Better yet, play GnR with the sound off and the Zeppelin playing on your Klipsch speakers, and that way you won't have to listen to a singer that sounds like somebody's twisting his nuts off.

Cause Robert never screams like his nuts are in a vice!

LOL...good point!

I also like Rush and ACDC...same ridiculously high vocals.

Side note, while we are discussing Sterns next pin (and rock themes). I hate to say it, but if either company gets to do Pink Floyd I would prefer JJP. And they can do Floyds Pulse and/or Delicate Sound of Thunder tours! That would be freaking awesome!!!

Dwight can take your eyesight with an extinguished candle if he wants to!

He's the Chuck Norris of Flashers!

Would buy a Led Zep, Pink Floyd, or Zappa machine in a heart beat if done well

Jimmy Page has always been a stickler for sound quality. Led Zeppelin pin will have to have the best audio package ever.

Gotta admit, TNA was fun. Sparse pf but enjoyed it.

He'll need to be.

Exactly. I still have it, still love it. Great example!

Looks like there is about to be an eruption in the rumour mill.
What a legend. Id play it.

Stern won’t be able to beat JJPs GNR. I don’t think the penny pinching can produce a cool game like GNR. Next Stern will be another comic super hero. Yawn.

I think with the release of GnR a Led Zepplin pin may be pushed back and something non-Rock pushed forward.

LZ has to almost be done if not already if they were rolling it out within the next month or two as has been reported.

If it’s 75% of what GNR is and not a multi ball festival I will consider it a success. Doesn’t hurt that the music is better too!

Van Halen pin,a tribute to Eddie the legend lives on.

Maybe a combo pin with orange donald and pink floyd?
we all know what the pin theme would be.

So how did it feel when you played GNR? Good feel? Awesome layout?

If Waters has his way - maybe so. But I would hope they would just stick to the music and iconic Floyd imagery, lights, and sound.

If they put in any politics it would be a deal breaker for many, so I am sure Stern/JJP/whoever would steer clear of that. Probably doesn't matter as I think there is little chance we ever see a Pink Floyd pin anyway.

It's a lost art, lol!

Mostly everyone that’s played it so far says it’s amazing, then again pretty much everyone who’s played AIQ has said its amazing.

No idea why every reveal has to turn every thread into a Stern vs JJP shitfest!? Both games look amazing, I have a AIQLE on order and can’t wait but let’s get real JJP absolutely blew the roof off the pinball industry.

Because people are douchebags.

You ain’t wrong Law, honestly no need for the Stern vs JJP shit though, they both offer something for everyone, the hobby/industry hasn’t ever been this healthy and the quality of games is at an all time high, we should be a happy bunch of douchebags

Yep. No idea why people can't just say a game is great even if they don't like it. Admit it's just not for you and move on. Watch...it's easy:

GnR looks amazing. I hope the gameplay matches the look of the game. I'm not interested in the theme though, but I'm looking forward to playing it. I'm waiting on Zeppelin and hope it's as good...but I'll still be happy if it's not.

I'm a douchebag, but not the way TheLaw means it.

Because most people spend way too much money on these and feel like they have to justify the purchase to themselves, which involves articulating this crap to other people.

I only want to hear the opinion of wealthy people who don't even think of the prices and location players where every game is a dollar a go.

I can. Don't like Avengers as a theme, don't like the music, don't like the display, don't like the story integration but I think it shoots wonderfully and you'll love the game if you're into rules or not actively dislike superhero themes like me.

What about updated AC/DC with new cabinet and playfield artwork with LCD treatment like JJP Guns n Roses?

Why keep wishing for rehashed themes? We already have a great AC/DC pinball. An LCD screen won't suddenly make a game the best of all time. Hell there are a lot of guys who still love their EMs and SS pins and aren't interested in having upgraded versions with LCD screens. Enjoy the game for what it is and stop wishing for a new "updated" game every few years when they knocked it out of the park only 8 years ago.

