Yes it's an anecdote! Were you expecting original research in a Slashdot comment?
99% of the people playing this game STILL can't really play a guitar
Unfortunatly the greatest guitar game of all time is missing one of the greatest, if not THE greatest Aussie ever to play the guitar, Angus Young.
I hear they tried doing an AC/DC Guitar Hero track where the player performs as Malcom young, but they found that it was too easy to get a perfect score by just going "chunka chunka" on eighth notes for 3 minutes straight.
GUITAR NERO!
