If/when this Rush lifetime pin becomes a reality it will animate my vital signs using natural science to make my body electric. Then presto, I’m a new world “working” man on a mission.
Ill be workin them angels in my subdivision climbing Jacob’s ladder to get my scores in the limelight.
24CA37A3-35C3-4374-A36F-40D6E4FB7366 (resized).jpegQuoted from Hoteldrummer:THIS is THEE dream theme for me and I'm getting an LE regardless of what songs, mechs or artwork. I've waited for this pin to come out for 40 years. I hope it sells like crazy to shut all the smack talkers up and proves it IS a worthy title and there is clearly enough people who wanted this. I REALLY hope they do something special in honor and memory of Neil. When I hear Rush isn't a big deal and only Canadians care about them, I say watch Rush in Rio as 60k fans freaking SING the guitar parts!! This band is/was HUGE and has one of the most loyal fan bases of all time and the demographic connects perfectly to pinheads. Thank you so much Stern for doing this one, I'm all in
Agreed totally. This will be my first new pin in years and it’s an auto buy no matter the artwork or songs listed. Dream pin. Absolutely devotion to the Rush lifestyle. I’ve seen Rush live more times then all other bands combined. I’d never be where I am without them.
I’m still struggling to believe this pin will become a reality. However, it’s too late to control my excitement!
Hoping for a few of songs from the list below to make the cut.
The Camera eye
Vital signs
Mystic rhythms
The body electric
Something for nothing
The enemy within
Finding my way
Red barchetta
Roll the bones
The pass
Distant early warning
Subdivisions
Quoted from Gryszzz:Subdivisions will def be on there. Probably my favorite Rush lyrics.
Definitely my favorite song.
Totally my opinion but I feel there are two what I’d consider perfect rock albums.
Moving pictures &
Dark side of the moon
Just behind those two is LZ1.
I believe Rush has the absolute best full catalog of any band in rock history. Narrowing their pin to even 15 songs would be a brutal task.
6A0E16EF-BC18-40A2-A30B-9F408CC80DA5 (resized).jpegQuoted from Hayfarmer:So, hopefully they will include 20 or more!!
How epic 20 songs would be! I am really hoping for a MP40th anniversary dedication and they include all 7 tracks. Then add in another dozen or so from various albums.
I can’t even allow myself to consider these possibilities after how disappointed I was in the Low number and catalog choices of LZ.
Quoted from DanQverymuch:You guys aren't doing yourself any favors by omitting their last couple offerings from your consideration.
Geddy himself says his favorite is their last, Clockwork Angels. I am not disinclined to agree with him.
I think the Garden is one of their best ever songs. Just not sure it’s a pinball type song. Shit I practically cry whenever I hear it. I’d be a mess playing the machine with this roaring in the background lol.
Quoted from kool1:This song... Has to be on the pin!
What song is it? The video is unavailable for the USA sadly.
Quoted from Gryszzz:Fucking perfect album
All 7, please! I can’t even imagine…..
Quoted from kool1:Weird... Driven
Great song for the pin for sure! I also love The main monkey business.
Quoted from kool1:YYZ seems like a good bet, wonder if an instrumental like this would have a chance...
I think YYZ would be in for sure. They might use footage of the Rio show for that maybe?
Quoted from Quicksilver1:It's also one of my top 3 favorite Rush songs.
1. The Camera Eye
2. Entre Nous
3. Losing It
I agree totally. The Camera eye is just amazing. I like this video for it very much.
Quoted from BigT:I am really fond of Distant Early Warning, but I doubt it will make the cut.
I think and hope it makes it. Such a great song that pinball could be set to.
Quoted from Gryszzz:Superficial? Sure. But such a GREAT FCKIN VIDEO and track, we all know this.
LeStudio! Terrible that it burned down and now is only marked by a Rush flag. 
Quoted from Methos:Great freakin song - especially live. I bet Red Sector A will make it.
