Quoted from The_Gorilla:Aerosmith...maybe. I am holding out for this fantastic pin ideajonas_brothers_1191029655_(resized).jpg
Me too. That way I'll finally have a "reason" why I'm always hanging around teenage chicas in the arcade.
Quoted from taylor34:It all depends on how they execute it. There was zero excitement for Metallica until the art was revealed, then everyone went nuts. Nobody wanted KISS either but it turned out pretty good from an art/design standpoint.
And GOT was a goddamn ugly dog until people started playing it and it shipped with killer code. Never say never.
Could come out all 70s hits with throwback art work and be the hottest thing since toasted bread.
Quoted from Rob_G:The music in the game still sucks though. It lacks energy and low end. The music in ACDC gets me going, MET doesn't. But, it's still a fun game to play.
Rob
I don't know anything aboot "low end" or any of that shit because it's a pinball machine, not a jukebox, but ACDC music doesn't really "get me going;' so to each their own.
Quoted from pinmister:I have to agree, especially with Spike 2.0 with LCD capabilities. I think everyone is ready for the transition. I really hope that Stern keeps the same size or slightly larger size LCD as the current DMD size and maintains the backglass look. Crisp video will be entertaining and a nice change.
This is exactly what has always worried me aboot the LCD coming to pins; how a 'lackluster' title turns out.
Now the choice of art becomes more important than ever. On one side you could have animations in crisp video like the MET art which would be great, or you could have a bunch of shitty video footage of their lame ass concerts and that angle....like a bigger WWE.

Quoted from o-din:I think the problem with an Aerosmith game is there is too much sappy material from the 80s that would overshadow the quality music they did in the 70s and it would be hard for them to bypass that era.
Funny the 80s is the "sappy material."
Quoted from o-din:The 70s and 80s were a long time ago. But I remember some of it fondly. Don't see a reason to clutter up my living room with these $8000 memorials to old burned out rock stars though.
That is true o-din, but as you well know, your opinion doesn't mean shit to Stern. You're not buying a new machine anyway, and other people are stroking each other off to get in line first.

Quoted from o-din:It really is sad to watch.
The creative element of pinball is long gone which was what made it special, and it's soul has died. Without a soul it's only a matter of time before the body dies too.
ahahaha...you think Gary has a soul; classic.
Quoted from Air_Pinball:I've played it a few times. I wouldn't say it was poorly done.
Maybe you need to play it a few more times...that will put you over the hump. That game is junk.
EDIT: Unless you just mean the look of it...being all pink and "50s ish" which I guess it is for the most of it.
Quoted from PinMonk:If you take out all the acts that wouldn't translate well to pinball,
Iron Maiden is easily in the top 20,
Well Stern can't do that; WWE, Mustang
Damn all the way in the top 20? Looks like I have 5-7 years to save up
Quoted from PinMonk:If the rumors are right, you have a year or less. Supposedly IM is already in the works, sometime after Star Wars.
Ahhh the magic rumors. You mean the ones we've been hearing aboot for the last 5 years? Is this after or before Jaws?
Quoted from dgoett:wiki says 90 million worldwide.
puts it much farther up the list.
Yeah album sales are notoriously tough to look up. Billboard vs RIAA it's just a headache.
Quoted from stoptap:Re-theme it into a Tron coaster.
I think after Disney shit-canned the sequel that's not likely. Sorry; not bloody likely.
Quoted from Fortytwo:And I totally hate games of thrones and walking dead (the shows). I don't understand how tv show pins can sell anything. Talk about low value pins in 10 years when no one remembers the show.
Coming from you that's funny.

