Does Rock Band mislead untalented, rhythmically-challenged gamers into their thinking their the next greatest musician of our time?

I hope not.

There's nothing more painful than seeing someone with zero potential rock out like like their the shit.

Congratulations, you....are...fags!

For 150 you can buy a used real guitar.

But you can't buy a group of people willing to play with you, and with Rockband you don't have to. I have a real guitar and I still enjoy playing Rock Band, it's not the same kind of fun (namely because I enjoy drums).

What about Rock Band makes it any worse than Guitar Hero? You buy the instruments up front? But on the other hand it's got more variation, more downloadable content so you can keep going, and a character creator to design your own star and your own instruments.

All in all, I don't see why there's so much criticism. Harmonix is doing a great job with the game.

As for the picture... Drumming standing up? WTF?

I have nothing personal against Rock Band or Guitar Hero. It's just an easy-to-make-fun of piece of our pop culture. I still find it ironic that for 150 you can pick up a decent used guitar. Guitar Hero + beer = good party game. If you have the cash to spend, I'm sure Rock Band is just as much fun as Guitar Hero.

Far more fun.

-3-4 people at once
-chicks love it
-drumming surprisingly fun
-karaoke

Seriously...a small house party with some buddies and ladyfriends along with an abundance of alcohol mixed with Rock Band is one hell of a time.
