Guitar Hero vs. Guitar Hero

Eddie, Joe, Jimi, Tony, Jimmy, Randy - aah great rock guitar heros. Where are all the 'Guitar Heros' in the music world? There are none. Oh wait....I'll tell you where. In front of the TV. What I can't seem to figure out is why the video game is so popular...why not buy a real guitar and become a real 'Guitar Hero' since there are none. Should be easy right? Ok maybe Slash is still out there since Velvet Revolver put a couple of tunes. But seriously name a true guitar hero now. The video game has taken the nation by storm as well as Rock Band. With the change of the face of music in recent years, guitar solos and guitar heros have become a thing of the past. But every videogamer seems interested in becoming a 'faux' guitar hero. Here's a thought...go to ebay, buy a cheap $50 starter guitar and amp and start becoming your own hero. You could become more famous around the world than in just your neighborhood or school.
