just wondering which Game you prefer?

Or if you prefere the real deal:p

i prefer real....as I play drums (badly) and it is easier in real life than on the game...though it is probably the closest to the real on drums.

I like Rock Band better,...dont know why....me and my 10 year old ROCK OUT to BonJovi weekly! ha ha

Never played rock band so I can't say that.
Tried to play the actual guitar and failed miserably, so I would have to Guitar Hero.
I can only play guitar hero on easy though. So basically I suck at them all.
I Would have to say though I prefer Guitar Hero.

Real guitar. Guitar Hero is for retards who are musically impaired(no offense)

If you're referring to people who play the game then feign musical skill, then yes, that's pretty foolish. Personally, I enjoyed Guitar Hero, but it's too easy as I've been playing the real thing for years now. I haven't touched Rock Band; that seems to be taking the concept too far when you can just form a real band with your friends/girlfriends/drunks.

Rock band is quite the same as the guitar hero since you have to mash buttons to play, but rock band is somehow different since you can play as a "band" like you can plug in drum kits and such and be the drummer and stuff... As a PC user I prefer Frets on Fire since it is quite the same as Guitar Hero, and you can compose your own songs...

IMO I really prefer the real deal since I play like for 15 years or so and I tried to play Iron Maiden's trooper on Frets on Fire once and belive me playing it on electric guitar is way more easier, and I once saw on Youtube that Dave Mustaine couldnt play Hangar 18 on Guitar Hero

yeah, Frets on fire is better than guitar hero, because its pretty much the same gameplay, its totally free, you can make your own songs, and you can get all the guitar hero songs for it (if you have the game).

I've never tried Rock Band or real guitar, so I cant comment on either.

Have you ever thought that some of us just can't play the real guitar? As I said I have played the guitar but failed miserably so.....

Yes thats rigth!!!

Not everynody got time or interest of learning to play the guitar.
Guitar Hero are entertainment!

music is entertainment. hmm coheed and cambria have a song in guitar hero..
and in their commercial
i would buy a few more instruments way before i would buy rock band

edit- i mean, actually that's the rock band video game commercial that coheed is in. i'd get that

Well you kids can mash buttons better than pressing fingers on the fret board Real deal is for the patient and the gifted, and these are both rare talents only given to some blessed individuals, so I can t really blame you for playing GH or RB or FoF

FYI, I've seen kids play this game with as much skill as many musicians. It's just a matter of what your personal preference is on what you choose to excel in.

This simply isn't true. It's like saying you can beat Oblivion using only the mouse. Button-mashing kids couldn't play GH/RB/etc realistically as the game requires patience and attention to the beat, similar to playing songs on a real instrument. If you plod through the song haphazardly, chances are you will fail miserably. And these skills you've mentioned, while precious, aren't rare gifts/blessings to be distributed miserly by some unknown Scrooge, but freely available to anyone dedicated enough to practice diligently.

I prefer playing the actual guitar. These game only have one genre of music which is hard rock. I prefer metal. Besides, none of these come with a Gibson Explorer model.

I like the real deal also but GH and RB is also cool!

Just bought mi self a Fender Stratocaster

Good call, you won't impress any girls with GH
acoustic guitars are really nice, keep in mind. I practiced guitar for a year before I had even got the hang of it, but then again I was 12 at the time.

Yeas learning guitar can be hard!

but you can never get enough practise!

Thats right just keep practise and some day you will mayby be a Guitar Hero! ps: saving money for a National Style O (Could take some years) im practicing on the intro from Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet! beautiful guitar play from Mark Knopfler

Guitar hero specifically the first one. GH 2's song list was a bit bleh to me and I took 1 look at GH 3's and swore an oath I'd never play it. I've never bought rock band no game is worth $150 to me but I have played it at my friends. Again I'm not pleased with rock bands music list. Personally I'm not a that big a fan of any because I have poor reflexes and a bum left hand. I prefer drums I've been playing them for the last 4 years and so far I'm decent at them but because of my stupidity in my younger years I can't play them for long without having pains in my left hand and right knee.

REAL GUITAR FTW

Rock band is a blight upon all musical instruments!!

Mainly cus I suck at it like all other real guitar players are

but still, the music isn't even in rhythm with the "notes" cus you have to hit it like 2 seconds before it crosses the line thing

No.

Look, I enjoy the games, but most people that I know who have owned it (myself included) have gotten to expert difficulty in a week, and tht's just with casual playing. becoming a musician takes countless hours of dedicated study and practice.


Untrue. Everyone can play guitar. Everyone also sucks at first. It's just a matter of who is more dedicated to becoming a better player.
