Confession: I avoided playing Guitar Hero for close to a year because I was too prideful as an actual guitarist to give it a shot. I'm now addicted to the game. But this post isn't about my amateur-self enjoying Red Octane's highly addictive rhythm title, it's about real rock stars enjoying the game. The Wall Street Journal reports: "Mr. Davis, Korn's lead singer, is part of an unlikely but growing fraternity: Rock stars who are also avid players of Guitar Hero ... From superstars like Korn to up-and-comers, Guitar Hero has quickly become a fixture on tour buses and in recording studios."In addition to Korn, the article mentions Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, country star Rascal Flatts, My Chemical Romance, The Donnas, and Incubus all as active players of the game. When bands are sacrificing studio and tour bus time to play a video game that mimics one enjoying studio and tour bus time, you know you've struck a chord (ba dum bum psh).
