$200 price increase over GB Pro ... I can handle that.

Im not an Aerosmif guy, but if they commission Dirty Donny to revamp ACDC I'm in!

This game is gonna rule.

Lol @ "grandmothers and ensure" jokes that made up 2,000 previous posts on this game.

Awesome art. Awesome songs.

You people won't be able to help yourselves. Another big hit from stern.

It's almost like they know what they are doing or something. Meanwhile, pinside puts its faith en masse in startup companies Run and staffed by newbies.

they still take forever to code them no matter who does the code. some obviously take much longer than others. its a crime.

Art looks great. Song selection makes sense, too. Looks like another winner (especially with Lyman on code).

It's a crime?

Yeah I'm sure the Feds will get right on that.

More "throw-backy" pin art than Metallica and besides their faces in the middle it looks pretty damn good.

If you hate the way it looks...well shit I don't know what you were expecting from a group of dudes famous for being ugly.

This is a dream come true.

your such a dbag keyboard warrior. see ya in brooklyn

I'm sold on the look of the Stern LCD would love it to be a little wider in ratio, but overall on this game and batman 66 the screen setup looks great, plus leaves room for a backglass. I think this is the right size as opposed to the 23 inch JJP and highway (optional) setup.

Funny thing is Stern can price the Pro at $6500 and as long as they feature packed people will be throwing money there way and think it's a bargain after the Dialled in Pricing and Batmann 66 pricing.

Sort of like every pinball manufacturer today?

Oh well ... TWD,Met,AC/DC ... they turned out just ok I guess. I can wait.

stern loves youse guys. keep drinking the koolaide

I think the koolaide comes right out of Gary and right down your throat. At least it did when you your TWD, MET, Tron, GB, KISS, GOT

ignore you libby

Just saw the book in person.....its a homerun in the art department....looks amazing, colors are crazy good, backglass is killer. Song titles are on the playfield if someone can post a close up.

Gotta agree with Crazy.

This game could have gone two ways ... new Aerosmith (ergggg) or 1970s cool as f**k Aerosmith and that's the way they've gone. Albeit with a newer song as well.

Art work looks stunning, and they've picked some cool tunes for it too.

Congratulations are due all round with this one, with what we've seen so far. Headed in the right direction.

JJP would name this "DREAM ON!"

Toys in The Attic
Love in an Elevator
Rats in the Cellar
Dude Looks Like a Lady
Back in the Saddle
Sweet Emotion
Walk This Way
Same Old Song and Dance
Last Child

Not a bad song list all things considered.

I like it!! Dirty Donny's art is perfect for pinball!

DD Artwork is a lot better than some of the recent designs that we have seen lately from various titles.
But as we know by now Haters are gonna' Hate ....

yeah my fucked up ghosted gble was the last straw. my last few pins:
pinbot
tz
blackhole
south park
no more stern nib for me until things improve. no more koolaide for me
nice research btw. no life?

Umm...it took me 1 click. Drink up drinky.

i break the law
ignore ..........

haha...classic pinside keyboard warrior.

Wow, that looks pretty fantastic and that song list looks great as well. I just went from "not at all interested" to a potential buyer, especially if Lyman is on the Code.

Which has me thinking, is Lyman just coding every stern game these days? I sure hope so.

Art work resembles Pabst pinball a bit.

Doubtful. He'll just swoop in after nothing gets down forever and try to fix them

Art is great....who cares. It's still Aerosmith, it's still stuff I don't ever want to hear in my own home, much less at the arcade where I'm actually paying MORE money to play pinball. Blech. It would have to have a truly unique playfield to get me interested at this point, no thanks.

Funny, same thing tons of people, including me, would say aboot Metallica's god awful music...but awesome machine.

Wow, better than I expected for what I though would be Sterns next WWE. Great timing on Gary's part too. Go for the jugular with a second beautiful game reveal while JJP is still shocked at the poor reception of their Dialed In game. Kapow indeed!

I think this kind of game would be more suited to bars than home or arcades. Because I don't want to get sick of another band that at one time was one of the best bands out there.

