The Black Keys Fan Lounge Forum

I think that allowing their songs to be used in "stuff" is beyond their control. Don't bash on Jack White, it's hazardous for your health

I think they were probably bashing it more cause there are alot of kids now we are good at video games and guitar hero and all of a sudden they think that playing guitar or any other instrument is super easy only to find out its not. Gives alot of people false impressions. But yeah how can you bash it but add songs to it

would you object to tbk on guitar hero or rockband?

I also think the Keys would be more likely to downplay the "high art" nature of their work, as opposed to Jack.

i've been working in music licensing for years and i can say that if he owns any portion of that music (i haven't read the liner notes in a while, but i'm pretty sure he does) he legally had to give permission for use of the music (and collected a chunk of change for it too). he's a hypocrite if he bashes those games.

Actually when Rock Band first came out my nephews got it for xmas and I played it for many hours straight (with them). I thought it was a great concept and I bought a set and played it for a month straight before realizing all the time I just wasted - I could have been playing my REAL guitar...

So I put it up on Craigslist, sold it to some bro-douche-bags and never looked back.

I was pretty good. Not anywhere near as good as those freaks on youtube. I played on hard most of the time.

Here's another little tidbit for ya, if you whale on guitar (Rock Band)- does that mean you can pickup a real guitar and whale? Nope. Not at all. Completely different skill set. BUT I do believe the drum kit portion of the game does actually help drummers.
