| ________________________________ [Apr 2,2007 12:03pm - JayTUS ""] I don't think they'll be able to pull it off... |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 2,2007 12:19pm - the_reverend ""] I'm more suprised that they think you will be able to pull it off. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 2,2007 12:22pm - Niccolai ""] There are already vocal and drum versions of guitar-hero type games, so it's not an un-doable concept. |

| __________________________________________ [Apr 2,2007 12:33pm - DaveFromTheGrave ""] you know whats cooler than guitar hero? guitar. |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 2,2007 12:34pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] yeah i get more gratification from using guitar pro and my regular guitar. |

| __________________________________________ [Apr 2,2007 12:39pm - DaveFromTheGrave ""] I can't even really play guitar, but whenever I see anyone playing guitar hero I think of how pointless it is compared to playing with an actual instrument and writing your own damn songs. |

It's a video game for christs sake. It's meant to entertain, not turn teenage boys into hendrix |

| __________________________________________ [Apr 2,2007 1:02pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i was hoping that this game would spur an interest in playing real guitar for people who normally wouldnt pick up an instrument ...however i have seen no evidence of that happening. oh well. |

| _______________________________ [Apr 2,2007 1:18pm - xmikex ""] one step closer to me never having to drive to band practice |
| __________________________________ [Apr 2,2007 1:19pm - dreadkill ""] guitar hero sucks. it's nothing like playing actual guitar. instead of playing a stupid video game, people should go get a real instrument and learn how to play it. |

My wife made the mistake of buying me Guitar Hero about 2 years ago. Then she got all offended when I never touched the thing. Why would I waste my time with that stupid thing? It's not like I'm good enough at guitar to not practice and play a useless game instead. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 2,2007 3:15pm - Niccolai ""] I think you guys are kindof missing the point. It's a video game and is not in any way a replacement or sub for guitar, just entertaining. It's like saying people shouldn't play DDR, they should go get real dance lessons, or people shouldn't play starfox, they should go participate in REAL air-to-air combat. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 2,2007 3:17pm - Archaeon ""] starfox is badass |
| _________________________________ [Apr 2,2007 3:19pm - Niccolai ""] Psh, go fly a REAL combat aircraft, n00b. |
| ____________________________ [Apr 2,2007 3:19pm - pam ""] Nerds don't have friends...who else will play with them? |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 2,2007 3:37pm - RichHorror ""] Pam will finally be in a band. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 2,2007 3:39pm - Niccolai ""] Zing! |
| ____________________________ [Apr 2,2007 3:41pm - pam ""] lol. jerk. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 2,2007 3:51pm - xanonymousx ""] so its donkey konga/ the drum arcade game, guitar hero and karaoke revolution all put in together. |
| _______________________________ [Apr 2,2007 4:01pm - xmikex ""] I used to goto Goodtimes with some friends once in a while, and there was a drum machine "game" there. There was this one guy who'd show up every single week with drumming gloves on, and a tank top like Lars in the One video. He'd drum along to Queen songs like he was playing in front of 20,000 people. And every time we went there, when he'd get up to get some water, or more tokens or whatever Lynchie would sit down at the machine and throw blast beats over Twisted Sister songs until it broke. The guy would come back and there'd be a a computer Error message on the screen, and he'd throw a fit. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 2,2007 5:17pm - dreadkill ""] xmikex has the best stories of anyone ever. that is a classic, especially the lars tank top part. |
| ____________________________ [Apr 2,2007 6:29pm - Dar ""] I love guitar hero It has nothing to do with playing guitar, I just love videogames and it's a very innovative and fun one. Also I'm sure it has inspired plenty of kids to try to learn guitar, for better or for worse. This looks like they could be ruining it, though. That arcade story is hilarious too...i miss arcade "culture" haha |

| ____________________________ [Apr 2,2007 9:23pm - mOe ""] HAH, i remember that game it was called Drumscape. there was one in the mall i frequented in high school and it was pretty awesome. I would play deftones songs like it was nobody's business. |
| ____________________________ [Apr 2,2007 9:25pm - mOe ""] That game will probably not be able to pull it off OR it will be awesome but cost like 300 bucks a unit. Come on, GH2 was like 90 bucks and it was a package with ONE guitar. Can you imagine some package with two guitars, a mic, and a Drum Kit setup. The Drum Kit part of it is what interests me the most, though. I'm sure it will be awful and nothing like playing an actualy kit, but what it will actually entail interests me anyway. |

| ______________________________________ [Jun 8,2007 12:58am - the_reverend ""] probably, but it's like 6 months before it's out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Band_(video_game) |
