The Axe-Man Broketh?: EA Replaces Faulty Guitars

In an interesting scenario, hundreds upon thousands of first-shipment ‘Rock Band’ guitars were losing their licks in mid-game and the Musical Gamer world was rocked. Trust me, not like a hurricane - but more or less like the sound of a thousand angry phone calls all uniting under the same “faulty guitar” banner. How we were supposed to be righteous and tour the globe with our band when our guitarists were having to involuntarily go on hiatus?

I personally didn’t believe it and kind of shrugged it off for awhile until I got that fateful phone-call that was like a manager telling you that your lead singer just got popped for heroin possession. “Oh, hey. Candice? Apparently .. see, the boys were playing your game.. and now the guitars don’t work.”. To which, I replied; “Kill those little bastards.” and to which, SHE replied - “But apparently it’s happening a lot. I’ll bring them back to your place, but you should check into it.”. As I rushed into my living room and scurried to get the machine hooked up, it was apparent to me that it would be horrifically ironic if, for once, my non-gamer chick friend knew something before I did. Had my guitars killed themselves? Turns out, they did.

However, EA, in a move that wasn’t quite expected and usually unheard of, came out and said “Look, we borked the hell out of that first shipment. We get it. Let’s fix it and you know what? If it takes too long - we’ll get you a game. Yeah, that’s us. We want you to keep shredding tasty licks, guys. Totes.”.

Alright, so maybe they didn’t say that — but check out the statement coming directly from EA and if you’re experiencing any issues ( Such as your fret button being non-responsive and such-and-so forth ) then call their phone number or drop them an order there on their website! They’re waiting to hear from you so they can fix their blunder!

Tell them the lead singer to “Bloody Tigol-bitties” sent you.