Yes they could easily mirror the concert effects of Red sector A…… flashing red LEDs. That would be awesome.
This is without question the greatest pinday of my life! I have been a diehard, concert attending Rush fan for 40 years. There is so much to say but I’m truly thankful to those involved who pushed for it to become a reality. I know personally that this pin has been in the works for at least six years with Stern.
When it’s fully revealed I think we will all find out that the band members really had their creative stamp on it, including Neil.
The song list is very deep and while there are a couple of tracks not listed (so far) it’s a supreme list.
This is my first LE and I couldn’t be more excited at 50yrs old. Seems like this came at the right time for a lot of us who miss the band more than most can imagine. Rush is lifestyle for so many and this gives us back some of what has been taken away the last couple of years. Pure bliss, and the ability to be back in the moment.
Since I am probably the worst pinball player on pinside and have very little knowledge of rule sets, I’d like to hear how you all think the songs will be incorporated into the game?
The fact is if these tracks are played in their entirety then that is a lot of music in terms of time.
I don’t buy too many pins but this is the pin of a lifetime for me and I’ll never forget this day.

RUSH was the first concert I ever saw. Would love to add the pin.
I deserve it. I had to sit thru Mr. Big!

I saw them in Oakland, 4th row on that tour. When they played subdivisions the roof came off the place!
Quoted from Calgedy:I saw them in March 1990 in Oakland and then paid $125 (a lot of money back then) for the June 27, 1990 show at Shoreline for Section 102 Row DD. It was unbelievable and helped me become obsessed with RUSH. That show actually has a pro shot, soundboard bootleg that is widely circulated. I was 20. I have seen them every tour after that and multiple shows on every tour. Would always pay the steep price to be dead center about 15-20 rows back.....just in front of the soundboard for optimal live sound quality.
That is awesome! So much influence to so many people. Their stamp on my life is not quantifiable. I saw them on 3/31/90 on this tour. Below is pic of the stub. I can’t tell what I paid?
C83BC774-4431-483F-8782-C9387EE84EFB (resized).jpegFFE1B5E6-B153-48AF-A5A8-E1CF78A6631D (resized).jpegQuoted from Calgedy:Nice wall of ticket stubs! I was 22nd row dead center on July 23, 2015. What a show....they all were.....I saw the March 30th show, 1990. The soundtrack of my life. Rush is too complex for many, not this group. The amount of thought and care in every single song and every single part of their live performance goes UNMATCHED.
Thank you! It’s actually a coffee table with the ticket stubs under the glass. I still can’t believe this is happening. We may get some real surprises on Tuesday!
Quoted from manadams:Best sound upgrade is adding an external sub. Usually can find one cheap on Craigslist or FB marketplace and alligator clip it to bottom cabinet speaker or use a Pinnovators sub board.
Thanks.
So it sounds like you don’t consider the upgraded LE sound package a true selling point if you are going external anyways?
Quoted from LeMansFan:The San Jose Sabercats!!! I was a season ticket holder for many, many years! Miss that team.
Man, I used to have one of those cool ticket collages like yours, had a Super Bowl ticket, an NBA Finals ticket, Olympics, tons of concerts, and then our rental house when we were living on the East Coast flooded and it got destroyed.
You and I are practically neighbors. We should play pinball together sometime.
Sorry to hear that you lost you ticket stubs. That would be difficult. The Sabercats was indeed a great time out! Looking forward to hopefully making it to the pinball festival in Lodi this year.
The Rush pin is still unbelievable to me as there will never be another pin I will need as much as this one.
“Beyond the lighted playfield”
ED5F227A-0C1B-4628-950B-5F02621074EC (resized).jpegI was playing around and created a playlist with the 17 listed songs. If all the tracks are integrated in their entirety it comes to a total of about 115 minutes of music.
These were all studio versions and 2112 was the overture only which is still 6:45.
