Now those are the idiots giving Guitar Hero a bad name and conujure up thoughts as to if this is going to ruin the music industry.


Anyways I tried playing "Gimme Shelter" on drums just to try the "real to fake" instrument expereince, what the hell! It was like the yellow button was broken! That stupid thing is a terrible timekeeper.

I have two things to say:


1.) This concept slays guitar hero's concept in many ways, all we need is some ways to add in your own songs, perhaps theyll keep releasing new ones each month and you'll be able to download them on xbox live or something.

2.) Unfortunatley there are some people out there with alot of unwarranted self importance who think they're too fucking cool to have fun playing a videogame.

All it takes for me to put him in his place is simply:

"Nick, I don't care if you can beat me at Guitar Hero, if there was a drum hero, it would kick your ass"

There's nowt like a decent game to kick back with when you can't be bothered to do anything else.

Still sticking with a tiny plastic drumkit being lame, though.

Then get Rock Band! You can play just the drums.

So far in Pavo-land, Rock Band is all about the drums.

The Strat feels very different, a little squishy to strum. I played the few couple of songs on expert and didn't feel much of a challenge. The timing window is a little different, I'm not used to its ho/po's yet.

So far, I've only been playing solo mode. Guitar Hero is much better at being Guitar Hero, although Rock Band is going to slay on multiplayer. I'm also digging the character customizations in Rock Band A LOT.
