Oasis' Noel Gallagher said WHAT about video games?

In a new interview with Noel Gallagher, Guitar World writer Joe Bosso posed this question to the Oasis guitarist:
GW What do you think of the Guitar Hero and Rock Band games?
In typical Gallagher fashion, his answer was of the no-holds-barred variety:
GALLAGHER If they put little plastic guitars into kids’ hands and helps fire their imaginations, I think that’s a good thing. I guess it’s harmless fun, isn’t it? I’d rather that genre of video game than somebody getting their fucking head chopped off with a Samurai sword while getting fucked up the ass by a goblin with a laser. Do you know what I mean? [laughs] Try looking that up on a web site. But like I said, if it gets kids interested in playing the guitar…wow! It’s better than trying to behead aliens.
Watch for the complete interview with Noel Gallagher to appear in the January 2009 issue of Guitar World, on sale Nov. 17!

I agree.
But I'm a teacher and I've yet to see a single student move on to playing real guitar. If anything, the game provides the kids a FALSE sense of creating music--satisfying their need to accomplish something...without actually accomplishing anything.
Just my observation.

Maybe so but is everyone who plays Call of Duty supposed to go out and join the military. I just don't understand why there is this idea out there that "Kids should just pick up a real guitar", that would be great but it has nothing to do with Guitar hero in my opinion. It's a video game, it's just supposed to be fun.
