Quoted from Jaybird815:Crue is currently more popular than Rush, according to sales/downloads. I don’t really care much for either though. But like Rarehero was saying popularity doesn’t always equate to pin sales.
Guess you have never heard the necromancer
Quoted from Squizz:Don't know who the F#ck Rush is, and not going to google to find out!
Just a very easy passsssss
And I'm sure that I'm not the only one in Australia regards who is Rush! Other than the Racing Movie - Hunt
Bring on Jaws and BTTF and I'll be more than happy!
Rush would bring more sales than midnight oil mate
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Rush maybe has a little better lead singer, but with what Vince lacks in vocals, Mick and Tommy more than adequately make up for. You could pull almost any 3 songs from each of the first 4 albums and have a kick ass pin.
Have a black shout at the devil cabinet with Allister Fiend on the sides of the head and pentagram on the sides of the cabinet with shout at the devil written below it.(won’t happen though).Have a Theatre of pain cabinet, or a Dr Feelgood cabinet.
I don’t want the naked Rush Dude. So many Crue songs I can name off the top of my head, Rush, not a chance. Rush puts off a gay vibe in my opinion. Sorry Rush fans.

You need to get your head examined
Quoted from Jamesays:Exactly how do you know if you never heard the music.They usually dont play Rush on the same station you hear olivia newton john.
U tube The band Buffalo (live in Australia video 1974) and Rush on The same ticket would of been awesome. Shows Aussies like rock so it would be impossible if no Rush fans in Australia.
There are so many songs equal or better than tom sawyer...I highly recommend listening to my favourite and most underrated of all rush songs, the necromancer. A perfect song for a rush pin I.m.o
Quoted from jitneystand1:I hope for Rush the same way that I hoped for Maiden. Not interested but great for the many who are. Crue though, I’m almost certainly buying.
Both pins would sell
Wonder if it's time for rap pin... outkast?
.speakerboxxx
Quoted from WarriorPin:Neither, but Rush sucks.
What a hot load of poo
If neither then why open the thread?
Quoted from Honch:Accolades aside, his "opinion" of their music can't be wrong. Talent doesn't always translate to enjoyable music for everyone. It's obviously very subjective, but to me, Geddy Lee makes my ears bleed, and all the awards and record sales on the planet will never change my mind.
It's kind of funny how everyone tries to convince each other of what they enjoy is the correct choice and that only someone with no ear for talent couldn't see it. I'll give you your point about Rush being talented, but don't you dare try and tell me that lima beans are delicious. I don't care how many awards they win at the farmer's markets.
Another hot load of poo
Farmers markets? both Motley Crue and Rush are monstors of rock. Personally I would. buy both .
Check out the pink Floyd busker in Italy u tube.
You never get the business unless you ask for the business. ..who know many he's a pinball fan.
Quoted from rushfan:So not true. I counted three woman at their last concert in Toronto.
Rush will sell. There are a lot of us - with cash.
Got the guitar and beer. Now need the pin.
Rush haters will be haters... get over it.
The end.

Your song choices for Rush pin?
Just curious..
List best songs for Crue and Rush pins,
Top 5 each band?
The developers should pay attention to this thread.
Quoted from lpeters82:I'd rather have another theme with a curated soundtrack incorporated into the overall package.
This thread is for Rush and Crue fans..
Quoted from wcbrandes:Looks like Geddy Lee and pinball collector Ed Robertson from Baranaked Ladies are teaming up ..for something. Would have been nice to combine these two into a pin ! Maybe they have ?
[quoted image]
Likely a music collaboration.
Quoted from John-Floyd:A 2112 edit is a must for me. Or hell, just throw the whole side A in…it’s a masterpiece.
The Trees would be a great song John, “the maples scream oppression!” lol
Quoted from insight75:The Trees is about the many opinions on Pinside.
the maples are not getting enough light!
Quoted from John-Floyd:la villa strangiato
- or Am I reaching a little bit?
not at all..solid choice.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Not that you asked me, but:
2112: Grand Finale
Cygnus
Dreamline
By-Tor
Subdivisions
Driven
I’m smoke a fat one and listen to your list because its pretty solid,,but yyz great multi song
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Nice! Add it! I was intentionally trying to skip Moving Pictures because half the album is on the greatest hits haha
haha! So true...pretty tough to pick a top 5
Quoted from gentrsa:For all it's glorious self indulgence.....
Natural Science - would be a great song for a RUSH pin to include IMHO
forum Rush fans can ensure the soundtrack is good to go!
YYZ multi ball 1?
Lakeside Park by Rush, Reminds me of my youth and a great song that would fit well in a pinball theme
Quoted from cscmtp:I've heard of people having $h!t for brains, but I've never seen some many people in one thread that clearly have $h!t for ears. Saying Rush sucks??? Are you kidding me???
Depends on age or you are into rock music . Radios here are a joke for playing rush songs. They go for the payola and what the 15 year old girls want. I watched machine gun Kelly video. He's seems more concerned about his clothes/ image to make money. I would Live in a box if i inspired people with my songs. If the music is secondary then it sucks.

