Just now I can remember only two pinballs which has to do with music: Dolly Parton (but it isn't a rock band smile.gif) and Elvis (which isn't a rock band either).

There is a Metallica table, but it is a one-off custom conversion of Earthshaker:

Genesis pinball has nothing to do with the band, but still is a good table. biggrin.gif

Couldn't find Motley Crue table on IPDB. Is it a conversion of a table?

I could have been smart, but I never learned anything by being smart!

I also have never heard of a Motley Crue table. I am surprised that there is no table for AC/DC.

Yellow Submarine is not a JP original, it's actually a real table, I believe it's a custom job all the same though, not a mainstream release.

also, Williams' Beat Time table is not officially a Beatles table but it is pretty obviously based on them.

There is no real-life pinball based on Motley Crue, but there was a game for the Sega Genesis called "Crue Ball". Originally, it was called "Twisted Flipper".

been kicking around with making one based on Led Zeppelin, but atm am working on two others... so it'll have to wait a while i also LOVE the rock group Queen, but am not sure if it is a popular band or not (not enough to make a pin based on them)

ok ok ya twisted me arm! after I finish the two I am working on, I'll start a Queen table, with music dating from their first album to the flash soundtrack to their best stuff (i.e. jazz album, news of the world, night at the opera, etc)(I'll ignore all that new crap the freddy insisted on making; the pop sounding stuff)

There is an AC/DC table; I'm not sure if it is an original, because the version I have just has pictures of the rom images that flash on the screen instead of an actual rom file, but nonetheless, it does exist!

A little bit of topic, or should I say out of tune, they are also Spere´s band.gif band.gif tables:

Brain Salad Surgery, with music from Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Tales from Topographic Oceans, YES

Are these Rock Bands?

Anyway the tables, warmly recomended to those who don´t know Sphere´s world yet, are available here :

Note to the authors:Jimi Hendrix @ Frank Zappa should have their tables too.
