my fav was kirk saying something like "That snake has a weird diet". I only remember hearing it once I think after multiball or a snake lock or something. Dunno why but it cracked me up. I actually like alot of the snake callouts, probably because they're so ridiculous.

The snake owes me money!

In this specific instance, I'd take zero over what we do have. It's not enough to affect my enjoyment of the game though, so I hope people aren't taking my criticisms and blowing out of proportion.

The snake must have bought some of his art collection at the auction and not paid up ....

Cursed snake!

Quite cool when you keep slamming shots in Snake Multiball. The Snake can't speak fast enough to keep up

Jaaaaaaaaaackpot. Jaaaaaaaaackpot. Jaaaaaaaaaackpot.

rd.

sure your coils aren't set on "soft"? ever stop to think some people are just better at certain games than others? even better than you?

i think johnny will explode first.

Always hated their music. Went to BRs and played his totally Moded Met pro, bought it on the spot. Great pin! Thanks for his great work Blinging this out.

Check your PM man!

I've played a bunch the last couple weeks on location and really like the game. I understand the complaints from people who don't like the fan layout, but it's always worked well for me. Still don't understand all the rules, but it plays fast which goes great with the music. The artwork is some of the best on a pinball machine in some time.

Little strapped for space until I move out to the suburbs, but this will definitely be on my buy list when I do open up some room.

I just played a premium last night and it as fast as all hell. I had a couple of times where the ball got past my flippers without me knowing it and the ball hit the apron and came back on the playfield it hit so hard/fast. It made the acdcltbr seem slow. Pretty cool game, needs some polish, of course. It's got potential, for sure. sparky intro to multiball is pretty cool.

I love reading through threads like this. There is a whole lot of kettle black going on, anyone else notice? hhhmmmmm... agenda? Who here sells games as well as pumping them up to be the greatest ever before anyone has played one? The rating system is as failed as the thread jumping system.

I don't have exact statistics, but I've seen a lot of Lazarus balls on Metallica (the Pro), and have had a number of my own. I'd say at least half of my games have had a Lazarus ball or two. I wonder why?

Plastic apron

Yup. Ball rebounds way harder off the plastic. Happens on my Tron Pro a lot too.

premiums have plastic aprons?

They do now. The cheapening(tm) continues

No they don't unless something changed in the last couple weeks

Can tell for a fact that Acdc premium has à plastic apron. Reasonable safe to assume same applies for Metallica premium

I have a buddy with both a Met Premium and ACDC Premium. The Met has a metal apron and the ACDC has a plastic apron.

I have a premium and it has a metal apron...They still bounce up alot, I think it is because of the way they have the flippers offset.

The Metallica LE has a metal apron, but I was just assuming that the Pro had a plastic apron. My assumption proved faulty and exposed an untruth. The Libelnami will hopefully not wash me out to sea.

But hey, at least it gave metallik a chance to dick kick Stern! Even though you substituted Premium for Pro in your post, no one else noticed. You win. 1 to nothing.

To me Metallica is a great game. Best Borg game ever for sure.

i shouldn't have posted a premium review in a thread with met pro tagged, i guess. I wasn't about to start another friggin' "I played game X" thread as that's what the reviews are for. thought i'd try to put my two cents about speed in an existing thread. oops.

Even my wife Loves our Metallica LE. Her other favorites are Addams Family and Twilight Zone. Metallica is a fun game for all and the music fits pinball. I can't wait for the new code.

I honestly hadn't noticed, until the trash talk started and I realized mine had a metal apron.

Same here!

I cant wait to see the nect Stern now...
I was anti-stern before Acdc now with
MetallicA its gone to another level...keep
pinball Alive Stern.

Even AC/DC LE has a plastic apron (but clear red like TFLE). There's no formula...this varies from game to game. Avengers LE has a metal apron w/ light up windows, but Prem has plastic. Metallica LE & Prem have metal w/ light up windows.

It did. Didn't think about the differences in elasticity between metal and plastic. Thanks!

I just played the pro? (the one with the picture of the band, not that terrible cartoon BS) and really like it. the machine was set up a little slow and leaned to the left, but made it a little easier so i could at least get a good game going. really nice layout, LOVE the metal ramps, inline drop targets and the ball lock. the lighting also stuck out as being pretty good. was able to get three of the multiballs going. the orbit wasn't working but i think that's how it was designed. not a huge metallica fan, but the music goes well with the game.

Just out of curiosity, what about SM, TSPP, IM, or LOTR didn't win you over where AC/DC and Metallica did?

Sounds like the Road Case Premium.

The cheap plastic before ...even on Acdc the dancing band Pfff!
The Simpson toys that comes from Walmart...

It looks like they are getting into custom stuff and left the plastic aside!

Hmm, I've never heard those games described as cheap before, aside from IM. They have every bit as much as a Bally/Williams game. Heck, AC/DC has more than Metallica does. I'd not call either cheap.

I guess perception is a funny thing though.

I don't mind the plastic at all..

There's actually a lot in ACDC, especially with family mode off and insult level set to high.

Well I don't care about the plastic vs metal apron. I like the wire forms and appreciate pre drilling for the shaker. I find the Pro to be a sick game.
By the way play this game "Baked". Its friggin crazy : )
