Is Kiss even still a band?

We all get to go thru puberty again.

Somewhere around 1993.

At least with GnR, they did it 20 years beforehand while the band was still somewhat relevant.

Or when they did GnR. When licensing a theme back in the 90s, manufacturers tried to keep it current for the most part. Except on some of the monster themes.

I would prefer a music pin based on bands that have released good music within the last five years. Even a compilation of bands would be better than something that was popular with little kids while I was listening to real metal back in the 70s.

Muse is definitely more current. And there are a whole slew of other alternative bands that's music would fit right into the gameplay experience. Not sure how many other pinballers are into alt rock, but I am. That is why I will sit this one out. I just can't see buying a Kiss machine when that was so yesteryear.

Yes, but they do have pocket change. And if they walked into an arcade or anywhere a machine is on route and saw something they could relate to, they just might just become addicted. Just like we did. Keep pushing old fart themes at them, and it's game over.

I keep going back to GnR. Was it really all that risky to make a machine like that with a band that had only been popular for a few years? I thought it was the coolest thing ever when I first saw one on route. That is one of the reasons I own one now. It was a machine of it's time

When I want to reminisce any of these other old bands I just flip the dial on my Sirius radio or put in a CD, but I'm not going backwards by spending $7000 on a new novelty pin from the past. I just can't do it. I got to see all these bands in their prime, and that memory is good enough for me.

There are pizza joints, hookah bars and lots of tattoo parlors. That seems to be where the young hipsters hang out these days. And if these places are not suitable for a game on route to get younger people involved, then modern pinball manufacturers should probably stay the course and cater to middle aged men longing for their youth. Let's do the Andrews Sisters next.

Kiss, Tool, or Andrews Sisters. Hey OP, can we add a poll?

And the top fruit is just falling from the tree.

Now there's a guy that didn't make the cut.

If Iron Maiden comes first, pinheads can stop justifying to themselves a reason to want to spend over $6000 just to line the remaining members of Kiss pockets with more cash.

Anaheim Stadium would never be the same after Kiss and Aerosmith tore that place up in 1976. Not so underground to 60,000 plus people.

Throw in a little Metric and maybe some Arctic Monkeys and a few others, and an Alt Rock compilation pin would get my money.

I think we're getting somewhere now. Bring it into the modern day and we can call it Coachella.

OK. Judas Priest then. How bout some Ram it Down.
