Quoted from usandthem:The band ended when he passed.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Taylor is in the teaser goddammit !!!
Quoted from bigehrl:his passing is really sad. but the band will continue, as the chief songwriter, creator, and face of the band is still alive.
Quoted from insight75:Rush without Peart is very different than Foo without Taylor. With all due respect to Taylor....its not the same thing. Foo will go on.
Pretty sure he is talking about Rush/Peart there.
Quoted from simbob:Where is the image from?
Foo Fighters tour email
Quoted from Fsdre:Is this a pro??
Unsure, Foos only linked the 1 image, with no other real info.
Quoted from bicyclenut:Man youre fast. I woke up and saw this in my inbox too from Foo Fighters tour dates.
I saw the email from Foos come in, and even myself surprised that it had the pinball machine image. I was looking at the dates of the tour!
Quoted from bangerjay:The Outlane kickout idea
You mean the part Jack had on his homebrew, 3+ years ago, and posted about, a couple of years ago?
I mean...at some point, hasn't everything in pinball been tried? Only so much you can do, if it was even inspired by the metal bit in your post.

Quoted from Theganch:Very nice guitar.
Josh Homme has had a few nice custom guitars around that time period. I remember that the bodies were made larger, to fit his taller frame.
I was lucky enough to see Them Crooked Vultures 3 times during their short span.
Was great to see John Paul Jones on bass and Grohl pounding the skins. Seemed the perfect fit for Homme on vocals (and Alain Johannes backing up the guitar parts) Some of the best shows I’ve seen.
Man…..don’t even get me started. Still the one concert I shrugged off with a lack of interest, only to kick myself on the regular, for missing it. TCV was such an awesome side project, I keep hoping we get a sophomore effort….just probably not going to happen.

Quoted from donkadelic:Cool, another boomer rock band pin. This one featuring a dead junkie drummer. Which watered down dad-rock band will hip-Stern pick next?
Quoted from Sonics99:Yeah the ZY ones are extremely hard to find and expensive if you do. There are a handful of like 10-15 of them that you can find pretty much anywhere. Amazon, Etsy, etc... I assume these are ones from artists that released the images publicly. I love the ZY one with the girl that is on the side of the LE. Was hoping to find that somewhere to go on the wall next to my premium. There is a sick one from Cincinnati (not ZY) but of a girl wearing glasses and it looks like the front of a tabloid. Would love to get that one up too. Think it fits great. Don't know the rules around how these things are printed / owned etc...but would have been awesome to get some modified versions out for this release. Probably would have sold them all no problem. I guess it devalues the originals. Though I find posters an odd collectable. But limited is limited I suppose.
Yeah, I wish Jeremy/ZY had one made for the game, or would make one for it, for those of us art fiends that match art to our pins.
Quoted from Green-Machine:Why would Stern make an expression lighting ready pin with little hope of having them available anytime soon? I could make an assumption but I won’t do that
Ask the Rush owners, I’m sure they’d like to know, too.

Definitely the only LE I plan on spending this type of money on. Crazy to drop 13k on it, BUT.....the foil side art, the expression lights, and more importantly, the dead post, combined with me being a big FF fan, this was the perfect storm of money spending.
Quoted from PantherCityPins:Here’s my dead post experience after about 100 games.
- if the ball doesn’t have enough pace you sometimes have to give a nudge forward to give it enough juice to make it to the flipper. If it’s really slow it may be a lost cause.
- if it’s got a ton of pace, it will sometimes bounce up more vertically and hit the raised left flipper and drain. Mine only does this occasionally so I haven’t bent the apron or anything.
Yep, agreed. If the pace is slow, chances are even with good timing, you may not save it. I'm fine with that, I like the randomness. I'm probably at around 8 out of 10 myself, at 7 degree pitch.
Quoted from snaroff:Yep. For me, the LE is one of the most challenging games Stern has produced in quite awhile. At 7, so fast. No pops to give any break from the furious play. It's all good, since I find both Rush and GZ too kind and gentle. I prefer shorter playing games, but at the moment, FFLE is a little too short a player I need to just play it more...the left ramp is one of the most deceptively dangerous shots. Sure, it is safer with the left flipper, but that's just not practical if you are going to have fun and progress with the game (the shot needs to be mastered from the right flipper).
There are times with FFLE, I can pick a song to start the game, and not even hear the end of the song before the game is over. It can be brutal at times, but I keep hitting start.
