@XeroTenjin93 I agree with you, People only know half of these bands because of guitar hero. The worse thing ever was to put Dope, In Flame, and Killswitch Engage on GH.

@XeroTenjin93 Are you kidding me? Rock music would have died without Guitar Hero. GUITAR HERO SAVED ROCK MUSIC!!! I am 16 years old and i would be running around listening to modern shit pop if it weren't for Guitar Hero. It introduced me to all these bands and made me that music lover I am today. Try and Google ?Revival By Commercialization? (Also known as the Guitar Hero Effect) and you will know what i mean.

@556678354 First of all, it is a good idea to copy and paste your comment into a program like Microsoft Word and then press F7 to do a spell check before you post your comment so you don?t have any grammar errors in your comment. Doing this will make you sound more intelligent and will make you easier to be taken seriously by other users.

@556678354 Second. TvTropes is not a TV program or a channel. It is a website with serves as a wiki for tropes used in media like TV, movies, books, music, video games m.m. ?Revival By Commercialization? (Also known as the Guitar Hero Effect) is one of these tropes and it is described on their website. Try and google it.

@556678354 Third. I can?t really see how Guitar Hero ?killed any1 who learning how to play a real instrument?. Your statement is wrong unless you are referring to someone who is a guitarist and who got killed by a crazy guy who smashed his face in with a Guitar Hero controller(Don?t think too much about that last statement, I certainly didn?t).

@556678354 Fourth. From TvTropes: [So many songs have found new life after being used in Rock Band and Guitar Hero that it's easier to just say that rock as an entire genre has been revived by these games.] Guitar Hero didn?t kill rock music. IT SAVED ROCK MUSIC!!! So who's comments are most retared. Mine or yours?

@alexhuje bro for 1 i dont need spell check to correct my grammar i can do it on my own i choose not to and what i meant by "TV" was a generalization doesnt matter where u saw/heard it prove it urself before u believe shit and now that ppl can press little plastic buttons and think they played a song no1 bothers to play a real instrument anymore guitar hero didnt save shit those bands would have been just fine without it

556678354 5 dage siden


@556678354 You really need to do spell checks. It?s hard to read your comments without any punctuation and with all the grammar mistakes.

Now that I got that out of the way, IT?S JUST A FUCKING VIDEO GAME!!! It has not and will never replace playing real guitar no matter what.

alexhuje 5 dage siden 2


@556678354 At the end of your comment you said that these bands would do just fine without Guitar Hero. THAT IS A LIE AND YOU KNOW IT! I didn?t know about Dope before playing Guitar Hero 3, but when I played this song on that game I loved it and looked the band up on YouTube and listened to some of their songs. I actually bought No Regrets thanks to Guitar Hero and I have no regrets (LOL) about it, and I am not the only one who has done this.

@556678354 Many rock bands saw a rise in sales after their music was featured in Guitar Hero and rock music was becoming popular again thanks to it. People who liked the games started picking up real guitars and learned how to play them and old albums started selling again.

alexhuje 5 dage siden 2


@556678354 And that?s the story about HOW GUITAR HERO SAVED CRISTMA?. Umm?. I mean HOW GUITAR HERO SAVED ROCK MUSIC!!!

Oh and by the way. You said I didn?t have a proof for my theory. Well you certainly don?t have a proof for your theory, but I have TvTropes to back me up on this. You just pulled all that crap you posted in your last comment out of your ass.

alexhuje 5 dage siden 2


@556678354 Oh and by the way. (Again) When was the last time you played Guitar Hero? If you are going to respond on this comment at all, please tell me??. bro.

alexhuje 5 dage siden 2


@alexhuje well because u personally found 1 band through guitar hero doesnt mean shit and selling copies isnt even remotely what music is about and i said nothing about any theory dont believe everything u hear in some stupid article it could all easily be some made up bullshit

556678354 5 dage siden


@alexhuje i tried it once or twice and i thought it was retarded so i didnt play it

556678354 5 dage siden


@556678354 ...You only played guitar hero once or twice?? Well it is quite obvious that you DON?T KNOT JACK FUCKING SHIT ABOUT THE SUSPECT MATTER THEN NOW DO YOU!!!!!! My god you are a fucking asshole! You are talking shit about a game you barely even played! A game that I and millions of fans love. A? no, THE game that SAVED ROCK MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU SIR ARE THE BIGGEST FUCKING ASSHOLE OF A MAN-WHORE ON THIS ENTIRE PLANET!!!!!!!

@556678354 That or just another fucking troll I spent the last 17 hours discussing a subject that you don?t know shit about with.

By the way, here are some bands/musicians I learned to know through Guitar Hero:

Dope, Metallica, Slipknot, Dead Kennedys, AFI, Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne, Slayer, Kiss, Aerosmith, Guns N? Roses, Nirvana, System of a Down, Van Halen, Eagels, Bon Jovi, Motör Head, Tool, Bullet for my valentine, Rammstein, Iggy Pop, Johnny Cash, Kings of Leon, Blur, Queen, m.m.

