Quoted from Pinstym:
Can't wait for the new GnR. Hopefully we get Frank Ferrer, Melissa Reese, and Richard Fortus all represented in the backglass art. I wonder if they'll go with a braided Axl, braided and fat Axl, or just fat Axl. Bloated Slash should be totally RnR.
Definitely looking forward to hearing all the great tunes they've recorded since 1995. Should be cool hearing all that over and over through a fancy new sound system.
Staring at $9500 maybe?
LOL, pretty much.
GNR is a perennial favorite of mine, but you really nailed it. Nobody really cares about anything after UYI2; hell, I remember when Chinese Democracy FINALLY came out, and there wasn't even a buzz over it. I remember hearing a song or two on the radio, and that was the end of the hype for it. Hell, when I saw them the last tour, I think they may have played a single song released after '94. (For the record, the concert was awesome, show was three hours long and they played probably 40 songs, one after the other, after the other, after the other!)
As for the pin, it's a classic. Simple to understand, packed with shots and features. Good modes and even scoring. Great sounds, good dots. Satisfying shots. The only thing I yearn for would be the ability to stack modes and multiball. (Coma doesn't really count, as it sort of runs in the background if your sixth shot to the band saucer corresponds with starting coma...).
If JJP drops a new GNR, I'm not really sure what direction they would take. I like the games, but they just don't connect with me, if that makes sense. I've played the hell out of WOZ and DI, and I just never feel connected to them. I played WW this past weekend at the NYCPC, and it just felt too kiddie for me. I really like the movie and all, but "Kid Multiball"? Really? The whole thing just seems weird. Based on the previous games, a "new" GNR would probably be a pass for me. We'll see.
Now back to shouting at clouds and telling kids to get off my lawn.
