Any Guitar Hero fans?

The "dance pads" sitting on the media room floor have made way for a couple of guitar controllers now resting on a guitar stand in the corner.

My daughter is hooked on this game! I like watching her play it, and the game's premise is pretty neat...almost like a realistic rock guitarist's career path.

I'm having trouble mastering the game...and I'm an experienced guitarist!! My daughter's bass guitar teacher exclaimed that his student enrollment doubled when the game got popular!

I had to shop three different music stores to get a guitar stand!! Each store said their ample inventory got depleted during the holidays as a result of the Guitar Hero mania!

I noticed Rock Band is out too...drums, guitar, mic...cool!! The $499 entry fee (sans gaming unit) kinda put me off though!

My granddaughter took over the store at Best Buy one night at the GH demo. She did one of the toughest expert songs with nary a mistake and got a round of applause when she finished. The talent of some of these kids just blows me away.

At Christmas time, my brother in-law's friends brought over the Guitar Hero full band version, whatever the thing's called, with guitar, mic, and drumset.
I know how to play drums. I know how to read music. Trust me. This thing was nuts.
Then some kid who had no musical experience at all sits down and says "let me try the drums." He scores really high. Go figure.

Its popular at the dorms at school, I play it a bit when I am drunk.


I only play shooting, or racing games, mostly shooting.

Video Games are almost as Flash in the Pan as Disney Channel stars these days.

Links CrossBow Training for the Wii is awesome...


We have GHIII for the Wii.. tons of fun.. it sucks it is not surround sound. However; activision is fixing that issue and will be exchanging discs at no charge
