Yet another reason John Mayer can bite my Guitar-Hero rockin’ ass
John Mayer, I want to like you. I’m not sure why, because I don’t really like many of your songs I think to try to play too bluesy for a baby-faced white boy. And you are currently dating Jennifer Aniston which is smart because she is definitely the hottest of the Friends cast. You seem like a you have a sense of humor. So why you gotta say stuff that would make me un-friend you on Facebook if we happened to be Facebook friends (which we aren’t, because: see above re: don’t like your music.)
John Mayer (aka The Player) doesn’t like the fact that lazy, talentless gamers get to feel like a rock god for a few minutes when they play “Guitar Hero�. John is hating on the game claiming it makes it too easy for people to enjoy the instrument.
The singer claims no game could ever replicate the joy he gets from playing the guitar for real, and urges fans to grab a real axe and learn to play for real. Mayer tells RollingStone.com, “Guitar Hero was devised to bring the guitar-playing experience to the masses without them having to put anything into it. And having done both, there’s nothing like really playing guitar. I mean, what would you rather drive, a Ferrari or one of those amusement-park cars on a track?�
Why you gotta be like that John Mayer? I mean, come on, most of us can’t afford Ferraris and most of us don’t have the time or the talent or the inclination to learn to play guitar. So why not play a game that is music based and lets you pretend to be a rock star for a few minutes at a time? Everyone knows it isn’t at all lke playing a guitar for reals …. in fact, people I know who DO play guitar are the worst at Guitar Hero. HA! I think I figured it out. Because you play the guitar, you must SUCK at Guitar Hero so that’s why you are talkin’ such shit about it. Oh John Mayer, I expected more self-esteem from you. Come on. You have the record contract and the concert tour and the groupies and the repeated mentions on Perez Hilton. There is even a big billboard that I see around town with your giant face looming over me. Don’t worry if you aren’t any good at Guitar Hero. I’m sure you are very talented in other ways. (Like being a douche.)

Great post! I, too, want to like him (and now that he’s dating my girl Jen, I really, really want to like him), and most of the time I do. His comment was kind of out of left field, though. Your point about people who play guitar sucking at Guitar Hero makes perfect sense to me. Take DDR for another example - I’m a dancer, and I suuuuuuck at DDR. I’m like, “Where are the points for turnout? For pointed feet? For . . . ah, never mind, they should put a sign on this thing that says ‘Bunheads not welcome’.”
