I don't get the big deal about this, Rush tries to play their own song on expert and fails, they they continue to get up and walk away... then the video ends... I fail to see the humor...

So what, Rush can play their songs on real instruments like no one esle can. Why disrespect them because they havent mastered a game. On the flip side of that I have a story to tell about a cocky young kid and his mother who came into speak to a local guitar teacher. The mother said the kid really didnt need lessons on a real guitar, because he was an expert on Guitar Hero. The teacher smiled and handed the kid a real guitar and the kid asked with a confused look on his face, What are the strings for? True story...

I've heard the same thing about Eddie Van Halen. Not sure if it's true or not, but RockBand, Guitar Hero, etc has ZERO correlation to real guitar playing. If you enjoy the games, fine, but don't confuse it with the real thing.

I think you guys are kinda missing the ironic point of this. It's not saying they deserve no credit because they can't play their own songs on a video game. It's simply funny that real life and the game are indeed so different that the real band failed to play their own song. Personally, I think there is a correlation between the two: the better you are at the real thing, the more you suck at the fake.

It's lighthearted humor. :wink:
