Reasons Why Guitar Hero is a Good Thing
1. I have discovered some new songs and bands that I'd never paid attention to before and they are informing my life in meaningful ways.
2. Sustained playing really works the abs and it's way more fun than sit-ups.
3. I can pretend I'm skinny.
4. Practice makes perfect. Always a good lesson to remember.
5. Being forced out of your comfort zone is a good thing. I've discovered that I'm usually better on songs I don't know because I'm not thinking about what I think the song is supposed to do and I am thus able to concentrate on the notes.
6. Hair metal is easier to play than rap.
7. Consequently, I like Metallica better than the Beastie Boys.
8. It still hurts my fingers so I can't play forever which means that it doesn't actually interfere with my life the way other forms of digital crack can. Plus it gets me off my butt.
Man. I am sooooo good at justifing things.

As long as your tiara stays in place.....I live #3.
Did I win a concert ticket for being first...two times now.
Metallica is not hair metal. Hair metal is better.
I am posting twice so as not to be outdone by Rosemary.
It never leaves my head, Rosie.
And yes, concert tickets AND backstage passes.
JP, you are the hardest frakking person to please. I swear.
And we're playing the twofer game over here now, eh?
I want some concert tickets!! And some backstage passes!! And--
Oh, hard to please. I see what you mean. Okay, you can forget about the backstage passes.
You weren't first, JP. Not concert tickets for you.
Plus, if I gave you backstage passes you'd eat all the Cheetos on the craft services table and that would piss me off.
So, should I book my tickets....Seattle? When? And if I get 2 backstage passes I would give one to JP because I am a kissy that way.
I have a musical question. Any suggestions on CD's by Maroon 5...not hair metal but maybe frosted hair.
I wanna see a video of you doing "Ironman" by Black Sabbath.
That would totally rock, man.
And of course, "Barracuda" in honor of your Seattle girls.
Actually, I'm going to be touring Japan, Rosie. Again.
And don't you dare. Didn't you read what I said about the Cheetos?
I think I did nail a Black Sabbath song, Buck. But I don't think that was it.
I own "Barracuda".
I think Rosie should be allowed to give me her spare ticket if she wants to.
I will bring my own Cheetos.
And Heart is still not hair metal. In ways that are very different from how Metallica is not hair metal.
Oh good lord. Fine. You can come backstage.
And please bring with you the JP approved list of Bands That Are Hair Metal Because You Know So Frakking Much.
I can't wait until you make your east coast schedule. I'll be first in line.
Let me handle you European tour kid. We'll make you big over here! Get you dates in Paris, London, Berlin - and may even line up a few concerts too!
The Sabbath was Paranoid But it ihad this awful skipping issue so I could not really enjoy the playing thereof
Ba Ha Ha Ha (Note no w)
Uhh, wha hapen to meaniest mom in world?
Peace
:+}
Anne, you for sure get a backstage pass.
You're on, Willym.
That's right, "Paranoid". I should have tried that today.
She's been replaced by the rockinest mom in the world, Anonyba.
6. Hair metal is easier to play than rap.
Hehe, she said Hair Metal...:)
I actually thought that I had already posted once but apparently I just daydreamed doing so...
Gish, I know. It's humiliating.
And at least you left two comments. Backstage passes for you AND your family.
You know I have been looking for a Wii console since before Christmas. Nothing. After you said you all had one I even checked Cotsco online since we don't have the here. Nothing. I might have to black market cause my daughters birthday is in May lol
OH and thanks for the backstage passes. Id make a hell-of-a-roady. just sayin...
..Hey,..buddy,..want some backstage passes to lorraine's concert?
..I'll throw in some Cheetos.
As crappy as my day has been today I am so happy I stopped by here. I got a good much needed belly laugh from you and all your groupies.
You must video when you get to the primo battle at the end (I won't spoil the surprise in case you haven't seen it yet). Serious fingers-a-flyin'.
Oh, I'm so glad, Sageweb. Proof that even the lamest of blog posts have purpose. (See? Justifying).
Kimberly Ann, OH. MY. YORD. It took me at least 15 tries to beat Lou. It was evil.
Grish, maybe we should get one for you and ship it. I'm serious.
And people, please. You know that Guido's backstage passes are fakes, right?
..I like to think of them as an incredible simulation.
ouch! my finger tips hurt from having to scroll down all those messages.
um, do you need back up dancers for your tour? i'm stretching my limber legs right now!
If I can't get one in the next month or so I might just get Eric to keep an eye open at the store lol
Ok, Guido, for nailing the "incredible simulation" thing, YOU get actual backstage passes and I'll by the damn Cheetoes.
Danny, I'm sure you'd be way hotter than the lame chicks that sometimes dance during my gigs. I didn't even frakking invite them.
Grish, Spouse says those things are wicked hard to come by but we will seriously keep our eyes peeled and I swear, if one comes up we'll snag it and work out the details later.
[slips bucketload of cash to Guido.]
Rosie, look! I've got Cheetos!
Hiya Lorraine.
Have the morning to myself so thought l'd pop by and say hello. Did l walk in on a jamming session or what!
Great to see you're playing the guitar again. Will not be long before your finger tips turn to leather-lol- steel strings sound better though so it's worth it. l haven't played guitar in ages- hubby does it for me.
Can we all pretend to be skinny??
best :)
(shakes head at JP)
(Again)
Oh, Horizon...remember when the W Lovers toured...good times...I've been recreating my days as Winsome Willa but to be fair, it's not the same without the whole band.
Maybe a reunion tour?
