Foo Fighters Rickroll Westboro Baptist Church
By Chris Cooke | Published on Monday 24 August 2015
That crazy Westboro Baptist Church bunch set themselves up outside a Foo Fighters gig on Friday to do one of their crazy protests. But I think the band got the last laugh. Again.
On hearing that the Westboro lot were in town, the band found themselves a pick-up truck and drove past the protestors with Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ blaring out the speakers, and carrying signs declaring ‘Keep It Clean’ and ‘You got Rickroll’d (again)’.
It’s not the first time the band have responded to a Westboro protest outside one of their gigs by firing back with a tune, though it was still a fun little episode, which was captured on camera here.
