Does Aerosmith have adult language in the game?

Yes, with a setting to turn it off if you wish

Attempting to update my AS pro and I keep getting an error on the machine.
I have tried two different jump drives that are empty other than the update file.
BTW the file is just over 3G so you need a larger drive than for say GB.

Thanks
Robert

Sorry if this has already been brought up - any owners who have updated to 1.03, are you guys seeing smart missiles? I don't think I've seen any since we updated our machine.

I think Smart Missles are a random mystery award and don't see them very often. If there's a shot that will give them please let me know

Had a pinhead friend come over and get to play AS for the first time tonight. He said AS is the most fun he has had with a pin in a long time and he is lining up getting one.

Play this game folks. It is ok to like it.

Getting a Pro tomorrow! I thought it was gonna be about a month but some unexpected stuff happened and it's tomorrow....can't wait!

Dude! It is the most fun I have had on a pin from the beginning ever. Acdc, IM, LOTR all I was not sure how good they were for a little while. AS is just plain fun. Funny as heck. Look at all the details - best art ever.

I will tell you what - I will give GB one more very good shot since I just don't like it as of now. I hope it will turn for me because I want to like it. AS was easy and quick. Maybe good things will come in time with GB.

Just installed mirror blades on this bad boy as well as the two instruction cards from this thread.
Also have a Modfather candy apple shooter rod on the way.

I don't think it's going to be able to beat my GB Premium but if it's even anywhere close I will love it. I really love my GB though lol.

Just got mine today. Set it up on location at our league spot. Cabinet and playfield look great. Beauty of a clear coat! And I love the Dirty Donny side blades. 20170412_142040 (resized).jpg

Looks fantastic! How do you like it so far?

Clearcoat is nice. I like how the toybox shuts with a nice rubber pounding thud. It shuts like it is solid and heavy and not cheap plastic. It may be early, but I feel like Stern tried harder to make sure things go right with this pin. Hope I am right.

It should be a good earner. Let us know how it does.

Only put 3-4 games on it so far, but happy to share first impressions. It's fun. Not a dud. The new display is a revelation. Animations get an "A". Sound quality is noticeably better. Top notch art package, better than Metallica. Plays fast, especially the scoop kick out and the ramps. Great ramps. Right ramp is tight, just like Kiss and TFTC, which I like, and you can backhand it. The lock shot is a little tight as well, but is gifted to you on occasion from the pops. No cheap drains except occasional magnet toss SDTM. Magnets are random by nature, so I see no problem there. Somewhat forgiving with a right outlane ball save. Ball lock, toy box and multiball start are excellent. Default Replay and Extra Ball settings are too easy I think. I'll be adjusting them upward. Looks and plays like Met and Kiss had a baby, but plays better than Kiss and no wood chopping like Metallica. Don't know yet if it has depth and legs like Metallica. Easier and more approachable than GB and TWD, but not as long-playing as SM. I'd say "just right" in that department. All-in-all very positive first impression. It will overtake SMVE as my new best earner, I'm sure. The only thing I can't tell yet is if I'll get bored of it after 50-100 plays, or if I'll keep wanting more. For now I am definitely wanting more. The first paid customer, a league player, was still going after 10 games straight, which is a good sign.

P.s. The clown's face paint is UV reactive and looks spooky and bad ass under black light! Some of the inserts are UV reactive as well.

Hope that info is helpful.

Great review .......thank you!

Ordering a Premium today! This wasn't on my radar, but got a chance to play the Pro and really enjoyed it. Was surprised, as when this was first announced I was a definite 'no order'. My collection is mostly music pins so I should've been a Day 1 guy, but held off due to issues with playfields, etc. Hoping the cabinet issue doesn't bite me on my order.

Same here, I thought this pin would be worse than WWE! What a pleasant surprise.

Why would you think it would be worse than WWE ? Not even close with any part of the design. Layout , artwork , shots...etc

Because I had no idea what the design and layout and artwork was going to be like when they first announced the game and I thought it was a weak theme.

AS would look awesome next to your Kiss, MET and GnR. Wow!!

Crazy thought.... think anyone would trade an AS LE for an AC/DC premium?

AS being new may be hard to find someone looking to trade right now but maybe later on you could find someone possibly?

Funny, I'm contemplating trading my ACDC Prem for an AS pro and some cash............ very tempting.

I think our AC/DC days are numbered... Plenty of time to figure things out though.

I did the same, sold my ACDC Premium & bought the AS pro ... oh, & put the extra $1200. I got for the AC/DC back into AS mods, including custom armour, Joe Perry mini guitars, shooter rod, shaker & upgraded Flipper Fidelity speakers. This ones a keeper. Best decision I ever made!

Really? I thought AC/DC was suppose to be like Sterns best ever? Are you saying that you like AS better than AC/DC Premium? I'm getting my AS today...can't wait.

