A 45 year old band or a 50 year old TV show. Hmmmm...
I can think of better things to do with my money.
Quoted from TigerLaw:I know it's early but holy crap, I'm the first one to vote for BM66?
Appears that way TL............ Cant wait to watch the classifieds over the next few months.

I'm sure BM66 having no pro will hamper it quite a bit. If I have to choose one I have to go with Aero as I'm not a premium+ buyer.
( being a refake cash grab probably won't endear it much either)
Neither for me for a long time. I will wait and see and might buy used when the code is done.
Based on what I've seen so far I would pick Aerosmith, though with Lyman on the code on Batman it will most likely end up the better game.
AS looks more fun.
If only Lyman were coding it......
Will wait until code is done before even thinking of buying a pro.

Aerosmith soundtrack versus Na-na-na-nana-nana-nanana-na-nanana It's a bright sunny day in downtown Gotham City? 
My first thought when viewing Aerosmith was its crushes BM66. And even though Aerosmith looks like a rehash of IJ4 or KISS at least they tried to disguise it better than BM66. Regardless, let the 2 year wait begin to see if either get abandoned on the way. Does anyone else see it as a slap in the face to KISS owners? So glad I ejected on that game when I did. On sheer principal if Aerosmith gets to a point I would buy, it would be in the secondary market so STERN doesn't get my money..
Quoted from OLDPINGUY:I just picked up a HUO Elvis for 1/2 the cost of these!
Ive got my new Music Pin, and my 60's Nostalgia Pin in one!
Melbourne
Quoted from Rarehero:Elvis has an ugly ass playfield, but is a really fun game!
Elvis needs a VE with real tracks from the Vegas years, oh yeah.
I'm leaning towards Aerosmith. I think I like the artwork better, and the pro or premium/LE both seem to have a little more flow than BM66. Nothing against Batman 66 either, it's also a good looking game.
Sounds like Sparky is hiding there some where in Aerosmith, you hear his voice call outs from time to time in that video.
Quoted from DeathHimself:Sounds like Sparky is hiding there some where in Aerosmith, you hear his voice call outs from time to time in that video.
Yeah, Jacky = Sparky's bro! Same voice actor, Brendan Small.
This is hard as I think the aero layout looks better and the art also but Lonnie Ropp is such a turd at coding games over Lyman. I think I'd have to go with BM66 but it doesn't matter because neither one speaks to me.
Lonnie versus Lyman. Wow super targeted versus stacking and combos. Plus only nine songs. We have Kiss version 2 as far as code goes.

Quoted from hoby1:I would love also to see if 66 votes are people who have bought already. We know this is not the case for Areo votes
Well yeah 
if some has brought a BM66 they have pretty much voted with their wallet, I have a BM66 LE on order and I voted for BM66 because Aerosmith doesn't hold any interest to me at all, however Aerosmith looks awesome and from first impression I cant wait to flip one, but I wouldn't own own one because its Aerosmith.
If we ignore theme then Aerosmith certainly looks to offer more bang for your buck under the glass, but going back to theme BM for me personally BM wins, I know how at least half of the games going to play and the theme is something me and my kids all love and that's always a deciding factor and most important to me.
EDIT: Should be a 4th option on the poll for people who would buy both 
Quoted from TigerLaw:I know it's early but holy crap, I'm the first one to vote for BM66?
Then again, you were the first one to like X-Men. 
Quoted from hoby1:At least we are getting an entirely new game here. Any one can say" it has aspects of this game or that game " but 66 was a direct copy of BDK with enhancements bottom line.
Ehhhh, if you wanna play that game, c'mon...they're both new games that borrow from others. You could argue that B66 is "more new" considering the rules will be entirely original, and it sorta looks like Aero is going to be borrowing rules heavily from Kiss.
Quoted from hoby1:At least we are getting an entirely new game here
Yeah, that's a plus, but then again it's still another music pin. That's not necessarily a bad thing either. Regardless, keep 'em coming. I like seeing multiple titles being released each year, these are exciting times.
Tough call. One has my favorite playfield designer and the other my favorite software designer. AS wins on price, plus has a great art package, plus the ball lock feature is amazing. I vote AS Pro. Hopefully the software/rules will be good.
Quoted from bigd1979:I think the Aerosmith pro offers much better value and game for 3k less... hopefully it gets good code.
Absolutely. The mini playfield on Aerosmith premium / LE seems odd and awkward with the way shots are made on it, not worth it in my opinion.
Quoted from PanzerFreak:Absolutely. The mini playfield on Aerosmith premium / LE seems odd and awkward with the way shots are made on it, not worth it in my opinion.
After seeing gameplay on both I tend to agree that the PRO looks like the the winner IMO. Would have to play first though.
Quoted from hoby1:Theme really................ A bad ass rock band that still cranks shit out, or a B rated tv show from the 60"s. Three seasons vs 47 years of rock. Please theres no horse in the race here....Hands down Aerosmith !!!
Yeah theme is important for me and my kids as we play together at home, my son 5 and my daughter 4 don't really listen to much rock music yet but they sure as shit know who Batman is and my son used to watch the show with my old man, just like I did when I was my sons age so yeah theme my man theme
No denying Aerosmith shit hot (that's real good incase that term isn't used state side 
) especially in Pro form, bang for buck Aerosmith is ahead of Batman in what's under the glass per $$ but games I can play with my kids that they love means more than $$ that's priceless.
Aerosmith for me is a better theme than BM66. And theme rules much for me, as well for most people. Not every one of my pins needs to be a coding masterpiece. Art looks better too though both suit their theme well.
Quoted from o-din:This is a real tough one. Decisions, decisions...
wow looking at those pics adam west looks real good at 88 and steve tyler looks really bad at 68.

Someone that gets it......... We only looks at things from our own perspective. Everyone's situation is different, things relate and have meaning to the individual . Thats what makes pinball fun for all of us. I think Stern has figured how to appeal to the masses by putting out a nice variety of titles and styles
Quoted from docquest:wow looking at those pics adam west looks real good at 88 and steve tyler looks really bad at 68.
Steve Tyler banged more quick last month than Adam West did for the last 88 years.

Adam West has a lot of experience with "Quik"
