Quoted from Haymaker:According to everyone's favorite podcaster, the word on the street is that Ritchie's 1st game for JJP will be none other than BILLY JOEL! Get ready for Piano man wizard mode. I've literally joked about a Billy Joel pinball before, never thought it could happen. Are you excited? Concerned? Hopefully its better than Zep, if the rumor is indeed true.
ZMeny did NOT say this!! What other favorite podcaster is there?
Lol! Never!! Waiting for Black Sabbath or Ozzy pin from Stern. It will be here one day. I can feel it!!!
We didn't start the price increases
They were always increasing, and the mechanical toy offering has been lowering
We didn't start the price increases
No, we didn't start it, and we didn't try to fight it
Quoted from CrazyLevi:LMAO close but no cigar.
Somebody is having a little fun with him.
Well if by “close” you mean geographically, then someone else comes to mind who might elicit a different reaction…or not, in case I will just shuffle off.
Quoted from PanzerFreak:We didn't start the price increases...
Anyone that thinks that I got a Billy Joel pin to sell ya!
Billy Joel sounds about right.
JJP probably considers their most recent music theme too edgy and dangerous so they had to tone it down a bit for their next one.
Quoted from Jokerman:Well if by “close” you mean geographically, then someone else comes to mind who might elicit a different reaction…or not, in case I will just shuffle off.
I heard ages ago - like last year - that it was Elton John. No idea if it’s true or not.
Would make a lot of sense. Ancient performer with a million hits. Broad appeal. The EM is one of the most famous and still sells easy. Elton covered PiNball Wizard too.
It’s certainly not Billy Joel that’s a ludicrous idea.
Quoted from Coz:I’d rather have a Milli Vanilli pin than Billy Joel

GREAT THEME
Could be fun, how long can you play without being discovered that you were faking it?
bwahaha
I would have said there was zero chance jjp would do this theme, but now after seeing the decision to do TS4 over the first 3 toy story movies, I can’t trust them to make wise theme decisions anymore. Absolutely not interested regardless how cool the game is if it’s themed on Billy. Hoping K-man’s info is as wrong as his hype on ts4 being the greatest Lawlor game coming
$12000 for a BJ pin?
Eddy could never afford to live that kind of life….
And there we were waving JJ and Richie good bye….

An excellent/very funny troll job if true

I might be down with an Elton John pin, that could be fun

This is the worst idea I've ever heard.
Screen Shot 2022-08-02 at 9.36.17 AM (resized).pngIf they can make Elvis work, they can make Billy Joel work. I’m not the biggest Billy Joel fan but a lot of these reactions come off like a middle school “metal rules, other music drools” mindset tbh!
Quoted from westofrome:I’d rather see Springsteen or Petty first though!
I could get into a Tom Petty pin for sure.
Likely a fake rumour put out to see if K man was gullible enough to post about it. Unless JJP are genuinely trying to put themselves out of business.
Is it Billy Joel Part 4? Or the like able 80s Billy Joel.
Or in support of his new album.
God I would hate it if the actually Billy Joel had to read all this. Hear he's a pinguy..
Wednesday night I crashed my car and,
Thursday night I crashed my car and,
Friday night I crashed my car again.
Sadly, this is now my memory of Billy:

Aw hello no... that music does not suit pinball at all.
Plus my man looks like a tree frog these days.
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:Are you saying it's a matter of trust?
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right
Quoted from practicalsteve:Me the first time I see a Billy Joel pin in the wild if god forbid this is true…
Lol… “Stop lighting the audience”
He’s gonna go batshit when the JJP LEDs kick in
Would be better than "Ozzy Osbourne" anyway.
I'm still hoping for a Burt Reynolds-machine.
How about a CANNONBALL or SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT - Pinball?
There's enough Music-pins already ...
Quoted from Mardi-Gras-Man:How about a CANNONBALL or SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT - Pinball?
I think a pin like Smokey and the Bandit would be great for a company like AP. I just can’t see a company like JJP doing a pin with that theme, but, then again, we are talking about Billy Joel here…. with that being said, I think Smokey and the Bandit has the potential for a lot of fun and good humor.
