The could just make a "Police" pin... "Ghost in the Machine" Version would work well with their inserts.

I'm sure this game will be a real suckcess.

unless the game plays really well, there will probably be a lot of these sitting around. maybe they can strip the artwork/decals and reuse the cabinets for something else.

If it flops that might be the best thing that can happen. Enough of these outdated failures might be enough to bring pinball back into the 21st century.

I guess that means Pokemon Go then?

Please no. For the sake of all that is holy, let DP or JJP have Blade.

It would be ridiculed by Pinside but it would also be the first NiB pin I would buy sight unseen.

If Lonnie does the code, I'll buy the game in 10 years when he finally gets around to finishing it.

As long as we can hack the Spike2 MPU, the game could be good with the proper songs, and none of that sappy power-ballad bullshit

Toys in the Attic
Kings and Queens
Mama Kin
Let the Music Do the Talking
Lightning Strikes
Chip Away The Stone
No More
Sick As A Dog
Adam's Apple
Train Kept a Rollin'

Even with the proper songs, who wants to hear them more than once in a year anymore?

Just listening to my spotify daily mix when an aerosmith song snuck in. I hit the I don't like it button and it gave me the option to make my list aerosmith free yay!

Don't forget Elvis.

Just like Metallica, even if you hate the current version of the band, the pin is still crazy fun to play.

Elvis is awesome. The man and the pin.

Elvis kind of nails its theme and is somewhat cheesy, but in a good way. Its already better than Rolling Stones just because it doesn't look like they had a $150 budget to build it. I can't think of another rock band that gives me the gut reaction to smash the channel button through the back of the radio at the first note like Aerosmith does.

I heard that the Aerosmith pinball cabinet will be the worlds first handicap accessible cabinet. It will have a wheel chair lift on it, just roll up to the cabinet and raise yourself to the proper playing height. This innovation is due to Stern's partnership with AARP.

Rumor has it the topper is a kidney dialysis machine.

Also, Stern will be offering senior discounts and a special sound system for those who are hard of hearing, courtesy of technology by Miracle Ear.

This game is going to do great for operators that have pins in retirement and convalescent homes!!!

Amen to that, brotha. Any time I listen to broadcast radio, which is rare because it sucks SOOOO bad, if I tune in to a 'classic rock' station (or ANY Clearchannel station) it is guaranteed That I WILL hear 1 of these 4 bands: Queen (We Are the Champions), Aerosmith (Dream On) AC/DC (For Those About To Rock), & Lynyrd Skynyrd (Freebird). My God, what dreck.

|I think everyone needs to "walk this way " ......away.......

After those 4 songs, they will ALWAYS play Welcome to the Jungle.

Sounds like Lyman is out. Is Lonnie in? Aren't people going to grab pitchforks if he's programming Aerosmith and Kiss still isn't finished?

How certain is it that Lyman is out?

Pitchforks would be out regardless..

Can't wait to try out Crippletoe multiball, goal is to hit the lit purple shots to collect enough toe nails to progress towards the Disfigured Foot wizard mode.

Did we have this much fun when they announced Kiss? I'll bet they've still got a few of those in the warehouse keeping all the WWEs company.

No Lyman? Lonnie instead? No way.

They must have decided to just mail this one in. But its good news for BM66, Lyman can focus all his time on that one

You're now to Aerosmith what Teekee is to MMr. Congrats, lol.

Thanks! If my opinion can sway anybody from buying it, and it totally flops, then it was all worth while.

No interest a yawner.

I think that depends primarily on the condition it's in (the pin, not the man). If it's well looked after, it's great. But even minor deterioration sucks a lot of fun out of the game- much more so than other pins.

Uh, why? I understand Teekee because MMr ruined his profit. Isn't like 90% of your collection like EM's and you've only bought like one Stern? I get that you don't like the theme, but you were never going to buy it anyways no matter what the theme. It's like picketing at a store you don't even shop at because you don't like their brand of tires...yes, you may get some people to not buy that tire, but why?

I have the Revolution X arcade in my gameroom.. and I like it!
Great music to play the game on.... Walk this way, eat the rich, ..

You can say the same things about AC/DC.

If the game play is sound, I'm buying one.

Oh, can't argue with that... I played it on location and loved it. Of all the machines there it was the one I liked best, and they had AC-DC (I'd played it often before though), Spider-Man, and a couple of WMS from what I remember.
I'm an Elvis fan so I guess that counts for something. I played Rolling Stones once and didn't even finish the game, crappiest game I've seen. I don't like the Stones though

No thank you.

I think everybody in this hobby likes to be able to get excited with new games and believe the hobby they are in is special and relevant. And I'm no different. There has been a large shift recently towards the irrelevant, and I for one would like to see it get back on track.

And your trying to size up what I do and don't like and what I would buy and wouldn't buy is also highly irrelevant.

Alright fair enough, and we've heard you. Maybe you've stated this somewhere already, but which band from today would you consider a relevant enough theme which deserves to be on a pinball game? Maybe you don't think any band should be on a pin? I think it's obvious that Stern will keep riding the musical themed wave for all it's worth, so what would you like to see? Not trying to piss you off, just curious.

FWIW, I personally find quite a few of Stern's recent offerings to be irrelevant to me, but I don't think getting in a froth about it is worth it. I can surely wait for the next theme that checks all the boxes for me, but until then I'll just keep an eye out for the classics. At least Stern and others are still producing games in 2016, which can't be a terrible thing

Well lets not use the Justin Bieber argument. There are plenty of bands that have been active in the last 20 years. Say a band like Muse. From alternative to hip hop and rap, there are plenty to choose from. Point is GNR is the most current band to get their own machine and it came out while the band was still fairly new and relevant.

Phish!

They have been around for decades, just released a new album, fall tour starts this week, they are still going strong, and also have a rabid fanbase.

Toss on that the art is already awesome with artists like www.davidwelker.com

WTF? so many things wrong here, the sandals take top spot as there are disgusting but also allow a view of the trainwreck that are those toes, what kind of man paints his toe nails? I never liked Aerosmith and I always will.

Megadeth
Slayer
Motorhead
I for one would love to see a Black Sabbath pin and no offense Odin but Muse sucks.

Zero the Hero Wizard mode

"This pin will flop because Steve Tyler is old"

Meanwhile, a few threads over, people can't stop talking about an 83 year old woman.

Yup bring on Motorhead! RIP Lemmy, Bomber Multiball!!

Don't forget a Mob Rules multiball

Seriously man. It's like he stepped on a landmine and then painted the shrapnel with toenail polish.

How about a real band still going

Stern just leaked some playfield art of the Aerosmith pinball machine, Donnie really killed it here!

I remember seeing a thread about what the next Stern pin should be / what your dream theme is etc. There were a lot of really good ideas from Pinsiders but I do not recall Aerosmith being mentioned at all. Why doesn't Stern actually lurk on Pinside to gauge interest on a theme before giving us cripple toes?

I agree with Hazoff, Judas Priest or Iron Maiden would have been a better choice.

i have long been of the opinion that the three worst bands in existence are KISS, Aerosmith, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. so apparently if you want to know what the next Stern music pin after Aerosmith is gonna be ...
