AC/DC TO METALLICA: “FUCK YOU, WE CAN MAKE OUR OWN VERSION OF MONOPOLY!”

Friday, August 5th, 2011 at 12:40pm by

AC/DC and Metallica are similar in a lot of ways: their creative heyday is behind them, for example, and they, too, have a massive fan base with enough stupid people who will buy anything with their logo on it to ensure that they will never go hungry.

But AC/DC are also different from Metallica in a lot of ways: they don’t ever come across as total dicks, for example, and their live shows are not embarrassing. In fact, AC/DC live is still an awesome experience that every man, woman, and child should experience at least once before they die.

And so: AC/DC, like Metallica, have now released their own version of the classic board game Monopoly, which, like Metallica’s version of the game, is really not at all different from the original Monopoly, save for the pieces are a little different, the names of the properties players need to collect are a little different, and the game is more expensive.

Unlike Metallica, though, AC/DC are only charging about fifty percent more than the “classic” edition’s price for their version of the game, whereas Metallica are charging roughly one-hundred percent more. Unless you want a special edition which comes with a DVD and a t-shirt, but when you toss those items in, the new price actually seems kinda reasonable.

You can order regular AC/DC Monopoly here, or the special edition here. Although, really, don’t order it. Children are starving, y’know?

    Whatchoo think about Metal Sucks: The Board Game? Maybe a collectible card game? Crimson Metal Mages, somethin’ like that.

    Does KISS monopoly exist yet? Not saying it should, but given Mr Simmons reputation I’m kind of surprised.

      I’m pretty sure it’s in the talks or about to be released very soon.

    Metallica does not suck live.

    • http://www.facebook.com/whip.cracker Shannon

      In comparison to AC/DC… having seen them both within the last 2 years… yeah.

      Metallica put on a show, but they suck compared to AC/DC.

    • Bread

      That fact that Lars still fucks up the One double kick section live ranks them lower than the shitty core bands I see play at the youth center where I live.

  • Mal Content

    Say what you want about their post Black Album output, you’ll get no argument from me but…

    They have never, ever sucked live.

  • DudeWithAGuitar

    Enough with the Metallica hate…..they have always been great live (a few off days, sure). These days they are killing it. get off your elitist high horse, Metalsucks

  • yzermantiis

    AC/DC live = really fucking fun time

    God forbid somebody who likes a band would want a piece of merch that isn’t a T-Shirt or CD, I bet if Iron Maiden released a Monopoly set..people would jizz their pants. (I know i would..imagine the artwork and presentation!) When you guys bitch about shit like this it makes you sound like 15 year olds. When have Metallica come across as total dicks recently? if you knew ANYTHING about them you would know they are pretty fucking cool to their fans and actually nice guys.

    Let’s be honest here, Ac/Dc never had a creative heyday.

  • Randy

    AC/DC’s creative heyday is behind them? What rock have you been sleeping under?
    DUH.
    AC/DC will remain the greatest rock n roll band of all time, like it or not, that’s the fact -live and studio, AC/DC took hard rock music to another level like no other band in music history ever has or EVER WILL.

      +1 mate!

      @Anthony:
      “Never had a creative heyday”? lol… yet they’re the highest selling artists in the world?

      They never sounded like anyone else… they’re pioneers at what they do. You can hear them on the radio and know EXACTLY who it is. Being unique like AC/DC is more than creative if you ask me.

      Just another proud Australian right here! :)

    I’d have to also say metallica is awesome live. Their tix are expensive but they put on a he’ll of a show. It’s safe to say people just love to hate metallica. On another note I 1000% agree Acdc is fucking amazing live!

  • Gut Cassidy And the Sundance Cheeseburger

    Randy, you are a huge dork. Every song sounds the same

      So do a lot of bands…

      If it ain’t broke… don’t fix it.
