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

Nevermind. I'm an idiot. I figured it out.

no, it's only "rockstar" to smash it after selling out the Meadowlands.

I got Guitar Hero I and II for xmas - a friend of mine donated his PS2 to me in November along with the axe, but he had no games as they had been stolen by movers. I actually learned how to play on the regular controller first, as I was out of town for the holiday, and then started on the axe.

...that Queens of the Stone Age track is a BITCH even on easy!

My son just blew through The White Zombie track, not even playing it or hearing it previously. I think the boy's got talent! (But aren't all parents supposed to say that?)

His first rock star move:



His shirt is inspired by Nigel: Now that I think about it, that picture is so priceless you can't even look at it!

Looks like he's having a lot of fun. Just hope that the toy doesn't ruin his chances for true rockstar-dom.

I've heard many an actual guitar player say that they cannot play this game due to the fact that it is nothing like where your fingers should actually be positioned if you would really wanted to play any of the songs on the game. I don't know personally, but I would imagine that the more you train your fingers to play for color/hand/eye coordination purposes for a video game, the harder it would be to re-train your hands to learn the actual positioning for notes and chords on a real guitar to make music.

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.
