Are the super special bonus points for smashing instruments in Guitar Hero a scam?
I think it's just a way to make you buy more guitar controllers.

However, I want my Gamer score to be as high as possible.

What do you guys think?

Will be back to check on this thread later after I rock out some more.

4. If you were really serious about playing, you'd have a rack of guitars setup before you played
everytime. You don't see Jimmy Page play without 4 or 5 guitars now do you? :-)

11. Page uses different guitars because he gets different sounds from all of them
I don't think you can do that with Guitar Hero.

Yet.

It's also possible that Page does that just because it looks cool and let's face it: It's impossible to look cool when you're playing a fucking video game.

5. I refer you to this song by John Hiatt
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5begHSoQ1s You don't have to smash the guitar, all you have to do is raise the string end up so the guitar is vertical instead of horizontal. You'll see your corresponding character do AMAZING tricks with the guitar. I have a 14 year old Guitar Hero genius. I can't play for shite. (seriously, listen to the Hiatt song, he's brilliant)

6. These guys think John Hiatt is full of shit
Sure, he's a great songwriter but he doesn't know a damn thing about how to be a Rock God