003B68F7-3DC4-4784-BA1D-3CAB9178236B (resized).jpegQuoted from PinBalt:Heard rumor that 17 is not final list. I previously also saw post that 19 was mentioned. That makes 100% sense. 19 songs spanning 19 Studio Albums ( not counting the cover album).
So what songs do you think are missing if true!??
Me - I say YYZ and Roll the Bones
If I could pick two additional songs it would probably be The Body Electric and The Camera Eye. Any added songs would be incredible though.
Quoted from Photopin:One song I haven't seen mentioned on here is Mystic Rhythms. It's on the virtual pin as a pop bumper mode. Never thought much about the song until I started playing pinball to it. It's been one of my favorite modes.
The live version of Mystic Rhythms on A Show of Hands is outstanding!
If there are a couple of songs to be added I’d be thrilled if any came from this list. No particular order.
The Camera eye
The body electric
Roll the bones
The pass
The enemy within
Mystic rhythms
Vital signs
Finding my way
Something for nothing
In his podcast a few days ago it was said the Borg was touting the LEs artwork and thought it was amazing. One thing is for sure, art is totally subjective. I’ll make my own decision thanks.
I do think If the expression lighting is LE only @$500 more then it’s something to consider when making a decision.
From hearing the podcast on stern a couple of true tidbits came out.
2112 is the entire side 1, and not just the overture. This means a lot to us who love their music.
Rush allowed their entire music and art catalog to be used.
There are over 800 callouts in the game. Apparently this is very different than the LZ involvement.
I think all three art packages are very uniquely Rush with many hidden gems. This pin has the look that will be easily be recalled in many years for its outstanding overall presentation.
Rush obviously helped make this pinball with the dedication that has spanned their entire career.
Quoted from faceforward_007:First LE for me, I never post on here but I'm pretty damn excited! Grew up on these guys, ride motorcycle, read Neil's books, Ghost Rider helped me through some trying times. Wasn't a fan of the cartoon band artwork buts it's grown on me. Dug the premium cab art since I'm from Northern Canada and the dark sky/snow hits home. LE art is amazing as well and the pro. Congrats to everyone involved, pretty sure you hit every fu#%ing nail on the head. I can't wait for this pin and really hope it brings a lot of excitement and joy to everyone else who's a Rush fan, pin enthusiast, or both. The last few years have been rough, so enjoy moments like these
Awesome! Totally with you. Ghost Rider helped me a ton as well. This is the theme of a life and of my lifetime as well.
Quoted from faceforward_007:Fu(k yeah man, everyone goes through sh!t in life but Neil really did well putting his struggles onto paper. I've read his other works and Ghost just responds to me so well. Hope you got the pin you wanted, and I hope you play the hell outta it!
Thanks! First LE ever!
“Why are we here, because we’re here”
Quoted from Jgaltr56:You need some low level inputs on the sub. Those are usually red or white RCA type connectors on the back.
https://www.the-home-cinema-guide.com/how-to-connect-a-subwoofer.html
Thank you for the information.
Quoted from mbwalker:Get one of these: amazon.com link »
Converts a high-level signal (woofer terminals) to a low-level signal (the sub input), and is a BALUN. The pin's amp is a 'balanced' output and a the sub's input is likely 'single-ended' (i.e. unbalanced), and a BALUN (BALanced to UNbalanced) eliminates the balanced to single-ended issue. Prevents ground loops too. basically just an audio transformer.
Meant for car stereos, where someone wants to hook up another amp and subs, but the car stereo doesn't have a 'line out' connection. Perfect for this application too.
[quoted image]
Edit: Just saw the original post might have been for a bluetooth sub, my comment was for a wired setup. Looks like you need the soundbar for the wireless sub.
Thanks, it is a bluetooth sub. I do have the soundbars with the subs but had not heard anyone mention using that type of setup on a pin?
