Just because they like having fun, does nto make Tenacious D not a band. Dethklok is debatable, since its not like the characters are real. Besides, if any is not a band, its Dragonforce. Most of it is synthisized and pre-recorded. The other two do play real instruments.JimmyBassatti said:Who said it was a game killer?

Monshroud is most likely right, it's a licensing issue. There's a strong chance that the Publishing companies for your beloved Iron Maiden and Metallica were demanding too much money in licensing fees to have their music included in the game. Too bad for them, this game has been a guaranteed purchase for me since it was featured in Game Informer back in November 2007. I don't even own an Xbox 360 yet, and I'm still going to buy the damned game.sturryz said:All the more reason the be mad, you can reference Iron Maiden but you can't include their music?Brnin8 said:Maybe but the main character's name is in homage to EddieMonshroud said:I agree, maybe it was a license issue. I was a bit on the fence about this game, but seeing the track list makes me want to see how all this music is going to be intergrated into the game.sturryz said:No Iron Maiden? WTF?!
Atleast Black Sabbath and Judas Priest are there, not having them is unforgivable.
And WTF no Metallica? If you make a Metal Game, not having Master Of Puppets or Iron Man in it is a FAIL move.
I dont think you are gonna like the game, since you seem to take it too seriously.JimmyBassatti said:On the Tenacious D topic, they don't have fun. They make songs that are full of toilet jokes and genitalia jokes. And yes, Dethklok is characters, but the tv show is just annoying. Dethklok takes what is good about metal, and then makes it bad. And yes, Dragonforce is not a band, I'll agree with that, but I'd rather listen to them other Dethklok and Tenacious D.Kiutu said:Just because they like having fun, does nto make Tenacious D not a band.

Not the songs they are using, those two are genuinely awesome, the songs being Master Exploder, and The Metal. Also, they are bands they just aren't your kind of bands.
