Metallica Rips The Volume Knob Off Pinball

Pinball once made wizards out of gamers. I didn't spend fifteen or twenty minutes popping coins into the slot at Sunset Bowl in Billings, Montana. If the parental figures wanted me they called the alley. I was born to flip. Inside a Classic Rock Nation overtaken by video...Pinball is the way Metallica thinks. Lead vocalist James Hetfield is rocked about the new game plan. Every song shattering the sound a Pinball machine makes will be new Metallica and gamer exclusive. Wait! This isn't a new way to Rock. KISS introduced their box on stilts in the 70's. I've seen TV show, movie themes and everything close to naked firmly promoting on the outside of the music maker turned mind blasting hip thumper. Fifteen months ago the company began to reveal a series of videos showing the making of the AC/DC pinball machine. In this 60-second video fans see a list of heavy hitting tracks included in the game before getting blink-and-you’ll-miss-them shots of some of the video and technology used to create the game. Some of the tracks included are ‘Fuel,’ ‘Master of Puppets,’ ‘The Unforgiven’ and ‘Enter Sandman.’ There are 12 tracks in all, many of which the band is sure to play as they headline the Orion Music + More Festival in Detroit this summer. The band is also working on new music, and has a 3D film scheduled for 2013. A book called ‘Metallica: The Complete Illustrated History’ will be released in November.