Quoted from jar155:It's not worth arguing with Jody on Pinside...
Ah right just noticed whom it was.
LCD looks pretty cool...upper PF looks pretty weak but I'd have to play it. Sometimes an Upper is better if it's juts a quick thing
Quoted from o-din:Is it just me or are all these games looking the same?
Well it's Borg...obviously at some point he had to stop copying PL and find someone else; and whom better than himself.
Quoted from MRG:I wonder who BORG is punking, US or Stern with these lazy copycat layouts.
Stern has always known what Borg is & does. He aint the cheapest for nothin'
I sold my GB and had monies waiting to buy a machine and don't mind Aerosmith, interested in the LCD, and might be able to stretch just a touch over GB in the price department but BAM, fucking Kiss layout has me totally out. Too close guys...too soon
Quoted from iceman44:The pro has a spinner? WHAT?
Where have you been? Pro Spinners have been around lately. GB, GOT, Kiss
Quoted from Cornelius:Not even remotely the same thing as what Levi is saying.
I guess I don't understand your point then. Because Levi plays pinball he should show respect to every company that makes it?
What of he doesn;t like those companies machines? What are you trying to say?
Quoted from Cornelius:There are at least two companies other than Stern making pinball
He is shitting on everyone but Stern
Seems awfully disrespectful if not blindly, moronically fanboyish
Seems like exactly what my original post said then.
Quoted from iceman44:Well F me running, I never pay attention to the pro I guess,
Spinners aren't that exciting anymore sadly. I had to look up if GB had one and i owned one 
Got spinner good and can be worth some point though...most are just there for show and to make some noises.
Quoted from Cobray:... imagine IM, MET, and Tron with some cool, innovative toys.
Doesn't mean they'd be better/more fun games. Sometimes you can pack too much shit on a game and it can kill it...classic 90s DE action
Quoted from desertT1:The War Machine kickback (although the same as the ram on BBH) is pretty awesome the first time you hit it and then a challenge to control every time after. 2 magnets as well...
Well I 'think' the point was the kickback is from the 80s, magnets 70s (?), and a bash toy is apparently any target ever depending on whom you talk to. The Iron Monger elevator is cool...but you've had some similar things popping out of the PF before. Don't know if anything exactly like that

Quoted from BC_Gambit:Is it acceptable for companies to LOL and heckle their customers now?
What else should they do? You pull the post and everyone cries aboot their "free speech" or other nonsensical things.
Although Stern trolling customers aboot Kiss updates went a little far.
Quoted from LesManley:You have to address it and take the high road. Go read the Facebook comments on Target's, Best Buy's or Walmart's pages....When you fail to address people on Facebook, they then take their complains to places like Pinside where the company doesn't have any say and the issues just boil over out of control and then you get Change.org petitions, open letters, social media code campaigns ...
The other side would be, are people stopping going to Target, Walmart(s), or Best Buys? And if they are, (Best Buy?), is it because of social media?
Or to brass tax it, is any of this shit really hurting Pinball Sales enough? Now try to remove yourself from the notion "Pinside is pinball" and think if it's hurting them. Everyone bitched aboot BM66 and how fast did it sell? Fucking o-din (god bless him) spends his day bitching aboot Stern and their shitty themes and he has one!
Quoted from jar155:Social media is about having a conversation, not a place for scoring zingers off customers.
That's where the disconnect is. You think social media for Stern is aboot having a conversation, I don't think the majority of companies see it that way. Mostly because they aren't "fucking Millennials."
EDIT: I mean don;t get me wrong I like all your responses.
Quoted from LesManley:Absolutely. Social media is just one of a plethora of reasons, but people will absolutely stop using retailers if they feel they are being mistreated or not being heard via social media.
That's awesome, power to the people! Now you can go by your underwear & TVs at another store. Where else you really gonna get a pinball machine? There are other places sure but not as regular, not nearly the units, and much more of a hassle.
Quoted from LesManley:There are a couple other options now too so it isn't like you couldn't get one somewhere else if you really really wanted one.
Sure, what does Stern think aboot that? Fine, go ahead and get a JJP...our factory is running off the chains.
Quoted from flashinstinct:In case someone missed the video
» YouTube video
Sweet thanks for the link. Has some cool tricks but man I still think it looks too much like Jody.
EDIT: Er sorry sorry I meant looks too much like Kiss.
Quoted from o-din:I wasn't a real follower of the story, but was it WoZ that they said would not ship until it had finished code?
WEll technically Jack responded to games without completed code by saying "Shipping a game that isn't complete is fraud."
Quoted from JY64:I don't get it with all the Stern bash threads dimples,petition,Gomez promised code,kiss code,are you serious why do the fan boys feel the need to shit on a game thread.
There are a few reasons. New people getting into the game not knowing what to expect. people that have been in the game getting a shittier product. This shittier product costing more than it did before. George Gomex telling people there would be code every 2 weeks and then not doing it.
if you can't understand that then I can't help you.

Quoted from djreddog:If the "lock is lit" mode isn't enabled and you shoot a ball into the lock zone, the game still launches the ball in the air, only 1/4th the way.

Quoted from Who-Dey:I don't doubt that. He drove me nuts on the GB stream because he wouldn't shut up and I couldn't enjoy the stream because of it, then he kinda went off on someone using a KPG screen name which was very unprofessional
God that was bad. All the posting on that stream was totally out of control though...it was actually the best part.
The KPG thing was pretty damn funny...and all the kenada talk. Shit...that was actually a good time now that I think of it.

Quoted from Who-Dey:Well to be fair golfingdad, I am a guy that is still stuck in the 80's for the most part when it comes to music and I just hate music like that.
So you're stuck in the 80s but you hate 80s versions of songs made in the 70s?
