Donkadicklick who are you having a contest with to win "Worst New Pinsider Since it's Inception" cause right now you're blowing them outta the water.

Now we have 2 in this thread.

Come on man.

Hilarious, but I don’t that represents Axl anymore!

When I saw them last fall on the tour, he was in the best form he has probably been in since the 80s. Couldn’t believe how great of a performance he gave, and he was obviously enjoying himself. Not only was he PUNCTUAL, he also took it in stride when they had some technical problem with the piano as he was trying to start “November Rain”; he made a joke, went on to another number, then seamlessly segued back to “November Rain” - amazing professionalism for Axl!

Pretty stoked that JJP is finally doing a music pin. Like Levi said, the "grandpa rock" just works.

I'm ready for them to do one as well, very interested. Don;t really give a shot aboot GNfR but it can sound good in a pin.

Same.
Don't listen to em anymore cause I played em out 30 years ago but a JJP rock pin is a win.

I’m trying to figure out why these guys who hate gnr or isn’t interested in a gnr pin keeps hanging out in a gnr pin thread talking trash. Maybe you guys should leave and go over to the atomic zombie thread or something more up your.....alley. Bring on gnr!!!!!

That is SO not Axl...crazy. Imagine if that happened on the 91 tour lol. He woulda destroyed the whole stage.

Those joke as all been made already , get a life !

It was totally surreal. We were all joking around beforehand that even if they sucked, at least our admission price would get us a “live” performance of an infamous Axl meltdown!

In fact, it ranks high as one if the best concerts I’ve been to (about 1000 total - am older than I’d like to admit). Just a good old-fashioned debauched Rock show: loud (though nothing beats My Bloody Valentine in ‘92), lots of pyro, drunken bare breasts, fat ones being twisted up and passed, etc.

Nope! Fat Axl was funny, I liked him.

BRING IT ON JJP!!

Wish I still had my ticket stub, but pretty sure I pissed on it after Axl was 3 hours late then came out and said "Fuck you Indiana" but he grew up here and I kinda get it now. Didn't then, as I've always been proud of my glorious home state.
Metallica owned their asses that night anyway.

I wonder what JJP will do on their pricing structure....Wonka LE's at $9500 was too high (although I love the game)....selling high Volume LE's at almost $10K a pop is a challenge especially with some folks getting hit with sales tax. They need to compete better on their pricing structure

Good show, Axl was a prime time prick.
$22 bucks was fine then- not sure its a 10-12k commitment now.

Not a big fan of GNR, but I really like the DE pin--may be their best effort. JJP has yet to build a pin I'd want to own, but if GNR is an improvement over the original--which I expect it to be--this will be a very cool game. Looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

Damn it, just take your f’n upvote already!

Man so tired of hearing about GNR coming soon. I'm so over middle aged white-man rock themed pinballs tbh. Talk about JJP playing to the LCD here, I thought Stern had it covered all by themselves well and truly. Best thing about this JJP is it's another I won't have to fork out for.

Kaneda just posted that he has seen video footage of GNR and it’s gonna blow everyone away. He said it’s better than any music pin to date. And the best light show he’s ever seen. I guess we will find out Monday and decide for ourselves. Fun times in the hobby for sure!!

Kaneda is also a MASSIVE GnR fan. So its possible hes just getting his dream theme and is hyping it up with objectivity blinders on. On his podcasts he talks like everyone loves GnR. I happen to, but theres plenty of people who dont love them. Anyways Im excited to see Eric's second effort. Im not a big fan of PotC, but Ill be in the market for another nib soon and would certainly be open to GnR if it looks good.

Totally agree, but it does peak my curiosity for sure.

Looking forward to this reveal and interested to see which way the rules go...pick a band member to start and journey that way...or song based modes with Jackpots(AC/DC). Either way footage on the big screen has me intrigued!

Is it wrong to want some form of Fat Axl in the game? Maybe a hidden chicken dinner mode?

I'd debate that WoZ and Wonka are kiddie themes (kids may find things to like in those movies but they're both pretty dark and sinister), but either way, doing a barroom style pin would be good to change up their image a bit. Pinball always was a barroom game with a beer and cigarette never too far away.

"Mr. Brownstone" better be on it, though!

Great contribution. Move on then.

Whatever you say Mr Dubai elite Sirrrr!

Im hoping that JJP moves away from the static one screen information dump on their LCD. I want them to have more of an immersive adventure with changing visuals and not just clips of concerts. Im sure the playfield will look amazing but I never feel like the animation, ui and modes have a good cohesion.

