And Stern listened...unfortunately I think replacing Angus on the Premiums and LE's was an even uglier mistake on Stern's part. I have an LE and I'm living with the change, but I find it looks like ass.
Imagine! Angus Young's face on an AC/DC pinball machine! What were they thinking!

I agree with your points Greg, but back then the general consensus, from what I remember, was that it was just too big and ugly. It does look out of place because it appears to be hand drawn and the rest of the pf is photoshop. I'd like to see what the bottom pf looks like with the face down there. Someday soon hopefully

Quoted from Rarehero:
The problem with the Angus face on the Pro was not that it was Angus...but that it looked like a giant decal covering up a missing feature. It had the exact outline of the lower playfield, and it's just taking up way too much "art" real estate to look good. It may have looked better on the LE, being sunken down and having its own lighting controls....but I like the LE lower PF for the most part. I think the inserts should have been covered with art so it would be more of a "surprise" when the face lit up.
