To celebrate the fact that there will be two Guitar Hero performances on the main stage at this year’s Isle of Wight Festival, Activision has re-branded the bronze statue of Hendrix that sits in the grounds of the island’s Dimbola Lodge, turning Jimi’s guitar into the aforementioned video game peripheral. picked by punthe 4 months ago

I think guitar god Hendrix would not have played the game, but would have appreciated how much the game influences the younger generation to get into music. I recently have had a new found love of guitar rock and am really thinking aboot picking up the real deal to learn.

Yeah!?

Well, Chez rhymes with Pez and Pez doesn't taste very good, so this comment doesn't make any sense.

How does that grab you, eh?

lame.....but lameness that I would like to know about....Hendrix played REAL guitars and he played them real well. If playing Guitar Hero taught you how to play guitar it would be alot cooler, but alas it does not.

People don't play Guitar Hero thinking that it'll make them a good guitar player in the same way that people don't play Gran Turismo thinking that it'll make them a good race car driver.

I know, but what if it did teach you how to play.....I actually had a Nintendo game back in the day that you hooked up to a keyboard and it taught you how to play piano....it wouldn't be hard to do.

Ah, I thought you were making a "Guitar Hero players think they're so cool but they can't even play a real guitar" kind of comment. Sorry about that.

Nahhh I used to play the game but quickly grew tired of it.....Now If they had a Oingo Boingo, Devo, Led Zepplin, and Pink Floyd songs I would probably be addicted.
