its obv not dead if theyre releasing Guitar Hero Metallica!! thatll be the best game yet. no shitty tunes to have to play through 2 get to the good ones at the end!

learn the real fucking instruments!!!!

i agree with emperor

There’s no point in learning the real instruments if all you’re going to do is re-hash the same shit as everyone else!

I play all of the Guitar Hero instruments, and I also play bass and sing in real life. I also play (limited) guitar and I can do a few basic drum beats and rolls…. So yeah.

Guitar hero realized that their sales werent as good so they developed World Tour to regain its fun factor

Guitar zero, and c-ock band should be destroyed.
If you can dedicate your time to getting a song on expert, why dont you give yourself a little bit more self worth and learn a real instrument.

Realism FTW

i agree with Emperor too wats the point in playing a virtual instrument i find it more fun to learn a real instrument plus you can make some cash out of it if you get any good

you guys are idiots. its a computer game. thats like saying dont bother playing fifa or pro evo because you may as well be playing real football. its fun to play the games. its not an attempt to emulate the real thing. any beginner can pick up a guitar hero game and rock along to their favourite songs. its called doing something for fun. it takes months of practicing hours every day to get to the same level on a real instrument.

i play guitar pretty well and play in a band that has gigged with many big signed bands, yet i play these games after a few beers with some friends its a good laugh.

i also agree with emperor. what the hell is a guitar with 5 frets and 1 string?? nothing beats the real thing.

It is just a game and that is all. To lazy to kill real people in the marines, you play call of duty. To lazy to play guitar, play guitar hero.

the point of playing a virtual instrument is to have light hearted fun, obviously, i play bass and drums but guitar hero/rock band is fun on a drunken friday night

I think that Guitar Hero is a load of fun, and if you’re someone like me who had the entire family involved at Christmas, it becomes a big laugh. It’s definately a hell of a lot quicker to learn than the real thing and you can find some of your favourite songs on the game. I agree that we shouldn’t get to obsessed with a piece of plastic, but yeah, since Rock Band raised the bar with the “whole band” thing, GH have had to step up to compete and there isn’t much of a direction to go from here, other than releasing more songs and changing the graphics. I think they maybe have one more game in them, unless they find some miraculous way to reinvent something.

Jesus, all the comments about “learn how to play a real instrument!!!” are pissing me off. It’s a game! I play it when I’m bored and honestly am too tired and/or lazy to do anything else. I happen to be good at it. Does that mean Guitar Hero is my life and I don’t know how to play any instruments? No. It’s a great game to play with friends and laugh. And I happen to play drums as well as knowing the basics of bass and guitar, so don’t bother saying “LEARN A REAL INSTRUMENT! LOLZ!!!!!!!!!”
It’s a game.
(a very fun game. ^__^)

Guitar Hero is an okay game to an extent, it’s the players who are the arseholes. They can do a song on Expert mode 100% and think they’re better than Steve Vai and Joe Satriani put together, when really they’re just a sad bastard with no life.

I agree but if it wasnt for these games i wouldnt have gotten into some of this music. These games such a wide array of metal and blues to people put it this way at least its not FUCKIN HIPHOP!

Enjoy yer geetars while they’re still around – with Guitar Hero etc. they’ll be as old skool as friggin lutes in a few years !!

And FFS ,my kid sister could beat Steve Vai on GH playing with her feet in wellies.

if these games are so shit and not like the real thing how did activision get fuckin OZZY and Zakk wylde to give their likkeness and voices to the FUCKIN game… yes learn the real instruments but if they can get legends like wylde, nugent and fuckin ozzy to be in the game its a good thing and its just for people who like to have fun with some mates after a few drinks or if they are just fuckin bored!

To be honest I don’t really care, i’m learning to play real guitar and I barely ever play Guitar Hero. I only have a quick go on my brother’s GH World Tour every now and then. Although I don’t see what the fuss is about GH or RB because I find they get boring after a few goes, so yeah…. big wow
XD

Guitar Hero world tour is the worst in the GH series for me. The song list is sooo shocking, didnt even know over 50% of them. Not enough metal simply. Plus the loading times are piss poor.

Wont be buying GH again thats for sure.

R.I.P GH

fifa wont kill music.
cod 5 wont kill music
guitar hero has/will kill/ed music.
