You’re an idiot. Does your mom know you’re playing with her computer?

Guitar hero is for fags.

That’s fine, I love gaming too. Guitar hero is definitely fun and I would never have said anything if it weren’t for the ignorant people that DO compare the two. Yes we are a very judgemental society, but many people aren’t like that, and just because I get mad at someone who is ignorant enough to say that, doesn’t put me into that group. I am not saying they are stupid, just completely ignorant.

Okay, Rob, I do see your point but I think you are missing mine. Anybody who tries to compare playing a real guitar with playing a video game is obviously delusional — do you think that because you rushed for 200 yards a game in Madden means you can take LT’s job with the Chargers? Because you can beat Virtua Fighter 5 on expert means that you can kick Chuck Liddell’s ass in a real fight? I love Guitar Hero and have no desire to play a real guitar because I am a gamer playing a game. It is very important that you understand that sentence. Playing a real guitar is definitely cool, though. I think every country hates us because we are such a judgemental society that spends an inordinate amount of time talking about how stupid the other guy is (Anyone see a pattern). Oh well, I’m off to try to beat One on GH 3 with my trusty bottle of Yukon Jack — the more I drink the worse I play, hmmm.

Everybody misses the point on why real guitarists get pissed off about guitar hero. The reason they get pissed off is because of the people who say guitar hero is harder than real guitar. I have played guitar for 12 years now and can play mostly anything. Within 10 minutes of playing guitar hero I was beating it on hard. It took me atleast 10 years of dedicated PRACTICE to get to the point where I could play basically anything. I dare someone with no actual guitar skill to sit down for 10 minutes and learn a difficult song. They would be lucky to learn how to press down the strings hard enough for it not to sound like shit when they pick the strings. Guitar is so much harder than guitar hero, I can’t believe people are ignorant enough to even compare the two. Real guitar is like chess, guitar hero is like checkers…..no wonder every country hates us.

Ok, here’s the deal.
I love guitar hero and all of it’s spin-offs, but I have lots of friends who hate it. Why, you ask? For many of the same reasons already mentioned — it detracts from a real guitar, players think they can really play, blah blah blah.
You are all forgetting one thing — it’s a game. A simulation.
It’s like saying Mortal Kombat and Soul Calibur detract from real martial arts, and the latest Madden detracts from actual NFL Football. Guitar Hero is not meant to make people think they can be real musicians, and it is certainly not a substitute for being a real band. It’s just a fun little escape from reality — like all games (unless you really think you are a master sniper because you can beat SOCOM) — that a lot of people enjoy.

I personally, have no real guitar skills what so ever .. but I do kick ass at guitar hero.
I think it’s kind of ridiculous how worked up people get about a video game, it’s just a game. Someone that I work with tried to win an argument about it by saying “it’s stupid.. the time you spend being good at the game, you could pick up a real guitar and actually learn to play” .. as that may be true, I have no interest in actually playing a guitar and going with that theory you could say that for any video game
IE: why play need4speed when you could go be a race car driver, or why play grand theft auto when you could just join a gang and kill people?
The game itself is just that .. A GAME.
& you may think that the rhythm and everything is off .. play on expert ; the harder the setting, the more accurate game play is.
Spend more than 20 minutes in a store on the game, and you may find that you like it .. either that or stop complaining because you suck

Guitar Hero – Somebody has to say something….

So I’ve obviously been digging around the internet for other music blogs, stuff that relates to me. And this guy’s blog, I wish I could find the authors name, is one that I’ve been digging through lately…

I actually agree with almost everything…