I assume designers pay attention to this thread . Toys for rush pin..Smash little guitars ? Collect Neil pearts drum kit?
Quoted from Jaybird815:Find one pinsider from Europe or Australia that would be interested in a Rush pin. I know it’s not the end all be all, but it is telling that not a single one has said they’re fans or even have heard of them. Every one that has commented in this thread or the 50 other Rush threads have said they have zero interest. 1980, lol.
Jay bird I think both pins would do well...I have a big list of my favourite crue songs as well. There are many music afficionados and fans that would buy both no problem.
Quoted from insight75:Went and saw Primus last night. They are doing the "Farewell to Kings" album in its entirety. One thing is clear, lots of Rush fans came out to see this. Some didn't know anything about Primus but went to hear Rush. Them fans are a cult!
How was the concert ??

IMG_5800 (resized).jpgQuoted from Nevus:Rush Songa for a Pin?
Red Barchetta
Spirit of Radio
Limelight
Tom Saywer
YYZ
Fly by Night
Tom Saywer...great tune!
Kidding aside solid selection
Quoted from konjurer:Rush is should be a take my money now theme for me. BUT for the love of God, please Stern, do NOT use that hideous artwork from the first album. I also pray to the rock gods that this will not just be music from the first album - easily their weakest album and no Neil Peart would be a hard pass from me.
If it is designed around 1 album (ala Led Zep) I could see:
2112
A Farewell to Kings
Permanent Waves
Moving Pictures
Signals
If it is a selection of songs I would want to see it be a sci-fi/fantasy themed pin:
2112 Overture
Temple of Syrinx
Xanadu
Cygnus X-1 Book I: The Voyage
Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres
Jacob's Ladder
Tom Sawyer
Red Barchetta
Natural Science
The designers would no doubt be paying attention to this thread. As Rush fans , our opinions matter as most of us are the ones who will buy the game. It's important to listen to the market imo
Quoted from rotordave:A Crüe pin could feature a unique “Vince falls off the stage … again ..” mech.
Could be quite cool.

That’s a good one Dave... Knock Vince Neil off the stage!

Quoted from rotordave:Yes, that definitely happens. I’ve seen it multiple times.
I know a number of people who bought AC/DC or Iron Maiden, then got more into the music … “number of the beast, what’s that about?”
Lol
rd
So black sabbath and Judas Priest were/are not popular in Australia? Frank Zappa no, deep purple...etc etc..
Doesn’t make any sense no love for Rush.
Interesting .. just watching the old buffalo Band in Melbourne Proves Aussies haves rocked since the 60s
Quoted from gouveia:Really?! Triumph was HUGE back in the late 70's early 80's, and have some of the best classic rock songs ever. Magic Power, Fight The Good Fight, Lay It On The Line, World Of Fantasy, etc. I'm surprised you've never heard of them because they played down here a lot. They were always compared to Rush since they were a three-piece from Toronto, but totally different music.
Good thing is you'll soon get a chance to learn all about em if you want. This movie should be out soon. Same director as the Rush and Iron Maiden documentaries.
[quoted image]
Haha! When I was in grade 9 , my triumph record got a huge scratch so I cut the cover Off the album and taped it on one of my binders !
I went to the store , when I was leaving the parking lot, this younger woman zoomed around carelessly and almost hit me head on...she slowly squeezed past my new car and gave me a slow motion middle finger. I’m really upset about it and actually cried. Wtf is wrong with people???
Take a friend Song by rush dedicated you guys.
Quoted from rotordave:Maiden, AC/DC are huge down here. Those bands have played to 40,000 plus crowds here in Auckland.
Metallica can sell out any venue they want.
Black Sabbath are big - the reunion tour sold out here (maybe 2 nights?)
Priest is popular, but not the same as those bands. They played to 10,000 in Auckland last year, which was pretty good for a niche band.
KISS has some diehard fans, but can’t fill a 12,000 seat arena here. They are huge in Australia though, they’ll play multiple nights in 12,000 seat venues.
Aerosmith isn’t really popular. Most people wouldn’t have heard of them outside of the 90s songs. Walk this way with DMC was big, as were the radio hits. But not the 70s stuff.
Rush - no, nothing at all. I know one guy here who is into Rush. He’s Canadian.
That’s not a diss on the band at all (for that dick that downvoted my post above ..)
They were just never marketed down here in the 70s/80s/90s, so they don’t have a fan base. The only reason I know a heap about them is I have read US rock/guitar magazines since the 80s. Otherwise they wouldn’t be on my radar either.
We also have a bunch of bands down here that are huge that none of you US/Canadian guys would have ever heard of.

