The game play is decent but I want a Stern Stones mainly for the theme. The rock themed pins are worth as much for being rock memorabilia as they are for pinball machines.

If you are a Stones freak (like I am) any pin featuring the Rolling Stones is on the "short list" of must-have machines.

Even though there are better "players" out there, I'd rather have the Stones theme.

Changed it from the Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World to Iron Maiden? I saw your thread as I'm sure most on here did.

If you think Iron Maiden is a better band than the Stones you are certainly entitled to your opinion but it sounds more like you are just trying to troll a bit in this thread. Some people like Justin Bieber better than the Stones too. To each his own.

It's your machine and you can do what you like with it. It does look nice but it's the same game underneath so you didn't change a "turd" as you called it into anything else other than a re-themed Rolling Stones pin. If in your opinion it was a "turd" as the Stones, it's still a turd as an Iron Maiden.

As for myself, I'm in the market for a Stern Stones machine in the not-to-distant future to place next to my 1980 Bally Rolling Stones. I think they are both highly-collectable pins and pretty-good players too. They are both at the top of my list because of the Rolling Stones theme.

I wouldn't be opposed to Iron Maiden having their own pin someday though. It might be a decent seller. I don't think I would pay thousands of dollars for one but I'm sure there are some out there that might.

But anyway, your project looks cool I have to give you that. You did a pretty-good job but I'd much rather have a Stones pin because of the theme.

My Stones machine is a "keeper" and one of the most-prized in my personal collection. It's a highly sought-after Bally SS pins and one of the original rock-themed pins. Like the Bally Kiss pin, it's value goes beyond that of a pinball machine. It's an iconic piece of Rock memorabilia and part of Rock history.

There are only three song-related tunes as far as I can recall.

1) It does a few second riff from "Satisfaction".
2) It does a different shorter riff from what sounds like the end of the song "Jumpin' Jack flash" with like crowd applause.
3) When you press the start button it does a short riff from "Miss You".

That's it I think.

I never really wanted that one. Of all the rock-themed pins the Stones would be #1 for me but I would take a Metallica, Rush, AC/DC, New Kiss or any of the others if I had the room and money to burn on them.

BTW: The Rolling Stones are all in their 70s except for Ron Wood who is 66. The guys from Iron Maiden are all 60ish.

If anyone has an unmolested Stern Rolling Stones for sale let me know.

I'm in the market for one to place next to my Bally Rolling Stones.

With all the Rolling Stones memorabilia that's been made for the past 50+ years there is no shortage of stuff you could use as a topper.

Probably more than you could ever hope to find for any other pinball title.

I agree. It's an awesome game and an awesome piece of rock history.

Most of the so-called rankings on forums like this are not to be taken seriously. Most come from idiots and trolls who have some kind of juvenile agenda.

When it's all said and done, this pin along with the original Bally version will be worth a lot of coin compared to most others.

There's a reason there are two Rolling Stones pinball machines while most bands don't even warrant having one made.

Released as a single on today's date 1968........

Some interesting trivia about the song was that it evolved out of the Beggar's Banquet recording sessions but is not included on the album. It was released as a single only and became one of the most iconic Stones tunes of all-time reaching number 1 on the UK charts and number 3 in the United States.

It didn't appear on an album until it was included on the greatest hits compilation "Through The Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2)" a year later.

The promo video included in the link above is considered to be one of the best ever made and inspired a generation of Stones fans!

Awesome!!
