Has the music industry suffered because of Guitar Hero?
Ever since the release of the first game, the Guitar Hero games have taken the world by storm, seeing a spin off franchise Rock band, clothing, toy figures and its own line of plastic Gibson and Fender guitars. But has these games damaged the music business beyond repair, or re-engergised it?
The charges:
- Less people are picking up Guitar Hero rather than real instruments. While some people have no interest in playing with six strings and stick to their plastic buttons, it has also gotten some people to actually start learning the instruments for themselves. So people who had never given a second thought to picking up a musical instrument are now doing just that. With some 'musos' saying it is stopping people playing guitar might as well claim that about all video games.
- It doesnt compare to actually playing onstage. It may be the nearest thing to playing onstage that some people ever get. Video games give players escapism, allowing them to become fighters, sportsman and now rock stars to. Sure, Guitar hero players might never know the joy of rocking out with guitars onstage, but then, thats there loss.
- It will damage the music industry. When the game was first anounced, the record companies were scared about music sales going down- as usual. But in truth, the exact opposite has happened. Its exposing players to music they may not have heard before, and giving bands more exposure. The new game --Metallica, will see the band go out to a market of video game players who may not have heard the band before. Metallica arent the only ones who have done this, Aerosmith and AC/DC have also plugged their music via videogames, and Van Halens edition will be along shortly.
After real Electric guitars? See these people.
