I’m certainly no Alex Lifeson on the guitar, but I would be lying if I said I didn’t find it frustrating that after playing “terrestrial” guitar for years I can’t seem to get past the beginning stages of Rock Band. But after watching this hilarious video from the Colbert Report, I feel a little better. Check out Neil Peart, Geddy Lee, and Alex Lifeson stumbling through “Tom Sawyer” on Rock Band. Fantastic!

    I’m not sure I’ve EVER met a ‘real’ guitar player that was also good at rock band…

  2. John says:

    Nice Video. I would rather just play a real guitar myself. There is something for everyone.
    Mike, I should be getting the cd’s back next week. I’ll get a copy to you soon.

    I have some friends in a band and for fun at a Christmas party they played Rock Band to one of their cover songs the perform pretty regular! Needless to say the drummer was better at the guitar!

  4. Sebi says:

    I’m so glad I’m not the only ‘real’ musician being very, very bad at rock band or guitar hero and all those other music games!
