Nothing is crazy. If it makes you and the wife happy.

LTG : )

I really enjoy the game style of AS over Metallica's light CIU over and over
I also like that each song on AS is a mode and that you work your way to one of two wizard modes
Both games look great and have some cool toys (especially Metallica), but AS has jacky which beats anything on Metallica
Also love Sterns new colour LCD screen, way better than anything else
So in conclusion AS Pro all the way

I sold my MET pro today and Im already missing it, its a void that AS cant fill...

Yes
Crazy

Btw... how do you get the grave maker to rise on the Pro?

I own both. I've had met pro since it came out but never really played much til code was complete. I laughed at the thought of an aerosmith pin and never could've imagined owning one. Well I do now and have to say I love it....but met pro is something really special and for me there is no other. Bolted to the floor til the end. Cranks on all cylinders for me. AS is a lot of fun and is the full package but met is way faster and delivers way more adrenaline(for me). That said AS has earned a spot in my line up without question and if the code matures as met did it may be bolted down also.

I would do it.

What is interesting to me about AS is the mix of folks who have bought it that I know. A few have played at my house and decided to get one. I know a newbie who played mine ended up getting it as his first pin. I know tournament guys who got AS. A couple of guys who have been around pinball for 20 years who have diverse collections love AS and one said it is the most fun pinball he has ever played.

I agree on the fun part. AS is just a blast.

MET is a great game. I could not do it due to the music though. They made a ton of Met's though and if you miss it get it back later.

Metallica might be the better game, but if you've had it for a while it's not crazy at all to swap it out for Aerosmith.

It's not like you are taking a gamble. You guys seem to really enjoy AS. But It! That is what this hobby is all about. If it grows old sell it and get Metallica again. But buy what makes you guys happy. Don't listen to other people when you have played the game and really enjoy it.
Good luck with your decision. Enjoy!

You are not crazy for wanting to own an AS. You should always get what you and/or the wife enjoy playing, regardless of others opinions. But you are crazy for thinking AS is better than MET.

AS is the better game... just worse band.

No AS is plenty fun, I also have Met they are different in many ways.

Go for it. Also owned mustang close to 2 years really liked that as well. Guests play as over met.

My wife doesn't play much at all but likes as.

I have recently realized that in my reality no game is a "forever keeper." So send out a game and get your AS!!! And when that next game starts whispering to you, out with the old and in with the new. Let's face it - games can get stale in a small collection so rotation is required. That keeps your interest in the hobby active. As I see it, you either have a collection of 24-36 games or you keep it under 10 games and rotate 'em.

I own both MET (premium) and AS (premium). They are both great games in their own way and I won't be getting rid of either anytime soon. MET is hubby's (I got it for him for his birthday in 2013) and AS is mine.
If you get the AS and already have MET and are planning to keep both for a bit...You will see they are both different and both worthy of the "love" they get.

I sold metallic a couple months ago. Miss it badly. I've played AS at a couple different places. I liked it, but I would take Metallic over it any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Perfectly said.
I own both.
But unless Aerosmith gets the same code polish that Metallica received, Metallica will continue to be the better Game.
Not that Aerosmith has bad code, it is good, just not great.

The more I played AS the less I enjoyed it. MET is one of very few pins I'd say are lifetime keepers. Any pin does get stale, but MET is so special.

I've owned both. Found AS to get extremely boring. Metallica is a much better game and has much better staying power.

if it was that good then why sell it?

the question of this thread is more generated from people in general overrating Met i think. Is it a great pin? sure, but its not as great as its made out. I personally feel aerosmith is easily the far superior title. All our own tastes but. I owned Met for a good year and got so tired of it. Will never be in my collection again.

A great pin but its also got to be up there with the most overrated also.

Sell Big Hurt or Wipeout to make space and get AS; keep MET.

If you want to try changing things up, go into the settings on MET and set it to only require 5 of each item to light CIU. I do that on mine sometimes, and it’s blast for multiplayer, because all of a sudden folks are hitting CIUs much more frequently, and it becomes a viable head to head strategy. After a month or so, set it back to normal.

AS is good fun, but MET is a classic that will stand the test of time, imo.
