I view it as a more active way of listening to music, I also really love making characters in the game and watching them perform. 
 
Or do you view as your really rocking out for real, imagining your self on stage and stuff like that.

One of the reasons I really love Rock band is it's ability to introduce me to a wide variety of music I had never heard of before. Every week new DLC comes, out and whether or not I buy it doesn't really matter because I always at least check it out and learn what it's about. Anyways, that's just one of the many awesome things about Rock Band.

I view it as a rhythm game that didn't sell out -cough-GH-cough-

It's a great music game that has a very awesome stream of DLC and doesn't make a game every 6 months.

It's not really for me, I don't see the fun in them. The only rhythm game for me is EBA.
 
Was RB BORRRRRRRRRRRRRN IN A HURRICANE?

I love Rock Band.  I feel that it is a great way to have fun with friends.  I think the more you get in to it the more fun it is.  One thing I have never really been in to is the whole full combo quest stuff.  I just don't have the desire to perfect songs that way.  I play a great variety of the songs and I don't really memorize them very well.

i view rockband as one of the best party games ever made. You can't have a family party without the RB :P
 
Though i only have 1 guitar so thats the bad thing about having parties in my household :(

The closest I'll ever get to playing Hendrix.

What a coincidence, I'm playing it right now! (Well actually we just finished a set list and we're taking a quick break). I just view it as a great game to play with friends and everyone's working for a common goal instead of against each other so there's no real pressure or animosity created.
 
The only thing I don't really care for is how the Endless setlist crams all the super hard (and more often than not bad-sounding) songs at the end when everyone just wants to get it over with >.> Songs like "Visions" just aren't fun to play for the average player -_- I do like the song by Dream Theater that's like the second-to-last song on the list, but it's like 8 minutes long! Having to play such an crazy long song at the end of 3 hour + set is just like "Please let the hurting stop..." ; ;

"...unless its that aerosmith song about a train...fuck that song "

Through my eyeballs.

It has introduced me to a countless number of music, and really has just encouraged me to start searching for new music on my own will.
 
And yes, I do occasionally like to fantasize my little fake avatar guy actually wrote the songs he plays.

It's a fantastically fun and active game, and one of the greatest party games of all time. 
 
 
And it makes me feel like I can actually play the drums, which is awesome.

As a great, fun game that I really enjoy playing. Same goes for GH, but RB is the preferred choice of the two.

I'm not into the whole plastic instrument thing (sorry, just not my thing).  If I can do something in real life I'd rather do it in real life, I mean the Beatles Rock Band looks cool and all being a huge Beatles fan, but I can already play almost every Beatles song on a real guitar.

I view it as a fun game to play with friends and family. I also discovered some new bands from it and Guitar Hero. I also view it as a way to mess up my fingers if I play it for too long.

I don't like it when people take Rock Band too seriously.  I never play Rock Band for the high score or to see if I can get 5-stars, I play it simply to have fun.  It's fun to imagine you're on stage, but it's not like I'm thinking I'm as good as a real guitarist, or even caring if I'm as good... I just simply like to fake like I'm in a band, since I'll probobly never be in a real band, and with Rock Band, that's what I do.

Rock Band, Guitar Hero and the Wii are a blight on the video game industry. I cant wait for their respective fads to get over and their owners to stop peddling their crap to the brainwashed masses.

I view it as a rhythm game. More expensive iteration of DDR and the like.
 
Not a very high standard of gaming, let's put it that way...
