Rocking Out: Plastic Guitar Style
When I created my Amazon Wishlist a few weeks back ready for my birthday, I, like any opportunistic cad, added a bunch of different items on there, some of which I never expected a hope in hell to receive.
Well, today I had a coffee catch-up planned with my pal and Firefox / Python-testing super-hero Mikeal Rogers and he presented me with this accessory to rock-and-roll bliss:
Guitar Dork: World Tour.
That’s right metal-fans, it is a full-size authorized replica of a BC Rich Warlock made for Guitar Hero (and Rock Band, and I assume Frets On Fire). It also make me feel that little closer to living out my dreams as Max Cavalera from Sepultura during their 80’s heyday:
Spot the bonus mullet in the photo here.
This is actually perfect timing as I am planning a Guitar Hero competition at the next Ubuntu Developer Summit.
Thankyou so, so, much Mikeal!

To extinguish nonFree software, you must first embrace and extend it.

Jono!,
Please turn away from the fake-plastic-guitar Darkness. Try something less de-masculinizing, like being a Furrie.

A few weeks earlier I decided to stop by VMWorld in San Francisco and ended up spending about an hour playing Guitar Hero with a booth babe.
Rock Band’s better

Now that is bad ass, I just might have to get a console and some guitar hero/rock band.

OMG a BC Rich guitar. I hope you have a real guitar at home. By real I mean not a BC Rich but a Fender or a Gibson
Rock’n roll !

I wish I had friends who gave me presents. And had money to burn.

@Benoit Caccinolo… I detest that comment!
I had a BC Rich for 12 years, a cheapo Warlock and I loved it to bits (after spraying it chrome)
Times change and I love my PRS SE Custom and Omen 7 Gee-tars now.
@Benoit, @Jono: What real guitars do you have??

I could post a picture of me in my underwear playing Rock Band drums now, but I think that would look far less badass =)
(I don’t know how those indie drummers who wear suits manage without dying of heatstroke. they must have really world-class anti-perspirants, too. Where do you go to buy Speed Stick Drummer?)
