Remember last month, when Rick Astley performed Never Gonna Give You Up with the Foo Fights at the Tokyo’s Summer Sonic festival and we thought it was pretty cool? Turns out that Rickroll was even more bitchin’ than we could have ever imagined.
Dave Grohl was on Hamish and Andy’s radio show via Skype and they asked them about that performance and Astley’s cursing on stage with them. Grohl then told the duo how the performance came about. They knew Astley was on the bill, but they missed his performance. Then when they were rehearsing, they were playing his biggest song and realized it sounded a lot like Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit. Which makes you wonder does Astley have a lawsuit on his hands?
Anyways, as the Fighters were performing, they saw Astley watching them from the side of the stage. Therefore, Grohl went up to him, introduced himself and vice versa. Then Grohl asked his new friend if he wanted to do that tune with them with their Grunge take on it and the rest is Rock history. What an awesome moment in Rock history it is?
So when Grohl said that he just met his new friend 2 minutes ago, he was literal. Seriously, Grohl is the coolest guy in Rock. Just when you think that he cannot be any more cooler, he does something like this. I just want to be friends with him for one night only. It would be one of the greatest night of my life and I would never forget about it for the rest of my life.
