Another Foo Fighters concert in Kansas City means another Westboro Baptist Church protest – and another creative counter-protest from the band.

As the W.B.C. – noted for its anti-LGBTQ platform and nationwide protests – assembled outside the band's Friday concert at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri, Dave Grohl and company rolled up in a truck blasting Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up," a real-life version of the notorious Rick Roll meme.

wow, they really like memes, just like us!!!!1 xD
this band is so hip and cool and d2earth <3

MORE LIEK DAVE TROHL AMIRITE

that is an awful sound system

they should have blasted them away with some hard bass and made their ears bleed

As much as I love the Foo Fighters, they should've just ignored their presence and played the show.

People get caught up in the idea of "Heroically" defying the WBC without realizing it just feeds what they do.

That was almost as cringey as their music.

But seriously that's not what rick rolling is.

So intentionally playing that Rick Astley song is "rick rolling" now?

That's just as bad as that black lady in the Ubisoft E3 press conference calling that one guy a "real life meme."
