I don't understand why you just typed a whole essay when I have in no way bashed the game. The fact that people will tell you they can play Rock Band on expert doesn't even matter! Of course, you'll be considered an internet hero for you know, a few months, but where from there? You end up like all those guys who live in arcades dancing DDR over and over.

As for people playing real instruments, yeah, they're better than you. The fact that you can't get over the difference in real life and virtual reality and how you think you're a Rock Band celebrity doesn't really help your whole slandering of two guys who are just trying to defend their instruments. You honestly sound far more frustrated, or possibly even jealous, about the fact that we can play real instruments. No one "lashed out at video gamers", it's just dumb to even let you think you're Mr. Amazing when you play a set of rubbery, fake drums and a guitar with five buttons that you go back on forth on. No one is threatened by a video game, I promise. I have the game, I love Guitar Hero, Rock Band... pretty much all music games. But when you have the people coming out going, "HEY I'M PLAY ROCK BAND DRUMS ON EXPERT" and someone goes, "Yeah, I play actual drums." and their reply is, "YOU SUCK LOL I PLAY ALL FOUR ROCK BAND DRUMS ON EXPERT", then it gets bit ridiculous, especially from people who don't even play an instrument or understand. I was raised by very musical parents and so I've developed an extreme love for music, instruments, etc. and to see a society where all of this is second place to a simple peripheral is just crazy. But I guess I don't really expect most people to understand when it's all about the Top 40 vocals with lyrics not written by the artist and a beat which is put together using computers and is still not done by the artist. God bless synthesizers.