OK, so two node boards, one solenoid, one roll over connector repair later, and my new AE PRO is finally playing 100%. It is no longer a shinny paper weight in my game room. Whoop Whoop! So far a really fun game. No second thoughts on getting this one. I can't complain about Stern's Customer Support, though it was frustrating to have so many out-of-the-box component failures.

Hey btw, regarding Aerosmith, they still get a LOT of airplay/exposure through the Rock N Roller Coaster at Disney. That's some heavy PR that makes them appealable to the subsequent generations. I don't think this was lost on Stern when they moved the Aerosmith project forward.

Cy

I have both and can safely say AC/DC is still king in that realm. AS is fun but would need a WHOLE lot more code wise to be better than AC/DC. Layout of both are good but AC/DC is classic fan layout and works to perfection.

Ive always heard great things about AC/DC Premium but never had the chance to play one. I did get to play one game on a Pro once and it was sweet.

Me to. Sold my ACDC Prem and got AS Pro and have no regrets at all. I had Acdc for a year and a half and enjoyed it but it was time with the bump in price to them in the past 6 months. Acdc was good but I had the same type of game on it again and again. AS is more fun to me. $2500 is in my pocket for the next game.

don't get me wrong, I really like AC/DC & kinda already miss it, but heard Stern's coming out with a VE edition in 2019, so I'll wait for the new LCD version & layout. And ... absolutely, IMHO if would say, hands f'en down, AS is way more fun! The shear thrill of working up to get a 6-ball multi-ball with that killer Jacky toy box feature, blows any feature on AC/DC all day long.

Yeah AC/DC is by far no Aerosmith; the biggest difference being the shots on Aerosmith are way better where as ACDC is just a retooled T2

Don't think it will ever happen and I own both.

ASLE is VERY,VERY,VERY FUN!!!

Sort of the same risk/reward as holding off starting Tour, Jam and Album multiball until all are lit. But no doubt that is a cool feature of Aerosmith, and the more balls the better.

absolutely, the ramps just feel way smoother on AS. Awesome making the back-hand shot to "lock" balls.

I'll admit I was a bit apprehensive, ordering AS Pro back in January, sight unseen. However, it's been here for 3 weeks now & I just cannot stop playing it! I wasn't even like that when I got my MET Premium. Just a killer pin! Anyone on the fence about buying AS ... go for it, worth every penny!

Agree, it is a dumb cost savings move. It's already hard to stomach today's NIB prices but hey lets make it worse by making it difficult to turn the game on, lol.

Yup,crappy move Stern !

Got my game set up and got to spend some time on it. The game is gorgeous, definitely one of Sterns best looking pins ever. The lcd is awesome as is the sound and light show too. Dont know exactly what im doing yet but its fun trying to complete the modes but im not having much luck at it because you dont get much time to make all the shots and it seems like it doesn't save your progress and makes you start all over? Im not on the new code yet, it shipped with the original code so I have to update that. Does anyone know what the new update added?

Maybe its just me but does anyone else think the clear coat on this pin is superior to recent playfields? It sure looks that way to me. So far im having fun and it is addictive and has some very nice feeling shots. I dont think this pin is going to be as good as my TWD, GB Premium, or probably even my GOT, but its fun as hell and I believe its going to be a keeper for sure! It gives my lineup something a little different seems like and that's a good thing. Everything worked great right out of the box and the game is beautiful, props to Stern on making yet another great game!

Are the premiums shipping? Looking for reviews of the artwork on the premium compared to the pro and LE.

I would try to stand in front of the game and lean over the lockdown bar. I think most should be able to reach the switch that way.

I purposely don't dig into rules and strategies on day one. I like to have the basics and then slowly learn rules and strategies over time. Just me.

I do know that Crank it Up will give you more time on the modes if you hit the scoop while it is lit.

Yes I noticed that too about crank it up. Kinda looks like you can do it one time per mode maybe. Trying to complete the modes is challenging and fun, Im just not having much success yet at doing it. The game is really nice though for sure.

if you never seem to complete a mode you can increase mode times in settings. Factory is 30 seconds. 40 seconds didn't seem to help me at all but I really stink at pinball.

Lol I guess I stink too because I'm not completing many either.

I've had my LE about 1 week. I haven't had a machine at home for about 5-6 years. Last machines I had were Family Guy, POTC, Sopranos, WPT, and a few others along the way. Had to sell the collection because the wife demanded the living room back. Well, I just finished the basement and couldnt think of a better pin to christen the new game room. My feelings on this game echo most of the positive reviews here so I won't rehash what others have already said. Needless to say I am loving this machine. Installed a few mods, plastic protectors, trough light, stern topper, plunger, side art, pin cup, and a few others. No issues so far, couldn't be happier with this pin. Sorry for the picture quality, havent had a chance to take the glass off use my Nikon.

Question.... The custom shooter rod, isn't it difficult to gauge the skill shop with an odd shaped rod end like the Aerosmith one?

Is this the first game where stern went with a surface mounted start button?
