Quoted from herbertbsharp:Borg in back & Metallica under
Oh well, damn! There we go. That Metallica font is pretty horrible though. What's that from?
Quoted from flashburn:That Metallica font is pretty horrible though
Yeah, that font sucks!
Quoted from BackFlipper:That is it. I guess these will be the first custom plungers.
Ouch!
Quoted from herbertbsharp:Yeah, that font sucks!
It's okay though. I'm sure that entire picture isn't on the playfield or anything. Just Stern using it as a teaser.

Could that be cabinet artwork? Why would Stern have a custom poster?

Of course, stern wouldn't just take a pre-done pic and drop it on a PF....
Quoted from BackFlipper:Could that be cabinet artwork? Why would Stern have a custom poster?
It clearly isn't custom. Herbert found it online obviously.
Herbert, where did you find that at? Did Pushead do it?
Quoted from calvin12:Of course, stern wouldn't just take a pre-done pic and drop it on a PF....
Haha fair enough, but that definitely isn't a pic of the playfield art.
Quoted from flashburn:Herbert, where did you find that at? Did Pushead do it?
I have no idea. I saw the blower in the pic, so I just google image searched 'metallica hotrod poster'
NB
Quoted from shock_me:why wouldnt' they? Maybe not on the playfield, but here's the TRON dvd cover, looks familiar
That was obviously sarcasm. They've done it many times in recent history.
Did someone have the poster at home and put two Xmen figures on top of the poster and took a pic?
I doubt Stern would drop a clue like this.
Quoted from loren3233:Did someone have the poster at home and put two Xmen figures on top of the poster and took a pic?

That is on Stern's Facebook page. It is in a contest to win those two signed Borg figures from X-Men. This is clearly a Stern clue.

Gotcha....I hope that isn't the cab art OR playfield art...it looks terrible.
Quoted from shock_me:Of course, stern wouldn't just take a pre-done pic and drop it on a PF
why wouldnt' they?
This is the first time they should, so i'm guessing they won't. 
That art is apparently by "Lil Daddy" Roth, son of Ed Roth of Rat Fink fame, in keeping with the hot rod theme of the song Fuel. Not Pushead and I seriously doubt it will have any place on the game. It's a pretty obscure piece of art from Metallica history.

Interesting, thanks for the back story. I agree, it won't be a part of the game. It's just Stern being tricky.
Yes but drum roll............................
Lyman Sheets is doing the code for Metallica!!!!!!!
So who is doing Ritchie's game? - Lonnie or Waison
Quoted from BackFlipper:Do you recognize this image that the toys are sitting on?
Now wait a minute! Didn't we get a STR hint way before we got this Metallica one?
Quoted from PW79:Hope the code is fairly polished & the "Pro" is good because incomplete LE's are just too rich for my blood.
I'm hoping for a Premium for those that don't want to go putting 7K+ on a pin. That said, I would need to play it first for some pins I prefer the Pro over the LE. I love it when that happens. 
Quoted from musketd:Lyman is doing all the code for metallica hells yeah
sorry Star Trek fans
Someone said Ritchie confirmed Lyman is working on Star Trek. Either someone is fibbing about Metallica or Lyman has his hands in every game... What is it?

Who confirmed Lyman on ST ?
All I know is Lyman IS doing Borg's pin and he is getting one for his collection, that speaks volumes. Press release in 3 weeks.
I have head from someone at Stern that Lyman is doing code on Metallica.
That doesn't mean that he won't have plenty of time to help and/or lead Star Trek in the many months between Metallica shipping (April? May?) and Star Trek.
Given how amazing the ACDC software is, it would be silly to think that they wouldn't want Lyman on the next music pin.
Quoted from mnpinball:Who confirmed Lyman on ST ?
Sounds like it was Ritchie at TPF.
Quoted from bobbyconover:That art is apparently by "Lil Daddy" Roth, son of Ed Roth of Rat Fink fame
I grew up with the magnificent art of Ed Roth and Robin Williams.
Even had the model kit.

4 months ago Lyman told me he was not assigned to a project at the time, making me think he was not working on the very next game (Metallica), but was in line for the following game (ST) since these are 1 year projects, but I could have assumed too much.
Now in the past couple weeks a few typically in the know say he is on Metallica, Ritchie says he is on Star Trek, and I also heard that he helped a bit on this latest XM code... so it sounds like a lot of rumor or he may be tasked with both of the next two games, which puts it into question how much involvement on each. Either way, I think it's the right move to keep Lyman involved in all games at some level after the XM fiasco.
Quoted from krupa:Sounds like it was Ritchie at TPF.
I'd like specifics, what percentage 10%, 25%, 75% involvement ? I know it's minority, not majority.
Lyman is majority lead coder on Metallica. So what are the other programmers gonna do, twiddle their flipper fingers ? It doesn't add up.
I'm gonna stop now, not hype it. History shows a non hype = a killer pin. 
AC/DC was not hyped until release. BIBLE for me pre-preorder.
Powerball = poo
Quoted from TheLaw:Looks like shit, which fits the theme.
Happy for you fans, just hope I don;t have to play it.
I feel the same way about Star Trek.
