Game Of Thrones Theme On Violin (With Tons Of Flair)

September 7, 2012 in beautiful, because the internet can't go a week without a game of thrones cover, giving it your all, good job, i couldn't tell if the video was supposed to tell a story or not so i just made one up and there were a shitton of dragons in it and i was a powerful sorcerer, instruments, production value, really getting into it, sure why not, violin

This is a video of violinist Lindsey Stirling (of Zelda, Lord of the Rings and Skyrim themes fame) performing a cover of the Game of Thrones theme. Like the rest of her stuff, the production value of the video is ridiculous and she plays in her usual -- what's the nice way to say spazzy? "Expressive." Yes! She plays in her usual EXPRESSIVE style. No worries, Lindsey, I play music pretty expressively myself. "You have zero musical talent." Whatever! *tries to whistle, spits out a tooth* Oh shishi, I hope that wasn't one of mine. "Who else's could it be?" I kiss HARD.

Hit the jump for the video.

Thanks to ChaosLex and Pat, who agree everything is prettier performed by a waterfall. Even a fat man playing with himself (although I still wouldn't pay to see it).

    That guy pulls funny faces

  • Sorry Lindsey, much as i like you, but the video of the cat is still better! What is the point of the guy in the video as well?

  • Girgear

    Peter looks more like Littlefinger than Ser Jorah.

  • I love her style, but the balance of the music drowned out the moving part of the melody.

  • Forblat

    I should like all of these movies, but I really, really don't. I don't know why, but I get tired of them 30 seconds in every time.

    that was the gayest thing, ever.

    Would have been WAY better if it were just layered string parts, and not the weird dude acapella/scatman john-like cheesyness.

  • Man...she is one giant ball of talent and cuteness! ^_^
