Here is the synopsis for “Brutal Legend”:
From the mind of Tim Schafer and Double Fine Productions comes “Brütal Legend”: a third-person action game rich in combat, imagery and storytelling that delivers lighter-flicking fun sure to melt your face clean off.
“Brütal Legend” tells the tale Eddie Riggs: the ultimate roadie. The “roadie’s roadie,” Eddie is the first person anyone calls when they need guitars tuned or stages rigged. With a love for hot rods and a photographic memory for every heavy metal album cover (and the lyrics those albums contained committed to memory), Eddie has always felt out of place (like he should have been born earlier when the music was real).
One night, a stage accident knocks Eddie unconscious. With his blood dripping into the belt buckle he wears (a gift from his father), his blood quenches an ancient thirst. This sucks him into a world that looks very strange yet oddly familiar. It’s a world where every heavy metal album cover and lyric Eddie knows has come to life.
It’s a world where the evil emperor Doviculus and his demon army, The Tainted Coil, have enslaved the last remaining humans. Led by Lars Halford alongside his sister, Lita, and the mysterious Ophelia, the human resistance is far from helpless.
However, what they lack is someone to bring them all together – someone who can organize them and lead them into battle. What they need is a roadie. Under Eddie’s command, this barbaric force of hot rods, Marshall stacks, leather and chrome will bring this ancient world into the age of metal.

heavy metal
It all depends on the artist really. Ozzy Osbourne is pretty cool. I find it funny that you can only understand what him when he sings and no other time really. LOL
That's what I like about metal
Absolute adrenaline—it’s hard not to feel good when the music makes your heart race and gives you the sensation of being the most powerful, awesomest entity in the world.
Heavy Metal
I think the music has a lot of energy and freedom in it!
Heavy Metal
What I like about heavy metal music is that the true vocalists that can be be heard over the instruments have real talent. Ex. Queen’s Freddy Mercury
Brutal Legend
I enjoy heavy metal music for its sexy, demonic rhythms.

Music amd noise is in the ear of the beholder.
Heavy Metal
I love some of it such as KISS. Others not so much. I do like listening to it with my children. We have so much fun trying to dance or just move to it. I don’t know where these people get all their energy from!
I love Metal!!!!!
Especially, Love Maiden….seen them many times rock. Arguably the best touring band musically out there. I’m always amazed by the sheer quality of the musicianship when I see them. They are one band that didn’t stop practicing when they hit the big time. Same can’t be said for Motley Crue. I love their music but as a band they were much better in the 80’s. I guess when all you do is party it eventually grinds you down.
I love your list. They are many of my faves.
annnnnnnnnnnD
It’s all your feeling being released from your heart through the drums and strings
Heavymetal
i love the noise, and the beat. It keeps me up
