Haha. Qatar hero.

[–]McFro 38 points39 points ago

He's clearly a Bard...and a bad ass one at that.

[–]gyd9181 4 points5 points ago

The beard gives it away, everybody knows that all bards have beards to channel their bardly powers...

[–]Serengaeth 29 points30 points ago

He's using Inspire Courage (+1), obviously.

[–]ElvisDumbledore 3 points4 points ago

[–]jzzanthapuss 5 points6 points ago

came here to make a joke about playing you the song of his people, then saw the video of him singing. he's singing that we don't have to fight and kill each other. and then someone started cutting onions in here.

[–]Deshi_Basara 1 point2 points ago

Same here, guess now I have to watch the video when I get home.......I'll probably forget by then, but I get the gist of it.

[–]Nohat_wears_a_hat 2 points3 points ago

Repost but still an awesome story behind it. And I'd have to say he would be the bravest man in that group, and if you doubt the logic in having someone sing to you in a firefight, look at history and drummer boys, a drummer boy that plays well puts fire into the hearts and souls of the men around him, and that fire and soul will transform into a burning fighting spirit that will drown their enemies.

And in the posted picture, remember which side won.

Edited to fix English.

[–]tilfordkage 5 points6 points ago

He is obviously a Bard that is buffing his party with various songs.

[–]AutoEuphoria 3 points4 points ago

Filming of the "Banjo" movie

[–]billthecat44 2 points3 points ago

I believe it's actually the middle eastern version of Deliverance

[–]DerManiac 4 points5 points ago

He's the minstrel. He's the healer in the party.

[–]Alamojunkie 3 points4 points ago

"all we are saying is give peace a chance"

[–]Omofo 0 points1 point ago

You beat me to it.

[–]NJSpradlin 2 points3 points ago

I wouldn't have used 'hilarious' as my descriptor for this picture. "Awesome" works better. You have to remember the seriousness of what must, because you admitted not knowing, be going on in the background. Look, assume... "There was a firefight!" People are dying.

That man is awesome, no matter which side he's on. He's inspiring his friends by standing with them and playing. Awesome, but not funny.

Read the posted article, though. It's good stuff.

[–]sexi_squidward[S] 0 points1 point ago

I was the one who posted the article....found picture first, then found story.

He's pretty badass.

Attached in the article is a video of another guy with a guitar singing while carrying an RPG on his back. Now he's a BAMF.

[–]idkfa7 1 point2 points ago

What the hell is in his mouth?

[–]unkfem 0 points1 point ago

I didn't even notice that the first time. Whatever it is that thing is huge.

[–]snorlax51 1 point2 points ago

My favorite part is the guy on what looks to be a 30cal wearing his battle sandals.

[–]knapptime18 1 point2 points ago

[–]sexi_squidward[S] 0 points1 point ago

TIL Russell Brand sings

[–]wahh 0 points1 point ago

I think that video was created for his Forgetting Sarah Marshall / Get Him To The Greek character.

[–]ajschlecht 0 points1 point ago

Here, let me play you the song of my people.

[–]RealLifeTim 0 points1 point ago

This picture always makes me think about tf2 engie's taunt. Hah

[–]mindstormy 0 points1 point ago

It is called larping and that man is a level 20 Bard.

[–]papertiger12 0 points1 point ago

Every sensible DnD group has a bard.

[–]Duraken 0 points1 point ago

Why do you think there is always music in your FPS games? Thank Mr. Banjo

[–]jacksonticks 0 points1 point ago

Just goin to war. In ma sandalz.

[–]erikmar 0 points1 point ago

It was taken during the revolution in Libya. A lot of people said it was fake, but I don't know/remember how that discussion ended.

[–]edorob01 0 points1 point ago

Clearly a middle-eastern type of warcry

[–]Jeezum_Crepes 0 points1 point ago

Can't believe that guy fights in sandals with all that hot brass everywhere

[–]Rebootkid 0 points1 point ago

Saw that picture and thought of this: http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0004.html

[–]varrien 0 points1 point ago

You spoony bard!

[–]DatSloppyTuna 0 points1 point ago

looks like the Fallujah Pop Festival was a big hit

[–]tamnoswal 0 points1 point ago

WAR! Hugh! Good God Y'all!

[–]remhawk99 0 points1 point ago

"how come I always have to hold the guitar?" "Because Faad, Iron man really psyches us up for revolution and stuff."

[–]burnshitfuckschool 0 points1 point ago

i think the context might be photoshop

[–]blaghart 0 points1 point ago

I hate to be a downer but seeing this again made me think of this :( right in the feels...and it only makes me realize the balls this man must have, regardless of what he's singing, to be standing in the middle of a firefight with no guns or armor playing his guitar.

[–]rotato 0 points1 point ago

I like this version way more

[–]sevenam 0 points1 point ago

his job is to keep the morale of the troops high

[–]lizzyk -1 points0 points ago

Hm.. so you saw random violence, are unaware of it's origin, and decided to post it because you thought it was hilarious??? .... Downvote

[–]lolhii -1 points0 points ago

Did it make you laugh?

Odd.

[–]sexi_squidward[S] 2 points3 points ago

It just kind of reminds me of when I played Lord of the Rings Online and played as a Minstrel. Using your guitar music as an attack because that makes sense lol
