The coolest way to celebrate American independence is performing on a throne, as thousands of fans scream their eternal devotion to you. Sorry, Taylor Swift.

The Foo Fighters returned to the spotlight Saturday night for their first gig since frontman Dave Grohl broke his leg on stage last month. The band played Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington D.C.

Grohl sang and shredded, while wearing a purple cast. Throughout the concert, he sat on a throne emblazoned with the Foo Fighters logo, which looked suspiciously like the Iron Throne, thanks to a dozen guitars poking out from its sides.

When you play the Dave of Thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground.
