METALLIGENCE

[Funeral Tormentor]

I saw this in thursdays drum media mag

"Who would have thunk it that the highest number of pre orders for Guitar Hero: Metallica in JB HiFi stores in Australia would have come from our very own Rockingham!? Seems though the traditional 'don't care' strain of bogans has evolved into the clever, pre-planning breed of bogans. This could be dangerous.

[Stormrider]

yeh saw that myself... pretty funny

[Mago_Haydz]

speaking of which, everyone I know that owns/played it reckons its fucking awesome and by far the best GH. Of course, my entire demographical study has been 100% metalheads, so not a huge surprise.

[Merlok]

i still continue to REFUSE to play this game.

i like to play along to the tunes on my real guitar while my mates fiddle with their plastic cut out like someone with parkinson disease having an epileptic fit

real > Fake

definitely man, I totally agree. I only play it because my mum got it for me for my birthday. GH World Tour that is. I dont play real guitar, so this is good enough for now. I'll learn one day maybe.... we'll see

Agreed sir.

I play guitar hero whenever im at someone elses house ill never spend money on it i play it for like a day then get bored.

i just hope it inspires kids to actually go out and learn guitar when the novelty of pressing coloured buttons gets old and if anyone can complete 1 song on Expert don't you think all that time and hard efforts and brain power could of gone into actually learning the song for real.

[Nosaj]

I have never played guitar hero. Why would I want to when I can play the real thing?

It's more about having a laugh at a party than anything else. I'm pretty useless at it, and would never dream of getting the game myself, but it can be good fun with a group of people, same as Sing Start and such. Just an expensive party game.

[Harlequin Forest]

I've got it all in my lounge room, drum kit, two guitars and mic with GH 3, World Tour and Metallica. Sure, its nothing like the real thing (though the sticking patterns for the drums are often very similair), but what it is is fun, nothing more. XKCD said it best with this.

[Mago_Haydz]

I decided today that I am going to finally learn how to play guitar (the real kind). Gunna borrow a mates spare axe (crappy strat copy) and get practicing and if I get good enough, will treat myself to buying his BC Rich Mockingbird NJ Series neck thru - gorgeous axe!



or his Jackson Kelly (one of 3 - obviously not his KE2)

haha I can't help but think of 2 and a half men looking at that pic.
speaking of which Melkor no longer reminds me of Alan. On tonights episode I saw Judiths and Candy lawyer. And he has more of a resemblance to Melkor than Alan does.

I don't see why when Guitar Hero is mentioned why everyone has to jump all over it and say it isn't real guitar. Of course it isn't real guitar, it's a video game, it's not meant to be realistic. It's meant to be easily accessible and fun. It achieves both.

[Funeral Tormentor]

I too refuse to play this game
reason 1. Its fake
reason 2. its Metallica!
reason 3. its Metallica!!
reason 4. its fucking Metallica!!!
reason 5. i fucking hate Metallica!!!!
need i go on...

bingo! thats exactly the point. Like playing a racing game - even if you have a wheel and pedals, its not meant to be like you're driving a real car, otherwise you would need a licence to play the game.

[erecshyrinol]

lol, I am decent at guitar hero and I play real guitar. It's just a video game, not meant to be the real thing. Though the closest you'll get to the real thing is the drumkit(damn thing is a little flimsy though, especially the kick pedal). It's a good party game when you and your mates are drunk and is just plain old good fun.

You'll realize that it's actually pretty hard on expert difficulty even for "real" guitarists. I know I don't see many people boasting about guitar hero when they don't actually play real guitar, as far as I know I think it's alot more fun and more interesting, exposes people to decent music instead of people prancing around on a "dance pad" playing Dance Dance Revolution. Now, THAT was bullshit.

I agree with points 2 through 5. Hence why I stick to Guitar Hero 3 with classy bands like Rolling Stones, Slayer and er... No Doubt.

[ded]

I just got GHWT and it's nothing but retardedly awesome fun.  I have, however, made a point of telling all my elitist guitar playing friends that I am shredding the shit up with 3 fingers on easy.  I love furious guitarists.

Classic!

well no matter what happens, you cant be worse than Lars

HAIL

[Gringo]

I find it funny that Trapped Under Ice on expert you're actually doing more than what Lars is (kick drum hits are twice as fast)

[Metallifux]

just got GH Metallica and an extra kick for Expert plus and my freaking snare pads fucked!

[Harlequin Forest]

Where did you get your extra kick pedal? EB were giving them out if you pre-ordered but I missed out. Also whats wrong with your snare, is it not responsive? If so, go to activisions website and try to find something about guitar hero warranties. Just enter your details and they'll post you a midi to usb cable so you can hook your drums up to a PC, download some software and you can tune their responsiveness. I went from hardly been able to play songs on medium (which I found strange considering I play actual drums) to 5 starring songs on expert.

[Funeral Tormentor]

hmm problem.... if you play GH crudallica dont you have to up stroke on the guitar to play it? isnt ALL crudallica ALL down stroking?? Guitar and themselvs!

[Damo]

I find it funny that Trapped Under Ice on expert you're actually doing more than what Lars is (kick drum hits are twice as fast)

Man, there is a lot going on in with the feet in that song, with lots of fast double kick that you cant easily hear in the recording.

And go on people, bag out Metallica as much as you like, but theire first four albums were life-changing for me (and millions of other metalheads, btw) so this is one bandwagon I wont be jumping on. Master of Puppets is a killer album, even by todays standards.

here here Damo! Im sick of people ripping on Metallica just because they changed their style and "sold out". Sure, I'll admit that they have sold out, but dont you think they have the right to? They did their part for the rise of metal, and if it wasnt for them, half the bands you cunts listen to today wouldnt exist.... even the ones that say Metallica suck. Have some respect.

[whammy]

...yeah true I am a cunt, and Justice is a forkin great album. Lars still sucks though

[nihilist]

I don't hate Metallica because they sold out, I hate Metallica because they're fucking awful.

I've hated them since 1982, that's right, since before I was born. Now that takes skill.

Haydz is right - you do hate so many things that your opinion seems somewhat invalid. However, your grammar is impecable. It's a give and take world.

[nihilist]

I love many things.. beer, bongs, boobs, b...xbox.

Despite your compliment World Maggot, I feel compelled to point out the word is spelt "impeccable".

Thats the first sensible thing i have ever seen you write.  Well, that doesn't involve demons and whores anyway. 

Its good if you want to learn colours good fuckin!!  And the day i can buy matching Gibsons and convince my non-musical friends to get wasted play Thunderhorse over and over again will be the day i throw out guitar hero.

[nihilist]

...demons? The fuck are you on about?

I've tried that.  Wasn't really all that fun.  Maybe because it took a few tries.  I half assed it at first, then three-quarter assed it, and realised i was only getting three-quarters the punishment with none of the pay-off.  My mate gave it a shot.  Failed, since he angled it wrong and caught the edge fucking himself up.  I learnt from his mistake and 3 time's a charm.   It was for an old kung-fu film we made back in high school, i think i still have it on VHS somewhere...

[Mel]

  I learnt from his mistake ...

...I think the mistake was not trying it on someone else

the trick is to ripout the inside of the guitar ie:the strong backs and bits that make it structrually strong. then it should just be the thin piece of wood at the back. piece a piss.
im guessing thats what the wrestlers used to do, it used to break so easy.
