Last week, a video showing Tom Morello, Scott Ian, Nuno Bettencourt perform the famous Game Of Thrones theme on Game Of Thrones Fender guitars was released (opens in new tab).

The trio were joined in the clip by Djawadi, along with the show’s co-creator and showrunner D.B. Weiss and American singer, songwriter Brad Paisley.

Back in 2016, Anthrax guitarist Ian was transformed into a White Walker, while Mastodon appeared in the series in 2015.