That being said as an arcade operator that wouldnt stop me if i feel like its a good package

u should try a music pin....just works...fast and furious

Never played one I've ever wanted to own (for the most part), going right back to DE GNR (I hated the quality of DE pins anyway then). I can totally respect the gameplay in Maiden or MET for sure as I've certainly played them and others, but unfortunately not interesting in buying a music theme that I don't like. The one single stand out for me is AC/DC BIBLE as I don't mind ACCA DACCA and I'm a Steve Ritchie fan. I will end up buying one at some stage I have no doubt, just probably not locally as they are nigh on impossible to pry off anyone and the market here has gone Covid irrational at the moment.

Umm, have you ever played hobbit? Define static because no where to be seen in hobbit

By static I meant that it stays on that main screen the majority of the time. The main UI is confusing especially for new players. I disliked all the pop up bash toys, playfield is bare and lacks shots. Honestly hobbit is bottom tier for JJP games for me.

Ive never been a fan with how much JJP games waste a large screen on information dumps. I almost want them to go back to DMD to learn how to keep it simple. Next to Jurassic Park, Deadpool (for the most part i feel they phoned it in on the later modes), for the most part TMNT Every JJP game uses the LCD as a GUI for some windows application and not as a tool to be attractive.

Whatever the next game is, I was in charge, but it was a team effort of 6 programmers.

Yet JJP won all 3 TWIPY's for Best Animations & Display. And that was after my favourite display of The Hobbit.
I guess it's personal taste.

Any speculation on what the "innovation" is going to be on this game? There is a 57 page post as a result of the teaser JJP put out when TMNT was released....not much talk about it any more.

Now we have this 3 times. Plenty of other races listen to RnR and Metal.

Kaneda can't be trusted. If he's seen something others haven't, he's hyping it up in his own head, and therefor towards us as well. I must say I like Wonka as a game, but the way he overhyped it before most had seen the game, was really very strange. I do really look forward to seeing gameplay of Guns 'n Roses, I believe Kaneda if he says the lightshow is good, I do think that JJP will make a great game, and I think they may produce the best music pin to date, but I wouldn't base that all just on Kaneda's judgement after he's felt like he is the only kid that was allowed in the candystore.

I do agree on your last 2 sentences!

I think it'll be a great game, but there'll also be people who will be disappointed because they're missing x or were hoping for y, etc.

Really excited for this game to come out this years and I think is also important that they will have games ready to go and boxed. Well, I hear that they will have some ready to go and it wont be a 5 - 6 month wait for games to be shipped out. Those wanting a GNR LE or GNR CE by Christmas is going to be real this year and makes for something that we all really need this year, especially in this crazy world that we ALL are in right now.

I am happy for Eric (he really is ahead of his time) and I really want to give praise to everyone at JJP and the team involved in this project. It really is a team effort to bring one of these games to life and I really do believe that this game will being taking JJP to the next level.

One thing I have always love about JJP is that their quality and talent that surrounds the company.

Wonder if they powder coated the door for the GNR CE (lol)?

I actually like the Artwork!

-- there are different shades of brown that I am seeing through out the playfield
-- the wood grain looks awesome for this game
-- NO DIMPLES - Opps I see a few.
-- and think about all the wax that you will be saving on this game - LOVE IT (great idea).

Weird coincidence....literally sitting here listening to The Long Goodbye and read your post.

Maybe the dumbest statement I have read on Pinside.
Music is subjective ... everybody has their own preferences

I liked Maiden but was not what you would call a fan .. but I love the pin, so eagerly looking forward to GNR
Music pins fit so nicely with pinball

Paradise city buffet frenzy. Ribeye mega jackpot. Rotisserie chicken mini jackpot. Chocolate fountain add a ball. All targets score 500,000.

Paradise city sounds like the name of a buffet anyway

100%. I was totally not a maiden fan until the pin. Now I own a couple albums. Gnr is played out for me..... maybe the pin will rekindle my like for them.

Looks like it'll have a Star Trek upper flipper back to the shooter lane feature?

You Are Killing me.....those 2 pics of AXL with the comments are funnier than Hell....

THANKS FOR THE MORNING LAUGH!!!!!!!

Four thread ejects so far. This game gettin' everyone hot under the collar....

Well I was the first guy playing Daft Punk to the rock kids... and everybody did think I was crazy.

Better watch ,what you say

YES!

I'm sure it will be a great , if you love the band .
The only thing that I can see that would put a little dampener on it , is if they're all live concert songs and not the original studio recordings .
