Guitar Hero III tournament has big prizes, a bigger catch

Morrissey? Emo? When was the last time you were in a Hot Topic? What is this 2004?

hahaha. silly teenagers, eyeliner is for girls.

I hate Hot Topic.

Jimmy Eat World is pretty far off from an emo band.

Jimmy Eat World? Emo? Never even made that connection. Bah, they're still a good band no matter what genre they fall into.

And I've never even seen a hot topic before. I get the feeling that I'm blessed.

I'm surprised Hot Topic of all places would host an event that can technically fall under the category of 'pop'.

It'll be funny though to see the throngs of 'preps' and 'nerds' and 'geeks' crowding a store for GH3 that they would never step foot in otherwise.

The word Emo has become so overused, no one knows what it means no more. When people start putting Jimmy Eat World and Fallout Boys in the same field Chemical Romance and such, you cant' help but wonder if the criteria is "makeup".

Hot Topic sells Nintendo jackets, G.I. Joe T-shirts, and Invader Zim plushies. Fight the system!

well i can't play well on expert yet so this doesn't really apply to me

but what i want to know is how long do i have to wait until i get some journey in my guitar hero

Did you guys just find this contest this morning? Registration for the Chicago ends today. Would have been nice to know about it a little more ahead of time.

Cars as prizes suck. Yes, it's great to win, but you've got to pay taxes on it as though it was income. Although whoever wins this thing will probably have no other income, so it won't be too bad. But still...

they don't even have one in my state, lol

here's to hoping that the person that wins shows up wearing a "Hot Topic is for Douchebags" t shirt

Always remember, hot topic is not punk rock.

Wow, Guitar Hero sold out so hard. I still can't get over the fact they're in a licensing deal with PONTIAC. Because shitty car companies have a lot to do with music.

DONT TALK SHIT ABOUT JIMMY EAT WORLD!

...im not kidding that i was listening to their new album as i read this.

and yes, jimmy eat world was 2nd wave midnineties emo, following fugazi, but that is as stated above, TOTALLY different from what emo is today. emo is not even a style of music anymore, bands that are catagorized as emo often are not similar at all. emo is a style. a trend. not a kind of music. not anymore.

jimmy eat world's first 2 albums were emo, with bleed american and forward being different and the emo tag having been dropped.

and to the one wondering how JEW is considered rock with the lack of guitar solos, you should really listen to them. they have a huge variety of sound, and if you want some cool solos, though nothing to compare to that of van halen, aerosmith, lynyrd skynyrd and the likes, look into their songs "pain," "get it faster(not actually a guitar solo i guess though, since the 2 guitars alternate)," "bleed american," "nothingwrong," and im sure you have heard "the middle." infact, just check out their 2001 album, "Bleed American." its got some rockin tunes and lyrics that give credit to great rock n roll.








sorry about that...i am very passionate about my favorite band.

and i agree, we need some motherfucking JOURNEY in guitar hero.
