I understand and respect what your sayin but I have to differ on a few things. Ace though easy on guitar maybe a bit difficult on the game because of the gallops and what not.. it isn't as easy on the game
I fully agree that people should be learning the guitar and drums and actually going out and playing music.. but these games are actually a great thing for Rock and metal these days .. they might be "gay" but look at it this way. The market is flooded with sugar coated bubblegum pop and shitty hip hop that can be manufactured by any talentless douchebag in their bedrooms.. if you look at billboard charts, there is maybe 1 or 2 bands in the top 40 (usually number 16 or something) so Rock music isn't being pushed as "cool" to this generation.. with so many things like Video games, ,my space, etc.. less and less kids are getting into Rock music and picking up instruments and learning to play.. These games open up the doors for alot of great bands to be heard by millions and not just the target audiences of the radio stations and the ocasional cable network
I think these games are influencing alot more kids.. to be "guitar heros" and keeping the dream alive.. if anything they are opening their minds to real musicians and great tunes.. and not the jonas brothers.. lil wayne bullshit they are force fed everyday
but .. tis true.. people should be listening to rock music and watching porn
At the same time though it isn't good for metal in all honesty. It's good for cheesy bubblegum metal. Corporate metal. You want a challenge on guitar hero? Why not put something off of an Angel Corpse record on the game? Hell, you'll knock Painkiller right off the number one spot as being the toughest. Now, you might say "No one has ever heard Angel Corpse" which is true, but how many of the mindless fucks that play these games have actually heard the song "Painkiller" before? A quarter of them if that.
This game only opens up doors to bands who no longer need doors opened for them anymore. What does this do for the real metal guys that tour the country in a converted cargo van, bathe at truck stops or gas station bathrooms, eat pizza off the hood of the van everynight, and get dicked around by promoters? Nothing.
Corporate metal continues to praise those who have already been praised or those who don't deserve praise.
These fuckers don't even have the balls to put Manowar in one of these games. They define metal and it often isn't pretty. LOL
Once again, just my opinion on the game and the whole situation. Nothing against you or anyone else who enjoys these games. For once in my life I'm being nice and respectful of others opinions. LOL
Doors don't need to be opened. People actually need to play the instrument and just do their own thing. Fuck lessons, fuck playing like someone else.
There is no right way to play that guitar or those drums. It is all up to you.
Create your own door and open it yourself. This game just creates posers who recreate instead of creating.
