For everyone Million bad ass guitarist, one is famous. I do sound on the side, I see very talented musicians, the guitar doesn't make the song as a whole better, or the singer, nor the right tune. Seems it really is luck or being in the right place at the right time, meeting the right bandmates ETC...

don't believe me, look below. This doesn't include tops, lights, amps, stand, cords etc..

Yeah, GREAT!

Thank your mom from not allowing you to experience the entertainment medium as of today that flourishes with innovation, creativity and constant change and improvement.

Thank your mom from discriminating against an industry that holds some of the most talented artists and most hardworking teams co-operating to provide quality entertainment.

Your music is boring ed, and you seem like the typical suburban brat that knows nothing of creativity and innovation.

You seem to be really angry about this. Why is it a big deal? Video games have many negative effects as well...

Its such an ignorant statement though. Videogames stem mostly from japan, and its a huge and respected part of their culture. And artists who started out as illustrators and painters, also work in the video game industry. 

For his mom, and now himself, to encourage video games as a waste and not important to the entertainment industry, would be like me saying music is a waste of time, if i would chose to focus on becoming a lawyer or whatever.

I don't think that's what he was implying. He mainly meant his mom never let him play video games so that it didn't distract him from practicing the guitar. He did later say that he wanted to play FIFA. 

The implcations within his statements are strong ;--p video games can bring inspiration, ignite creativity in other fields of aet and entertainment.. As i have seen musicians these days actually reference quite strongly. 

The implcation that playing videogames would deter from making good music, and not a valid source of inspiration to draw from is an ignorant thing to believe. His ignorance is particularly strong when citing fifa and gta to be his knowledge of games... 

Well, his music is like fifa to the gaming industry, bland uninspired, basic and boring ;--p 

Holy fuck, the overreactions in this thread are insane!

Given the prevailing tastes of many UK gamers (and of course his own personal success), then yes he's better off :D

I'm outraged! He should have also been stopped from watching TV, seeing films and listening to music. The other forms of entertainment media.
