HOLY SNAPSICKLES!

[Kwisatz]

Apparently Guitar Hero 3 will have Blue Oyster Cult's song "Cities on Flame With Rock and Roll" in it. I'm pretty excited, primarily because now people will know a song by them besides the big 3 ("Godzilla," "Don't Fear the Reaper," "Burnin' For You"), but now I'm dying a little bit on the inside because I'm that much less trendy and more conforming for liking them. They're my favorite band and I seem to make a big deal out of liking pretty much all of their material to some degree (except for Mirrors... even Club Ninja had its' moments, but disco metal is lost upon me). In fact I would probably qualify as liking them a tad too much, seeing as how I have almost all their records on CD plus a t-shirt, hoodie, poster, and having seen them live. The point I'm trying to make here is that I'm a rabid fan and that I now have internal conflict XD.

 

 

 

I also don't like Guitar Hero because about 3/4 of the people I know are disillusioned by it and believe that playing guitar really is that easy, and that playing Guitar Hero somehow trains you to play real guitar, when you don't even get the callouses or finger strength. But that's just me. I'm no professional but at least I know my majors and minors and triads (and a handful of modes) to a certain degree, and don't make use exclusively of the pentatonic blues or minor in my pathetic attempts at soloing. And I take pride in the fact that I don't abuse the whammy bar as many of my EVH-wannabe peers do.

 

 

 

Either way, discuss. And I know I probably said something I'll regret saying but I'm in a rush because I'm just so overwhelmed between this and my new guitar that will be here as soon as the eBay guy I bought it from ships the darn thing: http://www.jemsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=66037
