I personally really like the game, and I don't think innovation has much to do with how much fun it is. How many good RPGs can anyone think of that had virtually no innovation what-so-ever?. Though I would like to try out GF to see which I like more ...
OMG Chromer. GH is not like GF. GF has japanese rock and not everyone has your taste of music. GF only has 3 frets. It's only for those who does not like to move their hand down, but is still fun. All their songs are only 2 minutes songs though.
GH has American rock that most people here in North America likes and are all full versions. It also has 5 frets, which makes it more difficult then GF (or so I assume). They did not steal from Konami and GF. They just want others to feel proud of themselves playing a simulator, feeling like they actually play the guitar. GF is even more unrealistic than GH IMO.
Chromer and angelofthedead, everyone has their own opinions and this game was not meant for people to really play the guitar. It's a fun game and you shouldn't create a thread on how a game sucks. It's like saying how ITG sucks because they stole from DDR and how it is for people who cannot really dance and feel good about themselves.
Chromer, I'm pretty sure Guitar Hero was the first guitar-based rhythm game to be released for a home console. There's something innovative. Guitar Freaks has a home console version for the PS2 as well but I haven't seen it anywhere.
You're complaining that the game has american rock instead of japanese rock. How is that a bad decision on their part? They're selling it to an american/european market, it'd be a bad business decision to cater to the minority of people who'd prefer japanese rock over american rock.
And I seriously doubt GH appeals (at least to a considerable percentage) to people who want to have some kind of an experience of playing the guitar. Everyone I know who has the game bought it because of the concept, or just because of the entertainment, not because they've always wanted to play the guitar and this is how they're going to go around doing it.

I play both Guitar and Guitar Hero, each for entirely different reasons. The person who started this thread is an ass. I'll respect Chromer's opinion, mainly because it deals with the game concept, and not the player.
Guitar Hero music sucks because they are mostly covers, which almost always suck (except Between The Buried And Me's cover of Bicycle Race, which was awesome)
PS: Nevermore is American and the are amazing
Also, Dream Theater is American, and they are even more amazing.
