Clearly if you have to try some new music the entire game is horrible.
Just shut up and go play it.
Oh, my best guess to the lack of some obvious bands is simply not having enough money to pay them. Hate to tell you but nowadays Metallica are some greedy bastards with their music rights.

I looooooooove Metallica, but they're not really the same breed as the other metal guys in this (except maybe Motorhead)
Listen this is likely a combination of a lot of things.
1st: Activision. They've already proven to be spoiled children as far Brutal Legend is concerned. So when they shell out the rights to make a Guitar Hero: Metallica game of course they're going to put writing into the contract to make sure other games aren't going to get Metallica anytime soon.
2nd: Metallica. Say what you want about Meallica, but they're successful, and I'm willing to bet the rights to drop their music in your video game does not come cheaply. So if you're trying to make a game and you're already shelling out to Lemmy, Lita Ford, Ozzy, Jack Black to Voice Act, and then have to pay for the rights for some classic metal. Then when you think about how many metal heads feel about Metallica (if you haven't figured out how they feel by reading this thread there is no hope for you)it likely isn't worth the cost when you can put another Sabbath or Judas Priest song in the game.

I've heard that Lemmy Kilmeister had a stipulation - either no Metallica, or no Lemmy. Trust me, Double Fine made the right choice.Madshire said:
Well maybe because they are a bunch of money hording jackasses! Just ask Dave Mustaine and Napster if you need any proof.
Sorry but who do you think you are to "fix" other peoples opinions?Fulax said:
That's possibly the most moronic thing I've seen on these forums.
LOL.Jim Grim said:
Yea, where's the frikin Beach Boys too.
I heard they were going to put in Metallica but the band threatened to have Shafer, Black, and their kids arrested if that happened.
You really aren't getting my point are you? I'm not even a big fan of Avenged Sevenfold, but declaring someone else's opinion is simply "wrong" is the biggest degree in asshole-ism.Fulax said:
No, I really don't understand what your problem is. I was merely expressing my opinion regarding his opinion that Avenged Sevenfold are too awesome to be in Brutal Legend in a more light-hearted fashion that just saying 'you're wrong'.suckmyBR said:
My sincerest apologies. I am a total wanker.
Pardon me for getting confused by you saying you "fixed" someone's opinions I must've been distracted by that stick up my arse.Fulax said:
[/sarcasm] (this is what actually sarcasm looks like.)
If you actually have an article link I'd appreciate it. Metallica is very vocal about their love of Motorhead, so it surprises me that Lemmy would do something like that.300lb. Samoan said:
