Title: Vote on Stern's next pinball theme
Post by: ajlaird on October 27, 2009, 10:21:44 AM
Yep, if you are on Facebook you can vote on Stern's next pinball theme.

They are looking to do a new pinball, but you get to vote (OK, give feedback) on whether it is AC/DC, LOST, Aerosmith, Metallica, or 2012!!!

Or maybe even a Michael Jackson theme...

If the money talks, then ACDC. I HOPE they do not make it because I would have to consider selling all my pins to fund the purchase  :lol

Personally - Metallica.  But I may then be in the same boat as you EB.  The sacrifices we must make as adults hey !!!

AC/DC would get my first vote
And metallica would be my second vote.
lets face it in 10 or 15 years time people will say "what was lost" or 24 or csi and so on but i am sure people will still know ac/dc and metallica.

the lock sequence should be "can i sit next to you" as the balls will all be side by side.
and a great big ramp or dual level p/f with the top level being "a long way to the top"
and let there be rock sequence. light,sound,guitar
then they could a have a set of drop targets with all the different drummers. @@*

the list of things they could do with ac/dc would be very long.

AC/DC would quite possibly be the biggest selling Stern for years, assuming they get the gameplay half decent, the theme will, um, rock.. .. ..  :lol

Metallica for me, my fav band  *%*
I do love AC/DC and have half thier albums and DVDs and been to their concert, but Metallica has a better variety of sounds/songs and I own every Metallica album and DVD.

For me - I would vote for a Leisure Suit Larry themed pin!

I'm sure Al LOWE (if he still owns it) wouldn't charge an arm and a leg for the rights to it and I reckon it would be a very funny game!

someone mentioned a michael jackson theme.
ummmmm, noooop, dont think stern supports kid touchers.

Acca Dacca for sure,but because they r not Americans, it will never happen.
if you have been to america alot like i have, you would know what i mean.

Totally agree. It would be fantastic to have a really ballsy machine . . . . long overdue.

Hmm, whilst I vote for a different theme - you make a very good point.  Can you just imagine bashing away on the pin, volume to 10000 with [insert name of band here] absolutley cranking *%*  Whilt Metallica get my vote, AC/DC would also be awesome.

Saw on the Facebook page last night that Stern had actually approached Metallica a couple of years ago and it went nowhere.  Anyone esle heard this?

Is it wrong to be so excited about something that may never happen?  I hate being disappointed :lol

I saw that metallica pin on another AP thread and was very impressed with that one of custom pin.

some of the wankers are even suggesting that metallica should or will sue the guys who are making the pin, if they had read the artical they would realise metalica paid people to make it. &^&

I think Stern should ask some of the previous designers for a non themed pin. See if they can come up with something cutting edge. Its been almost 10 years since we saw Williams roll out Pinball 2000. Maybe its time for something like Wizard Blocks or even better.

after playing wizards blocks again, hope it get released to the market . Still needs to be finished but I am sure this can be done
unsure if Stern could do it  bu then again stranger things can happen

still Stern will have some good titles  if rumours are correct in 2010
