Why Stern's obsession with 'guitar-based music or various rock genres'?

Pinball benefits from ramped up energy moments and large stage rock/metal bands do that well. As a musical genre, it is still massively prevalent in movies to do just that.
But I would have loved a Prodigy pin but not sure the band were fans of pinball.

Two of my pals play with them now (guitarist and drummer).
I know the guitarist loves pinball as he always plays when he is at the studios (where my workshop is).
Prodigy do cross over to a rock band, but have a wide appeal.
Would be a great theme for a pinball in my opinion.
Sterns next music pin is “running up that hill” aka ST3. you gotta hit the bush to start a mode.
I bought 2 pins for the music AC/DC prem and GnR ce. However both are long gone as the layouts and code didn’t keep my attention.
I then bought IM prem NIB for the layout and code on the back of the Elwin hype train. I wasn’t familiar with the music which grew on me, but I found it hellish frustrating to shoot and had non stop issues with the newton ball. Long gone.
Then while at NLP I played Metallica pro and absolutely loved the layout and code.
I’d never once listened to the band unless it was in the background on the radio.
I now consider it the best music pin I’ve ever owned/played and now even enjoy their music! Win win and keeper.
Can’t wait to play Elton after the great feedback here.

Ah yeah, not getting into dividing up bands into sub-genres or anythingI think it’s a fairly-narrow subset of rock, though, and I’m trying to steer the discussion away from defining the words for that sub-category and towards pinball!
I really think its a correlation between the demographic who buy pinballs and the demographic who like guitar rock aligning perfectly, also the nostalgic aspect, looking back to a time when these bands were cool and edgy and pretending they still are too.
Well, it‘s definitely not about the relative energy level of the music…
I did do a quick Google of the history just now, and heavy metal/hard rock/guitar rock apparently emerged in the 60s/70s at the same time as hip-hop/rap.

such a vein of themes though. more good musicians and bands than movies. i’d rather have a blondie pin than a laurel n hardy.
Again, hip-hop was not filling stadiums like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath in the 60’s, 70’s or even 80’s.
Folks do not have to like the music but at least appreciate how big it is.

Thats brilliant, If only I knew how to work pinball browser
I love the ethos of hip hop, taking their parents records, chopping up the breakbeats and creating a new Genre, I'm not sure its popular with the US dudes who buy all the games though.
I think its a symptom of most games going into homes, I dare say a hip-hop theme would kill it on location.
I think they play it safe too much when it comes to themes, Sci-Fi/superhero/rock sums up about 80% of modern games.

It's on the list I believe.
Guess what. I have the Prodigy mix on one of your favourite pins ;-)
I think Tool is Sterns next music pin. Possible reskin though!
That's why I've always felt dance music/rave would be a good fit. Classic buildups and drops suit pinball perfectly. Why no ones gone there after TNA is beyond me.
Oh yeah a rave/dance/hardcore pin would be awesome, I can see the Friday night at Pinfest that year already…
I always knew you were a man of taste and class Kenny.
Spill the beans sir . . . . which game?
That is exactly it.
Where you hear this Kenny?
I'll be all over this
Rammstein and Tool my two favourite bands
Because nobody has ever picked up a cricket bat and played an air-synthesizer
Yes, but everyone has played air-sax, but I’m not seeing the explosion of Eurodance-pop-themed pins…
uuum , you have weird friendsYes, but everyone has played air-sax, but I’m not seeing the explosion of Eurodance-pop-themed pins…
I used to play alto sax. I was in a jazz banduuum , you have weird friends
[Admittedly, it was a school jazz band, and our gigs were mostly Remembrance Day events at retirement homes…]
But a few have reversed their baseball cap and used a hairbrush as a microphone
Maybe I've revealed too much.
If only they had used this in Apollo 13
Whack your speakers up, close your eyes and imagine the experience
BOOM !
Edit: You know what? Just use it in any machine from now on......................................
