A Nuclear Blast themed pin would be awesome, there's some great bands on that label.
-Opeth
-Meshuggah
-Testament
-Symphony X

Although if we're gonna talk bands that make sense, I'd LOVE a Rush themed pin. That was the first band that I saw live and really got me into music. Either way, that Blast Beast statue looks cool, I'm sure whatever pin comes out it'll have a cool design!

i had a friend put Slayer music in our walking dead ! folks love it

Mob is getting restless Uncle Gary. Better double time Iron Maiden to satiate the beast.

Slayer would be sweet, but Iron Maiden would really shine, especially if they could get Derek Riggs to get involved in the artwork!

Sure looks like a tip towards Slayer right there.
Slayer doesn't make that much sense from a business perspective for Stern so I'm thinking it's a retheme in collaboration with Nuclear Blast à la PBR Can Crusher.
Maiden would make more sense from a business perspective as they're a much higher profile, classic theme. My guess is both will happen but Maiden is an actual Stern licensed machine.

Way back when my taste in music was stupid I hated Slayer, then I wised up... on and on south of heaven!

I also hated Opeth, Emperor, and Clutch. Teenagers are dumb.

Kerry and Jeff gave me tinnitus at Bogarts in Cinci and it was totally worth it.

Slayer on jimmy fallon?!

Do u mean tonite on NBC on Tonight Show w/ Jimmy Fallon?

Slay who ? Never heard of them .
The poll about says it also with majority voting NO . Mustnt be a well liked brand or something to get a negative vote like that ?
Majority rules in this case

I bet Stern (and distribs) could easily sell 1500 Slayer pinball machines worldwide assuming decent playfield layout and gameplay.

Artwork and the songs/music part of the sound package will not be the hard part of doing a Slayer machine.

250 to 500 premium/LEs, and 1000 or more pro models. Don't need to sell 5000+ to consider it a sucess imho.

No.... This title would not and would bet would have a hard time selling 250-500 only to Slayer fans who have the money to drop on a new machine. No operator with a brain would think this could make money on route, most people cant even name one song they play and would be a disaster for resell as this is not a family friendly game or could be put at a family arcade location.

I know you are smart enough to know that this theme can work in many bars, bar-n-grill type places.
There are thousands of bars in the USA and worldwide. Not saying it would work in every bar.
Yes, I realize this theme doesn't work at Chucky Cheese type place, or at a home of people raising kids.
There are millions of homes world wide that are currently not raising young kids.

Clarification: I'm not planning to buy a Slayer pin if it ever comes out, but I would play it on location, or at a pinball festival/expo.

I would,
Sssssllllllaaaaaaayyyyyyeeeeerrrrrrr!!!!

I would operate the HELL outta slayer. So would several of my operator friends. Slayer gets a lot of play on my jukeboxes, so why wouldn't I operate one?

People talk about making a Beatles or Jackson pin.... ummm talk about zero interest as an operator. My jukeboxes get like zero Beatles play. And very little Jackson. Plus I couldn't imagine trying to convince my locations that the MolestorLE is good for their business.

Well said. Slayer is relevant to many metal heads in the 80's era. Being how this is one of Sterns best demographic for middle aged men that can afford pinball machines this day, I would say Slayer would sell pretty well. The only other band I would want more than Slayer would be Megadeth. Go ahead Stern, talk to Dave Mustaine and make it happen.

Well, you clearly are Wakky if you indeed have never heard of Slayer. Even if you're not a fan, the intensity of the music would make for good pinball. I mean, if Dude looks like a lady can work, than anything can.

No need for the personal attack d head

That wasn't a personal attack you fucking pansy.
That ^^ was.

Go back to boot scootin yer way to shitty music ya fm dial breather.

Sorry gramps, maybe we should've included an option for Toby Keith, huh?

Name calling now ? Sorry young F wit crawl back into your own hole

Cursing now ? Just shows your low IQ in your communication skills

Followed by...

Low IQ on proud display ya fucking pansy.

C'mon Slim Scabies I'm sure yer dressed like Pat Benatar so hit me with yer best shot. Fuckin pansy.

Seriously there is no need for these personal attacks on here. Its really not warranted and seems no one can have an opinion without being abused .
Never heard of the slayer thing so i should not be attacked for it. People should play nice on here and respect other peoples opinions or statements without the agression .
Get a life if this place makes you feel like a keyboard warrior or agressive in any nature then this place is not for you. Pinball is meant to be fun. .

Never thought I would say this...Abe Vigoda you can fuck off too.
Smakky you started the personal attacks:

If you're not a fan that's fine. Stfu and move along.

FUCKIN SLAYER you pussies.

Yes, I remember my first beer. Age 14 while listening to that crap band Slayer.

Slayer should practice what they preach. Then we would be rid of them.

You say you've never heard of them yet you posted in this thread 38 days ago . 38 days is plenty of time to read through this thread , google them whatever . By now you should at least know who they are and what their music sounds like . If it is not the type of music you are into , that's fine this type of music is not for everyone but you can stop with the slay what , slay who nonsense . Clearly you know who they are but just don't care for them , and that is fine . You could simply say I don't like them or their music and would not buy a slayer themed pinball machine and then drain this thread or whatever . Seems as though you are trying to provoke people at this point.

Hahaha ok dude

You're not a very nice pinball pal.

The dreaded "1st beer" comeback. Owie.

Actually, new studies suggest people who curse are MORE intelligent... fu€kin crazy huh?

Have your tickets ready or show your wristband to ride the Wakky Trollercoaster.
You must be 54" tall to ride this ride.

I love the trollercoaster.

FM dial breather.
Patent pending.

Not meant to be a personal attack. Your pinside name is Wakky and I called you "Wacky" in an attempt at light humor. I made a similar post earlier in this thread about the fact that someone who had never heard of Slayer was by default a bad person. Not meant to be taken seriously. If it was true that you had never heard of Slayer, I'm guessing you googled them before posting in this thread titled "New Slayer Pinball". I was just responding to your trollish attempt at ignorance.

Ok man. really.

So it's ok to call someone a d head or F wit and get a pass as if we are children who cannot decipher being called a dickhead or fuckwit? Then insult someone's IQ. Pot meet kettle.

Yep.. seen them many times at bogarts.. talk about craziness... in a good way!

Ssssslllllllwakkyisadoucheaaaayyyeeeeerrrrrr!!!!!

Ever since I started learning guitar earlier this year, I've developed an immense appreciation for how technical and awesome metal guitarists are, Slayer included.

Not my favorite music, but damn can they play.

On the first one, I'm pretty sure you were full of shit and just trolling. I KNOW you were full of shit and trolling on the second one. WTF dude?

I need a Slayer pin.

Can you guys imagine the faces of the giggling, douchebag audience (one that would actually sit through a Jimmy Fallon show), when Slayer took the stage?

They should have had a split screen with crowd reaction shots.

They probably had to chain the exits.

The girl on the chair next to Jimmy Fallon seemed excited to see Slayer.

You know an old broad like that was a Slayer groupie back in the 80s.

"I hope they don't recognize me in my clean clothes....."

Lost in all this is how a "New Stern Slayer Pinball" ain't happening.

Anyway, WTF is a "FM dial breather"? What does it mean? How does it make any sense? How is that even an insult? Guess I have to wait until after the eject to find out.
