D&D Character Gif Hunt: Guitar wielding Heroes

edited October 2017 in Help / Advice Forum
It's time to start a new D&D game, and I'll be joining in as a player this time round. This 5th edition character will be a Eladrin Elf Bard, entertainer background, of the college of glamor. My spells are things like pyrotechnics, dancing lights, and charm spells. Pretty much everything to make me put on one hella boss rock and roll hero. As an added bonus, my GM is allowing me to treat my metal lute as a weapon (greatclub)!

As I play in Roll20, the next step is to find a bunch of awesome emote animated gifs that will help me show off my stuff. This is where i need help! I am looking for a list of media (anime, movies, shows, etc.) that I might find gifs of that have people using sonic attacks with their mouth or a guitar, physically ka-bonging with a guitar, and otherwise rocking out to great effect.

Things/ideas I already have:
  • El Kabong cartoon (hanna barbara)
  • Scott Pilgrim (of course)
  • FLCL

Help me find other things so that this bard can be truely radical!

Note: what the people look like doesn't matter in this, the emotes are used to represent what I am doing and for comedic effect. Any gender or medium is fine so long as it has them rocking out.

    Search for Brutal Legend gifs. There are a number that should work for you. Metalocalypse as well.

    Maybe also remember that "axe" is a slang term for guitar. Could be some good stuff there.

    Oh also the flaming guitar from Mad Max Fury Road. You could use that when you cast Heat Metal.

    Possibly look at cyberpunk, though it'll probably be electric guitars.

    What is this I don't even.

    It's not a "sonic" attack but Once Upon a Time in Mexico has several cool guitar attacks, including a guy shooting fire out of his guitar.

    I'm not sure about guitars as weapons, but the Bill and Ted movies or the old cartoon could probably be mined for material. As a child of the 80s and 90s, Wyld Stallyns are basically the platonic ideal of a bard winning hearts and minds with wicked guitar shredding.

    I am a lazy man, but luckily many people love making lists. Maybe look around to what you can find here http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Sound_Manipulation for yelling based attacks. The .gif attached to the page is already pretty good.

    Other ideas: There may something you can get from The Pick of Destiny by Tenacious D (or https://giphy.com/gifs/win-rock-b09xElu8in7Lq which is from the Tribute video I think), and though I'm not sure much of it is animated, from Noise Marines from 40k

    The music duel scene from "kung fu hustle" is one of my favourite fights in movies ever.
