What guitar hero could do to some good bands.

[JWright22]

Honestly if in a guitar coming up i see all time low, we the kings, etc. I will be pissed cuz then you knwo that some of the people will get into All Time Low and claim that they are "true fans". BULLSHIT

[Machu505]

All Time Low have fans?

[JWright22]

LOL yup. obviously you don't like them lol.

[DilesMavis]

-_-'

[fly_guy]

Why do kids always have to claim they are a "true fan"? It doesnt fucking matter! If you like a band, you like a band.

[timbedinosaur]

So let me get this straight. You think you're a better fan because you've known them longer than others? Bullshit. Seniority doesn't work in music. What makes one fan truer than another? Tell me that. And besides, have you seen the fans All Time Low and We The Kings have? They're mostly preteen and teenage girls. Hardly what I think you would classify as a "true fan." Besides, it's highly unlikely that they'd put those two bands in Guitar Hero. You know why? Because they haven't reached huge notoriety and they don't go for that type of music on their games. And besides, whats wrong with a band having more fans? Are you that greedy that you'd rather have them not go anywhere rather than get more fans? I get it's hard to deal with new success of your favorite bands, but you're just being an idiot.

I agree with you on this but I don't get why you're calling them "kids" when you're 15 yourself. Hardly what I'd call an adult

[fly_guy]

Thats what I am saying. Most of the kids that like All Time Low heard about them from MTV. If you didnt know, a band has to be pretty big to get on MTV anyways, so you arent a better fan than any of the other girls that like them. However, there are some kids that stumble upon bands right before they get big. They arent any better of a fan then the ones who saw them on television

[fly_guy]

I didnt mean that I was looking down on them. I was just stating that kids in my age group always do this crap

Yep.

To quote the ever-credible Dr.Steve Brule:
"You turkey!"

[caLLmEnOoNe]

oh. that's too bad =/

[Burn That Shit]

This is a terrible, terrible fucking thread.

[MADSTA]

Honestly, when All Time Low fans make threads and claim that what they write are "sentences" it pisses me off. BULLSHIT.

Oh, he is pissed.

[Fuckmaxbemis]

Rock Band and Guitar Hero have never had a band on them which marred their legitimacy. Not once. Sure, Weezer was on Rock Band but they're fucking sell outs anyway.

So what has been earlier posted about seniority and ripping away "true fans" is confirmed.

In honesty I'm less inclined to discover a band through a video game that is meant to entertain the masses, but that's not to say they can't be good. Seriously though, I doubt my favorite bands would ever be on Rock band or Guitar Hero to begin with, and as for the occassional band that I like that does show up in these games, it doesn't make much of a difference anyways.

[Burn That Shit]

Real fans are fans that are fucking excited when bands they like are doing good, not angry when there's a possibility of them gaining more fans you fucking moron. This thread is fucking terrible.

[thesafeword]

The funny thing is that All Time Low and We the Things are all over MTV and the radio, everybody fucking knows who they are.

[thespearkid]

Don't you have to have riffs or solos to be in guitar hero?

Weezer aren't sell outs.

[Fuckmaxbemis]

1,000+ posts has made me realize there's a minority of people over the "I listen to whiny MTV rock" phase on these forums.

[thespearkid]

This generation is fucked
Ugh. I'm so sick of hearing this. Just because a bunch of kids want to listen to shitty music, doesn't mean you can make a generalization about an entire generation.

Who cares.

Weezer aren't sell outs.

I disagree, and it's not because I dislike Weezer, by no means, one of my most favorite bands, but as much as Rivers Cuomo would love to preach about how much of a rebel he is to record company's, they are still signed to Geffen, the same fucking company they had Blue album signed to back in 1994. After typing that I realize that I might actually adjust my statement to:

They aren't sell outs, but they certainly aren't as anti-establishment as Rivers cuomo would like you to believe, and in that sense, he has sold an attitude to you, an attitude that's been churned out by record labels since the beginning of rock n' roll.

Weezer has never been anti-establishment or sold a "rock n' roll" attitude. Quite the opposite, in fact.

[Fuckmaxbemis]

I guess you've never listened to the lyrics of Pork and Beans or any of the songs in Red Album for that matter.

[thespearkid]

I guess you've never listened to the lyrics of Pork and Beans or any of the songs in Red Album for that matter.
I guess you don't understand the Red Album. Rivers, Weezer, and every fan knows that most of those songs are referencing Rivers' youth. If Geffen was trying to sell an anti-establishment image, would they really let Rivers grow a dorky mustache and wear a cowboy hat on the cover?

Weezer is all about ironic dorkiness and, occasionally, painfully lonely self-deprecation.

I'm going to have to stick my dukes up, you're questioning my Weezer fanaticisim.

Just saying. The Red Album is like when your dad calls himself cool and tells stories about his "wild nights" when he was younger. It's very tongue-in-cheek.

[Fuckmaxbemis]

My dad isa conservative ex-jehovah's witness, so I've never experienced that.

