Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters explained their “rick rolling’ escapade for the Westboro Baptist Church before performing My Hero, in St Paul on Saturday night.
Dave Grohl told his St Paul fans, “You can’t just sit there and do nothing, you got to go out there, and say what you wanna say, so we did. Well 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 for a bit.’ 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!
“So I’m going to dedicate this song to all the people who stand up for what they believe in. I’m going to dedicate this song for 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”.
