Rock it!
Two simple words yet millions of people do it everyday. What is it about that fake plastic guitar with five colorful buttons? Why do people play this? One of my favorite episode’s of South Park just shows how stupid it is to play this type of game.
Guitar Queer-o (Canadian Link) took the culture of the Guitar Hero crowd and picked it apart. Playing a real guitar vs playing a fake guitar, well the real one now is for “old” people, signing a contract to be a guitar hero rock star, and finally reaching some mystical high-score only to be told what a waste of time it was.
Yet people spend hours playing, and showing off Youtube videos of just how awesome they really are. Rock Band introduced drums and a microphone so now you can be a “real” band traveling the virtual globe playing at all the best fake gigs. Now that seems like a whole lot of fun…….. mom come quick the crowd loves me!
Come on seriously the guitar looks like something I had when I was four!
……. BUT and a big but, I still find my self reaching for the colorful Gibson, turning the receiver up to -10 (Don’t ask I don’t understand why Yamaha starts in the minuses and goes towards zero) and rocking out! Theres just something about mashing those five colours in a crazy solo, and hearing the music pounding that you get some feeling of satisfaction. go fuck yeah! I rock!
Just watch the intro for Rock Band and Rock Band 2 (High-res quicktime via Motionographer) and you’ll find out what I mean. There’s something about the two trailers that at the end I have to become a rock star!
While your at it check out Passion Pictures, they created the intro to Rock Band 2, music videos for Gorillaz and some other amazing videos.
What next?
