As previously mentioned, video games where you play fake instruments are stupid.
But now Metallica has one! Guitar Hero: Metallica will hit shelves March 29th.
Lars Ulrich, Metallica drummer, said "When 'Guitar Hero' came to us in April of last year, we said yes very quickly. It seemed like the next step - a whole other platform for musicians to reach an audience. If we talk about this in five years, I think it will turn into an expected way to release an album."
I hope not. Releasing an album via plastic "wish I could really play" guitar?! Again. No. And ew.
Guitarist Kirk Hammett said "Kids get a feel of what it's like to play a song on guitar without having to learn to play guitar - how cool is that?"
Ummm... not very cool. I know! Let's make sure our kids never actually have to learn to do anything! That way they can all be lazy and obnoxious little punks forever! Sweetness!