Maori Metal documentary with the band Alien Weaponry from New Zealand was excellent . A Cultural documentary about a young metal band. On you tube and recommend.

Yeah but you can go into a beer store and ask for Rush!
Edit: rush is not available at the beer store or LCBO in Canada yet
Quoted from Neal_W:Payola was huge back then! Likely Rush's management did not judge it worth paying the rock radio station programmers in NZ to play their music and develop a fan base in a small country (no offense) where they did not think they were likely to tour or get a big return on their investment. It could also be their management/label did not have a deal with the company that owned the rock stations in NZ for whatever reason.
For sure, Rush was a big rock act with a list of number 1 hits and were all over the album rock radio from 75-91 and continue to be popular on classic rock channels.
quote:
As it stands today, payola remains illegal, and yet widespread. Unfortunately, when the people involved get away with it, it works. The Sony BMG case shined a fresh light on the issue, however, and a crackdown is in the works. Nov 5, 2018

Please watch frank zappa vs congress video
Can't imagine what the Canadian price$ will be for a Rush pin. Over 3 bucks for 1 Rush beer so better start selling and saving now! Any guesses? Will it be internet capable so I can play other hosers?
Quoted from woody76:total cringe
With Crue that im a fan of as well ,,bands age. Wonder how many times Rush has played Tom Sawyer
Quoted from Calgedy:You mean total awesomeness?? LOL
Take off to the great white north, take off its a beauty way to go!
Quoted from John-Floyd:Who's Pert? Never heard of him. IF you're going to diss a dead legendary drummer at least spell his name right FFS
I think he's talking about shampoo John
Little Holograms of the band playing would be cool on a upper level stage with ramps..Is that possible holograms?
Quoted from chris_p:Trolled me harder with this than the Neil Purt guy. Well Done! I'm all, "White Trash Circus? Just Another Psycho? The Title track? Motherfkkr of the Year? Animal? Machine? Which One?!!?!" Chicks?.... GOIN'OUTSWINGIN' -gotta be it I gotta go listen now, made my afternoon fer sure - I BEEN GOT!
Rdoyle is a musician , and I also play guitar...Hatchet Neil Pearts name on purpose? , especially to a musician who plays Rush cover music and pretty good I must say. You should read his autobiography and I bet he won’t be Neil purt anymore.
Like the developer to leak designs or hints so they can discuss the opinions of the market At their weekly meetings.
Quoted from chris_p:All Apologies for the Purt thing, didn't mean to disrespect the drummer, was just referencing the OTHER guy's mis-spelling, yeah on purpose. I've read that autobiography - been a Rush fan since '74 when HONESTLY (not trying to troll here) I thought Geddie Lee LOOKED AND SOUNDED just like Burke Shelley of Budgie - which was just PERPLEXINGLY UNEXPECTED - and I was pretty stoked that Working Man had the same vibe. By 2112 they were going a completely different direction than In For the Kill, but I LOVED BOTH.
And that's the thing - I totally bow down before technical excellence (aside - Where the HELL has Tina S been????) and also REALLY enjoy a LOT of NOISY GARBAGE. I appreciate that people here know each other and look out for each other. And just because I don't CARE whether people dis my crappy musical tastes doesn't mean that I don't appreciate someone putting their heart and soul into creating awesome music, being in great bands, covering their most loved songs - I been in tons of bands and there is no better feeling than giving TWO HOURS MORE than what we were paid just because the damn audience was SO great and SO sweaty and moshing and into it and treated us like the Rolling Stones (that ONE time LOL). So I don't mean to imply someones program is not legitimate just because I might poke some unintentional fun at some band they love, and apologize again if it came off that way.I guess I just enjoy having ONE MORE SWIG of Crue. "I woke up this morning and I fell out of bed. I couldn't find the floor until it hit me in the head...." And that's the thing. I am the Almost Famous demographic. I will enjoy whatever garbage GnFnRs comes out with just for the nostalgia.
I love the feeling of reading something so contrary to my program that I feel compelled to TYPE. I miss the old BBB's and pre-web trolling, and seeing people ignore the HUGE MOUNTAINS (Lee's Voice is FINGERNAILS MANNNNN!) but falling over molehills. I MISS being CAUGHT UP in all that, and It felt GOOD to be trolled even tho you weren't.
And RILLY, a BUDGIE pin would meet HALFWAY and capture BOTH groups of fans here! Zoom Along ramp. In For the Kill multiball. Nude Disintegrating Parachutist Woman backglass
That’s what I thought afterwards what you meant about the persons misspelling ..Cheers! My apologies and a big fan of Budgie
I was 6 years old when Rush played a concert at Laura Secord secondary school in 1974 , st Catherine’s ontario. Concert on you tube Great watch!