[timbedinosaur]

Just because a bunch of kids want to listen to shitty music, doesn't mean you can make a generalization about an entire generation.I'm part of this generation and I'm saying, not just cause of shitty music, but the choices that are made. Drinking is more frequent in minors, kids having sex at extremely young ages, and stuff like this.

[liar23]

sooo me drinking makes this generation bad?

[thespearkid]

The sixties?

[timbedinosaur]

No. The fact that it's so common points towards having more problem drinkers when they're older

[liar23]

alrighty then

[timbedinosaur]

But I really don't care how fucked this generation is, I'll be fine

[SanePsychotic]

But I really don't care how fucked this generation is, I'll be fine

Woo! Apathy! :rolleyes:

[Fuckmaxbemis]

Drinking has nothing to do with it, it's apathy. Consumerism, Commercialism, and Marketing in general are extremely prevailent to the extent to which the youth, who are inherently gullible and vulnerable, become selfish and capitalist oriented.

[thespearkid]

If you can find one statistic supporting that, I'll eat the crab salad that's been sitting in the back of my fridge since before Thanksgiving.

Sort of but with internet and different technologies making it easier for people to be less direct.

[chipdip18]

All Time Low will never make it onto Guitar Hero because they don't have good enough guitar, bass, or drumming parts. Or vocal parts.

This thread should be, "which bands do you like now because of Guitar Hero". Still stupid, but better than the original.

[eHaMpToN]

honestly if in a guitar coming up

[chipdip18]

what?

[Chris Fallon]

Translate to English, please.

[Charles777]

Dude, I totally HATE it when bands get the attention that they deserve. I wish they would make music for just ME, and not reach any other fans.

[fly_guy]

It sounds bad, but thats what those "true fans" indirectly imply when they talk about the subject

[|adr3naLine|]

Alls I want the GH franchise to do is stop beating off to Metallica. I realize that they have a lot of skill in music, but I just really dislike the band.

You've got to admit, their songs are fun to play even if you don't really like them.

[AussieBoy]

wouldnt u be happy to be playing bands u like in Guitar Hero rather than some one u dont????

im stoked when i see bands like Paramore, Bullet and Blink in the Guitar Hero rather than Toyko Hotel or some crap

[fly_guy]

I dont think Tokyo Hotel was in guitar hero.....

[thesafeword]

They were.

[fly_guy]

Wow, I missed that

[thesafeword]

Yeah, it was boring as fuck.

[fly_guy]

Im not a guitar hero fan anyways. The only thing that GH has that RB doesnt is At The Drive-In.

[thesafeword]

GH World Tour is pretty fun, but I haven't played RB so I won't try and compare.

[Exzor]

We may not that like some of our favorite bands are on Guitar Hero or Rock Band, but they love it. They are gaining popularity and more fans becuase people discover them on these games.

[robat19]

This is Dave undercover...

[viva la cymche!]

They wouldn't put an All Time Low song in Guitar Hero because it's just two chords played over and over.

[underthetalking]

GH World Tour is pretty fun, but I haven't played RB so I won't try and compare.

Its the same game.

[thesafeword]

Yeah, ATDI was kind of the deciding factor, haha. Overall, I felt like it was a better soundtrack on GH.

[underthetalking]

Yeah, ATDI was kind of the deciding factor, haha. Overall, I felt like it was a better soundtrack on GH.

Haha, good call. Thats really the only way people can compare it. I love it when I'm in my store and people are like oh, this sucks, Rock Band is waaaaay better. I'm like, "Jesus, its the same fucking game. They even look the same."

[thesafeword]

Yeah, it wasn't really an issue of which game, but the songs and I felt that GH was better.

[AussieBoy]

obvisouly is a good chance its her cause shes in the game, but is that hayley on the front cover of GHWT? just thought it was strange shes on it but not travvy or sting etc

[|adr3naLine|]

You've got to admit, their songs are fun to play even if you don't really like them.

Yeah, which is why I understand them being all over the game. But like someone said before, I like playing songs that I like, or am at least familiar with. Which is why I like World Tour a lot more. There are songs from just about every genre. Even though their very easy to play, I love playing Santeria, Dammit, Misery Business, and a ton of others that I like, or have listened to before. Others like Metallica are just songs that I play and move on.

[Fuckmaxbemis]

Rock BAnd is fun, I'm pretty good at it, I liek the way it looks better, the "instruments" are a lot more developed and though Guitar Hero may have At The Drive-In, the Rock Band store has lots of Weezer, Maximo Park, The Mother Hips, Radiohead, etc.

[ACA]

this thread.. oh boy

[circatbs]

Damn, this reminds me I haven't gotten GHWT yet...

And, when I see a band I enjoy on something like GH or RB, I'm happy for them. It's good for the band and also makes the game more fun because you are playing songs you actually like.

And ATL or WTK wouldn't ever be in Guitar Hero.

[theguy77]

lol all time low on guitar hero. how bad would that suck? (for the game, not the band)

[SanePsychotic]

I like to play songs on GH/RB that are, you know, not so easy to play. Power chords are a no-no, solos are a must. Sutff that I cannot actually play (yet). Otherwise my time would be better spent actually playing guitar. But that's just my crazed way of thinking.
