Guitar Hero

Everybody knows that technology faces no boundaries, and with it video games are able to transcend the experience of playing, nowadays, games like Guitar Hero are more and more popular, you can see videos on youtube of 7 year-old kids mastering the most difficult songs at their most difficult level.

That kind of practice is being questioned by real musicians of what they are really about.

"It encourages kids not to learn, that's the trouble.... It makes less and less people dedicated to really get down and learn an instrument. I think is a pity so I'm not really keen on that kind of stuff." -- Bill Wyman, The Rolling Stones

"It irritates me having watched my kids do it - if they spent as much time practising the guitar as learning how to press the buttons they'd be damn good by now." -- Nick Mason, Pink Floyd

After first saying there was no way that Led Zeppelin would ever put out a similar version of Rock Band: "Obviously, there have been overtures made to Led Zeppelin, but if you start with the first track on the first album, 'Good Times Bad Times,' and you think of the drum part that John Bonham did there, how many drummers in the world can actually play that, let alone dabble on a Christmas morning?" -- Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin

Of course opinions are the right of each one of us, despite of agreement, but what if someone is not really interested in learning an instrument, but just play the game for the fun of it, what is wrong with that?

Anyways i know a lot of musicians that play the game and still have a good time with it, so it seems that, that is a matter to discuss for a long time.
