In fairness to the guy, IMO a lot of their lesser known stuff is lesser known for a reason. Its filler, its not bad its just not very good. And compared to their best work, its a turd in a punchbowl.
But to compare yourself to “The Beatles” of your industry is very close to the height of arrogance. I mean, I loved the Borderlands games, Gearbox might be selling out shows but they arent filling arenas.
I honestly disagree that the Beatles were putting out “filler”. Much of Beatles’ lesser known stuff wasn’t filler, it was just not as popular. There’s some real quality and ingenuity in the vast majority of Beatles songs. There’s definitely some weaker songs that could be polished a bit, but even those songs often were inspirational for the entire industry.
Honestly, name any song and it’s probably well known for something.
Yeah, I mean Rocky Raccoon is legendary. I know it’s one of me and my friends’ favorite songs. A big ballad masterpiece. I guess Tommy and Rocky Raccoon were both part of a rock opera trend in 1968, not really sure.
The lyrics are amazing, with lots of double meanings, stylistic characters, and cinematic dialogue. The folksy country feeling and Paul’s affected southern accent is classic. The snare drum when rocky gets shot. The twist at the end with the song ending with the listener not really knowing if Rocky dies or not. The song also inspired the Guardians of the Galaxy character, Rocket Raccoon.
This guy is literally the gaming industry equivalent of Yoko Ono. Some groups/companies are worse, but they’re less known because they often don’t speak so much. This guy just can’t shut up.
IDK, seems rude to compare her to this absolute fuckwit. Yoko gets a bad rap because Beatles fans were racist jealous and accused her of some insane shit. Everyone knows some of her music, but she was an insanely influential performance and installation artist even before getting with John, and that’s not to mention her peace advocacy. Admittedly though her music, while influential artistically and based on traditional tonal performance styles, really really sucks.
Meanwhile though, Pitchford is exactly as annoying to listen to but has -zero- redeeming qualities. Seriously, fuck this guy.
Yeah, thats why they were world famous and had people literally swarming them everywhere they went: because only 25% of their songs were good.
Yeah.

Rocky Raccoon.
I just wanted to throw out one of their lesser-played songs.

They should’ve used it in GotG 3, honestly.

The Beatles once said they were bigger than Jesus. Pitchford is claiming to be as good as the Beatles. Pitchford is claiming to be better than Jesus.
Ok Christian Fundies, cancel this man!
