Slayer !
(Topic ID: 190845)
Quoted from Aurich:You'd never buy a Stern again because they did a pin for a band you don't like? That's hilarious.
You're going to be in every new game thread like a kid with their nose up against the bakery window, fogging the glass with your breath, looking at all the other children laughing and playing pinball. Every once in a while you'll sigh, then eventually shuffle away with your hand in your pockets, kicking at rocks, and muttering about stupid Slayer.
I would give Stern props for having more balls than I imagined if they actually do a Slayer pin. Believe it when it happens. Sounds awesome though.
Haha - no, you missed the point. If it were simply because I didn't like the band, I would have never bought another Stern after Elvis. 
I'd most likely buy one , I like slayer a lot ,but I would also have to like the game itself (layout , rules , artwork, etc. ) . If zombie yeti is doing the artwork it's a safe bet I will like the art .
Quoted from nwpinball:Don't loose hope, maybe they will make a Barry Manilow pin next.
If they make a Barry Manilow pin, I'll be spending a weekend in New England with Mandy because it looks like Stern has made it..lol
Its no secret that Kerry King (SLAYER guitarist) is a big pinball fan, He prob cut a deal with marketing to have a game or two backstage in return for advertising or something...
#DeadSkinMaskMultiball
Quoted from foureyedcharlie:Could it really be? I thought it was a long shot, but Stern was seen attending and advertising at a Slayer concert a couple years back. Now I see a teaser from Zombie Yeti on his face book page of what appears to be a Devil holding up the devil horn sign. It also has the hashtag, #nulearblastusa, which is Slayer's current label. I thought Maiden was next, but this seems like a done deal to me.
In for the LE - which is great as the last 3 Stern's were not for me
Sana'a
Quoted from Damonator:I'm sure I'll catch heat for this, but, being a christian this would not only be a pass for me, it would be a pass on all future Sterns indefinitely.
Dante Alighieri wrote a poem about Hell, that does not mean he was not a Christian.
Taddeo di Bartolo painted pictures of Hell, that does not mean he was not a Christian.

Tom Araya has sung songs about Hell, that does not mean that he is not a Christian? (he is).

Would you pass on all future libraries because they contain the Dante's Inferno poem?
Would you pass on visiting the College of San Gimignano because they have a painting by Bartolo?
Love metal, mainly power and prog metal, but Slayer just doesn't do it for me. Iron Maiden I love, and that band seems like a better choice to me, but even Maiden doesn't come near the accessibility, etc, of Metallica and AC/DC. In the US at least.
I'd personally like to see them give the music/band pins a break for a while...
Quoted from Damonator:Oh come on - not this conversation again. I actually like music that's way heavier than Slayer...but still Christian.

Cliched, I know but I love the first couple of Tourniquet albums - Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance and Psychosurgery in particular. And Extol!
Quoted from Damonator:I'm sure I'll catch heat for this, but, being a christian this would not only be a pass for me, it would be a pass on all future Sterns indefinitely.
Narrow mind much?
Its a band
It is not real life...
Your organized religion has killed more people than Slayer ever will...
Quoted from PinKopf:Love metal, main power and orig metal, but Slayer just doesn't do it for me. Iron Maiden I love, and that band seems like a better choice to me, but even Maiden doesn't come near the accessibility, etc, of Metallica and AC/DC. In the US at least.
My lady brought up going to see Slayer when we were walking out of the Maiden show on Saturday - I still like Slayer but I am not sure I would want to go to a show still. I haven't kept up with the last couple albums, although I guess I'm still curious about whether Kerry would let Gary write a couple tunes on the next album. She was mad I said I didn't want to go!
That ZY post doesn't really add up though. He also tagged SDCC2017 which is, of course, SD Comic Con; there's nothing Slayer at SDCC that I can find.
Additionally, a third music pin (Aero, AC/DC Encore), in such short time doesn't make much sense either.
He's trolling or getting tags mixed.
Quoted from soapblox:Dear Stern,
Give us a Queen pinball.
Thanks,
Everyone
That pin would be awsome...
For me to leave feces in the coin slots.

Quoted from Spelunk71:I thought that was going to be Heighway's next pin. Get your pre-order $ in now!

