yeah not all people are like that....some people may hear a song from GH or RB and it's a gateway for them to research the band more and find their other albums or similar artists like that.

I don't know why this is such a bad thing or even an issue.

I have used RB to get into some bands that I didn't know about.

I tend to dislike the music on GH because there's not much metalcore/hardcore. I'm not really into older music, like grunge or like 70-90s rock. It annoys me. I've never met anyone who like, loves rock all because of GH.

I'm just the opposite, except that I don't really like grunge either.

I've always liked the song selection in Guitar Hero, before they got bought out anyway, and started doing all this Aerosmith and Metallica crap. The first 3 and world tour all have great songs.

Oh no, I am not saying it's bad if someone enjoys a band because they discovered them on GH or RB, I just don't like the ones who pretend to like something just to fit in yet don't know anything about it but act like they do just becaue they played on song on GH or RB.

If you know what I mean, I might not be explaining myself well, lol.

Definitely. They'll always have to have the G'n'R, Sabbath and Lynard tracks but i respect them a lot for throwing alternative stuff in there, they're trying to reach out to the more discerning music fan.

any1 else notice this?
it acually makes me mad, like ill talk to sum1 who says they listen to metal, and ill ask them "do u listen to lamb of god" and you get the usuall "oh my god, Laid to rest is a sick song!" being the only song they know.
before when guitar hero came out, id be psyced that a metal song was on it, now its kinda depressing. i wish that if people discovered metal from guitar hero, they would try to expand their metal song lists. but instead they dedicate themselves to knowing just the single. or hit song.

Everybody has to start somewhere... even you.

Don't be such a knob.

newer stuff and some old Heavyweight like

Rush
Cream
The who
Deep purple
Mountain
Yes
and like Eric clapton

i only played GH once and when i seen the setlist i had alot of ol school rock cats

there's also shit like Boston and Foreigner, i'd say those games do as much collateral damage as they do good.
