Lady Nastja Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Very humourous and enjoyable. :) Thank you for sharing The Mountain That Posts! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gekke Henkie Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Yes, Axis of Awesome is.... well.... pretty awesome. Check out the 4 chords vid as well, it's really good (has nothing to do with asoiaf). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Ned With No Head Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Yep pretty much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair's Pantaloons Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 This video is funny but this attitude is actually seriously taken by several people around here, book snobs who look down on the show and those who watch it. Personally, I think everyone should be happy that there's someone else to talk about mutual interests with.Maybe that's just my inner boxing fan coming out since no one gives a shit about boxing and I don't have anyone to discuss it with.

Dolorous Nick Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 This video is funny but this attitude is actually seriously taken by several people around here, book snobs who look down on the show and those who watch it. Personally, I think everyone should be happy that there's someone else to talk about mutual interests with.Maybe that's just my inner boxing fan coming out since no one gives a shit about boxing and I don't have anyone to discuss it with.I find that some of the changes made in the series are actually improvements over the text, such as the added scene in Season One with Tywin dressing down Jaime in the Lannister pavilion while skinning a deer. That wasn't in the books, but it was a damn terrific way to introduce Tywin to the viewers. To play devil's advocate though, I sometimes find that my inner book snob rears its ugly head, usually when anybody calls Dany "Khaleesi" or during any of Shae's scenes (those are brutal).By the way, Hagler vs. Hearns 1985 is the most exciting three rounds in boxing history for my money!

The Mountain That Posts Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 I don't know what I enjoy more, the fact the song itself is parodying Rage Against the Machine, or the lyrical content and how relatable it is? (and spoiler free, which is good, since it means this song could be for anyone - even show only fans who like poking fun at us book snobs. :P ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dornishman's Wife Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I missed that thread yesterday evening (opened it actually, but went into bed before reading it), but that's turned out to be a good thing, because I found it again this morning, and that song is just the perfect way to start the day. Thanks so much for linking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mountain That Posts Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 I wonder if the guys in this band actually read the books or seen the show, or were just doing a song about how books are always superior. Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealbando Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Axis of Awesome are hillariousYes, Axis of Awesome is.... well.... pretty awesome. Check out the 4 chords vid as well, it's really good (has nothing to do with asoiaf).I think I`ve listened to 5 or 6 different version of the 4 chords, they`re all really good.

Don Roberto Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I wonder if the guys in this band actually read the books or seen the show, or were just doing a song about how books are always superior. Hmmm.I think they actually read them. Only someone who's read and reread them could turn up a whole strophe about waiting 6 years for Dance.

R'hllor the Fabulous Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 It would have been perfect but they forgot some lyrics. You know the part where he sings her name is Daenerys, not Khaleesi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindLikeWarp Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Just saw this for the first time, and I have to say it is pure gold. I feel like I owe them money, I enjoyed this so much. "...then a six year wait for A Dance with Dragons,a six year wait for A Dance with Dragons,waited six fucking years for A Dance with Dragons..."
