Today I logged on into facebook and saw this on Fender's profile...

I just really don't like it... what you guys think?

[Grandturk]

I think its better than a plastic paddle - but that Rock Band/Guitar Hero game is shit IMO

[Drake S.]

This was bound to happen

Great, now a bunch of snot-nose little kids are gonna be better than me at guitar too.. Not that they probably aren't already..

That's why I think it sucks... playing the guitar doesn't take what it used to take anymore...this shit is not good believe me.... just think about it for a second... imagine all those kids...

Imagine all that money if they get Jackson/Charvel GAS....

Yeah. It's terrible.

[MindRapist]

Haters gonna hate. It's a lose/lose situation for the company. People are gonna complain about it being to easy with 5 buttons and now they are gonna complain about how many new guitarists are gonna spawn off of this game. Who gives a shit if a few new kids are gonna be able to play Smoke On The Water on guitar because they learned it off Rock Band? It's better that they learn songs off Rock Band where they will eventually have to learn some actual good songs as opposed to their close minded view on music which would make them learn nothing but Jonas Brothers.

Either way, I'm getting it. It sounds fun.

The little kiddies won't be buying this. This, along with the new MIDI keyboards and drums, are for the people who are heavily invested in those games. That guitar is to be bought separately and is rumoured to be fairly expensive and for the "Pro Drums" stuff you actually have to own a functioning electric drum set. You can actually hook a synth up for the keyboard parts too. I am definitely getting it for that. And maybe the drums too if I get a kit like I've been planning on doing. I just don't think parents are willing to drop $300+ on a videogame for their kid. They would rather the kid got a regular guitar.

I kinda wanna get it and customize it to be a Jackson...

[m2pmd70]

I heard it's gonna be MIDI based, so the guitar will be useable as a MIDI instrument as well.

Real guitars are for old people.
