I grew up listening to a lot of metal music and while Iron Maiden wasn't my favorite band to listen to I still like their music and I'm really enjoying the game as it was designed. But if not liking the music is the main issue with the game you guys may be in luck. The game isn't a band theme but rather a Legacy of the Beast Eddie theme which is really cool. Legacy of the Beast has it's own storyline:
As dark forces conspire to corrupt the fabric of reality, Eddie’s immortal soul is shattered and strewn across the cosmos – leaving a weakened, primal Eddie to battle across space and time facing off against the twisted legions of The Beast, seeking out the lost shards of his soul, and bringing order to the realms. With each victory, and with the aid of old friends, Eddie will restore his fearsome powers as he draws ever closer to facing the Unholy foe behind his fall… and thwarting a plot to unravel all of Creation!
What I would suggest doing is finding some dark and ominous instrumental music tracks and swapping them into the game via pinball browser in place of the Maiden tracks. This would act more like a score than a soundtrack.-If it were me I'd go with music from John Carpenter's album "Lost Themes". This would totally remove the band from the game and leave behind just the really cool Eddie storyline. In a way this is kind of works like an original theme because the Legacy of the Beast comics aren't well known or mainstream. The callouts and rules on this game are awesome and fit the Legacy of the Beast theme well!
Check out some of John Carpenter's "Lost Themes" album if you want to hear some music that would work well for this game.
