QUOTE (jer @ Apr 13 2009, 01:32 PM)  Thats the thing. I'm coming from the standpoint of kids. And I dont want my kids pretending to be blowing people away. I'd rather they pretend to be rock guitarists. When I was younger it was tennis rackets. We'd hold tennis rackets like guitars. Or just air guitar to our favorite guitar gods. Now there is something a bit more interactive for those whom are interested. Thats great I think. All the air guitaring in the world didnt make me want to not pursue real guitar. Maybe if I had a chance to play a game like that back in 1985 I'd have done well at it, gained confidence, and tried real guitar sooner?!?!?!? In my opinion anything that takes focus away from games involving killing. There is enough killers in the world. We needn't be training more. But introducing kids to music? Hell yeah!!! Maybe it'll get the schools to see that cutting all the music programs is a bad idea. THERE IS INTEREST!!!!!!! I agree. Compared to other violent games that we are bombarded with GH is a positive thing, similar to Super Mario for example. I don't wanna disrespect the people who play violent games - I played a lot of them myself, but I think GH is definitely something that has more meaning to me then those games. I don't see how GH is comparable to real guitar in any way tho.. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

People don't read anymore, not the classics, do stuff like this instead. It just is real bad. Just because we have more advanced technology today does not make your average person more intelligent than decades past, all statistics and evidence demonstrate it has been the opposite. And physically also. I know for adults to stay in shape takes efforts, but look at kids today. I live on a college campus and have seen the weight gains over the years as they arrive. Years ago about half the young ladies were knock outs on campus. Now all you think is "why would anyone with a belly like that want to show it off". I think the average kid at 18 weighs 20-25 lbs more than years ago, and it is the same in Europe. Not active, not socializing, playing sports with people. I also think more of them end up lacking social skills, very introverted, afraid of anything outside their little closed social group. Because rather than getting out and socializing, which involves active things, they sit in front of terminals and video games instead. Here is something, a very old video from 1972. This was Slade, the original GLAM band, very first one. After the first minute they start showing the audience. Look how thin the ladies are, nearly all of them. Now on campus, maybe 1 in 10 is like that. Why is this a good thing, being inactive, a couch potato, rather than an active person, who maybe reads good books instead? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLsw668PVyY |
