I never really liked them. In my opinion there are plenty of better bands to consider before Metallica. Especially in the 80's
I've never really liked them at all, doesn't mean they weren't an 80's band
I do however like some of their riffs and solos but bar two songs I dislike most of their work

Note the name - METALlica
Yeah. And?
Aside from their... ahem... "Ktulu" songs I don't think they've so much scratched a bit of metal's surface.

Regardless, I'm in agreement that Dio should have stayed casted... always been FAR more metal than Ozzy...

I never said they weren't and 80's band.

I said there where allot of better Metal bands in the 80's.

I agree though, I don't like their music.

If you want to listen to Metallica while playing the game, just use the XBox media player or PS3 equivalent.
Wait, you can listen to music on the PS3 while playing games?
dont think so, or i still havnt found it yet.

OT: the game still has tons of other great bands in it isnt that enough.
It depends on the game.

Most newer games you just open the Media Crossbar, pick a playlist and play, just like with the 360.

Most older games can't. Something to do with the way the games were made. Same reason some old games don't show the media X bar when you press the PS button.

Because they are just not good enough. You get DragonForce, which while not exactly METAL GODS, they FIT with the epic-ness. You get Motorhead, Priest, Sabbath (Lemmy, Rob, and Ozzy do VA work for the game), which are founding fathers, along with Maiden (no Dickinson :( )

Also about someone who said that Avenged Sevenfold are good metal... They are not metal. And they are everything BUT good.

Now, I would have liked some more Power Metal (Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Wizard and the like), but what can I say? Hell I won't even get the game. Stupid Tim forgetting his PC roots! *shakes fist angrily* Anyone else want to vouch for Brutal Legend on the PC?

Whre did you saw Maiden? I didn't see anything by Iron Maiden.

And Metallica are the largest ever metal band, and I recall Schafer saying he didn't want to put just the most iconist metal songs, but instead stuff that he really likes and get less attention. i.e they could get Megadeth's Countdown to Extinction album, but not Symphony of Destruction? or no Paranoid, Ace of Spades and The Number Of The Beast? Metallica are way too iconic for the metal world to show up.

And to all the little cunts who enjoy beating Metallica fans: you can hate thier music, I don't care, but why hate on the fans? That's just acting like the exact opposite of what metal stands for. Fuck you.

What? No Metallica? That is a bit disappointing but from I've seen of the set list it's not at all bad. Metallica would make it that extra bit more awesome though.

ok, saying that they are too awesome, like avenged sevenfold... that's just dumb. neither of those bands are "too awesome" for anything. more than likely the band didn't want to sell the rights, or demanded too much money for said rights. and while jack black was willing to literally beg for the rights to use zeppelin's Black Dog in School of Rock, he can't be expected to get the rights to every classic rock and metal icon every time he makes a movie or game. I'm pretty sure than James and Lars will be just as rich without being in this game and I'm very sure this game will be just as epic without their contribution.

And why is everyone so freaking obsessed with Avenged Sevenfold? There are countless better guitarists and vocalists out there. And as far as overall sound, try Rev Theory. They are better. Theory of a Deadman, Hinder, Shinedown, Skillet, Demon Hunter, all better than A7X. Yes I am an A7X fan, don't tell me I'm just dissing a band I don't like. And I've listened to them since their earliest album, so yes I appreciate their music, I just don't think they are as amazing as everyone else seems to think. And honestly, they aren't very good live...

Yeah my bad there's no Maiden in. But Eddie Riggs is a shout-out to Eddie the Head and his creator, Derek Riggs.

No. No they are not. That honour has to go to one of Maiden, Priest, Sabbath or Motorhead. They are WELL-KNOWN, they have FANS, but no they are not the largest ever metal band. Maiden aren't big fans of licencing their songs (only a handful have appeared in games), and it's quite possible Ozzy and Lemmy didn't want Paranoid and Ace to show up.

I don't hate Metallica fans. I hate Metallica fans who hate OTHER fans:) But I do dislike emo fans. Gods I loathe emo music and stuff.

maybe beacuse the game is set around like 80s metal rather than newer metal.
Metallica is 80's metal. Wise up.

Anyway they probably didnt add Metallica because Metallica are already well known, whereas I think Tim Schafer wants to show all kinds of Metal and different bands that arent well known.

I would have thought Disposable Heroes or Fight Fire with Fire would have fit well though.

Metallica is overrated. They're not as good as they used to be and have decided that they're ok with this. They coast by with fans that cling to their old records and nostalgia, hoping beyond hope for a new album that rocks like the days of old. Fun fact: It's never going to happen.

DragonForce is pure anus. They suck and can't play anywhere near as well as they'd have you believe. Before you go all annoying "Speed metal!!!!11!" on me, consider that at their live shows, when they drop a note, you'll never notice. At most of their live shows, when they drop a note, it goes straight to MIDI. Most of their songs are actually done on keyboards. Also, they aren't metal. They're annoying.

Avenged Sevenfold is turbo anus. They are everything that is wrong with modern metal. They make their money by slapping a few halfassed biblical passages into a song, allowing fans to go "Gee, these guys are really deep. You can glean actual stories from their lyrics. They're so cool" Lame. Also, they're posers.

OT: Game really needed more Mastodon and Manowar.

Massively Off Topic : There is alot of bitching in this thread, especially aimed at Avenged Sevenfold, which has all been pathetic trolling. If someone loves A7X let them love A7X, they're a decent band with some good songs, better than some but not one of my favourites. But they're not the only ones under fire, alot of aimless negativity for the sake of just having a *****, to establish yourself as some kind of metal savant? Enough of the hate on some decent artists. There are so many better things to hate.

Also using the term posers to apply to a metal band that has been around 10 years is just blatant trolling and/or an exaggerated opinion of your own importance dictating what makes an artist metal. They're metal artists, just because you don't like them doesn't make this untrue.

Maybe, just maybe, because Metallica is not the messiah of music and don't need to be involved in every game that is about music.

I think it's because they wanna focus on more classic metal: Motörhead, Ozzy, the sorts.

Then again I haven't even played the demo soooo
