Well, Destructioid confirmed that they cut Dio from Brutal Legend to appease Ozzy. I’m not surprised, just disappointed. I’m not sure how they can make a metal game and cut the Voice of Metal out of the game!
They should have cut Ozzy out before cutting Dio. Ozzy doesn’t seem to be interested in metal anymore, just making lame cell phone commercials.
Somebody needs to break it to Ozzy; BlackBerry phones aren’t metal. And the Samsung Jack commercial just makes me cringe.
All that being said, Tim Curry probably isn’t a bad choice to replace Dio, if they really felt that they had to. I don’t know about now, but he used to have a really good voice. (Speaking as a veteran attendee of midnight showings of Rocky Horror, that movie would not be what it is without him. I know it destroyed his career as a ‘serious actor’. But a legacy is a legacy, and that movie is going down in history as a classic.)
The fact that they compromised what was looking to be one of the coolest video games ever to appease Ozzy’s stupid feud is just lame.
