Quoted from PtownPin:Because the horrible theme and music outweighed the great game play.....
If they would have made Maiden like AC/DC, you might have somewhat of a pretty good point. Fortunately someone at Stern or in the band was sharp enough to figure out if the theme was based around Eddie it would have much broader appeal and would lend itself to some fantastic art. I'm only moderately interested in Maiden, but their mascot Eddie was a stroke of genius.
Quoted from Sinistarrett:I dont think it would be possible to choose a worse band in the entire history of music.
They already did this pin, it's called KISS.
