wat i cant stand a bout this (and guitarhero) is that, as a REAL musician, i am not really doing anything. On actual drums, which i hav been playing years before rock band, i have much more fun playing these songs than in the game. the game itself is not horrible and i admit sometimes fun

but people who beleive they are getting something musiclly out of this game. especially for drummers, there is more competition between the drummers that are good and REAL, and the ones that think they can drum and have never been behind an actual drum set. some people are spending too much time at a TV/Computer screen and their brains hav turned to mush.

thank you for listening

maybe some people can read this and go out and learn a real instrument and create some real music. bring back the rock of the 90'S!
