Oh, it's coming. But not next. They are pretty much running out of classic rock bands that anybody still cares about. So this one for sure.

When they get to Styx and Journey, half the Stern Army will be turning in their badges.

After Maiden, it will probably be Judas Priest's turn as they work their way down the classic metal ladder.

I don't think you have to worry about that here.

My only concern would be if it would cover songs from Sad Wings up to Hell Bent.

If it only has two songs it would have to be Wrathchild and The Trooper.

I was an early fan of Priest. Showing up at the Starwood club on a Monday when tickets went on sale for their Hell Bent tour and being the only one in line. But they filled that small club and blew the roof off the place.

In fact when we showed up at the box office, all we found was a locked door which we pounded on for about ten minutes until some sleepy eyed dude opened it and didn't know what we were talking about. But he went back in and found the tickets we were looking for.

I do believe they are missing a couple songs here at least, like Sinner, Genocide, and Burnin' Up which I'll never forget. and somewhere out there there is a bootleg recording.

One of the last shows they did with Les Binks on drums. That dude was amazing!

True, but Halford has a Harley and a real fully automatic sub-machine gun. I could go on about getting hit in the head with one of the blank shell casings....

Priest was already a legendary band by the time Maiden released their first album. And they are in the Rock and Roll hall of fame, which seems to be one of the criteria for having a pinball game.

That didn't stop Marky Mark from taking the job.

Let them do Maiden. as long as Priest is next. I got my dream songfest already made up.

Tyrant
Ripper
Dissident Agressor
Exciter
White Heat Red Hot
Hell Bent For Leather
Burnin' Up
Breaking' The Law
Grinder
Rapid Fire
Screaming For Vengeance
Electric Eye
Freewheel Burnin
Love Bites
Some Heads are Gonna Roll.

How bout a thread about why dinosaur rock band pinball machines shoulda never happened in the first place.

And Aerosmith was great.... in the 70s....

That's where I saw Priest on the British Steel tour.

There were a lot more people that time around. Sucks that they had to eliminate some of the older songs from the set, but that's progress for ya!

Look at the music games done so far, and tell me with a straight face Priest doesn't fit right in. If anything they are above what's been done so far.

This is really bothering you, huh?

Is that that dude from Spinal Tap?^^^^^

Some of these guys here seem to be getting a little bent, so I'm going to get it back on topic.

Well, you don't need to insult me now do you? I already said I was all for a Judas Priest pinball machine so what more do you want?

Or does that hurt your feelings too?

Plus this thread has been off topic since it started. I haven't seen one owner of Stern Iron Maiden chime in yet.

Finally somebody's on topic so all the whiners can stop whining!

Do you have any pics?

Cool. I always liked the look of that game but never played one. A guy in the area has a HUO one for sale but his junk is usually too rich for my blood.

Not sure if there is already an Iron Maiden club thread, but I think the OP should consider making this one it.

I get it too. I'm guessing you are one of those guys that just won't let something go and like to constantly point out somebody elses faults to maybe make you feel like a bigger man, but I really don't know.

I'm only human, and maybe occasionally I change my mind.

Case in point and you're more than welcome to go shit on this thread too if you like.

You really are obsessed with my posting history aren't you? I really have no idea why what somebody else says on an internet forum really bothers you so much. It's only an opinion, which of course can change from time to time. I don't expect anything I say to change other people's views. And they are certainly allowed to have their own and I'm not going to tell them they are wrong for posting them.

But I'll take it with a grain of salt and just let it go myself.

I'm guessing at least in school you never got reprimanded for not doing your homework.

Real good selective memory for sure.

Tell you what, from now on when I use the word "dinosaur" I will stick with ancient reptilian creatures so it won't bother you any more. How's that sound?

PS- some of those quotes were definitely not mine. I never mentioned a toilet, but that seems where this discussion is heading.

Rumor on the street is they will be doing a Jaws/Siberian Orchestra hybrid pinball machine soon. Then comes Pulp Fiction with a Celtic Women soundtrack.

I had a list a mile long, but you know with these pinball machines they can only fit so many.

You know I'm going to use the pinball browser to get Let Us Prey in there somehow.

No, he's gonna say "bring on Jaws next!".

Well, they were pretty smart releasing the regular premium VE first.

Paul Di'Anno was the original singer and appeared on the first two albums. Rumor is he had some issues that left him unable to consistently perform, so they replaced him, and the band has never really been the same since

The original guy has aged well too.

Paul-Dianno-photo-620x264 (resized).png

By the look of him, he could still kick his replacements ass.

Maybe not, but I wouldn't fk with the guy.

Still I think he looks more the part of a frontman than sword wielding opera boy. And when in the band he had a way better voice.

Maybe he wasn't in it for the money, the fame, or the long grueling tours. Or even hanging on to the past doing the same thing over and over some 30 years later. He's moved on and has been doing his own thing ever since. Good for him!

It's hard to say. He seems a more low key, part time performer. Some people in the music world aren't built to go full speed all the time showing up where they are supposed to be every day. Who knows. They found a guy that could handle that and keep them going.

But we still have Soundhouse, Live+!, the first two albums and Maiden Japan, which are all time classics.

I have a fair idea why. It's typical that many music fans are bandwagoners that get on board after some act makes it big and weren't around or paying attention in the early days. And that's all they know or want to know. Or hate to admit they missed something. Or if they did, it couldn't have been very good.

And to be fair, I just finished watching two hours of air disasters, and not once did they mention the current singer.

And Dickinson was really killing it when Di'Anno was fronting Maiden. Check it out!

But I prefer this.

I'm guessing there is no way they could make a respectable Iron Maiden game without tracks with both singers, so it will probably have something for everybody. Redoing tracks off the first two albums without Di'Anno would be lame.

Some of their other songs were Hammerhead and Biceps of Steel. lol. The list goes on....

No, but I was listening to "Wrathchild" while others might have been listening to "Manwatcher".

Wow! Even drunk as a skunk, he still has a better voice than the new guy.

Yeah, I buy every game sight unseen no matter how crappy the theme.. Where do I send my pre-order money?

You do that, and let me know how many Di'Anno songs are on it.

You guys should just be happy they won't be doing Dickinson's prior band.

At least somebody understands my potato.

And has anybody else noticed the irony?

The man that once sang-

"I Wish I Was the Saddle of a Schoolgirl's Bike"

is hot topic as being the next music pin, yet the guy that was supposed to design it got fired?

It is what it is dude. There should be no double standards in pinball.

So Bring Your Daughter, Bring Your Daughter, To The Slaughter, Let Her Go. Let Her GO!!!!

What's it to ya!

These wankers want a pinball machine with that Dickinson on it. And out me for tellin' em the way it is.

It's Di'Anno or nuthin!!!!

I aint comparin' shit. Except one guy sings about being a girls bike seat and steel biceps, and the other guy sings about being a wrath child.

Well let's get this party started then!

And show these people the new guy isn't the only one that read some books.

I was hoping somebody might be paying attention.

Anything would be better than Rush.

So 2020 then?

I'm sure Paul Di'Anno will eventually be coherent enough to sign the necessary papers.

For those that weren't there, I'd imagine it was something like this.

This just in!

Due to licensing issues and near completion of the game we have a compromise!

You're talking about a machine that in best case scenario the main playfield toy will probably be an Eddie bobblehead and you want all that!!?
