Quoted from Slate:I can understand why they did it now but its still not right.
Reading Brian Johnsons book and if you watch the interview on "That Metal Show" Brian still understands Bon's influence on the band and always encorages references to Bon.
Personally I think Stern's knowledge and understanding of AC/DC and its fans were lacking and they played it safe.
You could put Bon on it and it I bet 100% Brian would approve, I bet he even balked at why Bon was not on it.
I don't think you are quite getting it. The Licensee made the call. Stern had to go with their input on a lot of what went into the pin. Whoever owns the rights has the legal rights to say what goes in or what doesn't go in. It's a business, branding, marketing, legal kinda thing.
