Motley’s Music Meets Video Game on Brütal Legend
Motley Crue, along with dozens of other heavy metal bands, is featured on the new action-adventure video game Brütal Legend.
Gamer fans will be treated to a few Crue tracks during the course of play, namely “Dr. Feelgood,” “Kickstart My Heart” and “Live Wire.” “Feelgood” was also used in the first story trailer for the game’s promotion.
Brütal Legend’s soundtrack is a heavy metal collection that spans the musical genre from hair and industrial metal to heavy and doom metal. All 108 tracks were specifically chosen by the game’s creator and developer Tim Schafer, a metal afficionado in his own right.
The game’s plot is the story of Eddie Riggs, voiced by actor/singer Jack Black, a roadie who is sucked into and then stuck in a fantasy world inspired by the artwork of heavy metal album covers. Eddie is the reluctant and unlikely hero battling evil forces to save the humans of this world enslaved by demons.
Brütal Legend is scheduled for release on October 13, 2009, for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Other metal bands featured include Motorhead, Lita Ford, Scorpions, Black Sabbath, Manowar, Anthrax and many more.
