Guitar Hero?
A "hero" is defined as one who saves another's life. They should called the game "Guitar Idol," because that's what it really is. The appeal of Guitar Hero is to teenagers... to instantly make them into gods... a virtual experience... with fans screaming and adoring them on stage... living the moment... playing the part... while being mesmerized by the Devil's music. The deplorable Rock band Foreigner has a song titled, Juke Box Hero, which appeals to the desire of youth who have "stars in their eyes" to become a Rock star. The hardcore Satanic band, AC/DC, has a song titled, It's A Long Way To The Top If You Wanna Rock And Roll. Over and over throughout the Rock music archives, we find a common theme of desiring to "make it to the top" and to become a "Rock star." This is self-idolatry.
Rock music is a highly contagious spiritual disease that rots the soul. It is more deadly than Bubonic Plague. Young people who are exposed to Rock and Roll are captivated by it's alluring effect, not fully realizing it's dangers. Rock 'N' Roll goes far beyond being mere music—it is rebellion against God, a vile lifestyle, a pattern of liberal thought, a tool of the New World Order, a weapon of Communism, a road to sexual immorality, a life of selfishness, and a path to damnation.
Honestly speaking, there are NO "heroes" in the Rock 'N' Roll business, only fools.

"A "hero" is defined as one who saves another's life."
"1. a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.
NOPE. A hero is somebody with distinuished ability who is admired by others.
Like how Cartman thinks Hitler was a hero.
Contrast: An hero.
OMG, i laughed my ass off at this one. seriously, the deplorable rock band...FOREIGNER?!?!?!?!? HAHAHAHAHA.
BTW, Emperor isn't just a very talented bunch of musicians, but Ihsan is a very intelligent person. but i seriously think some of the philosophical points he posits would be waaaayyy too hard for this guy to comprehend.
In my Catholic high school days, we had a priest too scared of us to be bothered teaching theology, so he just showed us hours of HELL'S BELLS, some fundie born-again series on how everything -- absolutely everything, including Sinatra and Elvis -- are evil.
Great comedy.

Not to mention the Destroyer of Little Kittens.
My god! Won't someone think of the kittens?!?!

I think you're giving rock music way too much credit. This sounds like the Bill Gothard bull$hit I grew up with.
Hey, Foreigner is fucking awesome, and so is Juke Box Hero. STFU.
Also, lol@ "hardcore Satanic band AC/DC." What about Dimmu Borgir or Gwar?
Also, GOD FORBID CHILDREN SHOULD HAVE ANY DREAMS AT ALL!
Oh please, it's just a game - a great one at that. I'm not a teenager, but a mother of 3 teenagers. The reason I like it is because of all the great music like Foreigner, Boston, Aerosmith, Foghat that I listened to when I was thier age.
Instead of being paranoid about everything, why don't just enjoy your kids and play with them once in awhile.
You just don't want to admit that you suck at the game.
Also, you can't defeat the metal, so don't even try.
Fail. Hero is a Greek word, originally meaning someone who was half human and half god. Like Hercules, with a human mother and god father, Zeus.
So, at best, it's only blasphemy to people who think Zeus is magic. You Jesus-folks can fuck off, this doesn't concern you.
"The hardcore Satanic band, AC/DC" -
Wow, you clearly have an encyclopedic knowledge of rock music, asshole. Guitar Hero is just a game. Grow the fuck up.
Hero - a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. - dictionary.com
Therefore, you're entire argument sucks.
Boy, I'm waiting for the day when they have a death metal GH game... Wumpscut, Dethklok, Anubis... any others people can think of?

More deadly than Bubonic Plague ? Seriously?
More than a third of the population of Europe have died because of guitar solos? The backbeat has depopulated villages across swathes of Britain? Huge pits are being dug to contain the victims of the bassline?
AC/DC? satanic? HARDCORE??! What about Slayer, Anal Cunt, Mayhem, Eyehategod, Burn the Priest, Lamb of God, Cradle of Filth and thousands of black, death, thrash and doom metal bands? You know nothing of metal...
it is rebellion against God, a vile lifestyle, a pattern of liberal thought, a tool of the New World Order, a weapon of Communism, a road to sexual immorality, a life of selfishness, and a path to damnation.
All that, and it has a good beat, too.
...we find a common theme of desiring to "make it to the top" and to become a "Rock star."
Yeah, being rich and famous, and being lusted after by hordes of hot chicks is a total buzz kill. I spend so much of my day working against any chance that I'll become talented, wealthy, and loved by millions of people.
Something as greedily capitalist as the rock industry is communist? Does Not Compute.
"Hero" used to mean "Son of a god by a mortal woman" in the case of ancient Greek mythology.
"Hero" means "protagonist" in literature.
I guess it means "admired figure" in the cases you site. Yes, a vain, overblown-sounding word in the context, but that's all.
"The hardcore Satanic band, AC/DC"
If you think AC/DC is "hardcore", you've got a lot to learn.
"a road to sexual immorality"
This must be the only thing in your whole post that has some basis"
AC/DC is hardcore Satanic? I thought they were just metal. And shit I wonder how you feel about Mortiis, Cannibal Corpse, Gwar, etc. Strange that rock music is nothing more than music. And some great music too

