I really dont follow World of Warcraft or L70ETC so I can honestly say that the undead guitarist from L70ETC was THE LAST thing I had on my mind when designing this character, I diddnt even know the character existed until you showed the pic. Even with D&D I always gave my Bard characters rockstar personalities and I have always wanted to see a medieval fantasy setting with more of a heavy metal/classical rock vibe. With the nordic theme of Skyrim if somebody were to give the game a bit more of a heavy metal overhaul this would be the perfect place to start and you gotta admit it is one of the more original ways to incorporate dragonshouts into the character's repertoire, it is certainly more interesting than a mace and shield weilding Khajiit.
It's still been done in popular media which is what you were talking about when it comes to peoples character ideas, and I didn't make any claims that my character was original

In fact I think I mentioned that I didn't think it was all that original.
It is a pretty interesting idea for the dragonshouts though, I'll admit that XD quite fitting for a heavy metal esque musician to shout down its opponents.
I would like to see a character in popular media that is alike to my character idea in details (and yes I realize the undead guitarist is not the same as your in details, only in rough drafts) and I'm quite sure it's out there somewhere, after all it's very hard to make something original these days, as proven by your idea having actually been done before in rough drafts despite being pretty unique (yes I admit to that too).
