    because what the pin world really needs is a pin themed for a band that hasn't existed for over 20 years*...

    i LOVE queen... i'm also a middle aged guy...

    really want to get the young 'uns into pinball by use of a music theme? try some hip hop stuff or dubstep... that's what they listen to, not bands that middle aged guys remember from the days back when we were young and dumb and full of, ummm, well, ya know...

    * without freddie there was a band named "queen"... but they aren't QUEEN...

    edit: fixed by spelling it right, dammit, watched too much prez cup today..,

    i too would buy rush sight unseen, and it would be my first (and likely only) modern pin... sign me up today for the super duper le model please...

    at least they still exist... and one can only imagine the, ummm, "discussions" on pinside about what stern did wrong in choosing what they put in and what they left out...

    Quoted from Aussiepinwiz:

    Perhaps you don't know many 15 year olds?
    Every 15 year old who goes to big sporting events knows that when "We Will Rock You" is played, it's Queen. Then when "We are the champions" is played, after their team wins, they know it's Queen.
    Mention "Bohemian Rhapsody" to any 15 year old and they will start singing the song, and shaking their heads head-banger style by the song's crescendo.
    15 year olds have downloaded millions of Queen songs via iTunes, world-wide.
    They represent a unique generation that enjoys the same music as their parents' enjoyed & still love.

    perhaps you are projecting your "want" onto 15 year olds?

    you are tossing out unsupported "data" (data used VERY VERY loosely) in a desire to convince others...

    you'd be much better off trying to make the case for a queen pin without trying to convince people that 15 year olds would flock to it because of the theme... that dog won't hunt...
