It’s always interesting to hang out with teenagers and talk to them about movies and videogames. Talking to my nephews always gives me real insight into what’s hot and what’s not – and they’re the audience that will go back to a film again and again if they loved it, like they did with “The Dark Knight.” They all spend a lot of time texting or playing games. “Guitar Hero” is a very hot game and a kids are anxiously looking forward to “Guitar Hero Metallica” which hits stores this spring. Even musicians are keenly aware of the “cool factor” of having your own videogame. As Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich (age 45) puts it, “My son’s at an age where Dad is dorky”Doing “Guitar Hero” was a no-brainer for the band, Ulrich admits. “It’s very cool on all fronts and a great introduction for both my kids (ages 10 and 7) to music.”
