Tim Schafer has demoed the Brutal Legend multiplayer at a recent event and it might not be what you expected.

Seeing as though I wasn’t at the event (obviously) I suggest heading over to Kotaku and/or Joystiq and reading their preview.

For those that can’t wait, its after the jumpIt’s and RTS. On a console.

Here is a bit of info about what the multiplayer is (pulled from Kotaku)

Brütal Legend’s multiplayer mode pits various factions from the game against one another in a battle of the bands where the objective is to amass the most fans to create the most units and have the largest stage. Once you’ve got enough of everything, you march your units across the map and capture more resource points fan geysers to wreck the other guy’s base stage.
