The track listing for Brutal Legend has been released. You can read the entire list at Metal News.
It appears to be an interesting mix of music, including a decent selection of Ozzy’s work, both with and without the rest of Black Sabbath. There’s also a fair amount of Judas Priest included in the list. The number of Priest and Sabbath songs is pretty much what I expected, when you consider the sizable roles that both Ozzy and Rob Halford play in the game. It’s not surprising that they would both allow their music to be used in the game, since they’re already so involved.
Lita Ford got a song included as well. However, like Ozzy and Halford, she was already involved with providing voice talent for the game. So including Lita’s work isn’t a surprise either.
What’s more surprising is the number of hair metal songs on the list. There’s a fairly large number of Motley Crue songs, as well as songs by Whitesnake, Quiet Riot, Ratt and Skid Row, all of which could be considered hair metal. (Skid Row and Motley Crue probably get a pass on being hair metal for this game, since most of their work tends to be quite heavy by regular hair metal standards.)
And of course, Tenacious D’s The Metal is included. I would have been highly disappointed if this song had been excluded. Not only is it Jack Black’s group, it was pretty much a readily made theme song for the game.
