"Motley Crue is hair metal, commercial dreck that is about as brutal as Britney Spears.   99% of their songs are about partying and living the rockstar life.  Totally not metal."

Not metal but metal? Awesome.

That was really amazing. That just sold me. I love story driven games, and that seems like one of the most cinematic experiences I've seen.

@topraman517:
The reason Motley Crue is in the game is cause (and Tim Scafer has said this) you're fighting the evil glam rock corporation, so their music will still be in the game, and it'll be treated fairly.
Tim Schafer knows what good metal is... he's mentioned Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Motorhead, etc. all before.

But, it wouldn't make any sense if the Glam Rockers were listening to Ozzy... so they had to throw some of this stuff in the game.  I dunno why it's in the trailer, honestly.... probobly on EA's part there.

Motley Crus is indeed not metal of any form. I have to agree.

Why Motley Crue?  Sorry, I know this is a minor detail for most, but I can't ignore this.  Motley Crue is hair metal, commercial dreck that is about as brutal as Britney Spears.   99% of their songs are about partying and living the rockstar life.  Totally not metal.  Isn't the main villain in this game a glam metal dude?

Anyway, I hope this is just part of EA's marketing.  Part of the reason I was looking forward to this game was because it seemed like a tribute to a genre that, in its purest form, has never been mainstream, whether it be classic, thrash, black, or death.  Of course, realistically such a game would never get the proper financial support.  Regardless, other than being a metal fan I am also a Tim Schafer fan, so as long as this is a good game I can overlook the commercialism.  Jack Black included.  God, I hate his humor.

I'm really hoping this game turns out to be a blast.  I'm not a fan of metal but I can appreciate the somewhat wacky culture it's associated with.  I'm super excited, guys.

Hooray for metal and comedy in a videogame! Finally it comes! I guess I can tolerate the late 80's/early90's tinge.

@Myrmidon: You can be excused for your ignorance on what Americans do or do not know, as you don't live in America. This obviously wasn't created by a man who is into the current death/black/grind scene. In fact, it's made especially enjoyable FOR those that lived through the laughable 80's/90's hair phenomenon for the sake of nostalgia and self-parody. Not the 16 year olds listening to pig squeels and blast beats. You can make that game in 20 years once it falls prey to a new sound.