Competition is good. The bar has been set. I think this is a good thing overall. All of the various pinball companies will try to compete for dollars. You'll inevitably always have a few duds going forward & some of them will be home run jaw droppers. I just hope the themes I personally want which could very well be on the horizon become home run jaw droppers and not duds.

No reason to vault ACDC. I like the game, but adding updated art and a LCD will do nothing to improve it.

Nah, boring layout. Five straight up and down shots, backhand everything, yawn. Doesn't cut it anymore.

Giving AC/DC updated artwork and an LCD isn’t giving it the GnR treatment there’s more to that game than just nice art and great animations, Stern would outright embarrass themselves if they tried to vault AC/DC as a direct competitor to GnR.

And before anyone gets their Stern Army panties all twisted, I’m a big fan of Stern and love their games, check my collection for that one, but anyone that’s been in this hobby for some time whether they are Stern fanboys or not have to admit JJP blew the damn roof off the industry with GnR, was it all JJP doing? No way without Slash being so involved I doubt GnR would have turned out as good as it did, will they be able to top it with their next release? Doubt it but would love to see them do it!

What Stern need to do is, bring out a new pin and try to top what JJP just did, new game, new layout, new ideas, remind JJP that anything they can do Stern can do better.... well maybe not better but they can copy them and release a lot quicker

JJP GnR doesn’t do anything for me personally. I think the hot rails are ugly and the gameplay is a snoozer. I also think having to hit seven shots just to hear music on a music pin is a big mistake especially for on location. Looks really cool (minus hot rails) but looks don’t make good pinball.

And that’s the beauty of this hobby with a few manufacturers now, something for everyone. I personally love the hot rails and I like the idea of qualifying to get into a song/track, never been a fan of the continual onslaught on music pins. Definitely excited to see Sterns next release and maybe response to GnR.

If Stern is doing a music pin next I’ll pass on that too. Unless it’s something interesting like a hip hop theme. Fine with me though pocket book is hurting this year anyway.

Could this hat on tonight’s stream be a sign?

Either a troll or a hint. KMan said December 2020 for Jaws but he also said it would be an Elwin. Doubt we would see two Keith games back to back.

...yep: a sign they're NOT making JAWS! ...they keep punking us over and over again...

No jaws!! Hit jjp back with a knockout ZEPP!!

Jaws would be great though

Jaws eating LZ pinball

LZ will not do as well as GnR regardless of what the game is like. Zeppelin is a great band but the music isn’t as fit for pinball not to mention a generation older. I’d be happy for you guys who want it if it got made but it won’t be a huge success. Just facts.

As for the Jaws hat I hope that isn’t a troll. Trolling your die hard pinheads doesn’t make much sense from marketing perspective.

Which is what killed the Hobbit. Looks beautiful, built like a tank...but a snooze fest to play...no satisfying shots. I hope GNR is different, I really do!

Personal opinion. I owned AC/DC and would own it again. 8 years is a long time and it's also red dots. Stern are big enough to vault old games and update them to LCD. Spiderman got vaulted as a whole new game and now Stern are in the LCD era, so it's inevitable that this very thing will happen to an old game at some stage.

Me some Queen pin....

For the same reason children fight over Xbox vs PlayStation. People are tribal, and they clan up to justify their choices.

Personally I couldn't care less. You might as well fight over wearing Nike or Adidas, it's ridiculous and silly. Who cares which tshirt you have on or which flag you wave.

But at the end of the day if you can't afford to buy both consoles or both pins or both brands you want to make yourself feel better about the one you picked so you put the other one down. Hate to make it about money, this hobby shouldn't be just for rich people, but I don't think you can avoid that reality. The ones who can afford both tend to not get into the childish pissing matches as much.

If you're blessed enough to be able to afford any of these expensive toys then I say enjoy them, be grateful for what you have in this time when so many don't, and try and be a little more gracious.

Who gives a shit as long as an LE winds up in my basement? I'm the king of buying games most people seem to dislike. Problem is (for others, at least) they're all great games.

Ain't nothing wrong with having GOT and TRON in your collection - my next pin will probably be Stranger Things, another game you have!
