Guitar Hero- Old News?

Many have dreamed of becoming rock stars when they grow up havent they? Well when guitar hero was released it enabled us to do just that. No more did you have to spend hours trying to learn how to play the guitar when all you had to do is plug in a controller to the Xbox 360 and away you go! Although maybe not as satisfying as a real instrument guitar hero certainly made its mark on the world enabling the people who loved guitar solos and never thought it could be possible to play one to do just that.

There are now many bands out there now who love the game such as ACDC and Metallica and have endorsed the name and even bought out games side by side Guitar Hero to enable their fans to play all of their favourite songs on the game itself.

The release of World Tour also enabled you to form your own band over Xbox Live either choosing to play the guitar, Bass, drums or even sing out to your hearts content with the microphone.

However it is also true to say that many bands absolutely hate the product saying that fans should refuse to buy the product and take up a real instrument. Obviously playing a real intrument is going to be a lot better in the long run than this game but what bands do not seem to get is that people do not have the time, money or skills to actually play.

DJ Hero is on the way for anybody who has always wanted to be a DJ but never had the time or money to do so before. Of course buying all your own DJ equipment and DJ software is expensive and not to mention hard work, could Activision have it right again with this or are they simply going too far?

Of course if you already are a DJ why not purchase some Behringer headphones to make those ears a it safer when you are playing a set.
