Jack Black shares more Brutal Thoughts on roadies

by Andrew Yoon { Sep 18th 2009 at 12:00AM }

Brutal Legend's upcoming Rocktober release is nearly at hand, marking this new episode of "Brutal Thoughts" one of the last. This latest episode feels more phoned in than others, with Jack Black simply talking about roadies, and why they're genetically different from the rest of humanity. Perhaps it's just us, but testicular punchlines (ed: ouch) just don't cut it (ed: ouch, again) with us anymore.

Roadies have big balls...
Play Brutal Legends.

Lol, I can't say I have really liked Jack Black all that much until recently. Possibly because of Brutal Legend?

WINterfang @ Sep 18th 2009 12:13AM

I just want the game to come already.

Alex McKee @ Sep 18th 2009 12:15AM

I see what you did there.

WINterfang @ Sep 18th 2009 12:21AM

Doubt it.

Alex McKee @ Sep 18th 2009 12:44AM

I saw you did nothing. You had a post completely devoid of any sexual innuendo or play on words. Am I right? :P

WINterfang @ Sep 18th 2009 12:51AM

I'm just trying to get some downvotes, trying to lure people asking why, so I can say.

So I don't have to see people talking about this game anymore.

Total misfire btw.

You wanna avoid people discussing this game? Stop visiting this blog, goddammit.

WINterfang @ Sep 18th 2009 4:27PM

Mission Accomplished =D.

I can't wait for this game to bomb.

Frostblade10 @ Sep 18th 2009 12:23AM

Fucking metal.

Anyone notice Jack Black always uses the word "ROCK" instead of "METAL" when it would seem that the word "metal" is more appropriate?

I think he does that so he can appeal to a wider group of people, but I know hes got a metal heart.

Or maybe I'm just so metal that I think about these things. /shrug

METAL IS THE LAW!

WINterfang @ Sep 18th 2009 12:26AM

Metal Rocks.

killdash9 @ Sep 18th 2009 12:35AM

Roadies have big metal rocks?

Richie_Tozier @ Sep 18th 2009 12:54AM

The saw is the law.

Luke @ Sep 18th 2009 2:15AM

The bird is the word.

Tiptup300 @ Sep 18th 2009 3:09AM

I'm more of a blues metal kinda guy, so I think Rock fits better.

Josh L @ Sep 18th 2009 1:55PM

"...rock tried to kill the Metal. BUT THEY FAILED!"

Jawmuncher (PSN & XBL:Jawmuncher) @ Sep 18th 2009 12:34AM

Just played the demo, the game is AMAZING!

Luke @ Sep 18th 2009 12:44AM

What would you compare the game to? I'm not really hyped for this game (IDK why everyone else is), but if it's like other games I've enjoyed, I might take a closer look at it.

FYI: I don't like metal.

[ArchiGamer] @ Sep 18th 2009 12:54AM

@Luke

Really, from what I heard, it's not easily comparable to any other game, and that's why I like. Being made by Tim, helps out too.

Also, I never really liked Metal either, but I'm still buying this game, and will get the demo tomorrow.

Jawmuncher (PSN & XBL:Jawmuncher) @ Sep 18th 2009 1:05AM

@Luke

First off ArchiGamer is right, it's hard to compare it to anything really. Best bet will be to try the demo when it's up on XBL and PSN next week.

As for not like metal, I'm not a huge fan of it either.
Don't get me wrong I don't hate it but i'm not really into music in general.
I'm more of a guy that goes by if I like the song or not rather than genre.

But I have to say the concept of the game, plus the humor, really makes the game something else. Something everyone should try out.

S. Tiger @ Sep 18th 2009 12:43AM

Where's my big guns, Jack Black? I do roadie work (albiet not daily, but it pays well per show), and I have yet to see my guns grow. Shit's exhausting, too.

[ArchiGamer] @ Sep 18th 2009 12:57AM

I'd probably be playing this now if it wasn't for the lack-for-brain employees at my local GameStop.

Sam @ Sep 18th 2009 1:44AM

is it just me or did Eddie Riggs not sound at all like Jack Black in this last trailer? I know Jack blacks voice, I have hours of Tenacious D. I hope they didn't fuck it up with a voice changer.

"I'll probably feel better after i kill some guys"

loved it.

cant wait for the demo.

Frostblade10 @ Sep 18th 2009 3:13AM

Blues metal? The first band that came to mind was Richard Cheese, but after second thought, i would consider that jazz metal. The second that came to mind was Opeth. >:D

Evan_ARRRR @ Sep 18th 2009 6:51AM

Blues metal is like, ah, doom/stoner metal. Stoner metal has a lot of blues influences. Hell, Black Sabbath started off as a blues band. For modern metal bands with the blues sound, check out Electric Wizard (pre-2002 stuff), Iron Monkey, Eyehategod, Weedeater, Goatsnake, Bongzilla, Kyuss, Earthride, and Witch. There are many, many more, but these are my favorites.

Jrinswand @ Sep 18th 2009 9:16AM

Though I've never heard the term "blues metal" used before, if there is any band that could fall into that category, it would be Down, particularly with the song "Learn From This Mistake."

Down are great if, and only if, you can get over Phil Anselmo's giant fucking ego. Honestly, it is Pepper Keenan and Kirk Windstein that make the band for me.
