Quoted from KISS73:This is the 50 anniversary of the band. It's time for their pinball machine. What do you think?
Pass.
If it's not a 60 or 70 year old band that has been defunct for over 40 years. I'm not interested.

Quoted from TheLaw:The ones not famously done by famous people before them is were I draw the line.
It would be just like imdn then. No songs from the first two albums.
Seriously though, waking up and seeing another thread about another game from another band that I haven't cared about since the 70s, and who really haven't done much of anything since then, makes me wonder what kind of hobby I've signed up for.
Although it has become par for the course over the last few years, it still makes me chuckle a little each time it happens.
Quoted from Guinnesstime:Besides John Lee Hooker, who was the best of the best as far as blues, nearly EVERY awesome blues song covered can be traced back to Willie Dixon. This is BARELY an exaggeration. He was THE MAN.
When I saw Zep in concert in '77, during one of many of Plant's ramblings on, I did hear him mention Robert Johnson at one point. Was kinda hard to decipher exactly what he was saying though.
Quoted from MinusWorlds:I give them all the credit in the world for ending the band when Bonzo died. Who knows how much more quality music they would have produced, but does it matter?
It ended the day In Thru The Out Door was released for many. I remember that day well as we all sat around that evening and reflected. The reviews from the current fans were not good. At the end of it all it was our consensus that day "Hot Dog" was the only redeeming track from that album.
To put it in perspective, Presence in 1976 was IMO a metal masterpiece, and was great right out of the gate.
Fast forward to 1979, and music had undergone quite a change with punk and new wave now in full force. It was going to take something of epic proportions to keep Zep on the map, and that did not happen.
Instead, it was this is what they have been working on and we have been waiting three years for? Epic fail, game over.
Quoted from MinusWorlds:What is your point? Or do you have one? And to be clear nobody asked for your opinion this time so let's not fall back on that excuse again. No idea why you feel the need to do this in thread after thread.
The op did indeed ask "what do you think?"
Instead of basically telling me to shut up, why don't you tell us your experience of how it was for you being a fan of the band while they were together, going to see them in concert, and being there as each new album was released. I'm sure it would enlighten us all.
I also remember our senior year when we had a rock and roll day in 1979 and Mike Ness pinned this poster to a tree and lit in on fire to a near standing ovation. All ancient history now.

Quoted from MinusWorlds:Get off your pedestal dude. I was f*cking six when Bonham passed. But that doesn't make MY opinion any less valid than yours.
But apparently you think mine is not as valid as yours. I wasn't the one that told you to stifle yourself. Instead I asked you to tell us your story. Which you did, and I can see why you have absolutely no understanding of how it was at the time.
Quoted from MinusWorlds:So cool your buddy burned an image of one of the greatest vocalists of all-time. How profound. That's what I call a fair weather fan.
He was no real fan of theirs. His influences went well beyond blues cover bands and hard rock hit makers of the time. But it was certainly a sign of the time. I'll also take a wild guess that name means nothing to you.
Quoted from MinusWorlds:Because you take these unnecessary hardlines any try to tell people why what they want to see in a pin is wrong. You do it over and over again. It's old.
I'm only speaking for myself and would probably be not making as many posts if people like you weren't constantly quoting me and insistent that I should shut up or change my opinion.
Do you really think my opinion or recollection of the past has any bearing on this getting made or not?
Read into what I say anyway you like, but I was a huge fan with all the albums and posters on the wall until it was over. Kinda what teenage kids do. Or did.
Quoted from MinusWorlds:I think you recollection of the past is sketcky and hazy...
You lived through the greatest time of rock n' roll and all you can seem to do is bitch about one album.
No, you are coming off as a control freak, telling others what to do, and only seeing what you want to see.
Quoted from vid1900:They were already on the way out.
1979 was the perfect time to get out of the way of all the new-wave and punk bands that were much more interesting.
That's what I was saying happened, but apparently doesn't make sense to someone who was very young at the time. I guess I can understand that, but music was in a serious change, and battle lines had been drawn.
After this one gets done, how long before a Yardbirds game will be relevant enough for today's pinball scene?
Quoted from Guinnesstime:The opening of "Tea For One" on Presence is about the coolest opening of a Zep song. Biggest shame is it only lasts like 12 bars.
I always liked For Your Life and Achilles Last Stand was a showstopper when performed live.
What has held up from that album the most for me after all these years I remember hearing getting blasted thru huge speakers from a beach front home for everyone on the sand and in the water to enjoy. They did a fine job on the live show with it as well.
I honestly never thought back in 1979 after ripping the posters off my wall, coming close to the year 2020, that we would be discussing what band we listened to while in high school and Jr. high would be the next pinball theme 40 years later. But really I don't think anybody at the time even considered it a possibility that this is what pinball would turn into.
It was odd enough at the time that they were doing Kiss and Nugent after the novelty of both of them had already started to wear off and it seemed their better records were behind them.
I guess as the lady on TNA says "welcome to the future".
Quoted from vid1900:LZ will put their name on any piece of crap they can find
Might as well put it on one of these late model pinball machines then.
It will fit right in with the rest of them.
Quoted from MinusWorlds:nobody asked for your opinion
Quoted from MinusWorlds:Get off your pedestal dude.
Quoted from MinusWorlds:I think you recollection of the past is sketcky and hazy...
Quoted from MinusWorlds:Your hypocrisy is showing again.
Quoted from MinusWorlds:WTF are you even talking about?
Perhaps you can give me my opinion and recollection of the past that will more suit your liking before you blow a fuse.
Quoted from MinusWorlds:Nope, not even remotely the point I was making. You have your experience and I have mine. Stop making it seem like YOURS is right because you "lived" it.
I never said yours was wrong, but since you've made it a point over and over again that mine is, please tell me what it is or should be.
Or please just find someone else to fk with. If that's how you get your thrills.
Quoted from MinusWorlds:that doesn't make MY opinion any less valid than yours.
Quoted from MinusWorlds:And to be clear nobody asked for your opinion
Quoted from MinusWorlds:Is my experience more valid somehow? No it's not.
Quoted from MinusWorlds:I think you recollection of the past is sketcky and hazy...
Quoted from MinusWorlds:Your hypocrisy is showing again.
Quoted from MinusWorlds:you weren't always a condescending pr*ck,
Are you through now?
