Yes, I have both.

Yes

Yes

Definitely could be a lot worse...

Oh, you know it!

Is he singing in Portuguese?

No. That would be an improvement and easier to understand I'm afraid.

Interested to see if part of his forced weight loss for the new tour included cardio training so he can actually sing while moving, or if they just lipo'd him again for aesthetic purposes and Vince still won't have the stamina to sing live.

I do find the videos people subtitle of his gibberish live endlessly entertaining, though.

New owner here!Since GnR has been in the lineup the wife has started playing pinball again.We’re actually learning the rules together.Anyway my son Andrew came over and fired up GnR and played four games straight.When he finished he turned around to me and says Now that’s the every music pin should be!Damn that was fun!

So about those snubber rubbers…. I just had to do another one and perfected a 5 minute method!!! Video and instructions coming ASAP.

Wow… looking forward to it.
Thanks

Felt the same, that's why this is the only music pin I ever bought.

Same! And you're welcome!

Here we go...

Put up a page that hosts the video with the brief instructions here:

Thanks for sharing. This should be a sticky post.

It is now a sticky/key topic, I see.
So glad I waited to do this task. My snubber is broken.
I got this now! Thanks SC!

The issue with that method is that when you push on the metal bracket holding the blue snubber it is rotating on the clear of the playfield. If it is a bit tight or hold to the clear, it could potentially scratch it or takes pieces out of it. Just be careful if you do it this way.

It looks to me that there’s a tiny amount of clearance when you pivot metal over Cliffy protector?

Something to keep an eye on perhaps, but the factory scoop does provide clearance so the part holding the snubber doesn't slide across the playfield.

Correct. Except that's the factory scoop assembly.

Not so much concerned with the end where the snubber is being held, but actually the end where it is still tethered to the playfield as I think that piece is directly against the playfield (basically where the posts are).

I'll try and do this over the weekend any report back on my experience. I am stock protector also

Very solid point. I have to agree, this 5 minute method is super, super high risk. After further consideration, and based on Mar3nBu's input, I probably would not recommend doing it this way. There's too much risk involved just to save about 20-30 minutes of time. This 5 minute method could still work to get in there if you don't move the metal guards around the scoop, and instead, use an 8mm socket or ratcheting wrench.

I added a disclaimer to the YouTube video & my post with the video above.

My buddy and I were talking about the bang up lighting and animation job they’ve done with GnR.Can you imagine what a Pink Floyd game could look like?I might start doing drugs again or at drinking to a mello buzz lol

I have a GNR but I am trading it in towards a Toy Story CE for the wife and kids. Didn’t want to keep both. Not kid friendly enough for when the little ones come over to play. Please accept the resignation of my man card. Me and fat 65 year old librarian looking AXL had some good times together, but now it’s time to roll with Gabby Gabby. Don’t worry. I’ll be ok.

Worth80 Best JJP GNR departure eulogy ever?

Still getting stuck!!Anyone else experience this issue?I’m at 6.8 degrees.I guess I can put all new balls in and try that.Have others had issues with this game doing this?

Pray for me.

Your wireform looks higher up ( or guitar part lower ) than in my game.

LTG : )

I thought I pointed you to the key post for this. Maybe I just meant to....
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/the-official-jjp-gnr-thread/page/384#post-6705312

Thought the same thing and then you posted this.

It looks like there’s only two nuts at the lower part of wire form and a single screw at the top?

I got my first opportunity to play Toy Story over the weekend and really enjoyed it. I hope you do to. It reminded me a lot of Wonka.

I think I have the answer now thanks to MikeS.I didn’t realize the strings lifted out of upper playfield
I like to ask to many questions before I start lol

DONE!

When you reattach the distal end of stings (above and the the L of the L flipper) make sure they are not torqued to one side or the other. I tried to center mine to drop more centered in the in lanes. By doing so it raised the L side of the rail ever so slightly and the ball would get caught.

You can lift the whole pinball machine and tilt back and the down and this will unstick the ball.

What Lift the machine up lol I felt like it but I didn’t.I thought of centering more but thought it might do what you said. I’m glad I asked about removal it’s much simpler then I thought

Does anyone know what triggers the divertor on the right ramp by the speaker stack?

I think it’s triggered by “on the road” and when the inner loop or coma shot is needed during a song or mode

Thank you sir

Back to patches. Fender seems to be one of the first ones most people get. I always go for the gun, because it says it increases all patch scoring. So do we get points for each patch, and more points for them if you have the gun first, or does the gun increase the impact your patches have? The other thing about the gun is since I like playing AFD songs, when you add the rose it increases scoring on WTTJ and PC.

It increases the scoring that the patches do.

And this is a great way to go about it. Gun is usually 4th or 5th for me. But this totally makes sense and I'm going to try it out!

For highest points I go for gun, fender, Vater, duff skull, and franks drumsticks. After that I’ll go for the rose, if I’m low on balls I’ll go for the other sponsors. I think the sponsors help boost overall song score anyway plus the extra ball award. After all that then I go for candy, amp, lights and etc, sometimes I’ll throw in Appetite for destruction patch if that’s the album I’m playing in case that increases scoring in those songs.

Once I figured out that the rose disabled the magnet, I never went for the rose anymore.

Curious as to why. Unless I am missing something, the magnet ads basically zero value to the game unless you want it to grab and drop it down for an extra ball. But I usually just save extra balls and wait till multiball to grab them. So it’s basically useless to me.

I just enjoy the action of it grabbing the ball. Why have it only to almost immediately disable it by collecting the rose?

It's all about the timing , like sevenrites said , you can get extra ball easily with the multi balls , or shooting through the pops , but I do like how the magnet grabs it .

Fair point. So you doing that is not really strategy related, more of a preference.

Once in a blue moon I think it would have been helpful for me when I was down to one ball and an extra was sitting up there. Usually I don’t have too much trouble getting extras though.

Speaking of which, the other day I had 6+ extra’s sitting. New record for me. It didn’t help me break my high score though. Blew them all and ended up around 150,000,000 after losing 55,000,000 plus to a tilt on WTTJ.

I don't really have a problem making the shot from the lower flipper to the center rollover lane. It's kind of like the left ramp on Maiden, more mental than anything, but if you see it as an open shot and ignore all the stuff you're shooting past, it's pretty easy to consistently make. I just like to keep that magnet active.

Do you think the magnet helps you get more balls to drop down into the pops during frenzy in a song? I usually go through the spinner to get there, seems a little more direct and I feel like I can clear the balls from the flipper area faster with that shot than an orbit. But it might make sense to utilize the magnet to send some into the pops that way too.

I can't say I've noticed the magnet grabbing during frenzy but then again, I'm usually in a frenzy myself so I might just always miss it.

I never really noticed it grab during frenzy either.
