Foo Fighters were picketed by The Westboro Baptist Church at their recent concert in Kansas City, Missouri. Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters had the last laugh though. Their response to the anti-gay-rights protesters was immense.

The group instigated a drive-by of the picket blasting out Rick Astley’s gay anthem Never Gonna Give You Up as they danced and held aloft signs that said “Keep it clean” on the back of a pickup truck.

The bands unlikely friendship with the 80s icon has produced some highly comedic moments to date but this is perhaps the finest to date.

Foo Fighters are currently touring their 8th studio album ‘Sonic Highways’ which was released last year.

Foo Fighters are nothing if not innovative and engaging. While they have been disciplined in maintaining that distinctive Foo sound, they have often thrown caution to the wind with regard to the process behind that sound. ‘In Your Honor’ saw the band record a two disc set, one loud and one not-so-loud, and ‘Wasting Light’ was recorded with analogue equipment. However, ‘Sonic Highways’ is without doubt the most ambitious idea that has been pulled out of the bag so far.
