I am a fan of Rush, but man their concerts suck. I wanted to leave early so bad. A 3hr show with music no one wants to hear. They should have kept the show half as long with the songs they are known for and it would/could have been a great show.

Not at all. I saw them at the United Center a year ago/year and a half ago. 8 of us went and none of us thought it was a good show. Seriously 3-3 1/2 hrs of Rush? I know I am not going to get a great response about this in a Rush pinball thread, but I have to say we were all disappointed it. Playing crap that was new, come on Rush, your time has come and gone, stick to the stuff we all have grown to love you for. They wouldn't even deserve to open for Roger Waters given the performance we saw. Roger Waters puts on a show, even in the United Center.

I expected quality not quantity. It was just too long.

I would say there are 5 out of the 8 of us that are into Rush. The thing is, Rush did not put on a good show, period. They could care less about acoustics or showmanship. We were not the only ones who thought it was boring and rediculous as there were plenty of people around us that got up and never returned. I also wouldn't quite say that it is amazing they still do what they are doing, impressive sure, not amazing. The last albulm was thier best? Your kidding right? Not only by the numbers is it not their best album the sound doesn't compare to thier old stuff.

Its not about all the popular stuff, but when they play songs that the majority of the audience has heard once or never, it tends to kill the concert quick.

Bottom line is, they don't deserve a pinball machine, it would not be recieved well and it would be utterly boring. Neil Peart is the only thing they still have going for them.

Metallica and AC/DC absolutely hit the mark when it comes to music pins, now lets not see another music pin for 5 years. Stern get some creativity. TBL would work.

Indication that you agree that Neil Peart is the best thing they have going for them or a disagreement. You don't have to give a full explaination, just wondering if I am the only one who sees it that way.

Wrong, couldn't be more off the mark. Late twenties to late thirties have the cash and interest in these machines more than 40-60 age group. We have disposable income and grew up with modern pins not that em crap.

Well, early 1990's were the height of the pin market, and those of us that were still in arcades at that time were between 10-20. Most individuals would now be 30-40. Now we can look at 25-40 as a large market for pins admirers and generally the younger groups will have the most disposable income. Actually overall 18-20 year olds have the most disposable income. Do a little bit of consumer research and this will be confirmed.

Nail on the head

This is true, but I never said that 18-20 would buy these pins. What I state is that they have the highest disposable income which is 100% true. I stated that late 20's through 30's would be the best market because of their disposable income which would be young working professionals who make great money and are with out kids yet such as the 40 and up club. Also the majority of 40 and up club will not make what the late 20'-30's generation will in their lifetime and they should be focused on saving for their retirement. We all know pins are not the safe investment they should be loooking for. So no I will not review my consumer research, there is no need.

What are you talking about? I never said that is when they should start saving for retirement. Those are the years when they should be maxing out their retirement. Talk to an investment company, the largest percentage of your retirement is placed into your plan during your 40-50's. Ideally you would start as soon as possible but as mentioned the sad fact is that most people do not do so and are forced to do so later in life.

I was saying that pins are an investment as a joke, a little bit of humor that wasn't detected obviously.

Where exactly?
