Quoted from Goronic:

How about an unlicensed pin?

Thanks be to Gorgar for the little blessings in life.

#186 8 years ago

Pretty great song lineup:

Deuce 10
Detroit Rock City 7
Shout it out Loud 7
Hotter than Hell 8
Calling Dr Love 10
Love Gun 10
Lick It Up 0
I Love it Loud 3
Black Diamond 10
Rock N Roll all Nite 8

So just swap out Lick it Up and I Love it Loud for two of:

I Stole Your Love
Christine Sixteen
Shock Me
God of Thunder

and that will be one hell of a line up!

#194 8 years ago
Quoted from DCFAN:

I don't think anybody will be able to swap songs with the new Spike system.

Where there's a will, there's a kill.

#202 8 years ago

Me...Gorgar...Saying...LCD....Since....2009

#226 8 years ago
Quoted from o-din:

For those that want Peter and Ace to be part of this pinball experience, there are already mods available.

Ironically, the video shows those pop caps in the line art @ .22 seconds.

#298 8 years ago
Quoted from Methos:

Lick it Up 0?
I Love it Loud a 3?

C'mon Vid!

Sorry man.

Gene with the hot pink shirt on is too much for me:

Quoted from Methos:

I can't believe they left off I was Made for Loving You - that is staple to their show up to today and is a huge hit worldwide.

Probably one of the worst songs ever written by any band.

I put it up there with Let's Get Physical.

Quoted from Methos:

Would have been nice if Strutter, Got to Choose, or something past 1983.

Yeah Strutter would have been great.

Domino would have been a great post 1983 song.

#300 8 years ago
Quoted from Methos:

No ballads either.

No room for ballads in pinball.

#302 8 years ago
Quoted from Kronnix:

What's with the giant Gene Simmons head!? It takes up a HUGE chunk of the PF, and just looks ridiculous!

Smaug was already taken.

#303 8 years ago
Quoted from Kronnix:

Only KISS song I like is 'God Gave Rock N Roll' and I don't see it in the song line up

That song is a cover from the band Argent.

There would be much more adventure and costs in licensing that song.

#304 8 years ago
Quoted from kvan99:

What no "Back in the N.Y. Groove"?

That song is a cover from the band Hello.

There would be much more adventure and costs in licensing that song.

(super trivia question, what other song did did the writer of Back in the NY Groove write for KISS?)

#305 8 years ago

Original Back in NY Groove

#306 8 years ago

Original God gave rock n roll to you

#312 8 years ago

Original Then He Kissed Me

#320 8 years ago
Quoted from cleland:

I just turned 42 in Feb and I can't tell you one Kiss song ever....somehow I've managed to avoid them my whole life. I'm happy to sit this one out and happy for those that have some kind of bond to a band of men in drag and finally get their "holy grail" pin. I'll wait for the next title

Who cares?

Go hate somewhere else.

Have you ever turned on a radio?

He only listens to Rush.

Rush Limbaugh

#326 8 years ago
Quoted from cleland:

Really?!? I just made a statement of who I am and what I know(or don't know) of KISS.
You have given me and many others amazing information on restoring games and playfields, and I admire for your help for me to restore games. I did not mean this to be that, I just don't know KISS.

I just don't believe you.

I have traveled the world and people from 8 to 80 all know KISS, English speaking or not.

#331 8 years ago
Quoted from cleland:

But....to be a human being is a whole different thing

I've always prided myself in being subhuman.

Quoted from BC_Gambit:

What the heck goes on in LA that Kiss costumes would be considered drag?

Quoted from ChrisS:

I'm more disturbed by the mane growing on his chest.........

You should see "The Rock's" chest when he does not shave it...

#412 8 years ago
Quoted from Gov:

Ok, I know this is being picky, but if they are going with red armor on the LE why didn't they try and recreate the white and red of the original game?

They probably did not want a C&D letter from PPS

#415 8 years ago
Quoted from kvan99:

Wow...the pf colors are fantastic.

It never hurts to have a real artist do your artwork.....

#438 8 years ago
Quoted from gatordad:

Hope the code situation doesn't suck.

I'll let you know in 2017

#445 8 years ago
Quoted from Monte:

Why are the Kiss DMD dots not in the "lightning bolts"? Also, will they have to have 2 versions as the Bally Kiss? "SS" vs "lightning bolt"?

The Germans are not going to allow the Nazi SS lightning bolts.

#449 8 years ago
Quoted from Billy16:

Not much could be done to realistically mod the amp

You could tie the channels together and drown in all the gain.

#453 8 years ago

I would be great if when you coin-up, it would play the meek monophonic I-Want-to-rock-n-roll-all-nite beeps like the old Bally.

#460 8 years ago
Quoted from Minneapolispin:

Does the $2000 price difference between the Pro and the LE seem worth it?

Nope, not at all.

Just like buying a car, they hope your emotions will justify the price difference.

#463 8 years ago
Quoted from Billy16:

Hmmm...I wonder what impact (if any) the new Stern Kiss will have on the old Bally Kiss?

The price will go up because more people will want both.

Just like they want all the Star Treks.

#471 8 years ago
Quoted from inhomearcades:

Did any of the members of KISS actually ever looked ripped like they do on the playfield?

100,000 years ago, maybe.

#473 8 years ago
Quoted from shimoda:

Yeah, I know, but Veruca Salt rocks harder than KISS, and I would be just fine with the lead singer of that band being all over the playfield.

I'd be down with that.

Quoted from Womper:

Aurich (totally looks like a normal dude btw)

You expected him to go around with his face painted?

#507 8 years ago
Quoted from beatmaster:

can they use bally's license bumper caps? cause they sure look like bally.

Kiss might own those images.

Or Stern might just buy them from PBR and install them.

#545 8 years ago
Quoted from thedarkknight77:

As an artist, I was drawing figures like that when I was 10.

Draw up an alternative translight and make a few bucks!

TIP: Don't draw the fatface new Ace, make sure you draw the original line up for maximum sales.

#550 8 years ago
Quoted from dtowndobe:

I'm sure I will get a thumbs down or two for this, but I think the machine looks horrible. But then I think WWE and WNBJM also look horrible.

Hoping I like their next title more...

Noted.

Good luck Runner in finding a pin that meets your high artistic standards.

#560 8 years ago

Put your balls into Paul's hidden hole.

Seems like a normal backstage occurrence.

#568 8 years ago
Quoted from CNKay:

With 2x 3x bonus do you think they will go old school scoring?

How badass would it be if you have to TILT so you don't roll the game over at 999,996 ????

#612 8 years ago

Comic art never had awkward poses back in the 70s.

KISS.jpgKISS.jpg
#634 8 years ago
Quoted from ChrisS:

I know this is my OCD but is anyone else annoyed that the pop bumper caps aren't vertically in line with the playfield? They all seem to be off to some degree or another.

The video shows them as old, yellowed 70s caps, so I don't think Stern was too worried.

Once the pop bodies are installed on a CNCed playfield, they will all align.

#662 8 years ago
Quoted from AlexSMendes:

Though I'm a HUGE KISS fan, I HATE any song from DYNASTY and UNMASKED. PERIOD.

Awww....what about Charisma??

#691 8 years ago

Sometimes the artist just likes to have some fun.

Like here, where a chick is crapping out a string of sausage links.

#705 8 years ago
Quoted from wayout440:

Walking Dead.......It's once again that a new Stern is aimed at an extremely narrow niche market: folks who like these themes and pinball and have the money to burn on a new one = very, very small market.

The Walking Dead is the #1 series on television in the 18-50 year old bracket - that is a very, very large market.

(2 million more viewers that the #2 series "The Voice")

Mustang is the 3rd best selling sports car with 9.6 million sold. That is a very, very large market.

Quoted from wayout440:

...but unfortunately the KISS theme is such a turn off for me

There are 6,972 other pinball titles available (I subtracted the Bally KISS).

Good luck Runner in your quest to find a theme that does not turn you off.

Good-Luck-Runner.jpgGood-Luck-Runner.jpg
#707 8 years ago

That's what makes KISS so great, is that they DO get people so upset.

