Full description

A tall rectangular playfield seen through glass, dominated by a rock-concert collage painted in mid-blue, magenta-pink, yellow-gold and orange. A broad yellow-gold arch band frames the upper third, carrying four orange-gold bowling-pin-shaped pop bumper caps and the separate block letters R-O-C-K in orange and blue, with ROCK repeated smaller in gold. Along the top edge are cut-out photographs of several shaggy-haired men's heads (two at top left, a cluster of four or five at top right) and, below them, painted full-body figures: a man in a white shirt and dark trousers striding at upper centre-right, and another man in a hat to his right. The centre holds a large pale-pink circle ringed with numbered round targets 20, 40, 60 and a green 10, plus two horizontal slot windows reading MATCHING 3 SCORES BONUS and MAKING 3 SCORES ADVANCE TO SLOT, and a vertical run of numbered circles 1 through 10. A fan of alternating magenta and cream rays spreads from the circle down to the lower playfield, flanked by two tall yellow-gold triangular bonus letters filled with star patterns. Curved captions arc around the fan: IT'S ONLY ROCK & ROLL... on the left, BUT I LIKE IT on the right. Along the rails sit the songs GET OFF MY CLOUD, GONNA MISS YOU, COLLECT and BONUS, with bonus-value readouts 3000 and 1000. Two white printed instruction/credit cards occupy the lower corners beside a large PINBALL wordmark. Glass reflections and coloured LED wash streak across the surface.

Distinctive

The single most memorable element is the huge screaming frontman at dead centre, lit from behind in gold and magenta with his mouth wide open, dominating the full height of the glass. Around him, four bandmates are frozen mid-performance with strap-on hollow-body electric guitars, arranged as a backing group left and right. The oversized red-and-orange ROLLING STONES block-letter title spanning the entire top edge, with a small cursive maker's name above it, is the other strong identifying feature. Four inset score windows with red seven-segment zeros and orange arrow-shaped bezels are built into the artwork itself.

Full description

A wide backglass translight with a deep purple and indigo airbrushed background scattered with pale starbursts. Across the top runs a huge band-name logo in chunky block capitals, red-to-orange gradient letters with a cream outline, reading ROLLING STONES, with a smaller cursive script maker's name tucked above the left half of the title. Below the title, left and right, are two horizontal score windows set into orange-and-black arrow-shaped bezels, each showing a red seven-segment 0. The centre of the glass is dominated by a large, brightly lit male singer figure rendered in pink, cream and gold airbrush highlights, mouth wide open in a scream, wearing an open sleeveless vest with a low neckline and bracelets on both wrists. Flanking him are band members in similar airbrushed style: a guitarist at left in a pale shirt playing a hollow-body electric guitar, a second figure with a guitar further left, and two more guitarists at the right in yellow and cream tops with strap-on electric guitars. Pink neon-style lettering on the right reads BALL IN PLAY above a small dark digital window, with a second window marked CREDIT below it. Bottom left, yellow lettering reads 1 TO 4 CAN PLAY. Bottom right, pink neon lettering reads GAME OVER, with a cursive artist signature just beneath.
