Mastering a musical instrument is not just a skill, but a great way to calm your nerves. Game of Thrones has always had a deep connection with music with its amazing scores. The tunes were so great that Ramin Djawadi, the music composer for the show, has been called once again to score for House of The Dragon. The members of the cast are also passionate about music, like Jason Momoa.
Momoa was really excited when Guitar World reached out to him for an interview. He mentioned all his childhood heroes, “Pantera, Rage Against The Machine, Primus, Black Sabbath, Red Hot Chili Peppers. I love John Frusciante and Flea, they’re really huge in my life. Tool, too. I listen to pretty much all of it. A lot of the music I search for is a lot more off the beaten path nowadays. I respect everyone out there doing it, because it’s so hard and so challenging, and I just try not to judge.”
He continued, “I’m really rooted, like one of my gods in music is Tom Waits, but having said that, my goddess is probably Ani DiFranco. I was raised with Miles Davis and Janis Joplin, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor is one of my all-time favourites, too.”
“I always knew I wanted to play bass. After that I wanted to play standup, so I bought one and now it’s a passion for me, with how it makes me feel and how it sounds. I studied and studied and studied bass, and I was like ‘My God, I wish I would have done this when I was young.’ I wish that I had that opportunity –but I’m making up for the lost time.”
