Ex-The Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman had criticised music video games, said BBC News. In the recent time projects like Guitar Hero or Rock Band are possessing the great popularity among gamers. As Wyman believes they’re distracting children from playing for real on the real music instruments. Quite interesting remark from an old guy who grew up in a totally different time, and possibly cannot understand the fact that such games are actually driving kids into playing music on the real instruments. Meanwhile, the same opinion is shared by the Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason. He has noted that Guitar Hero or Rock Band are interesting games, but it annoys him that children are spending so much time playing them. Mason had also unterlined that if children were spending the same amount of enthusiasm learning how to perform on the real instruments then by now they would become good guitar players. Of course both musicians get to the point, but seriously can these games trully distract from the real music? After all many of these kids will actually start the real music careers with the help of these games, so it’s hard to tell whether they’re getting distracted. It’s not the first time when promiment musicians have decided to criticise video music games. In June, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and the leader of The White Stripes Jack White have shared the same point of view.
