What songs or features would you like to see on an upcoming Jimi Hendrix pinball machine? I have heard at one time he jumped out of perfectly good airplanes in the name of freedom.

Here's one of my favorites.

That's the spirit!

Rainbow Bridge was one of the most enlightening movies I ever saw.

Oh, that's cool! Will we see it melts into the sea?

I see somebody's already working up some cool mods for this pin.

I wouldn't mind.

In honor of the El Nino storms that finally started to arrive yesterday, I would like to add Still Raining Still Dreaming to the play list.

Fall mountain, just don't fall on me.

Gotta have Voodoo Chile and Room Full of Mirrors

I think we have a pretty good song list now and I agree with everybody's selections. I've only got one more.

You'll never hear surf music again...

I saw that movie yeaars ago....

We made it to page two without anybody saying this was a bad idea.

Here are some more fun facts-

I heard it was to encourage him to get better. I love surf music. It's in my blood.

Then you would need a place to store GnR.

Oh yeah?

Don't look at me!

For anybody that hasn't seen it yet, the recently released Hendrix movie Electric Church is an outstanding documentary with concert footage from one of his last USA concerts at the Atlanta Pop Festival on July 4 1970. The footage includes great audio quality and includes Hendrix playing the Star Spangled Banner with skyrockets and fireworks going off in the background. Here is Purple Haze from that show.

I was looking for that version of Stone Free before I posted that, but it didn't include the video. Stone Free definitely.

The Hendrix family settled their disputes over licensing recently so now it shouldn't be too dificult.

I was there with some friends watching Rainbow Bridge when I was about 18 at the midnite movies. Still not sure what was on that sugar cube.

Being a teen in the 70s, I always wished I could go back to the 60s and see him and some other bands play. Movies like this were the next best thing.

I wasn't there but the movie Jimi Plays Berkeley shows an intense performance that really pulled a lot of emotion out of the audience.

And this is a funny statement from somebody that has rock pins from bands that are from another time. Neither of which can hold a candle to Hendrix.

Tonite you are welcome to join us for the midnite showing of Jimi Plays Berkeley and this time the snack bar will be open!

Ya know, Hendrix wasn't the only artist from the 60s that I wished I could have seen. I guess I should be happy that I got to see so many great acts from the 70s onward.

I hear ya, but without Hendrix, guitar rock as we know it today might not be the same. Many hard artists and people in general still credit Hendrix as the best of all time. I think Stones would have been a lot better with a different song list as they were also one of the best.

And if you think I'm old Cliff was born a few days after I was. RIP.

What this thread needs is more Jimi. Marty McFly eat your heart out!

Somebody thought it would be a good idea to do that before going to see Rainbow Bridge. Some things change your entire outlook on life permanently. There is no going back now... such was life back in the 70s.

" If you can just get your mind together, then come on across to me.. we'll hold hands and watch the sunrise.. from the bottom of the sea..."

It died like so many fish flopping on the deck..

In honor of the late great Mr. Bowie, I remember watching this song on the radio that night.

You know what's cool though? It's 35 years later now and I don't feel any worse for the wear.. some experiences can prompt positive changes. Like never doing that again!

The last couple hours were the worst...

Post Toasty.

If done right I'd be looking to ad this game to my collection. I wouldn't even need the LSD display.

Blue Boy says the display is a must.

OK. Now that we've got that out of the way.. .. and we are inching closer to release, lets see if we have our song list together and any other things that will help make this the best music pinball machine ever.

Well, we are hoping this one will come from Stern, not CGC.

That would be a fail on my part.

Manic Depression added to the song list.

I see you're back from your trip.

Right!

Looks like we're getting closer.

Getting closer!

Due to the increasing levels of political correctness, and the overall effort in the industry to present games that are more and more family friendly, the new rumor is this game will not evolve around the later Jimi Hedrix Experience years, but instead will be themed about the early years while he was a member of The Isley Brothers.

Also keeping with the current trend of making games that are easy to service by the novice collector, it is also rumored that it will be a single level game similar to the classic Stern Disco, but with modern features like a large Rudolph Isley head that will spit balls back toward the flippers.

I guess we really need to start making a list of our favorite Isley Brothers jams before the decision gets made with out any of our input.

I suppose if there is enough interest it could be Little Richard instead.

Yes

You predicting this. Or perhaps it was you.