Quoted from mbwalker:Can't think of a reason it won't work if the soundbar has the typical left and right RCA inputs. Just get the adapter I mentioned. BTW, you should only need to use one side (L or R, not both) of the adapter. Maybe get a RCA Y adapter at the soundbar input. There might be just a bit of sound lag but if it works OK for movies, should be fine for a pin. May not get much audio out of the soundbar itself, but I assume you're just mostly interested in the bass, right?
Which one do you plan on using (the Klipsch or Sony)? I'll see if I can look it up for you.
Edit: The Klipsch does have RCA inputs. They don't mention the level, but I would think it's fine. The Sony uses to what appears the typical small head phone jack (1/8", 3.5mm), so you would need a RCA to 3.5mm adapter.
Thanks for the info. I will probably wait and just get a Klipsch sub when the pin arrives. I will save the soundbar for something else.
There is no doubt I have a ton of new things to learn. Only Rush could do this!
Quoted from Vino:This is true. Heard their top few songs on radio, owned a cassette back in the day, but didn’t dive deeper into catalog until the last few years.
Now I’m bummed I’ll never see a Rush show.
Rush was the best live band I ever saw. I actually think they consistently sounded better in concert (especially indoors) than in the studio albums.
Quoted from Evets:I have this DVD set. The SHow of Hands disc has the following:
The Big Money
Marathon
Turn the Page
Prime Mover
Manhattan Project
Closer to the Heart
Red Sector "A"
Force Ten
Mission
Territories
The Rhythm Method - Drum Solo
The SPirit of Radio
Tom Sawyer
2112
The Temples of Syrinx/ La Villa Strangiato/ In the Mood
If you already knew this, then I apologize for taking up the bandwidth.
Incredible DVD. Marathon, and Force Ten are specifically outstanding.
Quoted from Calgedy:I remember hearing Subdivisions (now my favorite RUSH song) on the radio when it came out and I was 12. I loved that song but was too young to really comprehend it fully and know who RUSH was. That era is unsurpassed.......
Agreed, Subdivisions is my favorite Rush song. Moving Pictures is what I’d consider a perfect album but so much incredible Rush came after it. Very fond of Grace Under Pressure because of what the band was facing at that time and the music they produced in spite of it.
Quoted from Gryszzz:I don't even like the whole song.
But the 1st two minutes rule lol.
This stupid rap is actually growing on me
EXCORCIST
Wtb craigslist
This is a great version of Roll the Bones at R40. I like the cameos. As far as the rap, I dig it. Rush has a long history of going on their own path and this is another example. Spirit of Radio has a timing and sound change to a reggae component.
Quoted from PinBalt:A change over to a RUSH Owner Forum. A while ago it was suggested to convert this Forum/ post into the official RUSH owners club at some point in the future. 1. When should that occur? Is that time now? 2. Any suggestions for the new name????
PinBalt
The Spirit of 2112!
Quoted from Sluggo39:I think it was 84 I went to the Kabuki theater in SF and saw 3 new up and coming bands the opening band was Metallica
Awesome the Kabuki in SF! I saw Rush at the Oakland coliseum arena in the 1980s. It was astonishing and blew away everything I had seen before or after by any band. I saw The Rolling Stones shortly after at the Coliseum with 65,000 others, and I still remember thinking how most in that crowd had no clue that Rush was just in town and that Rush was in a class by themselves. The stones were not in the same musical galaxy imo.
Quoted from upsfeedr:i
Waiting for a Pro as well i hope i get a later run, i can wait a little rather have then fix the issue First.. my distro is 10 hours away in Hillsborough OR...im in norther Ca oh well no sales Tax
Have you ever had any trouble getting a pin worked on by a distributor who is far away? I also live in Northern Cal. and thought about using an Oregon distributor.
Quoted from TinyBlackDog:Nobody has received an LE yet so who knows. The video that Borg posted a week ago showed LEs on the line with different scoop protectors than the pros shipped with. I’m guessing that the parts dept is out of the loop and the LEs have the fix. We will know soon enough.
Can you tell me what the difference is between the Pro and the LE protector seen in Borg’s video?
