This is what a pinball machine tutorial should be -- very thorough and you assume the player is new to the game and has basically no understanding of the rules. Too many PAPA "tutorials" are really just watching Bowen blow up a machine with some casual commentary that can be really confusing if you don't already have a basic knowledge of what the game's rule are. Well done, sir... er, McSir

Completely agree with this 100%. Bowen's tutorials are great for strategy, but not deep enough to properly be called a "tutorial".

His Walking Dead tutorial is the worst pinball tutorial I've ever seen. "Lets go for Blood Bath" How? "Let's get CDC started" How?! "Don't forget to use your X" HOW!? He explains literally nothing of how the game works. You'd have to already know all the rules to follow what he's saying. If I knew them, I wouldn't be watching a tutorial.

Hi mate, thanks for the great runthrough, especially explaining how to maximise collecting items, helps alot.

By far the best tutorial i've seen of any machine ever ... and i've seen a lot! Thank you!

Thanks Mike! I know there's some good tutorials out there, but i'm glad that my style / structure of how I do mine seems to work. Always felt it needed a different approach than the way that other tutorials are done.

@@McSirTuna And it was great! We need more! :) I know you did a few others, and I really like the depth of these, so keep them coming 🙏

This is a superb tutorial, thank you so much!

Thanks for the video Tuna! I've only slightly enjoyed Metallica because I was in the group of 'Sparky All Day.' I've got my goals set out and now I actually know how to get to Crank It Up instead of lucking my way into it. And with a 2x collect in my brain I hope to have a GC in my near future! This is what I love about pinball, being lukewarm on a game and watching something like this that will change the way I play a game enjoy the game. So thank you again!

That's awesome! That's what makes me want to do these types of tutorials. I love it when someone else gets to see the same reasons why I enjoy a game so much. Best of luck on getting that GC. That time when you cash out that killer Crank It Up will feel amazing. Even setting up a few insert item lights and getting to a MultiBall will feel a lot better now too!

I couldn't wait until Tuesday league to try these tips out and I went in today before work. I didn't take the GC yet since I'm still working on ball control and nudging, but on my first game I had three lanes with all the inserts lit going into MB! After that I only had a couple coffin shots left and nailed the scoop on my first shot for Crank it Up! Unfortunately I didn't play it well and drained. But my score went from an average of about 60-70 million to 125 million instantly! GC where I play is only 300 million so I can see myself hitting that very soon now that I know where my points are hiding! What other tutorial videos are you considering putting out there?

That's awesome Adam! If that's where you've started already, you're in for a long time of loving Metallica. I usually do tutorials each Saturday when I stream. I had been wanting to save more of them after they're done, but they usually just get lost in the streams. I have TSPP, Star Trek Premium, TWD, GOT LE, and Tron to play. That Metallica tutorial just went too well for me to not pull it out to upload.

New to pinball, although very much not new to arcades! There’s a pretty nice little cafe with some machines near me in London. I’m curious though- where can you find all the info about modes and scoring? There wasn’t much I could find on the Stern page for this game. Do they just give you the basics and let the community work out the rest?? Cab looks amazing BTW 🤘

Great question. Stern doesn't usually offer much detail about rules / modes / scoring. Personally I've found 3 sources I've used to get those details. First are other videos that people post when they may make a tutorial on a game. Next, in the past I've had some websites talk it through as well, Pinball News had a great writeup on Tron a long time ago. Finally, just playing a game a lot and exploring it over time. Playing on location can make that an expensive method though. But it can be the most fun way to learn at times. Good luck with your pinball exploring and hope this was helpful.

wow thanks Tuna I did not know about the inserts and crank it up bonuses that are possible

My pleasure Scott. Always exciting when people get to learn even one new thing they didn't know about this great game :)

Great Tutorial. Thx a lot :)

Awesome Tutorial! Thx alot! Btw, do you have the Total Lightshow mod?

@McSirTuna

Thanks for the kind words. This is a Premium, so no Total Lightshow mod (that's for Pro only). I do have a LOT of added mods though that enhance the lightshow further than the standard Premium / LE though too.

Another very fine tunatorial - thanks!

This is perfect! Im not too familiar with Metallica, and got my ass kicked on it in league last Saturday!!

Glad it's helpful. Now the hunt for a 2X Crank It Up cash out will rule your life.

Sparky’s fun.

I've always wondered: Who informs YOU of how to play the game, McSirTuna? The knowledge has to start somewhere. Is it another player or KZread Tutorial? Or is it just through trial-and-error with the game. I've always wondered that about every tutorial I see here on KZread.

Great question Ben! So honestly, it usually starts with me seeing someone else's tutorial on it, maybe from Bowen or Pinball News or some other source. I am a visual learner though, so a game really takes on a different feel when I have it in my house. I rarely learn much on location when I play. So with the basics usually learned from another source, I learn the rest through trial and error mainly. I generally develop my own takes / strategies that work for me. I will make note of things I felt I didn't learn from others and do my best to emphasize those points when I take about a game (how to actually collect walker bombs in TWD is a perfect example). I like thinking of the games as how they play for beginners, intermediate, and expert players. I want anyone to walk away from a tutorial with knowledge they can use and enjoy it more when they play the next time. That's what I look for in a great game.

Thanks Adam Savage

Thanks Ralph, unfortunately I'm only able to make tutorials for games I own, so sadly JP isn't currently in my collection.

I think it's whack that they didn't let you perform on the Grammys the other night. Word 👊, pinball forever
