Like, it used to be one of the biggest franchises. Fucking everyone had some of those games. You couldn't go to a house without seeing a plastic guitar. It was a fun little game that encouraged hanging out together and you even got to listen to songs you like. Then it just kinda died overnight. How did they do that?

      Guitar guys in the mid 2000s were super cringe and that's all they really had. I remember this 14 year old Guns N Roses loving sweep picking enthusiast who went to my school and his personality was dad rock and hating on guitar hero because a video game isn't doing the thing. I skated but saw Tony Hawk games as valid and fun games that had very little to do with skating. Anyway his email address was LedZeppelin_Meatlicca@whatever, it was a funny typo.

      I remember there was also some computer game that was similar to Rock Band but you needed a real guitar because it actually taught you how to play for real.

        There was the free guitar hero clone “Frets on Fire” where you could hold the keyboard sideways and use the F1-F5 keys and space bar to replicate the guitar controller lol
