yeahhh, no thanks. aren't they already scraping the bottom of the barrel with fucking Aerosmith and KISS? it's not like there are any more embarrassingly pathetic dadrock bands than that.

i mean sure, i'd be all about rock pins if The Ramones, Minor Threat, Misfits, Propagandhi, Buzzcocks, or Copstabber were financially viable options. But i'm under no illusions that they are at all, sadly.

haha

i think that's a little bit backwards -- following the breakup in '83, Danzig held the rights to the Misfits and did everything he could to screw Doyle and Jerry Only out of royalties -- up to and including overdubbing their guitar parts on re-issues and unreleased material so they wouldn't get a cut.

then they sued each other for years, and eventually in about 1994 the members reached an out of court agreement -- Danzig and Only could both independently sell Misfits merch of any kind, and wouldn't have to pay royalties to the other, and Jerry Only and Doyle were allowed to perform and tour as "The Misfits" (in '94, Danzig didn't want any part of any Misfits reunion). Jerry proceeded to make a killing on Misfits merch (and probably a tidy sum on touring too), so Danzig being Danzig got mad and tried to sue him. the case got thrown out.

But now they're all best buds and going on tour again, and it's not at all a sad cash grab by a bunch of saggy, tired, litigious, balding old men.

in another year or two, Jerry's devillock is gonna have to be made out of his back hair.

... why did the OP edit the thread title to be less intelligible?

those would be awesome, but i doubt Stern would be too psyched about building games for a customer base of like 9 people.

most of the popular music from EVERY generation is straight up garbage. over time, a filtering process takes place and what gets remembered is the good stuff. that's why it can SEEM like music from the 60s/70s/80s was better. most of the crap has been thrown out. look at this list of the top song of the year from each year -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Billboard_Year-End_number-one_singles_and_albums

is anyone crying out for a pin based on "The Way We Were" by Barbra Streisand (1974)? or how about "Let's Get Physical" by Olivia Newton-John, the top song from 1982? the truth is every generation has a strong helping of mega-popular pablum that it conveniently forgets about in order to hypocritically berate subsequent generations.

dude, two of those games are currently sitting at #6 and #19 all time on the Pinside Top 100. I think it's fair to say they were VERY well received!

Your point was that Pinside hates original themes. I proved you wrong. What more do you want?

A small number of loud voices don’t speak for everyone. The top 100, while flawed, is a better barometer of general consensus than looking for the loudest or most persistent posters. You and I both know this.
