Quoted from Jimmyd044:When I hear LZ it reminds me of
Damone's 5 point plan.
My avatar agrees
(Except they played Kashmir after talking about Side 1 of Led Zeppelin IV)
Quoted from EMpins16:lol. Give me a mode where Robert plant is sword fighting and riding a horse like in song remains the same . Make it like the lightsaber duel in SW.
Obviously I’m kidding. I really want an acid trip mode where the game freaks out , flippers shake , pops are going off , strobe light , etc .
I’m kidding again , I think.
If we get 2nd tier art - like Star Wars, AC/DC, GOT - in order to put more in the game, I guess it's ok. There's precedent with Ritchie.
Quoted from Apollyon:Immigrant Song was in Thor: Ragnarok
"It sounds like a perfect fit for Marvel’s blockbuster Thor movies about the hammer-wielding Norse thunder god, which is why Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi was so insistent about getting it in his film — but landing the rights was no easy feat. It took the film’s music supervisor Dave Jordan the entire length of the production to get the go-ahead from Led Zeppelin, Waititi told Business Insider."
Quoted from Psw757:10 full length songs per Kaneda
Surprising. GNR has more multiballs than Zep songs.

Your progress through songs is something unique and something never done in a music game. Each song is divided into “sections” (verse, chorus, solo, bridge, etc.) and each of those sections have their own rules to show which shots are available. If you “finish” a song, it will automatically transition to the next song.
This sounds pretty cool.
Quoted from KevInBuffalo:Sounds exactly like GnR and not unique at all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I hope there's 47 add-a-balls to get us through.
Quoted from PinMonk:It's an atrocious idea for a toy, but putting something on it to slow it coming back down would make it look much better. Fast up, slow down would make it suck a little less. Just a little, though.
Or, maybe just grab a frog off EHOH and put it there.
The most obvious choice would be a Hammer of the Gods, but I guess that'd be too obvious and exciting.
Quoted from BeachPickle:Have noticed a lot of displeasure being directed at the overabundance of naked man angels on the playfield. So, I'm starting a new mod company with this design, which I call the "Red Snapper Mod", arguably a much more integral aspect of the band's mythology. [quoted image]
Red Snapper. Legendary.
Tim Sexton talking in a recent podcast is pretty interesting. I geek out over rules. I love the final revision of GOT, but I don’t want that in a super fast pin. I want some depth and cleverness.
Quoted from Charger68:Boys, this game is ripe for mods. Im already picturing the Red Baron's tri-plane hovering above the right wireform paying homage to zep 2, mothership decals for the zeppelin, bonzos drum kit pop bumper caps ala gnr. Cant wait to see the aftermarket.
Only 1 left! Go get em!
Screen Shot 2020-12-15 at 10.37.41 PM (resized).pngQuoted from xianek:I am working on an alternative... Backglass and Decals. I just want to see what it could be. This is a work in progress.
[quoted image]
Do it!
zep (resized).jpgQuoted from chuckwurt:Yeah good points on the wizard modes. They have to have some music there. Interested to see what that is.
I want to know what music is in the multi balls too. Usually they're different, like KISS w/Love Gun and Calling Dr. Love.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:If MM came out now everybody would say it sucks fucking ass.
You're not wrong.
Quoted from spinal:Look at the fkn icarus image with inserts just covering up random parts. No care. No consideration.
You're not wrong.
Quoted from insight75:Did someone day Saul Goodman? Yes we need a Breaking Bad pin!!!
Best drama ever. Hands down.
Quoted from jpc211245:I think something like this would make a good alternate translite for the premium.
[quoted image]
I think they should have based it on this photo. Probably the best photo of the band.
zeppinball (resized).jpgQuoted from chuckwurt:Maybe the center ramp from the spinner and upper flipper shots are more, “awesome if they happen, but not likely” type shots.
I saw a 3rd flipper shot up the center ramp in the stream. Couldn’t tell you when except that it was the first 1/2 hour.
Quoted from jalpert:We have to pay Stern $39 to be an insider to see the reveal video? That can't be right....
No there’s a free option.
Quoted from PanzerFreak:Did you just say Dialed In has the worst art and toys? That's a good one. DI also has some of the best gameplay in pinball on top of being a loaded pin with great artwork by John Youssi. That's my "fact".
Counterpoint: It's soulless and repetitive and the SIM shot is garbage. That's my "opinion".
I feel like we're all just yelling to yell. The situation sucks. Gov't effs up everything. Somehow, a compromise will be reached. It's all about $$$. Google and Amazon involved. Money will get sorted.
I saw the whole stream uninterrupted on FB. Then I can view the replay on Stern's website at any time. What is the problem?
Quoted from Elvishasleft:Jesus you people are a bunch of snowflakes... whining because you cant see a video of your 8K toy.
Artists have been getting ripped off since Napster and everyone is so used to stealing intellectual property that its now a problem to say thats not ok?
Put yourself in the artists shoes...
If you spent all that time and money creating something and any asshole anywhere could just reuse it and not give you a dime you wouldn't care?
People scream and hollar on here when their bootleg art is copied for fuckssake but stealing music is ok?
