![]() ![]() The whole thing – like the rest of Mad Max: Fury Road itself – is an absolute racket. Doof Warrior and his drummers motivate baddie leader Immortan Joe and his army of chrome-loving war boys with a live set of songs such as Claw Trucks, Spikey Cars and The Chase (actually written by Junkie XL), that wouldn’t sound out of place at Sonisphere – playing faster and faster riffs as the chase intensifies, slowing down to a slow chug in the occasional moments when they come to a stop. ![]() It’s one of the most full-on examples of a diegetic soundtrack you will ever see or hear, where the music appears to be played by someone within the film itself. You may remember him as “Trimalchio the Orchestra Leader” in The Great Gatsby. The Doof Warrior is played by iOTA (AKA Sean Hape), an Australian actor-musician whose management company pitched the role to him as a “a mix between Keith Richards and a scarecrow”. Impressive work, considering the movie has only been out for one weekend. Rock on, Karate Kid.The character, now inevitably known as “Mad Max Crazy Guitar Guy”, has entered of canon of minor cult movie characters in actions faster than you can say “That Insane ‘Mad Max’ Flame-Throwing Guitar Is No CGI Trick”. He’s classically trained and so switches the music style and begins a fiery solo that lights up the crowd and sends poor Butler back to the Devil. But Eugene has a trick of up sleeve, a card he waits to play until the very end.

The challenge is for Willie to have a guitar duel with Butler for his soul, but Willie doesn’t play guitar, so in steps Eugene, who plugs in and takes the challenges. Mad Max - Fury Road Poster - Doof Warrior Artwork / Guitar Guy / Furiosa / Action Movie Artwork / Wasteland Art Hooray This item ships free to the US. Anyway, heres a new video of Conan O’Brien as the Doof Warrior in the introduction to his Comic-Con show. The guitarist, who is played by Australias iOTA, was inspired by Sepultura and Soundgarden while playing the character. The Devil is sneaky like that. Legba transports them to a small music hall filled with a foot-stomping, howling audience dancing and listening to Jack Butler (Steve Vai), a blisteringly good electric guitar player who is wildly entertaining the crowd. Guitar players who have seen Mad Max: Fury Road know about the film’s bizarre flame-throwing guitarist, the Doof Warrior. But, Legba has an idea, which could break Willie’s contract, but since we’re dealing with the Devil, probably won’t. That Moment: A man named Legba (Joe Morton), who is the Devil’s (Robert Judd) assistant, made the deal with Willie when he was young, and no matter how bad Willie’s life turned out, he still owes his soul. It’s almost too much awesome to take in all at once and it’s certainly the best guitar moment of all time. ![]() Flames continue to erupt from the end of the guitar throughout the whole segment. As the truck is rammed left and right, the guitar player is tossed around like a rag doll but it doesn’t stop him from playing the most epic rock war ballad to ever be seen on the silver screen. At one point well into the movie, after innumerable near misses and outrageous near-death moments, Immortan Joe is nearly upon Max and Furiosa and the war music emitting from the truck is becoming more and more intense. Part of this cavalcade is an incredibly epic truck that features a huge drum section and a hoist that supports a guitar player whose guitar shoots fire out the end. Throughout the film Max and Furiosa are trying to outrun Immortan Joe and his cavalcade of men but, unfortunately for Max and Furiosa, they aren’t easily shaken. And nothing says action like a high speed chase. There are no moments of peace in this movie it’s all action, all the time. That Moment: Mad Max: Fury Road pulls out all the stops. ![]()
