I agree with you completely Darkly Dreaming. This pathetic gaming industry is rendering people more and more into button pressing spectators.


The sad part is...is the fact that it generates some real serious revenue.

When it first came out, that's how I felt. But I noticed that my friends who played the game and really love it aren't the kind that would be learning to play the guitar anyway, and now they like the good Classic Rock and Metal better than the crap they were listening to.

And someone who's wants to make music won't be satified by a video game, They'll go after the real thing.

What the heck does "YOU ARE cousin should go kill himself." mean?

YOUR and YOU'RE are two different words meaning 2 different things...

YOUR means of or relating to oneself.

YOU'RE is the combination of the words YOU ARE.

Sorry, I'm just tired of seeing YOUR and YOU'RE, along with THERE, THEY'RE, and THEIR, constantly being misused...

For example the sentence, "Since THEY'RE going on vacation, the delivery man thought it was best to put THEIR delivery right THERE behind the house." would not make sense if THEY'RE, THEIR, and THERE were switched around within that sentence.

Those games don't make a mockery of anything, anymore than the Madden series does professional football players or war games do our fighting men. (This is sounding familiar. Where have I said this before? Oh, yeah, in several of the other threads asking this question...)

First Measure has hit the nail on the head. My own son started out with Guitar Hero, but soon hit the harder stuff; it got him interested in the real thing, and now he spends more time playing a real SG than a plastic one.

I was one who thought these games were just a waist of time but I was wrong.If anyone has read any of my post you know I have a hand injury thats going to require surgery and have not been able to play for 15 months and counting.I have 2 sons 16 and 11.The 16 year old was blessed with a musical gift or as I call it the lazy mans musical gift he can sing like a pro and I dont know where this came from but he loves music from the 40s and opera go figure and never had an interest to play guitar.So for christmas they wanted guitar hero and im flipping out because I own 10 quality guitars and they want a plastic toy.Well by February my 11 year olds favorite band is Aerosmith and I catch him on youtube watching MR.CROWELY and watching Eddie playing eruption over and over.Then came the question I was praying for DAD can you teach me to play guitar BINGO.Now its APRIL he is playing a tele the opening riff to crazytrain and smoke on the water ,and almost all of Iron man and all the correct way and I have to say it was because of that stupid game,and yes I tried it and stunk