You want to use music on your lame ass podcast or you tube video? here is a novel concept maybe pay for it?... ... or create your own? otherwise STFU.
I agree w/a lot of what you said, except no one is recording music from an $8K pinball machine and ripping it to their iPod in 2020.
Quoted from Vitty:Noticed in the stream that they may have adjusted the artwork from the press materials. Particularly the portraits of the band members appear to have shifted around. Hooray! No more unicorn JPJ!
Press materials top / Stream bottom[quoted image][quoted image]
Unicorn Jones would be an awesome band name.

So damn lucky...
8G2J.gifQuoted from westofrome:It really feels like by Stern’s own precedent, the Premium should be the Pro and the Premium should’ve had more added (another set of drops, real kickback, more sculpts). If they had done that people would be pretty hyped, art aside. As is the Pro truly feels stripped to the marrow.
It's sad that if ANY manufacturer adds a real kickback to a machine, it's celebrated like it's a feature.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Unless it’s player controlled it’s not a feature.
Player controlled and make rules to reward the player for kicking the ball back into play to a specific target.
I like that definition.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:Its not just a standup target, oh no. Its a super double action target featuring ultra bounce back. Same goes for the super action spinners with dual 180 degree rotation. Stern loves hyping up the most basic items on a pin.
I love PR speak. It's fascination and an largely out of touch. My favorite from Avengers is the "interactive Dr. Strange spinning kinetic sling ring disc with dual direction velocity detection".
Quoted from JY64:LOL JJP has convinced people that G&R is full of toys
I've got no dog in the fight as I've dropped my LZ LE Preorder, but GNR is definitely not packed with toys. Spinning record? Nah. "Kinetic" diverter? Nope. Ball lock? No. It's 100% more impressively packaged and presented though than LZ.
I've watched the 2 Deadflip streams a bunch. Honestly LZ reminds me of a really fast early solid state but with modern ramps, sounds and lighting. Ripping a spinner is the main feature. Ball only stops in a couple gobble holes plus the spinner of course. Super fast. Super flow. Super spinner.
Presentation: GNR wins
Toys: LZ beats GNR 1-0
Music: Personal preference, although GNR has many more songs
Callouts: GNR for sure
Rules: GNR. Deepers, but greater risk/reward, but you better like multiballs.
Quick Delivery: LZ for sure
Maintenance: LZ wins
Fun: Up to you.
Quoted from RipleYYY:in fact, you misundertand...
the thing with GNR is to succeed to stay on 1 ball only, more than 1 minute ! that's the real test !!!
I think they either designed it and said:
We have all this great song content and holy crap this game is tough. Move the scoop to the middle and add a shitload of balls.
Quoted from PokerJake:There are 16 songs on GNR that I've never heard of, talk about overkill. Meanwhile every song on LZ is a classic, plus there are many more classics that could have been added.
I agree on Zep. Love them much more than GNR. GNR is really Appetite, Lies and a couple other songs.
There are better Zep songs IMO, but I understand why they included what they did. Still not convinced I like the rules though.
Quoted from PanzerFreak:GNR has a 6 ball physical ball lock that is made to look like the handle of a guitar, damn impressive. Theres also the upper mini playfield, moving stage light toys (that move up down / side to side), the moving mini drum symbols, spinning disk, multiple molded pieces, and the mini concert stage LCD.
LZ beats GNR in toys? LOL! Looks like more then a few were missed from your list.
Oh, you can get mini stage lights in LZ, they just don't come with the game and instead are on the $850 topper. Also, the lights only move side to side versus up down, diagonal, etc as with the GNR mini stage lights. What a joke.
Interactive toys or figures? I added Neca figures to my Maiden. That doesn't give it 3 extra toys.
Quoted from pduffy:Just ordered my mcfarlane jimmy page. +1 toys lol
Sweet. I'd do the same. The mini guitars site stuff looked cool too.
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Totally agree that saying Stern got it right is the epitome of a fan boy statement with no objectivity at all. It is barren with four ramps, two spinners with one rising, drop targets, Icarus on a stick, and three pop bumpers. And the call outs makes me think it’s ready for tea time and biscuits.
I am sure it’s fun but no way is it worth $7600 for the premium to me and the pro is too stripped to even consider. Regardless if Sterns hands were tied or not by LZ, it is still a bare bones pin with LZ music. Iron Maiden, Metallica, and AC/DC was done right IMO and IM the best of the bunch play wise but wish I loved the band because if it’s a music based pin I have to love the band.
I love LZ but not enough to buy it unfortunately. I was really excited for this pin but fell short big time. I look forward to hopefully playing it one day but can’t fork over that much money on a fast shooter that I haven’t played. Hopefully can play it and code comes through.
I think unlike Maiden (Eddie, The Beast, based on app) and AC/DC (Train, Bell, Hell, Devil), Led Zeppelin THE BAND doesn't have that kind FOCUS. Zep was blues, rock, folk, acoustic, etc. Probably the most united thing is the Icarus, and they certainly ran with that idea. But it's kind of without any real theme whatsoever.
