The thing that bothers me about the guitar hero/rock band games is that if the people who played them put all of that time into a REAL instrument they might actually be pretty damn good. Just my .02 |

I hear so many people say that. I couldn't disagree more. The complexity of playing a real instrument is on a whole different level. Play guitar hero for a few hours, you'll start to get pretty good at it. Play a real guitar for a few hours, you'll be frustrated as hell and will have not even scratched the surface. |

Silver Member Username: WickedbassNashville, Tn Post Number: 147 Registered: Jan-08 | ^^^I agree. Sorry, didn't mean to come across as an azz. What I was getting at is not the casual just for fun player of the game but the ones who pour hours upon hours into it. What comes to mind is a couple of close friends of mine. They both play between 4-6 days a week anywhere from 2-4 hours per day. It seems like they have done this since the first Guitar Hero came out. What if the Jimi Hendrixs, Kirk Hammetts and Jimmy Pages of our time never pursue playing a real instrument in favor of just the game because it seems more fun than struggling with the real thing? ^^^That's mainly what im getting at. Again, not tryin' to be an azz or sound like a douche. |

Rappers pretending to be actual musicians and DJ's thinking that they have talent, are two examples. Rock Band and Guitar Hero are two more. Just remember... we aren't decendants of the fat and slow cavemen that got eaten by the dinosaurs. We are descendants of the quick little fückers that made it back to the cave. |

I've been there personally when I was 5' 7'' and 180 pounds at age 13-14 but at least I was still able to bench my own weight back then. You still packing it on Brad? |

Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 19176 Registered: Jun-06 | Rap is rap. I'm not going to dis a music genre. It is one now you know. What bugs me about SOME rap is how they claim to be "professional" musicians and performers now. Rappers don't play instruments or are expected to carry a tune. I'm sorry. They don't. Years ago MTV did a thing called unplugged. It showed exactly the kind of talent people had without the help of soundtracks in the background. Don't hate me for saying it..... |

Silver Member Username: Gavbo211Olney, IL US Post Number: 978 Registered: Jan-05 | Unplugged FTW! The Nirvana Unplugged album is one of my favorites of all time. On a side note, has anyone heard when jayz tried to sing wonderwall by oasis? it just blows you away how musically untalented some of those guys are. i will say that lyrically, there are some out there that are brilliant, but musically well.. not so much. |

Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesAndrew Capps, NC US Post Number: 2982 Registered: Mar-06 | Rapping I dont see as a talent. Anyone can sit down and write a bunch of words that rhyme but I do think free styling is a talent. Ive seen a few guys do it and it amazes me how they can come up with insults about someone standing in front of them and put it to a beat and have it flow so smoothly. I dont even think I could free style about how good a bacon cheese burger is from burger king |

Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego, California Post Number: 4841 Registered: Dec-06 | I keep hearing Lupe Fiasco is all great... are you kidding me? It's almost embarrasing all the lights and glitter they put around this fool to make him look like he is doing something. Then he gets some guy to sing the chorus and intro and even that guy sounds pitchy. I seriously don't know how anyone could listen to it twice. I had a pretty rough time making it through once. Absolute and utter talentless shite. |

Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 19201 Registered: Jun-06 | Not a fan. Not a listener. Don't know why but lately I've been preferring country music. A part of me always liked country music but I never let myself listen to it. Now that I have there's some fun stuff out there. Not to mention some of the chicks involved are hot as the sun. |

In the last few years: Patty Loveless, Strike Force, Melissa Manchester, Kris Kristofferson, Fall Out Boy, Manta, Headtrip Superstar, and Juice Newton + a hundred or so regional/newly signed bands that I did drums, guitar tracking or production for. I also help bands prepare their live show, which I did for Paramore early this year. |

Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesAndrew Capps, NC US Post Number: 2993 Registered: Mar-06 | I remembered Paramore... Is this all you do for a living or do you have a "real job"? |

Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego, California Post Number: 4877 Registered: Dec-06 | Off and on I have a "real job". I get easily bored sitting around, so right now I am working as a design engineer for a medical device company. I love the crew I work with, to make things, and I feel like I am helping people instead of my usual full-court hampering lifestyle. |
