The image on The Power of Rock shows a scared musician, whose guitar is set on flame by a dragon's fire breath and about to be eaten by said dragon. While it's certainly noble for a bard to stand up to a dragon and get killed as the result, that's not really what this trope is.

A better example, or last two panels of this.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Opened. I'm not where I can look at the examples, but the current doesn't impress me at all. Also, let's keep in mind that this is a subpaged trope.

4 is OK for me, I guess.

[up][up]If they look good wiki-sized, sure.

Anyone else pro/contra 10.1?

I am in favor of the Brütal Legend, but I like 10.2 better than 10.1 because 10.1 appears to have some quality issues.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

I like 10.1; I'm not seeing any quality issues with it, but I think we've established that for whatever reason, I often don't when other people do..

Honestly, they don't look as good wiki-sized as I had hoped. Still good enough, though.

First, as-is and cropped.

Second, 350 px height and 350 px width.

I like 19.2. It's more obvious in that one that the guitar is what is causing the pyrotechnics, then it is in 19.3 and 19.4

Aye, 19.2 looks better for me as well.

Either 19.2 or 19.4 are good with me.

Again, I prefer 19.4; both illustrate the trope well, but the latter is just a better-looking image in general. The vertical composition also looks better at wiki size.

I think 19.2 looks good.

19.4 is a little large in my opinion, but 19.3 might be a little small. Would it be better to have something in between?
