Quoted from dontpanicflip:Bands that would make a better pin and likely sell better (imho): Beastie Boys, Queen, Skrillex/Knife-Party, Michael Jackson, Red Hot Chili Peppers, LED Zeppelin, Rush, Linkin Park.
Then go start another thread about those bands.
Quoted from CafeOne:I asked Gary Stern after Maiden was official that I would love if they made a Megadeth (not sure if he knows who they are or not) , my favorite band of all time! Definitely would be my dream theme!! Ed Repka's art packages were awesome (the singles even more so than the LP covers). Zombie Yeti would do it right for sure.
Holy shit that takes me back. The cassette single art was the sickest back then and still is.
Hopefully the LE includes an autograph from Dave Mustaine that rubs off when you remove the glass like Stern’s Wrestlemania.
Quoted from PW79:The best music theme for pinball = GWAR
You know it
I know it
We all know it
Maggots Multiball!
Lets get freaky and have Cannibol Corpse pin with clips from the Cannibol Holocaust film playing.....
Quoted from Gryszzz:I'd be in. As a lifelong metal head, I don't think you can have a conversation about the greatest metal album of all time without involving Rust in Peace.
My favorite of them all... not a bad song
Quoted from rotordave:The Conjuring movie was based off the actual Ed Warren taped recordings of Lorraine Perron, and the book written by one of the Perron daughters who lived in that house where the events took place.
The only issue with a Megadeth pin —
No way the backglass is wide enough to fit all the members who have been in the band! Theres been 100s of them!
rd
The pf could like a Where's Waldo book!
Quoted from CafeOne:I seem to recall a recent release that was said to be a theme that would sell very poorly as well...
You are comparing Maiden to Megadeth???? The silly people on these message boards amaze me.
Quoted from Magic_Mike:Problem is, Dave Mustaine is now a born again Christian and doesn't perform his Satanic songs anymore.
Which means that all of Megadeth's best material wouldn't be in the game.
All?
You're discounting a lot of material post Peace - SFSGSW, RIP and Countdown. Hell, I like most of their catalog post Countdown... even Risk; SuperCollider was a dud but the followup "Dystopia" made up for it.
Anything with the lineup of Marty Friedman and Nick Menza (apex lineup to me), I'm down for...
Quoted from thedarkknight77:You are comparing Maiden to Megadeth???? The silly people on these message boards amaze me.
And why not??? Could be a topic of discussion here.
Megadeth>>>Iron Maiden IMO. My favorite metal band of all time. All the possibilities with Vic Rattlehead art and shredding music would make for a great pinball machine. Dave knows what music the fans want and I’m sure it wouldn’t disappoint. DO IT STERN!!!!
Yes, Slayer is my musical dream theme but Megadeth with songs entirely from Peace and Rust would be great or mostly would do just fine. Take no Prisoners? made for pinball.
Quoted from thedarkknight77:You are comparing Maiden to Megadeth???? The silly people on these message boards amaze me.
Yes I am as far as pinball themes go. There were many naysayers that Iron Maiden wasn't popular enough of a band, and now after playing it I see a lot of people saying although I wasn't familiar with , or don't really care for Iron Maiden the game is great. I believe it is selling reasonably well.
If you base interest in theme on album sales Iron Maiden has 100 million worldwide, Megadeth is 38 million , Slayer shows 15-20 million.
(ACDC 200 mil, Metallica 125 mil, Aerosmith 150 mil). So it appears they are hitting a smaller market with each release.
I think that is arguably a large enough fan base to merit a theme for a pinball. They have an iconic mascot and artwork in Vic, they are considered one of the founders of thrash metal, and let's face it, rock and roll and pinball mix very well.
There are definitely artists otherwise that would be deserving of a theme , but perhaps not as accessible, and in my opinion many whose music wouldn't jive too well with a game as fast as pinball.
Anywho, I'd be in on an LE.

Like silly people who think only their opinion matters? Those people?????????
Quoted from Hazoff:Yes, Slayer is my musical dream theme but Megadeth with songs entirely from Peace and Rust would be great or mostly would do just fine. Take no Prisoners? made for pinball.
This version is no where near as good as the original. I guess this is a re-issue? LOVE the band, LOVE the song and album, but this isn't good to my ears at all.
Quoted from cscmtp:I guess this is a re-issue?
I have no idea, I just took the first one from the you tube list surely theres the og on there somewhere. Either way great song. 
I have no problem with this idea moving forward... as long as at some point the machine says "HELLO ME, MEET THE REAL ME!" 
Quoted from cscmtp:Man Nick Menza was such a beast. I miss him so much.
Dude could bend those guitar notes like no other. Hangar 18 would be so different without him.
Quoted from Hazoff:Yes, Slayer is my musical dream theme but Megadeth with songs entirely from Peace and Rust would be great or mostly would do just fine. Take no Prisoners? made for pinball.
Perhaps change "Holy Wars" to "Pinball wars"..

I have to say, I would have never thought they had over 38 million in album sales. Obviously a far cry for Maiden, but still very impressive. Let’s face it, pinball is a crap shoot as far as themes goes. We are a niche community and game play matters a lot, but as someone who listens to both bands, I would say with 100% confidence that Iron Maiden has a higher likelihood of converting pinball fans than Megadeth.
Quoted from attitude05:I cannot buy another music pan. My wife is holding out for the Beatles.
I wish my wife cared about pinball
Quoted from Gryszzz:Anybody else see Megadeth open for Maiden?
My favorite bill of the last 10 years easy.
Sounds sweet. I missed it. I did get to see the Suicidal Tendencies open for Slayer which was awesome and I got to see Metallica open for Ozzy when they were on the Master of Puppets tour.

Gotta have "Hangar 18" and "Angry Again" in there.
Quoted from sunnRAT:More

Honorable mentions. 
They have far more than that, but those are my top 10 favorites of all time.

One of my all time favorite shows was in ‘92 when STP opened for Megadeth in Asheville Civic Center (small venue) and I was front row. Caught a black Megadeth wristband from Dave that stayed on my drum kit’s high hat for decades.
Need a few songs off the new album
Dystopia
Last Dying Wish
Rattlehead
Wake Up Dead
The Conjuring
Peace Sells
In My Darkest Hour
Hook in Mouth
Holy Wars
Take No Prisoners
Five Magics
High Speed Dirt
This machine could be so awesome. Gary, talk Dave Mustsine and I’m sure he would be down to make this game!!!
Pinside general consensus about Metallica and Iron Maiden said no one would buy the pins.
Reality is those 2 pins were the fastest sold out LE’s of any.
Seems like Slayer would be a go, specially since guys in the band like pinball. And they license a ton of stuff.
Megadeth is ranked 3rd of the big 4 metal bands... Metallica obviously sold.. if Slayer sells, then I would say Megadeth for sure.
So far all the successful pins have been 80’s bands on the heavier spectrum. And all band are/were currently touring. AC/DC being the lightest metal to be successful so far.
Kiss, Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, all older, all lighter rock... all failed miserably.
If I was choosing bands to do, I’d stick to stuff that’s selling...

That tour was my first 'Deth concert @ Normal, Il.
My favorite: '95 Youthanasia tour in Chicago. Had front row there, buddy nabbed a drumstick from Menza. Ironic, since he's a drummer too.
