12 ‘Game Of Thrones’ characters as your favorite bands

Game Of Thrones season is upon us. The show’s creators gave us a musical teaser to the show’s ending, but it made us wonder: Were some of the characters influenced by our favorite bands?

Maybe not, but we see a lot of similarities between our scene idols and our GoT favorites. Check out our comparisons in celebration of the final season.

1. Jon Snow – My Chemical Romance

Jon may not be as dark and brooding as he was in The Night’s Watch, but the sad eyes he continues to carry give away his true identity. He doesn’t wear black anymore, but Jon Snow is as emo as they come. Add some eyeliner, and he would be ready for The Black Parade.

2. Tormund Giantsbane – Amon Amarth

This is the easiest comparison to make out of the entirety of this list. You’re telling us you couldn’t see Tormund backing the kings of viking metal? His last name is Giantsbane, come on.

3. Daenerys Targaryen – Billie Eilish

Both being thrust into the spotlight at a young age, Dany and Eilish share the same burden as up-and-coming favorites to take over the world, whether it be music or Westeros. The crown is theirs, and we can’t wait to see them in it.

4. Tyrion Lannister – Lil Peep

Tyrion and Peep are kindred souls through and through, and that’s even aside from carrying some iconic facial mods (whether they were given by tattoo gun or sword). Nonetheless, they’re both super lovable, but carry plenty of sadness despite a confident demeanor. Above all, they leave a mark on anyone who crosses their path in an amazing way.

5. Arya Stark – Marilyn Manson

Manson’s dark vibes and references to the occult wouldn’t be lost on Arya. Creepy assassin girl wearing other people’s faces? That sounds like a Manson song already.

6. Sansa Stark – Paramore

Both becoming increasingly confident over the years, Sansa and Paramore are almost unrecognizable from when we first met them. And, of course, there’s the similar hair color.

7. The Mountain – Slipknot

Slipknot should’ve taken some inspiration from the zombie hulk when designing their new masks. Quiet, badass and powerhouses in their respective professions, The Mountain would totally be a maggot.

8. Jaime Lannister – Black Sabbath

Jaime doesn’t carry the dark tones of Black Sabbath, but they’ve followed a very similar career path. After losing a crucial piece of themselves (whether it be a founding member or appendage), you thought it was all over. They may not be the same as they began, but the new version isn’t as bad as we thought and might even be better.

9. Cersei Lannister – Ozzy Osbourne


On the other side of the breakup is Cersei. She’s distanced herself from someone you thought would be there for her in the long run, but she now looks to carve her own path. Being solo reveals that alone, she may be more powerful than ever before. See: Ozzy.

10. The Hound – August Burns Red


He might not be a fan of the band name, but The Hound’s intensity and heavy hand matches perfectly with the fast-paced badassness of ABR. Could Jake Luhrs best The Hound one on one though? Too close to call.  

11. Bronn – blink-182

Sharing the ever-present shameless factor and lacking the ability to take anything seriously, Bronn wholly encapsulates blink’s complexion. Plus, we could totally see Mark Hoppus living in a castle. Don’t ask why.

12. Bran Stark – Dave Grohl

Not letting the loss of leg functionality stop them, Dave Grohl and Bran have truly gone the distance. Even after losing seemingly everything early on, the two persevered and share the ability to see their future greatness. We’re not making any predictions, but Grohl does have an iron throne of his own.
