The other day on the radio they played a Metallica song I had never heard before and it was okay and I kind of got excited. Then they said it was from Death Magnetic, which tells me I didn't listen to that album at all apparently.

It was when they all got short haircuts. At that moment they sold out.

Since posting this, both ICJ and I played the Metallica table at Slingshot's in OKC (part of Cactus Jack's). What a marketing 180 that band has made. Yes, I was a Metallica fan back in the day when releasing a video for One felt like selling out. There was a time when wearing a Metallica shirt or having their poster on your wall made you a rebel. Seeing a Metallica-themed pinball table just seems... weird.

Dubstep pinball game... I like it. "Third Ball Locked: Dropping Bass". BWAAAAUU-WOW-WAWAWA-WAWAWA.

You know, with a powerful enough subwoofer, it might be possible bounce the ball off of the main playing surface onto some ramps or other areas above, adding a more 3-D style of gameplay. Pretty cool. The technical challenge, of course, would be how to integrate that into gameplay and board design without constantly triggering the tilt sensor.

I gotta admit that I don't care about the THEMES to these band-based games. Metallica, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, etc. I do feel that a dubstep pinball table would be the best thing ever. It is made for sick drops, pinball is.

This thread is here in case any of you guys play one.
