[quote name="Fussbett"]I like that Rock Band is coming out just as Guitar Hero has gained mainstream acceptance and the digs of "why don't you learn a real guitar?" are dying out (except from South Park). Let's keep the <a title="LOL!">fretting</a> alive! Here's another article concerned about today's youth: <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/11/27/DDGNTHTE7.DTL" target="rock">http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/11/27/DDGNTHTE7.DTL</a> [quote]But something still seems fundamentally wrong when you pick up the video games, which both require that you press an ever-changing sequence of colored buttons to simulate playing the guitar and bass. (Rock Band also has a microphone for karaoke and a small drum kit.) What kid will ever want to pick up a real guitar, when learning to play a fake one is so easy? If Rock Band had been available in the late 1980s, would we even have a Green Day - or just three more no-name slackers killing a lot of time in their parents' basement?[/quote] This explains our current dearth of soldiers, race car drivers and athletes. Will rock and roll suffer the same fate?![/quote]
