Wow there is so much wrong with this post. - Playing in a rock band is not life threatening like being a soldier. - FAIL - Playing football takes athletic talent, years and years of conditioning and learning formations/plays, and on top of that you have to either be in the top 0.001% of players or extremely lucky to play pro. There are currently only 1696 roster spots for the entire NFL. Realizing that you have to compete for a specific position on a team you are basically in a position where you have to be in the top 100 to 150 people in the world at that position to get a job....that is an extremely exclusive club. - FAIL There are good reasons why there is a difference between becoming a Rock Band and being a Soldier or NFL player. I won't say there isn't a lot of effort in learning instruments but at least that is something that anyone can learn...and for the record you can get a good amp/guitar for the price of Rock Band, you don't need a microphone to sing, and the drum set would definitely set you back a fair bit of cash..but buying a drum set is a hell of a lot easier than completing basic training and getting shot at...or joining the NFL off the street. Both of your examples are things a person cannot just decide to do...starting a rock band is something anyone can try to do. And provided they are willing to put in the effort they will have a legitimate shot...not a gaurantee but shot. PS - I agree with your conclusion though, I just think the real answer is that Rock Band is for people who don't want to form a band...they just want to feel like they are in a band when they have free time and go about their lives during the day without having to worry about "the band".
