Hell yeah.......... Stern has delivered on IMDN
I am so stoked to be in the LE crew.
Soooooo.... next music pin
I was gonna start a new thread,
Thought I would do the right thing and SEARCH first
Thanks rvdv for the kick off.
Yes BLACK SABBATH 100 % would be a super kick ass title
A complex and humorous history , so much going on.
Tony Iommi is definately one of the greatest lead guitar players of all time !
Some awesome tunes to boot !
Ozzy is such a tripper !
Let give the classic rocker a kick ass pinball before he checks out.
I'm down for a Black Sabbath Pinball !
Tracks can be sometimes slow and stoner, but they always build TO EPIC HEIGHTS
Easily a lot of incredible features that can be built into a pin.
A special video located on the tube
Certainly one of my favorite albums !
Greatest !
and no its NOT BLS
its SABBATH !
Rock on !

Quoted from woody76:Way better option than maiden
Well this statement is sheer nonsense but I do agree we need a Sabbath pin. Ozzy years with a taste of Dio (Heaven and Hell/Die Young and 100% needs to include Zero The Hero and for me Trashed from Born again. I'll take strictly Ozzy but via Pin Browser Zero the Hero will make its way into the game. I'm in. 
Quoted from hoby1:As long as its the DIO years and not Ozzy.... Im in
More nonsense but if thats the only way I'll get a Sabbath pin then I'll take. 
Die Young Multiball
I think Black Sabbath would be a good pin also but im sorry guys, i just dont see it happening. I honestly dont think the interest is there for most people compared to themes like The Beatles, Van Halen etc. i almost think an Ozzy pin would be more likely than Black Sabbath. Id be interested in it but i have my doubts that we will ever see it happen.

Sorry, but it just wouldnt be a Sabbath pin then.
Quoted from hoby1:As long as its the DIO years and not Ozzy.... Im in
That would make almost zero sense.
I'm willing to allow a few of the Dio songs on there but I think we all know it's Ozzy sabbath that puts meat in the seats!!!
Didn't I hook you up with some free Dio Sabbath / Priest / Motorhead tix back in the day?
Quoted from Who-Dey:i almost think an Ozzy pin would be more likely than Black Sabbath.
Think licensing. Is it easier to work with the entities that own Sabbath rights or entities that own Ozzy rights?
Rob Zombie & Alice Cooper both got pins. The interest in Sabbath or Ozzy is high enough for a run that size. I don't think interest is high enough for Stern.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:That would make almost zero sense.

You did brother ...... it was in August for my birthday. Pretty sure it was in Camden NJ. August 6th 2008 it was the Metal masters tour. And Levi ..... thx again for those!!!
Black Sabbath is Ozzy/Tony/Geezer/Ward full stop.
The Dio Years while brillant on to themselves is a completely different beast.
Ozzy/Sharon will not allow Dio to be included in a Sabbath pin.
Quoted from HarryReimer:Ozzy/Sharon will not allow Dio to be included in a Sabbath pin.
I agree but i dont think Ozzy would even have a say. We all know that Sharon rules that roost lol
Last time I was in New Orleans I stopped in a memmorabila shop in the Quarter...they had a copy of Heaven and Hell signed by Ozzy.
Ozzy was probably drunk or just doesn't care.
Quoted from jhanley:That's a good thing. Sharon is the only reason he's alive.
Agreed.
It would be cool to have a kind of lights out mode where the pin goes dark for a few seconds while playing the beginning of The Writ and then it kicks in with something like the last minute or two of Iron Man for multiball.
1 month later
Yeah
The biting the head of the bat mode will be effin awesone !
No Batman puns okay

