Open Letter To The Dude Playing Guitar Hero…

Dear Dude In Best Buy Playing Guitar Hero,

I was walking through the store and happened to pass by the section with the video games. I saw you there with your far-too-small guitar strapped around your neck. You were playing some rocking tune, I’m sure. You caught my eye and I could tell, you had one thought on your mind: do I look like a tool with this thing on?

Let me answer that for you: yes. Completely. You look friggin’ ridiculous. Now I’m sure in your head, you feel like Eddie or Slash or hell, even Johnny Reznik from the Goo Goo Dolls.

Eddie Van Halen

Slash

Johnny Reznik

    Trust me, when we play Rock Band, I feel like a complete tool “playing” the guitar.

    Dave: Um, Johnny Reznik of the Goo Goo Dolls.

    PBW: In your home, play all you want. At Best Buy, you might consider the other fifty people around you.
