Great to catch up with you Gonzo! Sarah tells me I forgot to mention our machines available for hire!!
We can do that mate, perhaps a walkthrough guide on AFM and we can mention it then?
I took a piano lesson with Elton John...
He was so nice, he even offered to push in my stool.
🤣
Matt's a great bloke, although only met him a couple of times. Loved the visit I made to Flip Out in Croydon a few years back. Very welcoming, great atmosphere.
I sincerely hope the new Pinball Republic venture works out brilliantly for you, Matt! I'm sure it will 🤘
Totally agree Matt is amazing. Neil has the money but an evil bloke!
Good luck with it all Matt. If the new place is near a station I’ll come down there.
I concur. Station and Hotel nearby.....Keep the faith!
I hope Santa brought some Chill Pills for Neil on Christmas Day!
Elton impacted me beyond my wildest expectations. My eyes were blue.When he fully impacted me they turned dark brown.💩
I think you may need some ointment for that my friend . . . or at least new contact lenses.
😂
AC/DC has probably got the biggest following of any band... in the world. I'm serious. Not surprised it does well. Were you genuinely surprised or joking? I also enjoyed the game, theme aside.
Gotta be one of the best music themed pins. I’m interested to hear a review on it by you Gonzo 👍
Hi James, I'm honestly surprised by that mate. I would have thought The Rolling Stones, Taylor Swift, Adele or a few others but I'd never have imagined ACDC would have the biggest global following. As for the game mate . . . too tough for me and I didn't find the rules easy to grasp. The fact that the modes are song related and I didn't like the songs probably didn't help.
@@GonzosPinballFlipperama I could be talking out of my arse - it has been known! I recall reading that AC/DC had outsold the Beatles with over 200 million units. They also have (or used to have!) huge world stadium tours. Back in Black is one of the biggest selling albums ever iirc. Looking at Spotify though, The Beatles, Stones and ACDC have around 28-31M monthly listens. Adele is ~50M and Taylor Swift way higher over 100M. An outrage!
Pedretti = PB
Ah, thank you.
Do you think Elton John and Legend of Vahalla will be similar rank in your top 50 since layout is similar, or does theme and light show will make a difference? You seem to like both of them
Hi Steve, good question. I would think that EJ would rank slightly higher due to the fun aspect really. Both do shoot great.
The way Neil is carrying on with the club it will fold! Hopefully I'm wrong ! Ladbroke's would give me the odds!
Looks cool man. Will have to come out and check out your friends location once he gets going
But far for you mate 🤣 But that would be special 👍🏻
@@stevescoolcollectibles5182 dude, I’m a 6hr flight away. Basically up the road haha
Love it Don 😀
Not sure when you filmed but Knapp made an update to the CGC situation and CGC didn't lose anything yet. CGC supposedly has another game in the works. Pedretti is making what sounds like identical remakes and they're going to be boutique. So far Pedretti has made 2.0 kits for some WPC era games but they haven't said what they're doing with these "remakes". It sounds like both companies could be working on different things. They say an update will be announced early next year.
Thanks for the clarification Natalie, we filmed on the 23rd
I am a broken record in your comments about Alien - The flippers are fine! very strong thats for sure but you do need to tweak the power settings of each flipper.
You're not a broken record, I hear what you're saying but I disagree with you.
I altered the power but the flippers still felt odd. Same with Queen.
Don't worry about it dude, it's okay for people to like different things.
Do you seriously not like AC/DC ? WHY ? . Have you done a review on it ? . Please do one I’m interested to hear your comments. I’ve owned one for 2 years and would never sell it . I believe it should be in the top 50 . Cheers Ian
No problem dude, I'll make sure I get it done. From memory it was too tough for me to play and when I missed the shots I tended to lose the ball. The rules weren't really intuitive because I don't know or like the music. Maybe I'd change my mind if I had it again but it was here for three months and just didn't play it after the first couple of weeks.
The shots were very low on the playfield as I remember and I don't like Sword of Rage or Game of thrones for the same reason.
Thanks mate can’t wait to see it. Make sure it’s a premium model 😀@@GonzosPinballFlipperama

@@GonzosPinballFlipperama my 2 most overrated pins are Adam’s family and fish tales both are absolute rubbish. Like you I have must haves in a pinball for it to get my tick 1. It must have a plunger Not just a button. 2 it must release the ball to the top of the play field not millimetres like guns and roses very boring and weak . 3. Must have drop targets not just still ones . 4 . Must have at least 4 multiballs. 5. Must have a bash button on the lockdown bar. 6. Good to have insider connect a great new concept . 7 must have at least 3 to 4 mechanisms and realistic toys around the play field . I am partial to a lower play field though not a deal breaker. Look forward to your next video keep up the great chat. Cheers Ian from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Flippers on The Hobbit are fine!
Not for me Kenny . . . Massive difference in feel now.
5 balls!!! Well fk me. Respect level just went up a lot mate lol. I'm a pretty good 3 ball juggler. Can do quite a few tricks and shit. And can juggle 3 clubs alright. And I can do 4 balls pretty well. But 5 balls always broke my fkn brain a bit lol. I've managed to get through a few circuits of 5 a few times but could never quite get it consistently right. Maybe if I practised it a bit more but think I just got sick of picking up 5 balls all the bloody time lol. So yeah, I'm not too bad on the multiballs anyway. 🤡😂
Mate, if you can juggle 4 balls and you can do clubs then you're doing pretty well.
You would need to make some corrections: Planetary Pinball has made a point to emphasize that this new deal will not affect its existing relationship with Chicago Gaming Company (CGC) or Haggis Pinball. I've heard that CGC has at lease one more Remake up its sleeve in addition to additional non-remake titles like Pulp Fiction and others coming in the future. Also please play more AC/DC and I am sure you will change your mind.
Thanks so much for the information regarding CGC.
As for ACDC. . . I had it for a couple of months in my house so gave it a good try. It was too hard and I didn't like the music.
