The Guitar Hero effect

Ever since playing Guitar Hero 1 at Wozza's house - I have been a bit of a guitar hero addict. I've played through all incarnations (most on expert) and even invested in World Tour. Hell, I even have 80's somewhere! (I don't own the Aerosmith one though, that'd be pure crazy. Ew.) So yeah, picture is painted. Fox likes Guitar Hero. We got it. Moving along...
^Who would'nt like guitar hero?!
So I'm on my way to work, and I notice myself air guitar heroing (it is too a word!) to my ipod. Then, even worse - I notice it's a song that features on Guitar Hero. That's a bit geeky lol. But then the next song comes on. And that too is playable on crappy plastic instruments...
It turns out my ipod actually has a large percentage of songs featured in videogames. I find this funny at first, but then I wonder why. Is it a coincidence? Maybe I have similar (good) musical taste to game developers? But then it hits me.
^Lucky b*tch.
Megadave. After playing 'Deth songs on Guitar Hero 1 & 2, I bought their album 'Rust in Peace'... and well, the rest is tight-pants-wearing bogan history. So here's the proof. I started liking Megadeth AFTER guitar hero. Music-related games have directly and heavily affected my musical taste. I would never have been introduced to Dragon Force, Pantera or Bang Camero. Nor would I have had the pure joy of politically-charged, generally nuclear-themed thrash that is Megadeth. Video games have helped make me the bogan I am today - and for that I thank them!
^I looove guitar hero!

.. i clicked on this blog thinking you might talk about that crazy warpped effect ur eyes get after playing GH for too long.. turns out u just hit 18 lol :P
I have recently come to relise that I detest Guitar hero. After playing through the WT career I'm starting to find it pretty boring. Actually...it bored me about half way through.
hot girls: 5 star.

yeah, GHWT was a bit of a let down set-wise. RB2 bored me too. all those bloody challenges. *SIGH* its much better playing a couple songs you like then going to play another game...
Ghwt had some awesome songs but the filler songs were balls.
but Ive also found some wicked bands thanks to them...and some Id like to never hear again.
I agree - these games are definite 'short burst' games. Its just annoying that short burst games like this take up a whole bunch of real estate in my lounge. Thats the REAL Guitar hero effect....

oh my god some were pure awful. too bad its been like that since gh2, and all music games are like that. beastie boys = painful.
GH2 was completely full of crap. maybe Like 1 or 2 good songs
