Pinball FLYERS

[Reagan Dow]

Love G'N'R. Was lucky to see the Use your Illusion tour at Boston Garden growing up. During the show someone threw a bottle at Axl's head and he stormed off stage. Axl came back 10 minutes later, alone and pissed, then lectured the audience. at the end of the show, he violently threw his mic as hard as he could into the area the bottle had come from. Rock n Roll!

G'n'R pinball is one of the few real tables I would buy.

Sorry. Thought Deadpop wrote this. See my reply to his reply!! Very cool time in my life for sure. Always wished I could have seen them back in 87-88. At least I have most of the shows on DVD/cd

CHARLIE'S ANGELS
(Gottlieb/1978/7.950 units)
"Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the police academy.
And they were each assigned very hazardous duties but I took them all away from all that and now they work for me.
My name is Charlie."

Charlie's Angels was produced in both 7,600 electronic and 350 electromechanical versions.

Never knew this table existed. Cool!!

AF-TOR
(Wico/1984)
Af-Tor is the first and only commercial pinball machine manufactured by Wico.

Their previous release 'Big Top' was designed exclusively for home use.

Grew up in Boston. If memory serves it was on a Saint Patrick's day. Was also a big Queen fan, so was psyched Brian May opened for them. I remember Gary Scherone from Extreme came out and sang Tie your mother down.

If you haven't read it already, Watch it Bleed by Stephen Davis is a great biography of the band.

Btw - pinball wizard in Pelham NH has a G'N'R. I always try to stop back there when I return east.

I don't remember if it was st Patricks day when GNR played however if it was, that would be an excellent reason why I DONT REMEMBER!! D'oh!

The Charlie's Angels flyer made me laugh. It's the favorite pin of the guy I sit next to at work. How can that pin be your all time favorite? It's doesn't even have Farrah on it.

Seriously. Without Farrah...it might as well be a blank white board!!

I was never a fan of the G'n'R table - first, it was always the busiest table, and second, there was always another table I wanted to play, usually Demolition Man or Corvette.

I also saw the Use Your Illusion tour - twice - both times at the old Wembley Stadium in London.

First time in '91 prior to the release of the albums. They played November Rain and Estranged back-to-back before most of the crowd had even heard both songs in full. All we really knew was You Could Be Mine because of T2. That was 20 minutes of "WFT are they doing?". Most memorable was Seb Bach from Skid Row reading a letter from the local council telling them to keep the noise down, before launching into "Get The F*** Out".

Second time a year later was much better because we knew all the songs!!

Well, that might explain it, then.

Is he a former hairdresser ?

I think Appetite For Destruction is still in my top 10 greatest albums of all time.
Can't believe it's 25 years old.

NOTHING beats Appetite!!!!

BEAT THE CLOCK

Same design as Williams 'High Ace' (1974), except that the locations of "Extra Ball" and "Special" have been switched.
Nice flyer.

This table looks really cool. I've found a new appreciation for Victory lately, so I'm into the timed shot tables.

I don't really know what to think about Victory.
I find it a bit repetitive.
I surely have to play it more to know the table better.

I hated it till I just tried to solely win the race. Then it became much more fun. Also if I don't clear the first two checkpoints on the first ball I restart rather than get frustrated.

you should be able to skill shot check point one, have the ball cradle into left flipper, hit check point two, get on the fuel playfield and hit check point three.

I like the stop and start, get back to a checkpoint, aspect of it. It makes it feel like a real race, especially with the sounds.

You have convinced me.
I'll get back to it.

Wow. That table looks like fun. I wonder if it'd get any consideration in TPA?