...OH SHI-
I guess you can't really say anything now.
Yes, that is a real game.
I'm wondering how long until Rapture Ready or someone else decides the game "Isn't Christian Enough."
"A "hero" is defined as one who saves another's life."
"Honestly speaking, there are NO "heroes" in the Rock 'N' Roll business, only fools."
I went through a very hard time a while back. Like, severe depression and anxiety sort of stuff. You know what got me through it? Not family, not religion. Music. I listened to music, and heard those lyrics about how life is hard but you've got to keep going. How some people might hurt you but there are always people that care. So, I do believe you are wrong. Music very well may have saved my life, and so the members of those bands deserve the title of "hero".
Eat me, David J. Stewart....
listen u David J. Stewart, u are a lier and thief of god so get over it you dont belong in christiantiy i don't consider myself to be a christian but i am a true follower of my lord and savior christ i dont agree with the law crap i got saved by grace and not the law the law cannot save us from sin i dont agree with anything u say your a lier
That's why listen to Rock n Roll, Metal and Punk! Because we like the music and you morons don't like it!
And if you call AC/DC satanic again, I'll call Angus and let him know about you. He may be 5 feet tall, but he can kick your ass!
Being good on the guitar is a skill, being amazing on it is talent
We respect talent. Part of a "Hero" definition is: Respected and admired by others. Many were heroes without witnessing the events. Rock stars are well exposed and a damn site more talented inventive.
Often, rock gods exceed priests in education and morality
Someone show this guy Disgaea. He'd probably shit himself at the massive amounts of EVIL OVERTONES.
Even though the demons in Disgaea usually do stuff like ring doorbells and lick the inside of their yogurt lids.
"The 'hardcore Satanic band', AC/DC"?!?
(Rat nearly busts his guts laughing.)
Shit, AC/DC isn't even in the "only Satanic on stage so that fans buy more albums" category. If he'd mentioned Slayer or, hell, even Black Sabbath, I'd not be wiping Mountain Dew off my monitor right now. I would pay to watch Davey-boy's reaction to someone playing some Deicide for him.
The deplorable rock band Foreigner also had a song entitled "I Want To Know What Love Is." I sure hope they don't ask Stewart, if they haven't figured it out yet.
Bubonic fucking Plague, indeed.
Oh, noooo! We can't have liberal thought? Beware us of people who think for themselves!
Rock and roll is a weapon of Communism? Yeah, that part about selling lots of albums and merchandise is such a big element in Marx' Manifesto!
Where are the records of these 75+ million people who have died from Rock and Roll?
...You do know Jesus was a liberal who hung out with twelve dudes and a hooker, and that he provided free health care and insisted that one should love thy neighbor as thyself and love God as thee lovest thy neighbor, don't you?
His entrance to Jerusalem on an ass was pretty much a rock star entrance, too, given folks were spreading a "palm carpet" out for him.
Jus' sayin'.
You know what? This website should start a Hall of Fame for people who have been quoted here a lot, with links going to archives of all of their quotes. It could be a showcase of the craziest of the crazy. What do you think, mods?
"Honestly speaking, there are NO "heroes" in the Rock 'N' Roll business, only fools."
...so sayeth the Steel Guitar -playing saved righteous Christian, who doesn't have a criminal record for child sex offences:

No Davey-boy, you are the fools, as the Christian Mr. T would say.
And then David was a thrice-damned hypocrite sinner, condemned to Hell .
Look, why can't you just admit you're just mad at there not being a "K-ON!"-related trackpack for "Guitar Hero"? Because you can't fap to Azu-nyan, amirite?! At least the mangaka of "Berserk", Keitaro Miura, admits to having an addiction to "Idolm@ster" on the Xbox 360. [/hyper-sarcasm]
Seriously? Seriously?! Rock music?! That's out of date even by fundamentalist standards. Is he seriously trotting out the "rock music is the devil argument", because he might as well bring back the "waltz is the devil" argument" (and yes, that argument did exist for a time).
There are no real heroes on the teen-targeting Disney Channel shows, but you seem to spend a fair amount of time watching those!
But then, maybe its not heroes you are hoping to see on those shows.
Give it up, Davey. You're out of your depth on rock.
Just retreat to your comfort zone -- pre-teen girls.
Fuckin' perv!
1. It's a game. We won our court case. Shut up.@Anon-e-moose
There is also the joke that blows this away, from the movie Airheads:
"Who rocks harder, Lemmy or God?"
Ummmm, Lemmy?
"Trick question. Lemmy is God"
''to instantly make them into gods... a virtual experience... with fans screaming and adoring them on stage...''
*gasp* Eureka! I've had an epiphany! (lightbulb magically appears over my head) I know why David J. Stewart hates Communism so much! He's probably rich and hates the idea of sharing his wealth! He wants to keep it all to himself...the selfish pig! (I apologize to any literal pigs-I really shouldn't compare that a-hole to you!)
What the?! Okay, you can take my Stones, you take my Dylan, you can take my Cheap Trick, you can take my Ramones, you can Journey, you can even take my Bread. But you will not take my Foreigner!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
