Well, I play guitar, and I always say to those kids who play Guitar Hero on expert, "Great, now play it on a real guitar." I've always enjoyed playing on a real guitar better than playing a video game one, but then again I'm not that good at those games. Which do you guys like better? (Posts would be enjoyed from people who play these games AND a real instrument.)

lol I say that to other kids too, although I can play expert on GH too, I think real stuff is way better and Rockband sucks(just my opinion, don't judge me)

I would probably enjoy playing the real thing more But I don't care enough to learn how so definitely Guitar Hero but not Rock band I played the drums a little before and I really don't like the Rock band drums.

Lol at lige's post. That's funny haha. But yeah, playing the guitar or drums on GH or RB is nothing like playing real drums or a real guitar.

I personally have never done real guitar before, nor drums.

In my opinion Guitar Hero and Rock Band are all out reflexes. The guitar parts are reflexes, the microphone is reflexes, and same with the drums. On a real guitar and drums you don't have to be 100% exact - but you must also memorize the notes and beats. Real guitar and drums are way better - sound real and can make music anyway you want - not what the software gives you.

On another note, Rock Band 2 has 2 different drum sets - an improved Rock Band drum set and an Ion Audio drum set - which can be dubbed as a real world electric drum set - Rock Band drums can now be electric reality ones now =)

Real Guitar & Drums & Bands are better then fake software peripherals.

Well the almost the whole purpose for video games is that you can do what you can't do in real life. Take sports games for example. I personally play guitar and drums and I'm learning bass. I think GH is awesome becuase it actually got people to start picking up instruments after playing Freebird on Expert.

I play guitar hero, rock band, and a real bass guitar. Sure, playing stuff on expert takes skill, and so does playing the same song on a real guitar. They're just different kinds of skill.

So basically, it's "Real Music VS Fake Music." Nice, you can really see this took alot of thought.
