Stern, 2022Quoted from vikingerik:Tom Sawyer, I'd assume. (Which I have no idea how it became Rush's signature song. It doesn't have anywhere near the energy of everything else from the band. I guess it's the main riff which is just weird enough to be interesting and fits in a radio-friendly format unlike the prog-rock epics.)
Correct.
Although after playing the game I did recognize a few others but I didn't know Rush was the artist.

That reminds me of this detail I just noticed. When the mystery award is cycling through the possibilities, there's a little musical "bip" note each time the text changes. Those notes are the main riff of Tom Sawyer, as quarter notes instead of the goofy time signature. I just noticed as I happened to get the mystery right as that riff was playing.
It’s all about the drumming breakdown, after the guitar solo, it brings the song back together. It’s the most well known Rush/Neil Peart drum fill.
The movie “I Love You Man”, shows a great representation of this moment

Rush is definitely not mainstream music. They had a few minor hits but they were always a Gen X male oriented prog rock band and a musician's band.
These two groups make them a perfect pinball theme though!

Tom Sawyer is probably their best know because it’s recognizable for that keyboard line and the amazing drum breakdown. The first time I remember hearing it was in an episode of futurama.
I did pick up on the mystery award pulling the keyboard line and thought it was a cool detail. Kinda like “Hoot Again” for the extra ball, ball save text between the flippers.
Call me crazy but I prefer this game to Godzilla by a country mile. It’s still a good game, but the music and call outs don’t do it for me, and I like the layout and rules better on Rush.
Quoted from ScoobaDoo:Another question….when the concert footage is shown during gameplay on the LCD screen…there is a lag with Geddy’s lips and the music coming from the speakers. Is this normal or is there a setting I can adjust in the menu? TIA
I think it be cool to splice in some personal video footage of my kids rocking to the band. So it is like they were in attendance at one of the concerts in the code. Every time I play it, they will pop up on the screen. Will do it once the code is closer to being final.

It's fun discovering all these thoughtful little things. My kids picked up on this one before I did. I also like that you and I called them bips and boops lol

My favorite callout is when you hit the right ramp, you can hear a very soft Geddy scream. Sounds like it comes from Bastille Day.
It's an even better callout when you get in a groove and can keep hitting the ramp!

Mine is when he says something like.... Hey you got a match, thanks Gary.
Quoted from Pinball-Obsessed:What’s the latest on expression lighting kits? Does anyone know?
Thanks.
I can *almost* guarantee you they are coming. I would be really shocked if this doesn't happen soon. I'm just not at liberty at the moment to say how I know.

Do you have any insight on the topper from your unnamed source? I finally broke down and got the LZ expression lights and am OK with those now, but I'd like to get the official topper if/when it ever comes out.

The ninja lights make the expression lights 10x better, highly recommend them

Mine keep changing but the other day I liked the spirit mode when they say something like all rush all the time but no commercial Interruptions.
And the tilt bob DANGER when Alex says something hey we felt that! don't shake the game!
I actually feel bad I shook the game.

I still laugh when Geddy yells " noooooooooo" when I hit the left outlane 
Quoted from Hayfarmer:I still laugh when Geddy yells " noooooooooo" when I hit the left outlane
Oh yes!
And... uh, I think you lost your ball man.
Quoted from VisitorQ:I have a feeling Rush is about to go up in value. People are finding out just how great of a game it is and dealers are running low on inventory. With no scheduled production of the game this year and more than likely a topper release, I think it is going to be a great year for us fans of the game!
Rush is the next Stranger Things. Underappreciated at release, limited production. Game slowly builds a following and is appreciated for its unique features and great representation of theme.
Quoted from DiabloRush:Rush is the next Stranger Things. Underappreciated at release, limited production. Game slowly builds a following and is appreciated for its unique features and great representation of theme.
Not really. It’s fun to say things like that in a rush thread but it’s not the same at all.
One year into stranger things and the owners thread wasn’t gushing about it, it was dogged on here hard. We were dead in the middle of a pandemic and manufacturing was just starting to really feel it. Rush is also a polarizing theme to most people and stranger things is a killer theme with more widespread appeal.
I was there from day one with that game and still have it, rush has been a good game since launch and has gotten better. Alas though, it is not the perfect storm of disaster that stranger things was which lead to its low production.
I too think it will be well regarded in the future, but it’s not quite apples to apples.
Quoted from parsonsaj:Do you have any insight on the topper from your unnamed source? I finally broke down and got the LZ expression lights and am OK with those now, but I'd like to get the official topper if/when it ever comes out.
My source says soon to both.

