guitar hero syndrome

A condition caused by playing too much Guitar Hero or Rock Band with short-term and long-term effects. Symptoms include:

1. Temporary visual distortion of everything off-screen, caused by the vertical motion of the game, causing a trippy, disorienting effect

2. Soreness of the wrists and shoulders from extreme strumming and fingering.

3. Having a knowledge of rock and alternative limited only to the songs featured in Guitar Hero.

1. You: "Whoa dude, the floor is totally shifting. I'm tripping balls just from playing Guitar Hero."

Friend: Lolz, it's guitar hero syndrome.

2. "God, my wrists hurt. I shouldn't have played 'Through the Fire and Flames'."

3. Friend: "You know Even Flow by Pearl Jam? That's my favorite band!"

You: "Yeah, but it's only because I played Guitar Hero."

Friend: "Pfff."

Guitar Hero Whore

Someone who, when asked for their favorite band, mentions pretty much only the bands from the guitar hero series. Usually done by people who aren't music savvy when attempting to sound cool.

Me: What are your favorite bands?
Some kid: Oh I love the Scorpions and Ozzy Osbourne and Kiss.
Me: Guitar Hero Whore.

Mandy: "My arm itches, but I can't scratch it because I have to keep playing!"
Claire: "I know how you feel; my nose has been itchy for the last 5 minutes, but there hasn't been a break in my notes. Damn you Guitar Hero itch!"

Guitar Hero ramble

The act of or talking in complete shit, while playing the game Guitar Hero.

While playing the new Guitar Hero 3 game, my friend, Josh Duncan, started shouting Guitar Hero ramble. Which in return made me mad, because i was asking him about Bebo, and the genius that he is answered, "Chicken."
