Stern, 2017Quoted from Saltimbanco:Ain't nothing wrong with having GOT and TRON in your collection - my next pin will probably be Stranger Things, another game you have!
Stranger Things has been played every day, nonstop, since I got it in February. The game is freaking amazing (especially with the UV kit). The people around here never gave it a chance...they're just dead wrong about that game. You'll love it.
Quoted from SLCpunk2113: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.
I'll take that bet

Yep. Another difference is that GnR popular songs are some of their best, and LZ popular songs are some of their worst, (or we have just heard them so many times that they make our ears bleed.) Stairway to Heaven, Black Dog, Whole Lotta Love. Please let me never hear them again.
Quoted from Hayfarmer:Jaws would be great though
If Jurassic Park was codenamed "Jaws," wouldnt making a codename Jaws machine and an actual Jaws machine so close together cause some kind of internal confusion?
I guess I don't really know how or why they use a machine's codename.
They’ve teased, cajoled, pointed and laughed about Jaws so many times, I’m tired of it.
Nice marketing Stern. Enjoy your success. While you can.

Unfortunately the same can be said about any artist that had popular hits that were over played on FM radio or Sirius XM.
Quoted from frankmac:This might be 67Th time I have said this but I would love me a JAWS pin!!
I think you have more change if 67 people ask for a JAWS pin instead off one men ask for 67 times.
Quoted from pinballwil:I think you have more change if 67 people ask for a JAWS pin instead off one men ask for 67 times.
I'll accept that challenge: I would love me a JAWS pin! Now we just need 65 more...

LZ must come first!
Quoted from Psw757:LZ must come first!
I'm in for both, so it doesn't matter which is first (if Jaws actually ever comes out at all).
Quoted from Dicky:Wonder if Led Zeppelin is actually code name for something else ?
Don’t think so

I agree but from a slightly different point of view, Stern won’t top the attention to detail and full package of GnR because they rarely offer a full and complete package, then again JJP wont top GnR no matter the group/licence.
I doubt any music pin will top JJP GnR, the game looks amazing no doubt but a lot of what took GnR to another level is down to Slash and his involvement, without Slash they wouldn’t have got Fender, Gibson, Vater the overload of footage and assets and custom audio form the band, not to mention probably the best inclusion on the game Live and let die!
I do hope GnR pushes Stern to make a complete package moving forward, love my Sterns but there’s always something missing or that falls short from making the whole package cohesive and complete.
Quoted from frankmac:This might be 67Th time I have said this but I would love me a JAWS pin!!
68th actually.
Quoted from frankmac:I am not asking for Jaws more than 75 times. So Jaws fans are going to have to help out!
I'm asking too. JAWS, JAWS, JAWS...c'mon Stern. We'll even get a bigger boat.
I want Jaws to be made because it’s my distributor’s dream theme. He’s a good guy and he deserves it. Come on stern!
Quoted from pinballwil:I think you have more change if 67 people ask for a JAWS pin instead off one men ask for 67 times.
Silliest statement on Pinside. Put the drink down man...

I agree. That person we've never met deserves nice things!!

I think your spot on. The fact that one of the band members was so intimately involved is kind of a game changer. The amount of assets poured into that game is whats really impressive. So much so I don't think you'll ever see something like that again as its just too expensive. I'm actually looking forward to seeing what Stern does with LZ...great music, and I hope its in the same league as GNR.
Jaws would be an awesome theme if Stern gets movie assets. I don't want to see a cartoony Jaws game.
Quoted from PtownPin:Jaws would be an awesome theme if Stern gets movie assets. I don't want to see a cartoony Jaws game.
Like this? 
Jabberjaw (resized).pngCurrent movie themes are probably a no-go. IMO there is literally nothing cool enough out now to warrant new machine. I'd say it'll be a retro theme title. RE: New music game... man I'm not sure about that either. As much as GnR stole thunder from Stern I highly doubt they can be that reactive to the scene.
Quoted from chad:Like this? [quoted image]
It woundn't surprise me .... JP was a dream theme of mine, but with no movie assets it was a major let down.....although it still turned out to be an incredible game
If would like Jaws to be done just to make frankmac happy! Dunno the guy, but Stern wouldn't care less about this post anyway, so may as well make one pinballer happy!
Having said that, I sure wouldn't say no to a Jaws myself..!
Quoted from Dicky:Wonder if Led Zeppelin is actually code name for something else ?
Screenshot_20201010-151805_YouTube (resized).jpgWas talking to my wife last night about the possibility of LZ and went to Spotify. It's almost unreal how many amazing songs they have. I'm a late 80s/early 90s kid so LZ was always there but not front and center, so I'm always kinda mindblown at just how many great tracks are theirs.
Admittedly I'm not sure how any of that would translate to a pin, especially theme-wise. But I do know I'd get far more listenability out of a LZ pin than any other current band machine, so bring it on!

I totally agree. Some of their less popular tracks are amazing. I don't think the pin would work with the "X numer of songs" model. It would be great to some way work in the songs you want, even if the light sync is not there.

Mostly I am curious if there is going to be a new bar for number of tracks. Maiden has like 12 songs or something around there, right? With GnR at 21 I feel like any subsequent music pins are gonna have to up the ante. Luckily LZ's catalog is massive.

That’s not going to happen. Those choices are made because of licensing. GnR is a special case because Slash is into pinball. In normal situations you are negotiating with a record label for assets. 12 is going to be about as good as it gets.
Quoted from gregh43:with the Jersey Jack Release or Guns N Roses i don't think Stern's next title won't top Guns n Roses..
I agree. It definitely will top Guns n Roses.
Quoted from MRG:LZ better have Robert Plants head singing to me as a topper
And a swatch of Bonzo's casket lining with the SLE.
Quoted from beelzeboob:I agree. It definitely will top Guns n Roses.
I'd be shocked if its even in the same league....
Quoted from Hawks:Sterns next is apparently Queen, 2 weeks till reveal
Not Led Zeppelin
Highly unlikely.
Quoted from Hawks:Sterns next is apparently Queen, 2 weeks till reveal
Not Led Zeppelin
Looked great in my dreams 
Quoted from Hawks:Sterns next is apparently Queen, 2 weeks till reveal
Not Led Zeppelin
I mean this is also more than acceptable. Get me some of those live assets - Freddie was a boss on stage.
Keep yourself alive during Seven Seas of Rhye multiball!
Quoted from beelzeboob:I agree. It definitely will top Guns n Roses.
Hey, GravitaR ...you downvoted me and all I was doing was agreeing with
gregh43 's double negative:
Quoted from gregh43:i don't think Stern's next title won't top Guns n Roses..
So you, sir, get this: 
Quoted from PtownPin:I'd be shocked if its even in the same league....
Please see above. I give up. 
Quoted from Hawks:Sterns next is apparently Queen, 2 weeks till reveal
Not Led Zeppelin
If this is true, than this is the "studio" title for 2020. It could be the re-themed quicksilver rumor.
To early for a new cornerstone, but Stern Studio titles have mostly been revealed in September or October. (Elvira, Beatles, BM66)
