Come Join My Rock Band

The crowd goes wild. I step out on the stage and there is a roar that starts at the front of the crowd and slowly goes all the way to the end of the stadium as each person realises I have entered the arena.

The crowd goes silent as I raise my hand up in the air ready to cast the first cord on my most excellent Gee tar !!!

I bring down that unholy pick to it’s rightful place and as I do a reverb notes vibrates across the crowd and I think a few people actually fainted.

It’s okay…. It’s expected. How could they not in the prescence of my most awsomness power.

Then the hard bit comes. The drums start, the Bass player starts struming along with the Bass Guitarist and then I release into a frenzy of cord rifts that would make Mother Teresa become a groupie.

Red Blue Blue Red Red hold…….. wammy bar, star power, then red red red green green red green blue red red red red blue green green ……..

Yes, That’s right. I’m talking about Guitar Hero and it’s addictive power to make you turn from being an everyday Joe Blow to a rock star so famous, no one will ever see the like of your kind again.

I bought Guitar Hero Metallica that comes with a Signiture Guitar especially made for this game. Then following a few hours of battling it out with Kirk, I then went and got Guitar Hero 3 legends of rock, World Tour and Aerosmith editions and also a second guitar so I can rock on with Mates.

Whats sad is that I have been taken over by my 7 year old Declan who for some reason has channeled the spirit of Chuck Berry and fingers the frets quicker than a punk fingers a politician at a grassroots rally.

But that’s okay, I mean, I want the best for him, even if it is the start of a whirlwind career as a famous rock band member that is plagued with drug abuse, ex wives and 100’s of Fatherless children across the world, well then….. you go Son! You go! (Bless his heart).
