* The intro video and first 20 minutes of this game are full of awesome. First, an on-stage accident during a concert causes a giant monster to be summoned and Eddie to be dragged to the Age of Metal. Then he fights hooded baddies with a giant axe and a lightning-summoning electric guitar atop a mountain of skulls, then he meets a hot ActionGirl and joins forces with her, then he builds a CoolCar using his roadie skills, then he battles a gigantic tapeworm, and finally he and his female companion escape over a crumbling bridge. It's like Tim Schafer decided to cram as much cool shit as he could in the game's introduction chapter, and he succeeded.
** It's when you pick up the axe that shit begins to get awesome. If you don't immediately pick it up, the bass riff from "[[Music/BlackSabbath Children of the Grave]]" will keep repeating, only adding in the iconic guitar when you ''do'' pick up the axe.
* "Exploited in the Bowels of Hell" has you convincing the Headbangers to rise up against their oppressors by showing them ThePowerOfRock, starting a revolution while "Rock Of Ages" by Music/DefLeppard plays. The best part is the climax of the mission--just when Mittens has been defeated, a bunch of Bouncers come in to deal with Eddie and the Headbangers. What does Eddie do? Recruit every last Headbanger in the mine, using Mittens's headset to blare the Battle Cry all over the mines.
* The entire "Its Raining Death" mission, where you escape Lionwhyte's crumbling palace, all set to "Through The Fire And Flames" by Music/DragonForce. Hell. Yes.
* The BigDamnHeroes moment by [[PlayingWithFire The Baron and his Fire Barons,]] accompanied [[AutobotsRockOut by the shift in the creepy BackgroundMusic to an utterly awesome one during the fight with The Drowning Doom.]]
* Just before the final boss battle, Doviculus makes the mistake of asking Eddie who the ''hell'' he thinks he is.
--> '''Eddie''': I'm a roadie. I clear trash from the stage.
* The final stage battle and following boss fight, where Eddie kills a giant monster (that's made out of a church) by driving his car into its face; and once inside, proceeding to bloodily [[OffWithHisHead decapitate]] BigBad Doviculus to the tune of Music/JudasPriest[='=]s "Painkiller".
--> '''Eddie''': '''[[ChewingTheScenery DECAPITATIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!]]'''
* From the lore video collectibles, more specifically "Song of the Titans":\\
"...A new kind of music was born. It was as ''hard'' and ''heavy'' as the Fire Beast's metallic flesh. It had the ''power'' of his blood, the ''heat'' of his fire, the ''speed'' of his flight, and the mighty ''roar'' of his death cry. But it also had the angelic beauty of Aetulia's song, and a touch of her ''mournful'' wail. Its words told the story of a ''fierce'' and ''noble'' age. It was an anthem of the people, and they called it...\\
'''HEAVY ''METAL'''''."\\
Never before has the description of a music genre sounded so epic.
