[QUOTE="Cocacolacowboy"]RB and GH rape the soul,creativity,artistic beauty out of music,i would rather much see kids picking up an instrument than play this game...much like how i see ipods as raping music.looking at a computer screen on your' mp3 player isnt the same as holding a 12" record in your hand and looking at the art layout.
but what do i know?.i'm a elitist snob that collects vinyl,and makes noise projects on a 4-track in my basement. )

i would say that's a bit extreme. some people are not good at real instruments, and this is a way to equalize it. would you rather have 3 year olds reading salvador dali and neil gaiman? not everyone is good at playing an instrument and you have to respect that.
and ipods ruining music? they have only made music more accessible to everyone.
if i had a kid,he'd be reading those at age 2!...
but seriously,a guitar isnt THAT hard to learn.the only limit really,is your' imagination,besides you dont have to be frank zappa to play guitar,i mean look at the stooges,black flag,Ramones,and all the Punk/hardcore bands of the 70's and 80's..they played the same three chords over and over,yet made amazing music...like i said the only limit is your creativity and imagination..
and yeah..maybe ipods have brought music to a wider audience and all,but at the same time its also destroying it.one of my favorite record stores in buffalo NY got closed down not too long ago because ofthis crap.
and i dont know about you..but i dont want the future of music resulting in shuffling through songs on a ******* winamp/ipod instead of the beauty of having a record collection,or perhaps going to a record store..holding the album in your hand,as well as socializing with the people there (getting a number off a cute indie/bohemian girl with big boobs busting out of her' flannel shirt)
