![]() ![]() Megan: Sometimes they're a little much for me. Cueball: But there's some great newer stuff too, like Franz Ferdinand, The Donnas, and Audioslave. Megan: Definitely, we need more of those sounds. Some classic rock like Boston, but then of course Queen and Bowie, Joan Jett. Transcript Megan: What kind of music do you listen to? Cueball: Oh, a mix of things. Interestingly, neither Arcade Fire nor Postal Service (mentioned by Megan) are featured in Guitar Hero, so Cueball should not have any knowledge of these bands. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009. Metallica has won 9 Grammy awards and received 23 Grammy nominations. The band was formed in 1981 in Los Angeles, California.

In the title text, Cueball (or possibly Randall) is just hoping for a sequel to Guitar Hero to get more, and newer, conversational material. Guitar Hero is a music rhythm video game developed by Harmonix and published by RedOctane for the Playstation 2. A similar premise was demonstrated in 1859: Sports Knowledge. This is further emphasized when Megan mentions Metallica, a very famous band that mostly everyone can be assumed to have heard of, and Cueball has no clue who they are, because Metallica is not featured in Guitar Hero (at the time of this comic writing). The punchline of this comic is that just by naming bands from the game Guitar Hero, you can sound pretty knowledgeable about music without actually knowing anything about the bands you are naming. Title text: When Guitar Hero 2 comes out I'll have fresh conversational material for MONTHS. ![]()
