Noel Gallagher A Fan Of Guitar Hero
Video games have become more than a popular pass-time. They’ve become a phenomenon to such an extent that they’ve joined politics, religion and the weather as topics that everyone has an opinion on. Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher has recently chimed in his two cents (well 2p I suppose) on video games. Unsurprisingly he spoke warmly about the popularity of Guitar Hero, saying “if it puts little plastic guitars into kids’ hands and fires their imaginations, I think that’s a good thing. It’s harmless fun, innit.”
The British musician has already criticized violent video games in the past and elaborated further in his interview with MusicRadar: “I’d rather that genre of videogames than somebody getting their f***ing head chopped off with a samurai sword while getting f****d by a goblin up the arse with a laser. Do you know what I mean?” The irony of a person who lived out the stereotypical rock star life- abusing drugs, getting into brawls with fans and generally being a rude loudmoth- criticizing video games for desensitizing kids to crimes is almost too much to bear.