Rush has been the Stranger Things, since the 70’s, lol.
Quoted from SterlingRush:Rush has been the Stranger Things, since the 70’s, lol.
I've never watched an episode of stranger things .
Quoted from Hayfarmer:I still laugh when Geddy yells " noooooooooo" when I hit the left outlane
For a while I thought he did this when you drained on ball three when there was an extra ball available. Just a case of confirmation bias, though!
Quoted from squaresville:For a while I thought he did this when you drained on ball three when there was an extra ball available. Just a case of confirmation bias, though!
Would be funny if he said this when you plunge the first ball.
Quoted from Vespula:I do notice the call out "Nooooooooo!"only on drain of ball 3 with no extra balls unless I'm mistaken
Yup, and I recall only the left outlane, but I may be wrong, that's where I've noticed it
Quoted from Xdetroit:I’ve been working on a Rush topper. The RUSH will be lit and I have been playing with the items to the left and right of Rush. Here’s a digital mock up and the latest version with rotating gears. This is just a mock up and only the left side has a motor at the moment.
If any of your are interested in one, please let me know. Finished toppers or DIY kits available[quoted image]
How's Rush topper progress progressing? Any chance you could show us both sides moving and a lit Rush? Thanks!
Quoted from DiabloRush:Rush is the next Stranger Things. Underappreciated at release, limited production. Game slowly builds a following and is appreciated for its unique features and great representation of theme.
And another common thread between them is they both fully go all-in with the license. It's great to see a pin with such full-blown participation from the stars and all the media assets, compared to some of the half-ass licenses that didn't get real participation (Led Zep, Beatles, Bond) or where the media was in-house remakes (Jurassic Park, TMNT) or ignored the movie franchise entirely for cheaper comic assets (AIQ, Deadpool.)
I'll also offer up BKSOR as another comparable to Rush. It's going to have fairly few production runs, being a low-demand title in general, and with a playfield that's tough for casuals to handle. I expect supply on Rush to be somewhat low long-term and so its price will creep up eventually, like BKSOR did.
Quoted from GrooTheWanderer:If you haven't seen this video segment by IEPinball, it's worth a watch. Just under 60 seconds of magic By Karl DeAngelo to complete the achievement. The running reaction in chat (including Ray Davidson's) was great.
Wow that was incredible!
And that score is so ridiculous for a single mode it's almost laughable lol

Those notes are the main riff of Tom Sawyer, as quarter notes instead of the goofy time signature. I just noticed as I happened to get the mystery right as that riff was playing.
I still wish if the were going to use Roll The Bones assets with the mystery award, that they work in some Roll The Bones music somehow.
Thanks for the interest! It’s coming along slower than I’d like. Yes the plan is to have both sides turning and the RUSH lit with Bluetooth controlled LEDs. Here is where I’m at from a prototype standpoint. All the electronics will be run from a single plug that will feed into the head using the hole provided by stern. Also, the topper mounts to the existing head screws so the game remains unmodified (here is a short video with zero production value and my dog squeezing her toy in the background haha)
The motor I had plan to use can not be reversed so both sides would be turning clockwise. I just received new motors yesterday that are reversible but this means that I have to redesign a few parts to accommodate the new motor. I will also have to run the motor for quite some time to make sure that it’s durable. I’m also working on improving the lenses since the light is not uniform yet

Just curious how much everyone has spent on mods for Rush. I'm fairly conservative so I think I've only spent about $750-800. Of course, a big chunk of that was the Pinwoofers.
Quoted from Photopin:Just curious how much everyone has spent on mods for Rush. I'm fairly conservative so I think I've only spent about $750-800. Of course, a big chunk of that was the Pinwoofers.
Close to $400

$800-900. Buying expression lights from Germany wasn’t cheap.
Zero so far. I've just 3D printed what I want. I'll be on board for buying expression lights once they become available.
(To be fair I did take out my Pin Monk quiet fan, and my external volume control from my old pin before trading it in, so some money spent a while ago)
Dumb question…
do the expression lights come as part of Stern art blades? Or are those two separate things?

So you downloaded a Starman SVG you found on the internet, pasted a pinball onto it, and are selling the design for personal profit on a made to order t-shirt site because you want to crowd source a pinball machine...

I'm over $1000 now with the woofer and custom speakers. Will add ELs when they come out. Topper probably also.
Rush won't leave the basement so... spend spend spend.

Can't C&D a carwash or lemonade stand.
My point was taking Hugh Syme's artwork which is copyrighted, slapping a pinball on it, and are selling it for personal gain is stealing. It's someone else's work that is the basis of their livelihood. That's why copyrights exist.
If you want to make one for yourself, cool, go right ahead.
Put in some Infinity speakers and a bigger cab speaker last night. This game really benefits from improved sound. Flow for days. Loving it.

Dang, pinwoofers, precision flippers, ninja speaker lights, under cab lights and soon back lights, all the ninja protectors, rocket city flasher covers, Willipinball flasher covers. Thx for reminding me if how much I've spent

Enough that I knew before even receiving my machine, I created an Excel sheet to list/track.
Partly to remember what I had purchased, partly to see just how much additional I put into it, lol.
It’s a forever machine for my collection, so I went pretty deep with it. I’ll put it this way, I could have easily covered the cost of an LE vs Premium, but wouldn’t have all of the cool add ons, protectors, or fixes for that price.
