My Guitar Hero III Gibson Guitar: Takes a Lickin’, Keeps on Tickin’

I hate how my webcam make my finger nails look dirty.

When I bought Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, I wasn’t expecting to still have the game today and the very still working Gibson guitar. Albeit the game isn’t that old but, usually something is wrong with the guitar after a year or so. The strum bar gives way, the whammy bar doesn’t wham any more, the fret bar – wait the green button on the fret bar no longer works; or it simply just stop working no matter how many new batteries you buy and botched do-it-yourself fixes you attempt.

This will probably be the most random blog I make on Asilee.com but, I digress. I loved Guitar Hero and stayed a fan until it got dragged through the mud with the many editions that were released last year in one fell swoop; or failed swoop I should say. With decreased sales and Activision milking it till the cow isn’t even slaughterhouse worthy; I can understand why the game is where it’s at; not going anywhere.

In case you’re wondering, no I don’t play Guitar Hero any more. I have much more important things to do with my time. Although occasionally I do get the urge to pop in Guitar Hero III and play ‘The Devil Went Down to Georgia‘ a couple times.

Okay to the point already right? Well this guitar have been kicked, stepped on, rained on, thrown, and almost used as a weapon since I’ve had it. I take good care of my things and the horrible, horrible things mentioned where not because of me. It was because of my ex that also played the game. I was always better than him though, still am.

No telling how long this guitar is going to keep working brand spanking new and I’ve probably jinxed it by bringing it up but, I hope it’s still working in a year or so when I might have time to play again.

I still remember when I first played Guitar Hero and how I was so intimidated by the level of difficulty [I was playing on Easy]. I would get so mad at the game I would cut it off that day and vowed to never play again after that. I always came back though because I’m stubborn as hell. When I started getting perfects on Expert, I thought I was the shit and from the looks of it I was because when Guitar Hero: World Tour came around, getting perfects was so damn easy. The games after Guitar Hero III were insulting but I played them anyway even though they took the thrill and challenging notes away.

Activision I hate what you’ve done to Guitar Hero and some may agree to what I’m about to say but Rock Band 2 was the better game; their highway just sucked.

Well my son is calling me [if you call babbling and drooling on oneself 'calling']. Gotta go.

But before I do, check out this perverted image of me holding the guitar:

Everything is not what it seems.

Bye.
