Dave Grohl Rocks Out Atop Custom-Made 'Game of Thrones'-Style Throne

Dave Grohl made a majestic return on the 4th of July, performing on top of a custom-designed throne at a Foo Fighters concert in Washington D.C.

Last month, Grohl broke his leg after falling off stage, which resulted in several canceled tour dates. But the constant diet of painkillers provided some unexpected inspiration, leading him to dream up a blueprint for his throne while under the influence of morphine and Oxycontin.

Grohl’s drug-induced invention bears a resemblance to another famous throne – the one from HBO’sGame of Thrones – but swaps out swords for guitar necks and throws in some “lazers [sic] and s***” for good measure.

And somehow, despite wearing a purple cast and having to stay seated, Grohl and the Foo Fighters were still able to rock out - delivering a 24-song set.

And at one point, he even took a break to bring his mom out onstage, dedicating the song “For All The Cows” to her – maybe not the best song title for a dedication, but a sweet gesture nonetheless.

Grohl, his brand-new throne, and the rest of the Foo Fighters are back on track for their tour and have dates scheduled across the country and Europe through November.

Microsoft upgrades its Surface tablets to Windows 10

Consumers interested in buying one of Microsoft's Surface tablets will now find it with Windows 10 preinstalled. Microsoft's online page for its lower-cost Surface lineup shows that the tablet now comes with Windows 10 Home edition. The page for the pricier and beefier Surface Pro 3 indicates that they're outfitted with Windows 10 Pro edition. Microsoft has been on a tear to push out Windows 10, partly to make up for the poor response to Windows 8 and partly to get as many Windows users as possible all on the same platform. The company has been offering Windows 10 as a free upgrade to Windows 7 and 8.1 users for the first year. Last Thursday, Microsoft announced that the new OS was running on 14 million devices since its official launch the previous day. Now the challenge is to get PC and tablet makers to outfit their new devices with Windows 10. Microsoft certainly would want to lead the way, so it's natural for its own Surface tablets to now be sporting W...
