So if man is five, then the devil is six...

Yeah, but you usually don't sit on Rock Band guitars.

I should not have laughed at that, but God help me I did.

Also: Trent, I love you.

@John

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what he was going for.

QP:

I'm afraid you are mistaken: fallout boy is as far from "rock" as any band can be.

"If I use anything less than 15 inches for more than an hour I may as well take some Aleve beforehand because I know I'm getting a headache"

... I'm just not even going to say it.

"Huh" as in "huh, what on Earth does this article have to do with an entirely unrelated Apple logo"? Yeah, my thoughts exactly.

"It's Apple's software and they can do whatever they want with it"

Sure, it's Apple's software... No, it's not Apple's MUSIC. The fact that they're preventing the transfer of media which is *not theirs* (even if it's owned by Apple's music division, the fact remains that it was created by the artist, not Apple themselves) simply because it's being done via their own software is absolutely pathetic. How petty can you get?

Gee, those look kinda familiar.

@thisisit,

You know that a good number of people who play these games also play the real instruments in question, right? I can do guitar, bass, and drums (along with mandolin, fiddle, banjo, flute, recorder, and I don't even know what else -- though music games haven't evolved to *that* stage quite yet), but I still love rocking a fake plastic instrument now and then. Music's about transposing when you just can't put it in words, and it feels satisfying to do so -- if some people get that same satisfaction pretending to be rockstars and banging on some plastic drums for a few hours, what's the harm? It's fantasy, dude. What's next, you shouldn't read books but instead go out and reenact the situations in them? I shudder to think of the consequences.

Judging by your apparent hostility on the subject, I'd go so far as to say that you yourself do not actually play an instrument and are instead just looking for a reason to moan. Were you a true musician, you'd understand the concept of letting it all be.
