"Here's another little tidbit for ya, if you whale on guitar (Rock Band)- does that mean you can pickup a real guitar and whale? Nope. Not at all. Completely different skill set. BUT I do believe the drum kit portion of the game does actually help drummers."

I'm only pointing this out because I got some great Moby Dick style imaginations going on. Jack White in a long pea coat having his crew "hoist some shit" and "swab the deck."
Sorry Beardo, I disagree with you.

Plus I equate "wailing" with crying and I equate "whaling" with killing huge mammals. Which would you rather do?
I guess if you played a real sad song you might wail on your guitar. But I would probably boo you or call you a sissy.
