At least Geddy did fine with his vocals…but the drummer had a really hard time with the plastic percussion kit.

I teach guitar on weekends and you wouldn’t believe how many kids think they can play because they’re “awesome at rockband”.

And a lot of real guitarists suck at guitar hero, too.

US only videos are a major fail in my classroom.

Oh yea,

Even more so when it’s of a Canadian band.

“Rush Sucks At Playing ‘Tom Sawyer’ On Rock Band”

Yeah, and they’d probably suck at playing “Tom Sawyer” on kitchen utensils, on used auto parts, and on toiletries. What’s your point?

Oh, you think that playing a video game is somehow synonymous with having musical talent. How deliciously stupid that is.

“They enjoyed the skit, why can’t you?.”

I enjoyed it too. I was just responding to the asinine headline. Which was the reason I quoted the headline and put it in italics.

That’s a crock. I never saw Rush Limbaugh one time in that video. I’m never coming to this blog again.

# 15 pedro said, on July 26th, 2008 at 9:38 am

#12 glad to see you acknowledge your manias.

# 16 McCullough said, on July 26th, 2008 at 10:33 am

#14. Silly me, I was thinking that too…hell I avoided it because I didnt want to see him.

#14 & 16,

Don’t let the cyber door hit your butts on the way out.

Damn, I was expecting to see pedro’s hero Rush Limbaugh too. This must be pedro’s fault.

# 18 FRAGaLOT said, on July 26th, 2008 at 1:29 pm

woot! thanks for the youtube update! Hopefully viacom won’t pull that one offline. But hey they were playing expert in a game they never played before, so no wonder they failed!

@14 LOL!!!

# 19 GregAllen said, on July 26th, 2008 at 8:05 pm

I don’t know if it means anything the band can’t play their own song on the video game, but it seems like it should.

# 20 pedro said, on July 27th, 2008 at 3:15 am

#19 Those are not real instruments and the way they work has nothing to do with how their real counterparts are played.

So, unless they’ve been going at it for a while with the game, no way they could do it.
