Would the VH pin be David Lee Roth only, Sammy only or a combination of both? I think that makes a big difference in terms of level of interest.
Quoted from yancy:Whichever one is a better game.
Crazy; buying a pinball game because the game might be good!
I do like Van Hagar so maybe one itty bitty mode with one of his tunes, but I would be much more into a VH pin.
I do like them both but I can only think of 4 G&R songs? VH seems to have way more hits to play. I also think VH is more conducive and epic kind of music for pinball. I tried both greatest hits albums while playing with the sound off.
Both would have great soundtracks.
GnR would have Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, Sweet Child of Mine, Your Crazy, Rocket Queen, You Could be Mine, Don’t Cry, November Rain, Live and Let Die, Civil War, Patience, Garden of Eden, it’s so Easy, Better, Street of Dreams... and so many more.
Van Halen could have those sweet Hager tunes like Right Now, Best of Both Worlds, Summer Nights, Why can’t this be love, Best of both Worlds, Finish What ya Started, Pound Cake and you would have a winner. Through in a couple Roth era songs like Running with the Devil and Everybody Wants Some for the diehards and you would have a solid little pin.
Quoted from drsfmd:Neither. But if you forced me to pick one, I'd take Van Halen.
That was my first thought too.
I want Led Zeppelin!!!

If you can only think of 4 GnR songs I feel sorry for you
I've been over Van Halen since the second album. If I was going with an old high school band from around here, Social D would be more up my alley.
I guess GnR is just a tad more current.
As far as buying one, I'll have to see how much more stimulus money the government will actually be sending out. But I wouldn't be interested in Van Halen no matter what.
If they had a David L Roth figure on the playfield that depending on how you bashed him with the ball he would kick one leg straight up or both legs up to either side (you know like in the music videos) then maybe.
Man, I think I'm the only person I know that prefers Sammy Hagar / Van Halen (please don't down vote me) if they did Best of Both Worlds theme, I would be in...

You're not alone.. I LOVE the 5150 album, I could listen to that all the way through.
Quoted from o-din:That would be breaking some law.
But sure would be Living After Midnight being Hell Bent for some Leather.
Quoted from o-din:With your wallet.
I cannot figure out how to register that with the poll question.
It would be amazing if everyone got hyped up about a Van Halen pin only to find out Gary Cherone was on the back glass.
Would be a cruel, but hilarious.
Quoted from Viggin900:But everybody wants some
I want some too
Everybody wants some
Baby, how 'bout you?

Axel would throw a tantrum if the gnr pin was released with those images.
Rockband/Hero on PS3 released Beatles, Metallica, AC DC, Aerosmith, Green Day, and Van Halen. Most have become pins. No G&R, just saying!
Quoted from Viggin900:Green Day
What the hell is happening here,
Sabbath
Priest
Motorhead
I like GnR and Halen but these need to made 1000x over either of those bands.
Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:both would rock, instead we get little boy titles like ninja turtles, and stranger things.
Couldn’t have said it better
Quoted from o-din:Can we get a Van Heflin pinball machine instead?[quoted image]
A fitting day to be a low down Yankee liar.
I would like a Ronnie James Dio pin with Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and Dio Songs. Have Dragon bash toy.
Or maybe a Pink Floyd pin with a Wall bash toy.
Van Halen pin would have to have the red/white/black Frankenstrat pattern on the cabinet. Easily recognizable from a distance. I honestly can't believe this hasn't been made already. Either the license is too expensive or the band is not interested in doing it.
There are few themes I would buy sight unseen, but VH is one of them.
GnR on the other hand is only slightly appealing to me. Mainly because I know just how freakin' awesome JJPOTC is and the heavy rumors are the same designer and coder are on board.
