Who didn’t love Guns 'N Roses when they first exploded in the late eighties? Appetite For Destruction was one of those amazing, soundtrack of your life albums, and it’s hard to believe it’s been over twenty-five years now since it first hit store shelves.
I remember very fondly when Guitar Hero became the hottest video game. It was a great idea, and for a moment it actually helped keep the music business alive.
When Guitar Hero was all the rage, it was certainly a challenging game, but at the same time it also made real guitar playing seem like another challenge you could conquer.
In recent years, there have been a lot of tribute bands popping up, or musicians who dress up just like their rock heroes and play covers of their tunes.
There's a new music game in the works that has a rather ambitious goal in mind: players who master it will be able to transfer their skills to real guitar-playing. It will be the first game of its kind to use a specially created "real" instrument instead of a fake plastic one.
