Died a Hero Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 ...the three peice band that Joff threw the gold coins at was Sigur Rós? The dummer, leadsinger and bassist to be exact. When I reconzied them, I felw out of my chair and screamed, "That's fucking Sigur Rós!!" Everyone else seemed way more stoked about the pie though. Personally, I found it dry.

Lord Lyman Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 They wouldn't be the first musicians to be on Game of Thrones. Season 3 had the drummer from Coldplay drum at The Red Wedding, and Snow Patrols lead singer had a cameo has part of Locke's group. They were singing "the Bear and Maiden Fair" while on the move.

HexMachina Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Oh, I was more focused on Marge giving them lovey dubby eyes. I assumed thatbook spoiler one of them would take the place of the Blue Bard or Hamish the Harper whenever we reach that part of the series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koi No Yokan Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Yeah, was very happy with the cameo. Their rendition of Rains of Castamere is beautiful. Not many musicians can say they've been paid by King Joffrey throwing coins at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Desmond Wine's Bane Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Yeah, was very happy with the cameo. Their rendition of Rains of Castamere is beautiful. Not many musicians can say they've been paid by King Joffrey throwing coins at them. One would say he played for Joffrey once... or at least he would say, if he still had a tongue!

Envie Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Here's the production recording of Sigur Ros' version of Rains of Castamere. I really like it... quite eerie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3QW8PVyyNM Definitely not the tone you'd want to have played at your wedding though haha!

frankbeyondthewall Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 two of my favorite things at the same time! Thanks Envie, for posting that youtube link! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Envie Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 two of my favorite things at the same time! Thanks Envie, for posting that youtube link! You're welcome! The "dirge" theme they went with is very compelling. In fact I think I like it even better than The National's version done in a previous season and I really didn't think anyone could top that! I'm only sorry that little shit Joffrey had to go and interrupt them before they could finish it! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances Bean Corbray Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 One of my favorite sources of Unsullied show discussion happens to be a hipster message board. They were VERY amused to see Evil King Joffrey literally throwing money at Sigur Ros to make them go away (which I how I first realized the musical troupe actually was a celebrity cameo, and that it was actually them singing over the ending credits instead of Jack Gleeson himself [which would've been really cool]).

SlowLoras Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 They're one of my all-time favourite bands. I leapt up and yelled at the TV when I saw them. Great version of Rains of Castamere too...wonderfully dark interpretation of the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