@556678354 If you want to respond to this comment like that little ***** you are then you will have to wait until tomorrow to get an answer, although why would you even bother when you clearly already have lost this argument. YOU HAVE ONLY PLAYED GUITAR HERO ONCE! I?m going to bead now. May you go to hell and fuck Satan up his ass.

@alexhuje chill the fuck out bro and the fact that u learned about all those bands from a game is really pathetic ppl like u make music almost not worth it ive seen ppl beat a shit load of those games multiple times i play real guitar and buttons dont make sense to me and the fact that u spent 17 hours on this shit gives me a nice feeling of accomplishment besides i wouldnt have had to even see the game to know that it saving an entire genre that was dead to begin with is bullshit

@alexhuje do something productive with ur life bro its alot more fun

556678354 5 dage siden


@556678354 So you think rock music is dead?

LOOK AROUND YOU!!! People started to pick up old rock music and listen to it because they heard it in Guitar Hero. ROCK IS NOT DEAD!!! But it will die if we don?t do something about it like what Guitar Hero did

It?s a fucking video game! It is not supposed to be realistic. It is supposed to be fun, and it is fun, but you would of course not know that because YOU NEVER PLAYED THE DAMN GAME!!!

@556678354 What the hell is pathetic about learning about bands from video games? Is it not pathetic to learn about bands from movies or TV or the radio? What is your point? Where the hell did you learn about your favorite bands if you didn?t learn it from the media like I did?

I have been to your profile page and it says that you are 24 years old and it also implies that you smoke weed. Pothead.


alexhuje 4 dage siden 2


@556678354 Besides, you where the one who started this entire debate to begin with and no matter how much I try to convince you that rock would have died without Guitar Hero, you are still responding with hostility and I can barely read your comments without any punctuation. It looks like something written by a 13 year old. Besides, the feeling of accomplishment I get from this is even greater than yours because I am actually wining this debate, while you are just trashing a video game I like.

alexhuje 4 dage siden 2


@556678354 I am being more productive than you are (I at least do spell checks) and I don?t have anything better to do right now.

So? Go ahead? Let rock music die? But Guitar Hero tried to save it for the fans sake? But you? would rather want it to die.

Please stop responding. I am getting tired of you. Pothead.

@alexhuje bro ur the 1 making 4 fucking comments for 1 of mine and i actually meant it wasnt dead this keyboard is a piece of crap and im actually 15 i just dug up an old account from an old email and no matter how much i say guitar hero didnt save shit u try to shove the same bullshit down my throat and the fact that u feel accomplishment from saying some stupid shit on youtube is even worse and most of what i listen to now i got from parties friends rocking it and the radio (which is al music)

556678354 4 dage siden


@556678354 Damn. You are only 15 years old and I have been calling you all that? Sorry.

Then, perhaps you are not old enough to truly understand the wonders of music or Guitar Hero.

I do indeed feel ?accomplishment? but I won?t give up before everybody knows about what wonders Guitar Hero has brought upon the music industry and how it saved rock music.

Thanks for telling me how you learned about all this music. But? I wonder where THEY got it from (They got it from Guitar Hero. TROLOLOLOLOL)

@556678354 You do know that YouTube has a 500 letters limit on comments. Besides I am giving constructive criticism and that takes up a lot of space in these comments.

alexhuje 4 dage siden


@alexhuje bro just stfu everything uve said is just going to rot out the minds of any1 unfortunate enough to read it and what ur doing isnt teaching ppl something is forcing ur opinion down there throat and attempting to make them believe the same shit and rock is just a small part of the music i listen to anyway im done this whole video looks like 1 big clusterfuck now

556678354 4 dage siden


@alexhuje, @556678354, both of you shut up

DisturbdMe667 4 dage siden


@556678354 Okay, seriously, you have completely missed the entire point of what a YouTube comment debate is.

I am supposed to give my opinion on subjects like this and ?force my opinion down your throat?. That is what comments are for.

alexhuje 3 dage siden


@556678354 If you look very closely, you can see that the first comment I posted was in response to someone else?s comment and then you responded to it and started the debate, and since you disagree with me and you apparently hate Guitar Hero for no reason what so ever, (you only played it once) I felt that I needed to punch some sense into your brain.

Now that you are apparently getting tired of debating and you are telling me to ?stfu? I think it is time to end this debate.

alexhuje 3 dage siden


@556678354 People need to know about what Guitar Hero has done for the music industry and how many bands it has made popular again and how it has saved rock music, and I am just spreading the word out to the world, so, who do you think everybody is going to believe in? A 15 year old boy who don?t know how to use punctuation? or? Me.

556678354 3 dage siden


@556678354 This IS a debate (look it up on Google) and i do indeed take this seriously.

I've gotta say...

No. Disagree. See, you use the argument from TV Tropes that songs "Found new life" after being used in Guitar Hero.

One song doesn't make an album, and one album doesn't make a genre. See, you can argue that some people will think "Oh. This song is good." and then proceed to buy the album, but in reality, most people will probably either just get that one song from iTunes and ignore the fact that the band has more than one song.

In any case, it hasn't saved rock music. Saving rock music would be putting out something that taught people how to ACTUALLY play guitar, so that new musicians can bring out that style of music. Having people listening to a few songs does not save a genre.