But in a bar setting, you can get drunk, play some Aerosmith or what have you, and when you wake up it's not going to be there staring you in the face. Unless of course you work at the bar, but those that work there are probably already used to that kind of thing.

Like you though, I can't see buying one for my home. I would like to play one in a bar though or somebody elses house.

My guess - priced like the old premium

Art looks great, should have done acdc like this too, hopefully it will be like metallica, dont care for the band but looks and plays well

Needs "kings and Queens" instead of love in an elevator

I had reservations about Metallica. A lot. You can ask my wife, Quiddity. I really did not want to like the game. And I can tell you, in light of AC/DC and Metallica, why I probably will not like Aerosmith.

#1. The most important part... I was at least a little open to Metallica and AC/DC. Their songs are all overplayed but not ear grating, and I still come back to them every few weeks or every few months. Aerosmith? I haven't EVER. EVER. ******EVERRRRRRRRRR****** voluntarily chosen to listen to that dreck. It's not my thing.

#2. You can already tell from the inserts this game is "Songs-as-a-Mode" not "Songs-as-a-background-in-a-band-themed-game" . Metallica, and to a much lesser extent, KISS, were the latter. AC/DC, GNR, Rolling Stones are the former. Out of the former, AC/DC was the first one with good rules and a shot layout to match, IMO. Yes, KISS uses songs as "modes" but the goals are not really to FINISH those modes and start the next one (like AC/DC) in order to get to the wizard mode. You can pick a mode in KISS and not worry that you're totally effing up your point values, unlike AC/DC. AC/DC is the **ONLY** "songs-as-a-mode" music pin that I enjoy playing. All the rest of them can go die in a fire. I don't like them. I don't like being forced into playing songs that make me want to stab my ears with an icepick to advance. KISS did a wonderful job in the rules of skirting around that issue.

I'm glad you can look past these things. I can't. Not with my limited income and space. I'm sure I'll be forced into playing this thing at Texas Pinball Festival or my local arcade, Nickelrama, however! I don't doubt that Borg can deliver a fun layout, or that Lyman can code appropriate rules, but my problem is if it's not AC/DC risk-reward type rules, if it's small fish until you get to the wizard mode type advancement, or these modes take too long to clear out and move on... I'm going to have little to no interest in playing it, ever.

I've only ever bought one pin just on art alone, and that was Crescendo. Didn't buy the game for anything but the backglass, but it grew on me rapidly. I'm just glad I like playing the thing, because there was really way too much work put into it for it to have sucked.

Let me guess.... LE is $9k... premium is $7800 (distributors will sell for $7400). And the pro will be stripped down sold out of Costco for $4k.

Nice job on the artwork but I just vomited in my mouth thinking this shitty old fart band pinball will be a reality soon. Man, what an upset.

I'm guessing that street prices will be more like:

PRO $5195
PREMIUM $6895
LE $8195

This takes into account Stern's price increase that will supposedly be applied.

I love the cabinet art and colors.

Ah I'll give you that one for sure...that really helped me love metallica whilst hating the music.

What the fucking hell, where is "I dont want to miss a thing"????? It better be the wizard mode.

Looks fkn good

Just what I want during a wizard mode...a song that's going to put me to sleep instead of get my pulse going. =\

Such elementary price increase strategy. Don't raise it ALL at once...You increase it slightly lil' by lil'....it makes the increase much less shocking. That's why people pay 6800 for a premium now. Five years ago "NO WAY MAN....". Now: "well, guess I can make it work..."

Man, they SO know what they're doing, and people keep forking it over.

HAHA...now THAT's funny

Not Lyman. Taino, Waison etc..,

Does this mean that maybe, just maybe, an Iron Maiden pin will be made?

Substitute Mama Kin for Last Child.

Really ........ Show some decent art on a ok theme with nothing else but a empty playfield , cab and backglass and now all the sudden this pin is awesome and the one to get ....lmao . These games are meant to be played and enjoyed with nice toys, lightning ,ramps,, playfield layout and things like that not sit and look pretty . Sure its nice to have cool art but thats like 10 percent of the experience . If you want art go buy a painting lol

Left in the bin where it belongs.
