The Foo Fighters and Rick Astley blended Smells Like Teen Spirit and Never Gonna Give You Up in the best pop-grunge crossover ever

Back in 2017, Foo Fighters invited that other music legend Rick Astley to join them on stage for the most unexpected rendition of his smash hit Never Gonna Give You Up, giving it an unprecedented grunge feel with a touch of Smells Like Teen Spirit.

A Reddit user named MulciberTenebras recently shared a clip of the performance on r/nextfuckinglevel.

Here’s what Redditors thought of it.

Rick Astley is an enormous talent! His covers become unmistakably his own, which is the mark of a great artist.
