New JJP Teaser Video

Quoted from PanzerFreak:
It looks like GNR was all just a diversion to the real game Back to the Future Trilogy Pinball! 30,600 amps = 1.21 gigawatts, and 4/27/20 is in the past so yet another indicator.
Now there's a theme that would make me drop almost $10k on a pin again.

Where did you get the 30,600 to 1.21 gigawatt conversion? Not sure that pans out....

Quoted from Tranquilize:
I don't plan on reviewing it and admit my bias. GnR is one of my most despised bands of all time. Love slash, but Axel is just awful. Their art package is cliche city. Top hats, skulls, guns, roses... They may as well throw in some 50's drag flames. Welcome to the jungle multi ball? Baaaaaarf!
I'm bitching because I love jjp and want to buy a freaking game from them. This could be the greatest machine ever made, but I could never buy it.
Next!

I feel the same way on the band. Eagles of Death Metal is one of my favorite bands, and they were picked up to tour as an opener for GNR in the bands early years. At the first show Axel introduced them as the "Pigeons of Shit Metal". I was never really a GNR fan, but for a musician to treat another musicians like that really got under my skin.

To his credit, front man Jessie Hughes said "fuck you" and EODM left the tour. He even got this tattoo mocking the comment from Axel.

Quoted from lmccart5:
I was actually at that concert in Cleveland. To be fair, Axl did not introduce them as the Pigeons of Shit Metal. When Guns were doing their set he paused at some point and asked the crowd "how did you like the Pigeon's of Shit Metal", and then stated something along the lines about how they won't be touring with Guns anymore to which there was cheering and applause. I don't think the crowd cared that greatly about it one way or another, I think they just found it funny. If Jesse said "fuck you" it wasn't during the concert. I'm not sure why Axl went out of his way to bash them though. The EODM received a lukewarm reception during their set, but I didn't think they were terrible by any means.

it's wild that you were at the show! Everything I've read about GNR on that tour was that axl was unhinged and acting nuts. I was never a fan anyway, although I do like Slash. Your description of how it all went down doesn't change my opinion of axl. He's a dick.

Quoted from JonCrox:
Umm, cool story but is that how to mock someone? If so I'd literally be covered in obscenities!!

I think it's a pretty fitting FU. Embrace the insult. This wasn't just any insult either. Hughes admired GNR and was beyond excited to be opening for them, only to have his life's work insulted by someone he idolized. I'd say that's worth laying down some ink, but I guess some people don't like tattoos and curse words. I do lol