-

If Stern did a Beatles pin, I would not go on EVERY thread and cry about how the Beatles suck, that John Lennon had sex with Brian Epstein, that Ringo was a sell out for Sun Country Wine Coolers commercials, that the Beatles did the first pop song promoting violence against women, that Lennon was a commie.......

Quoted from emkay:

Oh and for all the people who keep bringing up LedZep/Floyd/Beatles/etc, remember that those bands do not need money and have never run loose with licensing stuff. Kiss has always been a bunch of whores.

How about Floyd's "Endless River Watch" for $200, LOL:

http://shop.pinkfloyd.com/limited-edition/the-endless-river-watch-leather-strap.html

Or this iPad case for only $70, LOL:

http://shop.pinkfloyd.com/collectables/tech-accessories/tdsotm-40th-anniversary-ipad-3-case.html

-

Or the Beatles lunch box, LOL :

http://www.rock.com/p/the-beatles-anthology-lunchbox

Or Beatles bottle opener:

http://www.rock.com/p/the-beatles-yellow-submarine-bottle-opener

Or Beatles infant clothing:

They are all whores, wake up.

Quoted from emkay:

The real shame of Pink Floyd was their end game. That Endless River album sounds like it should only be played in dentists' offices. Only thing missing was a guest appearance of John Tesh or Yanni.

They were just milking a bunch of leftovers, that were leftover from an album already made up of leftovers.

I did listen to the whole thing, once.

#792 8 years ago
Quoted from emkay:

I think that's why I smile when I see Rush interviewed. For all they've been through, you can tell they are genuine friends.

That's Canada for ya.

Just like the strip bars, they are much more friendly.

#839 8 years ago
Quoted from PACMAN:

If i had to compare it to a car it would be a PT CRUISER.

1.4 million people liked the PT Cruiser enough to buy it.

Let's hope some of them are KISS fans....

#842 8 years ago

All that chaos displayed on that playfield and you guys are fixated on men's hands?

I never even pretend to understand all the fetishes in the world......

#848 8 years ago

I want four different "Solo Pins", each featuring a different member of the band.

The backboxes should lock together creating a panorama backglass.

Put Catman in the center, so you are forced to buy the least popular game to complete the art.

Have the games sync together for fun 4 player modes.

Quoted from Rarehero:

What do you think is wrong with it?

It seems like he is pointing at my dick.

#903 8 years ago
Quoted from Pindiddy:

I heard a rumor that the music being used is from the re-recordings from 2009 to get around paying the original members from the 70's. I hope it isn't true. not hearing the originals would be a huge letdown.

No one knows yet what versions are being used.

The Re-recordings have A LOT more punch, and it would be pretty hard to tell the difference on pinball machine speakers. Listen to the whole album here:

The above link does not play the entire album because pinside chops off the end of the link.

Cut and paste:

Quoted from Pindiddy:

What's the possibility of replacing the songs if the new re-recordings are used? Code can be updated. Could owners replace songs?

That is being worked on right now.

#953 8 years ago
Quoted from TomGWI:

Are the re-recordings all that different from the originals?

They have a lot more punch and way less mush:

Cut and paste:

#959 8 years ago
Quoted from Captain_Kirk:

A quick look at the comments under that video show that it's hated!
LOL!

I hope so.

#1024 8 years ago
Quoted from Aurich:

I'm not a fan of censorship, but it's just a logo

It is such a powerful symbol for the people of Europe, I can see the problem.

Think if here in the States there was a certain symbol for 9/11......and then think if a rock band in demonic clown makeup from Saudi Arabia made it their logo.

CILL.jpgCILL.jpg

#1026 8 years ago
Quoted from Duff:

its ironic their pushing the 70s vibe and a set list from the 70s then use rerecordings from 30 years later.

Those may be the only recordings available from KISS.

If you want a Def Leppard song in your movie or TV commercial, the ONLY ones available are the re-recordings.

#1048 8 years ago

It's going to be a mega-popular title.

They know they can charge more for it.

#1144 8 years ago

You guys are hilarious.

It's a cartoon.

It can be whoever you want it to be.

#1158 8 years ago
Quoted from TOK:

How about Pussyface?

Lovely.
