"Guitar Hero and rhythm games that incorporate plastic instruments, like the other thousands of video games out on the market, make people happy. They were designed to make people happy. So why are they still viewed as “toys for babies?”

But while the most famous moments of Sixx' musical career have revolved around Mötley Crüe's tunes, it is the smaller side project that is today appearing on Rocksmith. Yep, that's right, Sixx:A.M. are here and providing a brand new song pack to the fastest guitar tutor in the West."
Because they look like a preschooler's toy. Press the button, cow go moooooo. Also, playing on a pretend instrument, might have something to do with it.
There were a few attempts to cross this gap, but it's just so much easier to take lessons and learn for realizes.
BTW, watching people up on a music stage at E3 jamming to Guitar Hero (like some kind of live metal cover band) SHOULD be more embarrassing to those performing the act rather than those watching it.
Yeah, I enjoy it myself from time to time. Who cares what anyone thinks? I wouldn't sit there and tell some guy who plays the real guitar that even though he can cover a song relatively well, that he'll never be a rock star. Funny enough, most people who really play in a band never really "get" anywhere with it. SO, in this respect they're no better than someone playing rock band in their parlor LOL! BTW, "Cow go mooo..." You're being a bit insulting and then trying to backpedal because you are probably a mediocre at best guitarist ;P Oh, and see I can put that stupid little wink, tongue sticking out face thing at the end that signifies a backpedal ;P. See! I did it again!
I'm just gonna have to backpedal again. ;P
