Metallica was a great success for Stern and saw a move away from Photoshopped art. But, this wasn't a choice Stern wanted to make.. I think youll find that it was stipulated by the band in order for them to grant licence.. Dirty Donnie has been a long time friend of Hetfield and does a lot of art for them. The move away from PS art was gladly received by the pinball community but unfortunately, it didn't indicate a new direction by Stern.
Roll on to another speculation of what the next game could possibly be and KISS is mentioned once again.
To be brutally honest, Stern either hit the nail on the head or get it horribly wrong. If left to their own devices its normally wrong.
IF this pin were to happen, then id say KISS would want a lot of control over how it looks and how it plays.. and so they should. When you have a marketing engine like KISS have, you cant afford a major item like this to be done badly.
OK.. so we want to see games along the lines of Metallica and ACDC... we don't want to see another Rolling Stones... Elvis...Mustang etc.
Stern consistently have more misses than hits... Mustang sees a roll back to old Stern... it looks bloody awful and hasn't been a great success...
.. so you want KISS???.. Better hope Stern hits a rare goal then... personally, if I were a KISS fan, id be hoping they wouldn't be doing it!
