I am in on this run. I will Paypal and PM the final song list.

Pm sent

Hey, for those who don't know I'm Arcade's brother and help him with these. Just to be clear about the "space given by Stern" please pay close attention to the lighted area behind the song title. The light is restricted to that area alone. The wood panel behind the plastic has holes cut out to fit the height and width of each current song title. TNT is the worst offender here and would be difficult to replace unless you don't care about how much of your song title lights up. So plan accordingly.

I'm in. I'll figure out my song list and PM you soon. What's the deadline for getting song titles to you?

Damn...I must have missed something on ACDC...how do I change my songs? Want to update and order a set!!

I'll be in ! ! Once I figure out my songs.

Thanks

Curious if people are using any non-AcDc tunes?

No, I have replaced the following:

(original song ------> new song)

- Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be 4:12 -----------> Dirty Deeds Done Done Cheap 3:54 (extended end notes with Paulstretch to 4:10 or so)
- Rock N Roll Train 4:18 ------------> If You Want Blood 4:36 (edited to early fade out to 4:18)
- Whole Lotta Rosie 5:19 -------------> Shoot to Thrill 5:20
- War Machine 3:07 ----------------> Who Made Who 3:29 (edited to fade out to 3:07)
- Let There Be Rock 5:59 --------------> Money Talks 3:48 (repeated after first play through, and early fade out to 5:59 for the two song playback)

Does it bother you the DMD does not match the song, 'Rosie' for example? Pink inserts etc...

Dirty Deeds is a good one for hell ain't a bad place, also 'Have a Drink on Me' - "forget about the cheque well get hell to pay!"

It would bother me. I did replace War Machine for Shoot to Thrill which matches well, and Let there be Rock with Long Way to the Top which is fine. I still want to replace For Those About to Rock with If You Want Blood, but am conflicted due to the heavier theme integration.

I am trying to decide

Train -- Crazy Train or Nightrain (GnR faster upbeat)

War Machine --- War Pigs or 'The Mob Rules' both Black Sabbath

Hell ain't a bad place --- 'Iron Man' since the hell face reminds me of Iron Man or N.I.B or 'Black Sabbath' due to the static mood (n.i.b. "my name is Lucifer please take my hand" )

LTBR while a good song, I'm thinking 'Shoot to Thrill'

War Machine is a 3 minute song. Shoot to Thrill is a 5 minute song. It would bother me way more to have the song abruptly end when it is barely half over.

That darn shorty, if only the song length was elastic so a longer song would fit.

Definitely in for this, need to pick songs now

Nothing a little creative editing can't fix.

I'm definitely in, but I'll have to come up with a song list, first. Thanks for doing this, especially at a reasonable cost!

I was in on the first run and definitely happy with the finished product, and now I'm back for more! In the original thread I had put up a short vid showing the change (added in Who Made Who):

It's cool that you just want to help people out, but I know from experience that managing just the orders alone takes time, let alone the work you're doing etc. Just don't sell yourself short, people are happy to pay you for a quality product, your price is totally reasonable.

Just swapping out a few of the songs makes this pin even better than it already is!
Thanks Arcade!

What are some of the song list some of you are going with? I have changed a few and would just like to see what others have come up with. I am in I just need to finalized my list as well!

Same! I'd like to be in, just having a hard time finalizing my list. So far I'm thinking:

shook me all night long -> whiskey on the rocks
rock n roll train -> shoot to thrill

Guys if you don't mind sharing please post your song lists I am having a hard time deciding.

If you can't decide, make 2 different lists. These are the ones I'm going with.

You Shook Me All Night Long
Highway To Hell
Rock N Roll Train
Whole Lotta Rosie
Hells Bells
Thunderstruck

Back in Black
Who Made Who
For Those About To Rock
TNT
Money Talks
It's a Long Way To The Top

-and-

You Shook Me All Night Long
Highway To Hell
Rock N Roll Train
Whole Lotta Rosie
Hells Bells
Thunderstruck

Back in Black
Who Made Who
For Those About To Rock
TNT
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Shoot To Thrill

This is what I went with, loaded up the new BIN last night and it's rocking!

I am not a huge AcDc fan (gasp) don't get me wrong I like their hits a lot, but I was kinda looking to get the AcDc out of some. The 7 major songs don't change for me, don't like Rosie but the DMD kind of fits that song too well to change.

I changed out:
RnR Train
War Machine
Hell Ain't a bad place to be
LTBR (I find too indulgent or whatever the word is) but I wanted a fast rocking song there.

I like metal but found a lot of what I like was kind of doom or ponderous so I could not pick most of those.

Here is what I ended up with after much thought. I wanted the songs to fit the mode and tempo.

Two versions (one more Ozzy/Dio/Sabbath) the other more Judas Priest but with some Sabbath and GnR for good measure.

I found the song "The Mob Rules" fits well with the 'War Machine' and is the same length and 'Painkiller' same length as LTBR.

Version 1:
Crazy Train (Train)
The Mob Rules (War machine)
Iron Man (Hell Ain't a bad place to be)
Painkiller -Judas Priest (LTBR)

Version 2:
Nightrain GnR (RnR Train) (edit this should be spelled 'Night Train' but for whatever reason GNR spelled It how they did.
The Mob Rules (War Machine)
You've got another thing coming (in place of Hell Ain't a bad place)
Painkiller (LtBR)

Leon is working on the following for me!

All Summer Long Kid Rock
Hit Me with your Best Shot Pat Benatar
Just What I needed Cars
Sweet Home Alabama Skynard
Don’t Look Back Boston
Satisfaction Rolling Stones
Thunder Road Springsteen
Born to Run Springsteen
We Will Rock You Queen
Highway to Hell
TNT
Back in Black

This explains so much about our rocky relationship, Ice.

haha, not sure why that one struck me G, doesn't quite fit right?

I like to someday do away with some more songs with NIN or such but I am still new to acdc pin and can't see changing hells bells, TNT, Thunderstruck, BIB or Highway to hell.

This is just a quick change for me that I will change back after a while. Hells Bells, Thunderstruck and Dirty Deeds are gonna be missed. That's the beauty of Ac/dc. Heck I might even create a Jimmy Buffet version next

Of the new tunes I added in this is my favourite new DMD animation. If Shoot to Thrill doesn't fit in that spot I don't know what does. That's right baby, I've got my cannon right here and I'm ready to shoot to thrill!

I just bough this pin on a whim, I had sold my IJ and had some money burning a hole in my pocket, I had been avoiding it like the plague because I don't get the whole music pin ani last time i listenrd to AcDc was 30 years ago when I was in HS. But a super nice Refinery edition popped up in my area for a song (pun) and I just got it figured if I hated it I'd unload it for little risk, but this pin has to be one of the best, I even like the lower PF and I usually don't care for that sort of thing.

But after owning the pin and especially with the music mod, I am loving it.

We can say we are the only people on earth with this exact combo of songs or whatever but to me it just makes it that much more special.

Now if I can start to figure out the rules.

Is there any good place to add big balls to match with animation?

Leon "Arcade" does a great job! Thx for all the help

Arcade do we have until the end of the day to decide? I'm still trying to think of a good ac/dc song to swap rock and roll train for. (This is hard)

That is awesome. Makes it MUCH easier for me to do the names that way. Much less of my double and triple checking which songs go where. Thanks!

I keep saying I'm gonna learn to do that next. How easy is it to do those animations? What program are you using?

Edit: That is just the stock animation for "for those about to rock" isn't it? I had read your as if you did a custom one.
