Ian Anderson Of Jethro Tull Wonders Why There is No “Flute Hero” Game
Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland – For the life of him, Jethro Tull frontman Ian Anderson cannot wrap his brain around the fact that no one has developed a Flute Hero video game. “It just doesn’t make any bloody sense,” says Anderson, 62, from atop the flute-shaped tower of his Scottish castle. “They’ve got all these games these days that let kids live out their Rock and Roll fantasies, but they’re not getting the true experience without simulating the most important part!”
Anderson, without question Rock’s most famous flautist, has reason to complain. The majority of rhythm-based games to this point have only focused on background instruments such as guitar, drums, and vocals. Each of these attempts has flirted with greatness but all have ultimately fallen short by neglecting Rock and Roll’s most iconic lead instrument.
“I applaud their efforts at getting more people interested in music, but the real rock experience is only complete with the inclusion of the flute.” Anderson leans back in his throne constructed entirely of woodwinds and strokes his mephistophelian goatee while he waxes about what makes music really rock. “Guitar hero? Ha, don’t make me laugh. Rock Band? How could it possibly be when you’re omitting the one instrument that truly makes a band. Think about it: Can you imagine ‘Living in the Past’ being a hit without the complex melody established by the flute? Or how about ‘Hymn 43′? It might as well be a ballad until the flute kicks in and really shows you how true Rock and Roll is supposed to sound!”
