    I would really like to have a Metallica pin - one of my favorite groups, have all their records, only big name act I’ve seen live in many years, the game itself looks really nice..., game is loads of fun, but,
    - I don’t like music pins as I already have CDs
    - I struggle to get past the tastelessness of electrocuting somebody as a major feature
    - then they play Creeping Death during Sparky multiball - what’s up with that ? - should be Ride the Lightening
    - what’s with that awful hammer - doesn’t look a thing like on Kill ‘em All
    - so much focus on death - coffin, tombstone, Sparky - sure Metallica’s texts are super gloomy, but in my view this game really trivializes Metallica’s message
    - where does the snake come in - except as a little squiggle on the cover of the Black Album...

    on the upside, it seems to be the only music pin where the band was involved (except Alice Cooper), so they seem to like it - who knows, maybe I’ll get one eventually.

    Quoted from Lamprey:

    but I think you might be over thinking it.

    You may be right about that.

    Regarding the hammer, when I type Metallica Hammer of Justice into Google I get a lot of T-shirts with hammers that kind of look like the hammer in the Stern game - probably not a coincidence. No idea if that is an official band image. May be.
