Quoted from canea:Why are you guys still talking about all these bands that aren't Slayer?
The off-topic dialogue fits just fine. Hell is often depicted as an ongoing torture

Quoted from Hazoff:As much as I would love a Slayer pin I really doubt Stern is making one, Metallica is about as dark as they will go in my opinion band wise and thats a damn shame, a damn shame.
Stern has no issues with pins depicting violence, gore, language or heavy music, so a Slayer pin should not be out of the question thematically. It is all about what will sell and what is the hot license. Slayer is not as big of an arena draw as any of the other musical artists they have released, but if they could get the licensing and thought the game would be profitable, I am sure they would consider it.
Quoted from Hazoff:Yeah its the satanism that I think would cause the problem, don't get me wrong I'm all for it, I guess they could leave that imagery out but it just wouldn't be as good, like Slayer and Venom it looks cool and they aren't satanists, neither am I, first you would have to believe in that all that crap which is where I get off the bus, listen if Stern makes a Slayer pin I will in for a RIBlood LE so fast it would make ur head spin.
It is an interesting line in the sand. For example, ACDC has 3 songs on the game referring directly to Hell, the Luci version has a horned girl and obviously plays off the lucifer theme, but nobody would equate ACDC or their songs to the intensity or imagery of Slayer. Some songs such as Hell Awaits and South of Heaven are titles objectively no worse than the songs referenced in ACDC, but the lyrics and tone are a completely different vibe.
As I said, it makes for an interesting line in the sand. This "evil" imagery is obviously tongue in cheek, but this "evil" imagery is too dark ( but hey, it's still really tongue and cheek-just don't tell anyone)
Quoted from Gryszzz:It's this years booth Neal, and do everyone in this thread a solid and never again mention Slayer and Slipknot in the same sentence.
Other than this^sentence
