FOO Fighters took their name from a World War 2 term used for unidentified flying objects so that’s probably where the aliens come from.

How many jabs do I have to take before I'm allowed to play?

I agree 100% with your assessment that only unknown is JD. I love the Foo’s and ZY. I just want this pin to be in my collection for a long time. Looking forward to the playfield reveal.

I think it will be good, but we won't know until tomorrow when they show the game.

Jack got alot of backup at stern, meaning that he can check back every idea he has with the best designers. Should be a safe bet, right? 😛

JD fan girl checking in. 100% agree though. I don't think Jack would want a free pass and would prefer for merit to be earned by accomplishment and not fandom. I'm not worried though, what he did with JDJP was pretty dang good for a home pin. I'm looking to own one. You also forgot Tanio's amazing code work on DP!

I really hope the alien’s in this game keep the game from being, play a song…finish the song…collect albums…do it again, play another song ect. Like other music pins. I think you have a good point about danger not having history, but I think he’s going to crush it (based off nothing lol) but can you imagine if he really nails this, stern has danger and Elwin, both making legendary games and combo that with zombie yeti. say goodbye to all other pinball manufacturers.

Nailing it Cary! I think being more than concert footage and having “alien combat” involved will help it cross different generations of players. Fingers crossed for gameplay.

7:41 yeeeeeah there it is!! I made the correct assumption on Cary's possible hangup on this game. I totally hear it and still can't wait to just see the layout. Since I get (almost) every Pro AND LE on location in Rochester, I'm looking forward to a "new" designer in Jack - I'm not on the hook to be blown away in order to purcahse one.. That home pin was underwhelming but what was he supposed to do with that BOM and the boss keeping the training wheels on?

100% Cary - Especially the R Rating - I have faith in JD - I think what he did with Home Pin was amazing given its limited resources to work with

I'm really hoping for a Fresh Pots Multiball 🤞

I was disturbed when you said "ding my dong". Ding it yourself!

I like the fact that they are playing upon the actual meaning of "Foo Fighters" for the theming, instead of just making this another music band theme. There is so much that can be done with the UFO theme as opposed to just more of the same live concert assets. Hopefully the layout ends up as good as i'm sure the theming and art package will be.

When will Stern put out an Eminem pin?

I mean the bar was set pretty low with Bond 60th...LOL I have no dog in this fight, but Jack Danger knocked it out of the part with JP. So, we shall see! More pinball is always a good thing, band pin or otherwise. Hopefully there is an R rated one to coincide with The Godfather.

Think you nailed it. Count me in for the live stream. Next time, cya...

@Cary Hardy Yeti does a lot of Foo Fighters poster art as well. So I don't see album covers but tour posters (many are alien themed) for art. Look forward to seeing it tomorrow!

I wasn't super excited about the theme when I heard it.. But have gotten more excited about it as we have learned it seems to be going into a different direction than most music pins with them fighting aliens...once I heard and saw that I have gotten excited for what this pin could be.. Cant wait to see it and hoping Stern knocks it out of the park

Game for a laugh and not taking themselves to seriously is a recipe for a fun crazy game

I love foo Fighters can't wait for this one may have to sell some pins to get one

I'm excited for it mate. Now where's that 12th mortgage application ?

Jack Danger.🤣😂🤣😂🤣

I love the idea of fresh blood 🩸 especially from Jack danger who’s one of the freakiest game designers and player. I trust his boss George Gomez to bring the best of him and break the old boring style of classic rockband pin. Sorry John and Steve but Remember monster bash? Or Alice cooper? Great game play amazing atmosphere and fingers crossed we will be surprised !!

Foo Fighter - noun - an unidentified flying object of a kind reported by US pilots during world war 2... Hence the Alien reference.

Love the end music!

I haven't been this excited for a pin in a long time. Love Foo Fighters and the Alien theme looks bad ass. Wishing for R rated mode as well. Hope they include Everlong...

So - what did you think about the live stream Cary? For his first full blown pin he knocked this out of the park. The amount of modes, side quests, multiballs and crazy combo shots this game looks unbelievable.

I was hoping they would be announcing a new Mario game. With the buzz around the movie, I feel it's a missed opportunity not having one ready by now.

"There's only on thing......" I yelled out loud at my TV "PRICE" at this moment. Design? Really? Price dude

I agree

I didn’t hear ZY was doing the art. I wasn’t sure I liked the alien angle, but the more I think about it, it could help break the music pin mold. Mashing a classic like AFM with a rock music pin could turn out great. Foo Fighters are my favorite band…. Saw $7k-13k price range. Is that the new standard, or just the one distributors pre order numbers?

Pinball please return Molded pieces like in BSD and Whitewater!! Stern,…you first…

Great observation, hard to argue with the logic. Of course the super fan boys incapable of rational thought will be.

I'm still waiting for a moterhead pin

As usual great stream. Need more . Lol

Late to the show, didn't know Jack D was the designer. I think it's going to be really really good. So happy for JD that he has gotten this assignment.

Looking forward to this pin! FF rule!

dude i know you probably expected this but jp home pin is awsome. my uncle just bought one and its super fun.

Love me some more music pins!

I hope the the van is a toy and the multi ball is the 4 band members (balls) coming out of it.

Is it $11k good though?

I hope they give Taylor Hawkins a good tribute in the pin. Been there for live concert up in front row. Love those.guys, but gonna miss Taylor not being there any more.

100% what you said. I wish his first real game wasn't a theme I really liked or even wanted.

When you doin something on Pinball Brothers Alien gameplay?

20k by Christmas

I'm not a fan of the man but damn this game does look good. Bravo Jack D. This game is going to be a hit.

I would bet Jack knocked it out of the park. We shall see shortly tho.

That’s what a foo fighter is and how perfectly relevant now that we are shooting an international alien weather balloon down weekly these days and their music is killer awesome ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT LONG and oh yeah he played in Nirvana and his new book is FIRE!

They’re an OK band, but no way I’m buying anymore Sterns.

Dude, do your research. The alien theme is perfect b/c of what a "Foo Fighter" actually is.

I just want one badly

Looks good from what I see, Jack dun good

OK, Jacks politics make me wanna vomit, but the layout on the JP Homepin was top notch. I liked it better than the standard JP layout.

Foos are my favorite band. I’m disappointed. Looks like no band involvement (call outs, etc). Just an Alien theme with Foos tunes. Album artwork appears to be non existent as well. Could be a fun ga,e but doesn’t live up to the theme.

not a big fan of "band" and music pinball themes so i will be passing on this one. Hopefully it will be great tho. I was not that impressed with james bond tbh.

Band tables aren't usually that good.

Game needs to not be over the top in story and rules for example like godzilla which takes away from the avg player who just wants to flip and have some fun shooting huge title with massive potential for sales. track listing very good selection

This is a low hanging fruit, hot take....

Slash only got access to trademarks and assetts he didn’t make the game great. Because its a bore fest.

Sorry, but I personally are getting frustrated with the current trend of “music/band” themes….. where are the blockbusters like Jaws? That said, where (or if ever) will Stern ever make an ORIGINAL (theme) design again. Risky, yes, but THAT would be the innovation many are waiting for.
