Between breaking his leg during a concert (and returning to the stage after a brief hospital jaunt), getting stoned and designing a custom performance throne, performing on said throne with said leg cast, watching 1,000 musicians play an epic cover of "Learn to Fly," and serenading the most emotional man in the world, Dave Grohl's had quite the summer.

But everything else he's done may pale in comparison to Grohl and his band's latest antic: delivering a good, old-fashioned Rickroll to the ultra-conservative Westboro Baptist Church members who turned up to protest the Foos' concert in Kansas City, Missouri Friday night.

The tiny protest -- marked by church members carrying signs bearing slogans like "God Hates Proud Sinners" and "No Special Laws 4 Fags" -- turned into a huge dance party when Grohl and co. rolled up on the street in front of them in a pickup truck, blasting Rick Astley's 1987 hit "Never Gonna Give You Up" and holding signs declaring, "You Got Rick Roll'd" and "Keep It Clean."
