From a backward perspective, I cannot state more strongly or pathetically; depending on your logic, whether Andrew Katbi and I would ever be in a band. What I can tell you with evidence is that we were completely into music from the time we became roomates and had ‘Guitar Hero 2.’

A Playstation 2 conveniently lent to me by my cousin, and 2 guitar controllers later we were off.

It wasn’t enough to get five star completion of the songs in the game, it required a college and internet try that many wouldn’t believe.

Fifty dollars and ambition later, we had modded our Playstation, as to become the ultimate guitar hero custom machine…

And mod the playstation we did, an infinite quantity of shitty songs that people had, ‘Charted’ as they say.

I would give a shout out to the ‘Stairway to Heaven’ creator, except that it crashed on the solo part….every single time.

This was my, very, very well researched guitar hero tab for The Strokes ‘Heart In a Cage.’

Flashback to 2007.
