Ronin Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I think this is great actually. I don't think they are selling out at all. If anything they are keeping their legacy alive. Embracing new media like this is not a bad thing. As Geddy mentions, the Guitar Hero / Rock Band franchise is a great launching pad for discovering new music. I also think Rush is not getting any younger, and royalties, etc, from these type of things are a way to help fund their later years. Although, I have been a "real" musician in the past (Bass, Keys, some drums, some guitar), these "Rhythm Games" are still fun to play. Some musicians thumb their nose at them, but fun is fun. I have the entire Moving Pictures DLC on Rock Band and drumming along to the songs pretending to be the great Neal Peart is a blast. Finally, these rhythm games are progressing. Rock Band 3 for example has worked with Fender to use a REAL GUITAR. Now you can learn and REALLY play the songs. It's all good IMHO.

By-Tor Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Oh yeah... almost forgot this. I didn't have any idea who Nelly Furtado was but my wife listens to her. She's covering Rush's Time Stand Still (great song btw). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfrXM_gDl9g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Sweet, my wife and just watched it. (Watch it on YouTube in HD 720 resolution for better sound and video). We have her first album somewhere around the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
