Man, i remember the KISS movie when i was a teenager, KISS wasnt a band, it was an entire INDUSTRY. HUGE doesnt cover 1 percent of it.lol
Anything Stern does will have to pass the marketing genius of Gene Simmons, and for this fact alone, it would mean to me that the artwork would be spot on because nothing shabby ever gets past Gene Simmons (and probably Paul Stanley) who is also a very astute business man.
I used to listen to DETROIT ROCK CITY, used to buy every poster, every album, every toy, they were just amazing. About 3 or 4 years after the makeup came off, and after the unmasked album, my interest wained. Eric Carr was good, didnt mind his look in makeup, and some of his stuff, but after those years, i lost some interest. A 2013 version of the 1978 pinball machine would be awesome.
I would also buy a few/3 new machines like u Nino. One to play, 1 or 2 x to keep BNIB for years down the track. Man, I hope they make this title.
Sitting next to a AC/DC pinny would be great.
p.s - someone mentioned a Bieber pinball. If it was down the pub/anywhere really, one would think it was be brutalised and totally tagged/spraypainted within the first few days. Maybe in the USA, BUT to my mind, teenage girls, aged 8 to 20 yrs dont play much pinball ?
The coolest way to get pinball happening today in Australia would to have brand new Stern models for sale at Bunnings nationwide. Fathers would buy them, kids would then get to see how cool it is etc, and maybe a new generation would join in etc. I am still amazed to this day that no-one from Australia has even tried to get BNIB Sterns into a chain like Bunnings or Harvey Norman etc etc etc. I reckon that marketing would work, and work well. Pinball machines have to get advertised in the mainstream to become mainstream again.
Why hasnt it happened ?