Hope a Sabbath game will happen in next few years
It’s proven most rock themes do sell
Maybe Keith can do this justice
3 weeks later
So....................
I'm gonna call it
50 years GOLD for Sabbath !
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sabbath
Bring it on Stern !
Well if Stern is unable to get Sabbath licence
Next best gig will be OZZY !
So many killer tracks !
Will easily go head to head with ACNC
Check out the Awesome Riffs late in this track
Effin' EPIC !
Bring on Sabbath or Ozzy please !
I am a huge Black Sabbath fan and love all of their songs, but I would say Ozzy in his solo years has better music for a pinball machine.
Quoted from thedarkknight77:but I would say Ozzy in his solo years has better music for a pinball machine.
What? couldn't disagree more.
2 years later
20+ songs would be insane.
Someone posted Jack Osbourne was in Chicago not to long ago. Maybe he was checking in with Stern for his Dad? I'm not sure how true that is, but here's to hoping. What else would he be doing in Chicago?
Potential song list (if I had to guess what they choose, I would bet most of the following tracks would be a lock, if this becomes a reality):
N.I.B.
War Pigs
Paranoid
Iron Man
Children of the Grave
Into the Void
Supernaut
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Sabbra Cadabra
Hole in the Sky
Symptom of the Universe
Never Say Die
The opening riffs of Wheels of Confusion would be a good choice for 'game over' tune.
I would love to see the following, but I doubt they'll get selected (unless they decide to go beyond 12 tracks, these would be top choices. (Any of the first four could likely replace Sabbra Cadabra above.)
Sweet Leaf (unless Stern objects.)
Tomorrow's Dream
Snowblind (same situation as Sweet Leaf)
A National Acrobat
Looking for Today (highly doubtful, but it would be so good)
Megalomania (doubtful, but this would make a KILLER multiball track or wizard mode.)
Spiral Architect (another good wizard track.)
All Moving Parts (Gotta have something from Technical Ecstacy)
Shockwave (please!!!)
Loner
I highly doubt we will get any tracks from other line ups so I can only dream. It's too bad Sharon makes the call because most of the following are good upbeat Sabbath tracks for pinball:
Dio Era:
Neon Knights
Heaven & Hell
Die Young
Turn Up the Night
Mob Rules
The Sign of the Southern Cross (wizard mode)
Computer God
TV Crimes
Gillan Era: (Born Again)
Trashed
Zero the Hero
Digital Bitch
Hot Line
Martin Era:
Hard Life to Love
Headless Cross
Devil & Daughter
Danger Zone
There are so many others to select. I have no doubt the song list will be good no matter how they do it. Then again, I'm very biased.
I hope we get a Black Sabbath pin one day. I just added some black Sabbath songs to my iron man using pinball browser. Songs really work really well while playing the game.
Don’t you think they would do a Ozzy solo pin rather than BS .Just saying Ozzy solo was a way bigger seller than sabbath .I would hope they encorporate both but I doubt it
No, absolutely not. Sabbath has a lot more to offer imagery wise, not to mention much better musically. Truth is, ozzy’s solo career has not aged nearly as well as the sabbath stuff. There’s his first two albums and that’s pretty much it. The “Osbournes” reality show fame is WAY in the rear view.
I think for Pinball’s classic rock buyer theme demographic, sabbath would be a much better choice than ozzy solo. There’s unquestionably 5 awesome sabbath/ozzy albums and only two classic ozzy solo albums so do the math.
Quoted from Kkoss24:Those big tours were called Ozfest not sabbath fest
No doubt Ozzy has had a lengthy career but make no mistake, despite all of Sharon's marketing, he is no greater or more important than the other members of that original line up of Sabbath.
Quoted from sunnRAT:No doubt Ozzy has had a lengthy career in the public eye, but make no mistake, despite all of Sharon's marketing, he is no greater or more important than the other members of that original line up of Sabbath.
Oh I agree .I’d take sabbath over solo Ozzy any day .Just saying I think they would go the solo route for a pin .

Black Sabbath
Just sounds way cooler than
Ozzy Osbourne!
I hope it happens someday.
Quoted from Kkoss24:Those big tours were called Ozfest not sabbath fest
Hey just so you know the last couple times I saw ozzy in an arena the place was half full. The last couple times I saw sabbath the places were packed to the gills!!!
I think these days, sabbath really is the biggest draw whether you are talking tours or pinball machines!!!
YES! But first 4 albums only.
ONLY.
Master of Reality wiz mode
So many multiball mode ideas are so easy, game would design itself
Snowblind multiball - White lights and flashers only. And all coils get 25% more power. For 30 seconds.
Call me, Gary
Haha

What!? Henry Rollins, is that you?
'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' is the pinnacle!

Add the Whirlwind fan as a topper and put some coke infront of it to start Snowblind Multiball.
