I Got Spanked at Guitar Hero II (!)

I had a private screening of the KFGC movie at a friend's house tonight and he introduced me to the dangerous piece of plastic known as "The Guitar Hero Guitar."

I don't play video games much, but I had seen this thing before and was entranced by the vibrant backgrounds, fun physicality, and just sheer rockinness of this invention.

I thought that my years of musical training would save me. It didn't. I sucked.

I painfully went through a Motley Crue song, followed by G+R's "Sweet Child 'O Mine."

I didn't do bad at that one, and I was certainly excited to see Homestar Runner's TROGDOR in the mix.



I then proceeded to do well on the Police's "Message in a Bottle," and finally did a rockin' encore with Nirvana's "Heart Shaped Box."

I will end this post with the statement that while I do hate rock, I certainly love to rock, and I did with this game. I ROCKED HARD!

It also made me even more desperate to acquire the Hello Kitty Guitar.



But then I would have to learn how to play. And buy, like, 50 Analog Pedals.

And that would be expensive.
