I would jsut point out that you have to hear this stuff from somewhere, and Rock Band is as good a place as any.

And none of the MAdchester stuff that I like is in either game, except for a few Jam songs and a bad Buzzcocks cover.

I hate country never gonna like it. EVER no matter what kind pop sound it makes but my era was smashing pumpkins/ space hoggs/weazer/foofighters/nirvana well try them guys they are really good and if your a talented guitar hero MATELLICA

Agrees with Kamikaze14, Yeah, my parents didnt want me into this new “Disney Rock”, especially my dad, he LOVES metalica and AC/DC, aerosmith, and queen, the eagles, all the good ones, even judas preist.

So yeah, I’m in the blue, green, AND purple, and I’m trying to get my friends into real music…

ROCK ON

yeah and run on sentences are so awsome to read it makes you look so cool and smart and guitar hero has everything to do with what kind of music you like because classic rock is the only thing that you hear in games like that and yes this is what I said after reading what you posted

By: huh

huh — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 09:43:46 +0000

It’s a game. You can apply that to all games, I guess.

Halo, Doom, any other first person shooters SUCK! For people who don’t want to put forth real effort into learning how to kill people!
Mario, Banjo Kazooe, any other platform games SUCK! For people who don’t want to put forth real effort into learning how to JUMP!

See how stupid that sounds?

im getting sick of all these 6, 7 ,12 year olds trying to be cool by saying ” i was raised with it” “i was listening to it before guitar hero” first of all saying that doesnt mean your cool and second classic rock isnt even that good its all the same and i cant stand anymore little kids. and thirdly, guitar hero should have some more originalityand diversity with it’s music because rock/metal isnt the only music made with a guitar

Blue. Not sure that many 9 year old girls (in 1997) learned how to use a turn table just so that they could listen to their mom’s old Zepplin albums. Led Zepplin on vinyl is how God intended it to be heard.

By: thewho40

thewho40 — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 02:09:37 +0000

I’ve liked it since I was about 5. I’m 12 now, and I liked because it is actually AWESOME music. I’ve seen the who twice with my dad, and a couple led zeppelin tribute bands. Also seen ACDC. All my friends love it, like me, and my daaad grew up on it, and can play some entire the who albums on the drums, like tommy.

I should make a new graph with:

1. People who claim to be in the green/blue on this graph (98%)
2. People who are actually in green/blue (2%)

I’m green, purple, and blue! I was listening to classic rock before Rock Band (Pink Floyd has been my favourite band since I was about 12), but the games introduced me to a lot -more- of it. Some more recent stuff too, for that matter. My parents got me into some of it as well, although the ones I liked out of their music pool were kind of scattered, and they mostly preferred 90s alternative and punk rock. However, my love of 80s pop is my own, as is where I’ve branched out to from the aforementioned foundation. (For the record, I’m 17.)

By: CameoAppearance

CameoAppearance — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 08:53:20 +0000

Oh, come on. They’re fun; only a passing resemblance to real guitar or bass (the drumming is much closer to the real thing… but not -that- close), but more fun than several barrels of monkeys. Don’t be a snob.

By: CameoAppearance

CameoAppearance — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 08:48:58 +0000

Calling themself “Poop” doesn’t speak well for their intelligence either, nor does it suggest that they’re the type of person who would put much effort into schoolwork. (Technically, “effect” can be a verb, but it’s still wrong, because as a verb it basically means “bring about”.)

By: CameoAppearance

CameoAppearance — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 08:45:06 +0000

HEY!

By: CameoAppearance

CameoAppearance — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 08:43:51 +0000

Yeah, exactly. They’re great games. (Although I’m perplexed by him being familiar with Rock Band but not Guitar Hero. For most people it’s the other way around.)

This person assumes that people actually give a damn about his thoughts (or lack of). FAIL.

Anyways, I guess I would kind of be inbetween blue and red. My brothers introduced me to rock, as well as my friend, and I kind of liked it, but it was only until a while after that I started to really like it, so I guess green too.

Sad but true. What’s even sadder is that the first few posts are kids talking about where they lie in the graph.
See there are some kids that still listen to the radio, and that’s how I got into classic rock.

I hope every one of you dies in a grease fire.

Classic rock is homogeneous and derivative of a stiflingly rigid structure of preconceptions about how to create music. Kids who listen to it exclusively do so because they are out of touch. RB is an awesome game, though.
