Speaking to MTV, Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger has revealed he thinks young wannabe rock stars are turning to virtual band games rather than learning to play the real thing.

“I feel like there’s not enough rock bands out there, especially when we go on the road,” said Kroeger. “It’s tough to find other bands out there, because either they’re making a record, or they just got done touring. So kids: Start rock bands. Set down the ‘Guitar Hero,’ learn how to play an actual guitar and start a band, because it’s hard to find more bands to put a solid rock-and-roll package together, to get out there. It’s getting harder and harder, but I think we’ve done it.”
