Rush or Motley Crue

Quoted from cdnpinbacon:
You need to get your head examined

Nope. Heads good and psychiatrist said so lol. Put a poll up and guaranteed Crue would crush Rush. Well maybe not in Canada but I still bet Crue would win in a heartbeat. Record sales don’t lie either. Fanboyism can be terminal. Stay healthy my friend.

Many more people heard of Rush thanks to Johnny Atkins character on the Goldbergs, and they still don’t care for Rush and if they heard them on the radio they would change the channel.

Yeah they do. Cardi B has sold millions upon millions and she sucks. Both bands would sell just fine its simply taste at war here. I liked Motley Crue when I was a kid but Rush is the vastly superior band that's just a fact. Personally I don't want either. I like early rush but it got progressively worse and worse in the 80's and the 90's? shit. Crue has a few good songs but for the most part they suck. Ah who cares anyway. I'll wait for Sabbath, Motorhead, Priest and Slayer.

Yeah, but most Crue fans don't make enough money to buy a pinball machine. They're too busy eating corndogs at state fairs while they follow the Crue and Def Leppard around the country. Rush fans all went into nerdy IT jobs and are loaded...especially since there are no concert tickets to spend money on anymore.

I knew a nice couple who when we invited them to go out to a nice place would show up with a new set of Crue tshirts.Full disclosure they told me about a great new band and their album was titled Back in Black.Doh

THis. I have no idea what they would do with Rush as far as pinball. I do like them a lot. I listen to them often. But Crue just makes a heck of a lot more sense.....they cut to the chase with song topics we all love. "Girls, Girls, Girls". Yes! my favorite 3 things! "She goes down". Yes! Who doesn't like when she does that?

Having said this, I think I'm just going to move ahead and build a Pink Floyd pin. I just have no idea why this wouldn't have been made a long time ago. I am going to order lasers and a smoke machine and get started.....

Ok, but do you know how many women were into this back in the day? Crue was the first concert I went to as a teen and I think I spent more time watching the crowd than the band. Did Rush have female fans? I think it was just male band geek theatre types.

Quoted from Rarehero:
He’s not. He always fails to understand pop culture & fanbases that he’s unaware of. Just because things are outside of a personal bubble of knowledge doesn't mean they don’t exist. He didn’t know what R&M was, dismissing that it’s one of the biggest shows with a rabid fanbase….he thought Halloween wouldn’t sell, dismissing the huge horror fan world.
It’s weird that someone who wants to blow Slash doesn’t understand the passionate fanbase of bands.
It’s cool to not like a band. It’s ignorant to dismiss the success of Rush, their influence, and their fans.

Oh you're right about him not understanding things hes not into but he's mostly right about rush being a bad theme . I just think most rush music doesn't lend itself well to the kinetics of pinball. I feel the same way about Zep though and they made that game so what do I know. I'd rather have rush than zep any day

Likely Rush had as many female fans as Pinball does. Sounds like a perfect demographic to me for a band theme.

I think many songs are perfect for pinball. Imagine hitting start and hearing the opening riff of Spirit of Radio…then hitting launch blows you into the song. I think there are clever ways you can edit the music to really punch up the pinball moments, similar to the way Metallica does in some ways.

And because a Crue pin won't be made, all the fans can use that money on needed front tooth dental work...

…and it’s possible that the Crue votes are just anti-Rush votes & not actually buyers of a Crue pin. A more accurate poll would just be “Would you buy a Rush pin?” Yes or No.

Someone should start a poll for some of the pins K thinks would be better than Rush: Spice Girls, Madonna, Michael Jackson. Let’s see how well those fare around here lol
