A
few nights ago, Foo Fighters gifted Westbor Baptist Church protests
what could the most awesome trolling they can ever get. The
Seattle-based band were met by protests from the religious hate
group. Ignoring them could have been a good response but Dave Grohl
and the rest of his band decided to give a more awesome reply – by
dancing their way to the middle of the protesters to the tune of Rick
Astley's “Never Gonna Give You Up.”
Foo
Fighters appeared in Kansas City again for a concert later that day
and before singing the song “My Hero”, Grohl talked about the
incident.
You
can't just sit there and do nothing; you got to go out and say what
you want to say. So we did," he said to the cheers of the
audience.
"Tonight,
we were sitting backstage, and someone said: 'Guess who is coming
tonight?' And I said, 'Who?' They said, 'Them.' I said, 'Why?' They
said, 'Cause.' And I said, 'Cool, let's go out and fuckin' hang out
with them,'" Grohl told the Sprint Center crowd (via Spin).
"So
we didn't have enough time to put together the big old show that we
put on last time, so we figured, you know what, why don't we just
fucking rickroll their ass? Cause nothing says love like a little
Rick Astley in your life, you know what I'm saying? Never gonna give
his ass up!"
Dave
Grohl continued on and dedicated “My Hero” to those who speak
their mind.
"So
I'm going to dedicate this song to all the people who go out and
speak their mind, to stand up for what they think is right, because
every time we got to stand up in this city in front of them, we do it
because we feel like we're standing up for what we think is right.”
