I am wondering if the KISS 2013 model will really ever happen, although I am definately hoping it does.
The issue here is who and what do u put on the pinball machine ? Will the new band/cast members agree to not being on there ? Will the old members want too much money ? Will they want members in makeup or without etc ? It all starts getting too difficult with too many variables really. Who holds the licence ? I cant see Gene having anythiong to do with this at all. Why would he, he has nothing really new or relevant in the pinball industry anymore except some parts he sells at trade shows etc, and the new licence would be negotiated and bought by Stern from Paul Stanley/Gene Simmons directly anyway one would imagine.
Can a new KISS machine come off, can it really ever get past all the red tape, and if it does, will it be a good player, a good looker, with the right artwork and members on the pinny ? thats a lot of ducks to get sitting in a neat row ! I am not a betting man, but I dont think its going to happen, not like the ease of AC/DC came to fruition. Hope i am wrong and everything aligns. I would love one. A BNIB KISS pinny would be way cool.
Is it just too much of a stretch but ? and if its not, why now in 2013, why hasnt it happened again since 1978 ?
