Is it Rockstar to smash the Guitar Hero Guitar before I even use it???

What's pathetic is how some people believe if they're good at guitar hero, they have "potential to become real guitarists"...

GH is a lot of fun. But as a guitarist for over a decade, I'd rather play with the strings rather than the buttons! =)
 
I would imagine that the better you are at playing an actual guitar, the more it is second nature for you to want to move your fingers like you would actually play a particular song when you hear that song, regardless of what the colors on a screen are telling your hand to do. (I expect a person who plays real guitar to look more realistic playing "air guitar" for this very reason - their hands/fingers are trained to move in the proper ways.) One of the guys that I spoke to that had this sort of trouble with Guitar Hero, knows how to play guitar, bass, and drums and is pretty proficient in all of them.


My boss, who plays guitar and has Guitar Hero III for his Wii, tells me that Extreme mode comes close to how it actually plays.

Maybe it should reallly be called "Keytar Hero." :lol:


Someone called in with a request for Dragonforce last night at WREKage.
I couldn't resist:

"Hey, let me guess: Are you a Guitar Hero player?"

"Dude! How did you know?!"

:lol:
 
As a non-player of Guitar, I can say safely that every time I DO get the urge to play, I pick up Rockband or Guitar Hero and try an expert song. 45 seconds later, the urge to play a real guitar is gone.
 
I realize Guitar Hero is just a game, but someone should make "The REAL Guitar Hero" where you actually plug in a real guitar and actually play music. Then they can start having real competitions for folks to win money, instead of all this crap of people playing a video game and winning more money than a house band makes in one night. :rolleyes: [Ok, sorry, END RANT]

Just gotta say that Video game competitions are nothing new. People literally make a career out of being a gamer. It just makes sense since this game is popular. I agree with what you are saying in essence though.
 
Nothing is more metal than smashing a Cello at a symphonic concert.
Unless you get up, smash your cello into the tympani, and go on a tuba rampage. That would be most excellent, and far more metal than anything Guitar Hero has to offer.
