Similar to how Guitar Hero has introduced a lot of older artists and bands to a younger generation or to a demographic that hasn't been exposed to too much hard rock, I believe this game could be the best thing to happen to Metal in years. For example, I am not a huge Metal Head, but the approach this game takes by combining Tim Schafer's hilarity ,the great art concept and the simple fact the Jack Black is featured (as well as more well known artists like Ozzy) means this will attract a lot of attention. And with that attention will come curiosity to what the big deal about Heavy Metal is and after spending time with the game many will find the reason it is so beloved by hearing the great bands everybody talks about blasting in the background.
 
But with the new comers, there is bound to be elites who claim to be the original lovers of the music and and constantly shit on "bandwagon jumpers." This cannot be avoided and I do not look forward to this during online matches, but it's something you have to put up with when you involve online play.
 
Thoughts from any "veteran" metal fans or people who are interested in the game yet weren't a fan of metal before hand.