Oh please - give me a break. The bible talks about hell, many of the bands I listen to talk about hell.
That's not remotely the same thing as being anti-God/pro-satanism as Slayer is. Are you really trying to convince me that Slayer is a Christian band because one of it's members claims to be a Christian? Is Korn a christian band because Brian Welch became a Christian?
And your analogy about not going to a library because of a particular book is weak. I don't quit listening to music or going to iTunes because Slayer has albums for sale there.
A better analogy would be not supporting a specific music publisher that signed Slayer as an artist.
Quoted from TechnicalSteam:WE NEED a GWAR pin!
Gwar's drummer lives a few houses down from me. Should I tell him to get on it?
Quoted from jeffpm:Gwar's drummer lives a few houses down from me. Should I tell him to get on it?
yes!!
Well, then do not watch any movies made by studios that ever made satanism-related horror movies, same goes for TC channels of course. I take that back, that would be juvenile to live by rules like that.
Do as thou wilt, it's your lifestyle, your decisions. I have hands down zero problems with it, just don't lecture others.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:ABSOLUTELY!! I for one love 70s Prog rock as well as metal and my wife is into Yacht Rock
A Yacht Rock themed pin would be a total boat anchor.
Quoted from PinKopf:Love metal, mainly power and prog metal, but Slayer just doesn't do it for me. Iron Maiden I love, and that band seems like a better choice to me, but even Maiden doesn't come near the accessibility, etc, of Metallica and AC/DC. In the US at least.

Internationally Iron Maiden has a mammoth fanbase. Personally the metal band game I really want to see is Motorhead. \m/
Quoted from DerGoetz:Well, then do not watch any movies made by studios that ever made satanism-related horror movies, same goes for TC channels of course.
Exactly. I don't.
Quoted from DerGoetz:I take that back, that would be juvenile to live by rules like that.
Why? It just gives me more time to play pinball.
Quoted from DerGoetz:I have hands down zero problems with it, just don't lecture others.
Thanks. I don't think I've been lecturing anyone, just voicing a minority opinion.
Wasaga Beach, ON
Quoted from HoakyPoaky:Embryonic death,
Embedded in your brain.
Suffocation, strangulation,
Death is fucking you insane!
Yes please Probably a joke tho. I'd prefer Iron Maiden.
Absolutely, Maiden all the way! The art package alone on an Iron Maiden would be the ultimate music pin.
out of the 500 people I know, 5 like slayer, 8 like iron maiden, 400 like led zeppelin, and 350 like pink Floyd!
Quoted from Frax:That pin would be awsome...
For me to leave feces in the coin slots.
LOL
I would totally consider buying that pin.. Uh, sans feces 
Slayer sucks!!! and would be a disaster of a pinball machine. Iron Maiden is still popular worldwide and the art package alone would be amazing. Stern please blow us out of the water with a bad ass Iron Maiden pinball machine with hand drawn kick ass art.

at least you got 5 smart friends

You know what? After seeing the star wars art (I'm sure the pin will be fun), I'm OK with Stern not doing a Maiden pin.

I think you might be way over thinking this. Do you really think the guys from Slayer are conjuring up demons in their basement while dancing around pentagrams.
Quoted from jkashani:It's only pinball and it's meant to be fun. Peole gets their pinball panties in an uproar at the drop of a dime. If you like it buy it play it and have fun. BM 66 still sucks though, that will always suck.
Quoted from DanQverymuch:Between Slayer and Iron Maiden I could name exactly zero songs.
...You named one song in your post
Quoted from Damonator:Are you really trying to convince me that Slayer is a Christian band because one of it's members claims to be a Christian?
No.
Is Stephen King a "Christian Author" because he is a Christian?
Your inverse logic does not make any sense...
-
Black Sabbath for a while did not play on Sundays, because Geezer Butler was such a strong Catholic.
That does not make Sabbath a Christian band, nor does the fact that they've sung songs about Satan make them anti-god.
Artists find all different ways to express themselves, and Allah has blessed all of them.
Quoted from Damonator:I'm sure I'll catch heat for this, but, being a christian this would not only be a pass for me,
Quoted from Damonator: it would be a pass on all future Sterns indefinitely.
Quoted from vid1900:Is Stephen King a "Christian Author" because he is a Christian?
Believing that there is a God does not make one a Christian. Being raised going to church does not make one a Christian. I haven't read anywhere that Stephen King is a Christian.
Quoted from markmon:Ridiculous. I suppose you boycott Fox TV and all DC comics for having the TV show Lucifer also?
OK - ridiculous to you, but I just won't support a company that licenses a band that seem pro-satanic/anti-God by reading their lyrics. As for Fox/Lucifer, I've never watched it.
Quoted from cscmtp:NO way they do a slayer pin.
It would let Stern break away from the pussyfication of it's music pins.
Slayer is well loved by everyone under 50, but just hardcore enough to not be played on Clearchannel radio stations.
If you think about it, Stern has not had a true "outlaw"music pin since Ted Nugent was adopting underage girls to have sex with.

I love how someone is trying to derail a Slayer thread to make it a discussion about Christianity. I know I was really hoping to hear about your personal religious beliefs in a pinball thread.
Quoted from TheLaw:Do you even know anyone (not from this site) under 50?
I know my teenage nephews and my 20 year old niece.
They love Slayer, and they are Jewish.
