Official Monster Truck "Silly Season" 2K17 Thread


Recommended Posts

I think it's less about people getting offended at the sight of a gun, and more about preventing bad timing. Meaning, if there was a big shooting somewhere in the US, and a truck comes out with Gun on it, it would probably be in poor taste in the audience's eyes. Sorta like how they didn't debut Maximum Destruction directly after 9/11. Personally I think the Soldier Fortune turret should stay on because that's just part of the military aesthetic.

Same with Gunslinger being changed to Slinger. Personally I think it would be better if they changed nothing at all instead of removing anything gun related and the controversy behind it, but I guess you're right about them playing it safe.

This has probably been posted before, but I was screwing around on Google Maps looking around at random stadiums, and I got to Angel Stadium in Anaheim and it's satellite image is from after one of the events from earlier this year.

Edit: Looks like Levi's Stadium's satellite image could be from while they're getting the stadium ready for a show.

Ehhh that's less a save and more of a lucky bounce and physics working. There's a clip of Excaliber back in the day doing the same thing, Wrecking Crew in New Orleans did it this year and hell you could do it in RoR pretty easy

Also according to Jim and Chris Allen's Facebook page Doomsday and El Diablo will perform for the last time tonight and yep guns are removed from the Soldier Fortune trucks:



Personally I don't get why showing guns are bad but advertising energy drinks and a truck with the brain showing is okay but... blame the news media, they ruin everything. Bastards.

DARNIT FELD. why must you take el diablo away (i really dont care about doomsday)
