This just seems like a big 'fuck you' to the regular fans Not how it works. The company approaches the band and asks if they can design a pinball machine using them. The band didn't ask them to design one. Not even sure GNR gets royalties from the sale of individual machines. Price is not out of line with other brand new, just on the market machines. The only fuck you is when Slash kicks your ass on the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I don’t remember the earlier GNR pinball being so hated. And that’s when Axl was going on hours late and causing riots. Im happy for the pinball enthusiasts who will head down to their local pinball bars and enjoy this! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a good sign of the current state of the band. Depends I guess - if they have only say 12 songs then maybe they don’t want to release one of them on a medium like this? Who knows.

That's because on the other machine Axl was standing with his legs apart and you could slam him in the balls. This one you get the hat trick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they dont really care about the theme of the machine, but the collectability of it. When they buy these machines they they play them for about a half a year and then trade them or sell them off for another machine. As you can tell by the prices also pinball machines are aimed for a certain type of people. And by the way the collector's edition is sold out on this machine. Stock Availability: Reserve Now! That's what it says for the collectors edition on the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 It's a spontaneous reaction to point at Fernando (a result of fan PTSD ) about everything, but apparently this isn't his idea. Slash had mentioned he had started working on this two years ago: “I’m working on a Guns N’ Roses pinball machine, but I’m not a big collector. They take up too much space and the missus is always, like . . . ‘Really?’ ” https://www.a-4-d.com/t3100-2018-08-10-the-times-the-guns-n-roses-guitarist-slash-on-30-years-of-hell-raising-slash And then it was announced in 2019: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allwaystired Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I'm calling it now.....the recordings for this were what were being done when Slash's guitar went to Axl's house. Fuck me this year is shit unless you're super-rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it must be a mostly US thing because I don't think I've ever met anyone who owned a pinball machine. Might be because most of us have tiny houses over here. I presume they're very expensive? I have the original GnR one in my garage, but no way am I paying for any of these new ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiss have released two studio albums, three live albums and three compilations since CD came out. GNR fans would kill for that level of output! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
