IF, and only IF one of these two bands were a pin theme, which would you prefer? Assume gameplay is equal on both.

Musically i don't really care for any of them, but would say Butthole Surfers is the better of the three.
And just the name Butthole Surfers sounds like a fun theme for a pin

Quoted from extraballingtmc:Love the crue and I really feel their music and image is much better than rush for pinball.

Crue would be cool only if they use current pics
be fun to have one pin with a guy fatter than Axl Rose
Definitely Rush - think of the modes!
But I’d be down for Crue too. The surfers? Great band but not for a pin
Quoted from Beechwood:And what about Rush?
Legendary. Perfect for any listening occasion.
Quoted from Beechwood:I know Rush has a dedicated fan base, and I do like their stuff now and then. But... are they more popular than Motley Crue?
Hard to say - Crue has sold more than twice as many albums (100 million vs 40 million) but the last Rush tour sold FAR more tickets. I’d say the question is: whose fan base is more reliable / dedicated. It’s Rush by a mile

Not even close, and I’m not a big Crue fan. They have books, mini series based on them and another new one coming out. They are vastly more popular and relevant then Rush.
Quoted from Jaybird815:They are vastly more popular and relevant then Rush.
Motley Crue. Relevant. Ahahaha!
Need a hit? Cover. Ask ugly kid joe. Hobby Needs a cover pin: Joan Jett crimson & clover shaker revurb mode, Camper van Beethoven matchstick men drops, Elvis everything 2x, delta blues reverse flipper rip off, sampling multiball wizard mode!
Quoted from skink91:Motley Crue. Relevant. Ahahaha!
Found this in my 18 yr olds library, she said who’d fuck is Rush?

They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche

Rush has such an enormously dedicated, niche fanbase. They have always been ripped on and criticized as a dorky prog, pseudo-intellectual rock band. But they also have a very hip fanbase too(Jack Black, Billy Corgan, Tom Morello, etc etc). There’s a lot of depth there with their catalog and various phases of their career. I think a Rush pin would be amazing and really unique. Motley Crue is fun and the first 2 records rock pretty hard. But it’s more basic, pedestrian, lowest common denominator rock(not necessarily a bad thing.) I just don’t think a Crue pin would be as interesting. I imagine an opening plunge that triggers the start of Tom Sawyer…goose bumps. YYZ multiball, temples of Syrinx mode, spirit of the radio mode, etc. I think Rush would be a very unique and moving pin.

Not a fan of either of these themes...Motley Crue would probably be my choice though between them. If the crue guys didn’t mind it being a little campy and included the more over the top elements of their self-alleged activities it could be a little fun. And their music - while kind of disposable and light, could work ok in the confines of a pinball.
Rush I’m just not a big fan of..and their appeal across demographics (ie women) seems to be about nil. There are some very dedicated rush fans but I bet there’s more generic “80s rock fans” who would go for a crue game to relive their teenage hijinks in the 80s.
Rush would probably do ok in sales (like all classic rock pins) but I think crue would do better.
Quoted from Jaybird815:Where the fuck is Gryszzz when you need him?
Probably in jail.
Quoted from Kkoss24:Vince Meal is breaking my heart .If he gets in shape,2022 tour happens and the Dirt 2 comes out I definitly see them getting they’re pin .

The pin could have the videos get worse the more shots you miss until you're left with...this for the final "guess the lyrics" wizard mode...

lmfao …That’s great
Quoted from Kkoss24:lmfao …That’s great
Voila!
Heh. It's my favorite of all the subtitled Vince Neil mumbly songs. The guy that subbed it is a comic titan.

Why does everybody think there’s still a chance Vince might lop off 150 pounds and suddenly remember how to sing again?
Seems very unlikely.
The Shah Sleeps in Lee Harvey's Grave 12 ball multiball, please. I'd probably want to go lie down under a blanket for a while after it was over, but still.
As a long time hip rock and roller that’s seen all three of these bands live in their prime it’s no contest, and it’s not Rush or the Crue. But since they probably won’t make a Butthole Surfer game I’m gonna hijack and say SABBATH!

Sleeping wall of remorse
Turns your body to a corpse
Wow...even though these bands are straight out of childhood I don't care for either one of them. Just for kicks how many of you want a hair band vs say Smokey and the Bandit? The A team, or Dukes of Hazzard? So many cool titles from the 80's that would make for a better theme. Then move to the 90's and start with Star Trek DS9, Quantum Leap, or maybe do a better X Files....then 3rd rock from the sun...and Firefly all better than all the hair bands, for me anyway.

I don't think we need another music pin either. But the question is simply Rush or Crue, which would you prefer if you even care,

They can stop making them when they give us Sabbath, Van Halen, and Judas Priest.
Quoted from GorillaBiscuits:They can stop making them when they give us Sabbath, Van Halen, and Judas Priest.
I think a Sabbath/Ozzy pin is a must. Any 3 of those would be great. I would be down for a Crue pin as well. Everyone makes fun of the old rockers who get fat but look at Axl and GNR is hot as fire.
I still love the old crue stuff, the dirt is a great movie, watched it twice.
That being said if ozzy/sabbath isn’t next something seriously wrong.
Sabbath and Slayer, I like Rush but not for a pin. Crue? no thanks. The Priest is just common sense.

People keep saying this, but people
Keep buying them.
May as suggest to Stern that making money is a bad idea.
