Of Monsters And Men
[ranking: 7]
Of Monsters And Men is the second Icelandic band to have a cameo on Game of Thrones after Sigur R??s. They appear as Bravossi musicians in Season 6 at the play Arya attends, The Bloody Hand. They can be seen above the stage playing their instruments.
Sigur R??s
[ranking: 11]
Game of Thrones has a history of bringing musicians in for cameos, but Sigur R??s's appearance marks one of the few times a full band makes it onto the show. The Icelandic band shows up at King Joffrey's infamous wedding during the Season 4 episode "The Lion and the Rose." The band plays a cover of "The Rains of Castamere" during the wedding, perhaps foreshadowing Joffrey's untimely demise.
Steve Love
[ranking: 12]
Steve Love is a Canadian actor and YouTube star, and he makes a brief cameo in the Season 6 episode "No One." Love is well-known online for his spot-on impressions of Game of Thrones characters, so it's fitting he landed a role on the show. He plays a member of the Brotherhood Without Banners and receives a merciless end at the hands of the Hound, who decapitates Love with an ax.
Royd Tolkien
[ranking: 6]
There would arguably be no Game of Thrones if it wasn't for the works of literary giant J.R.R. Tolkien, so it's fitting his great-grandson makes an appearance on the show. Royd Tolkien appears as a Wildling in the Season 5 episode "Hardhome." Outside of GoT, he also appears in Return of the King and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
Gary Lightbody
[ranking: 8]
Gary Lightbody is the singer for the band Snow Patrol, and he lends his voice to the Season 3 episode "Walk of Punishment" as he sings the song "The Bear and the Maiden Fair." Lightbody is among the captors of Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth.
Ed Sheeran
[ranking: 1]
Ed Sheeran's brief cameo in the Season 7 premiere, "Dragonstone," is probably the most hated guest appearance in the show's history. Sheeran got so much hate online he had to temporarily shut down his Twitter page.
He appears as a Lannister soldier and sings "Hands of Gold" to his comrades before addressing his distaste for King's Landing. Arya meets the group of soldiers and has a rare moment of fun with them before heading off on her own. While fans of the show may have found this cameo annoying, one person loved it: Maisie Williams. The Arya Stark actor is apparently a massive fan of Sheeran, and showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss decided to cast him in this role as a fun surprise for Williams.
Sheeran was so hated that the writers actually included a brief quip about his fate in the Season 8 premiere. Bronn mentions "Eddie" had his face horribly disfigured by dragon fire at the Battle of Highgarden.
