Rock Band: Serious Business

I was channel surfing a few days ago and I came upon this show on MTV, the one thing that is killing this generation. I don't want to rant one MTV because it's not worth it. When I came upon this show I had to watch, for I wanted to make sure it was what I thought was and if I had to kill myself within the day. There was a Rock Band Battle of the Bands. Really? Are you kidding me? Yes, I know MTV helped with Rock Band. That does not mean they have to air a Battle of the Bands as though it was a serious matter. I play Guitar Hero and Rock Band and I'd like to say that I'm pretty decent, I've beaten Expert career on all the games for over 2 years. The thing that annoyed me most about them is that they were getting pretty shitty scores on relatively easy songs to be playing competitively.


Watching people play Rock Band makes me want to jump up in joy!

It has become redundant to call MTV shitty, but this is a new low. People, cheering for people playing plastic instruments on stage. I feel ashamed to say that I play Rock Band. They even got some stupid band training to have a better "stage presence". I enjoy playing Rock Band and it's extremely fun, however there is not much purpose for it to be spectated, much less for it to be televised. I defend Guitar Hero/Rock Band when people claim that it's a waste of time, but after watching this show I can understand how people can think that.

I apologize for ranting, but this really pissed me off.

This annoys me too. I love Rock Band. I also enjoy a good karaoke. But there's a reason you only do those things with friends. I don't care about seeing random people I don't know make asses of themselves. But I guess a lot of people do? Otherwise Reality T.V. wouldn't exist.

As a side note, I want to form a real band just so I can go on stage at a concert and say, "Alright guys, let's play our set on medium tonight, just to be safe."

"I feel ashamed to say that I play Rock Band."

Agreed. The game is fucking awesome, but it does not need to be televised or elevated to the level of anything but a game.

God I hate MTV. It's destroying our youth. Want proof? Two words: The Hills.

Poor MTV. You used to be so cool.

And agreed: Rock Band = fun to play, not fun to watch...unless you are with friends. And quite possibly drunk.
