Yep, I had one of those (though I believe mine had a Wild West motif rather than a carnival, but I could be wrong)... I seem to remember playing with the gun by itself more often than with the "shooting gallery" part ... cuz eventually the plastic at the front of the shooting gallery's window got all scratched to sh*t from repeatedly dragging the magnetic "gun" across it to pick up and "shoot" the ball bearings...

 

...My parents were never crazy about my brother and I playing with guns now that I think about it, so I wonder who the heck got that toy for us? They never would've bought it for us themselves... must've been a birthday/Xmas gift from another relative...

Yes! Got one for my 4th birthday and remember it like it was yesterday. I played that thing for hours! I also remember my cousin had a wayyy cooler one. It was much deeper and on four legs almost like a miniature pinball game. It had this Gatling gun that shot round after round of bb's at different cowboys who would get knocked down or something. I have never been able to find that toy online but I bet it's worth some coin nowadays.

Alright, this thread rekindled my interest in tracking down that game. I did find one on ebay. Anyone ever see this as a kid??

I had one and I know I woke the block up with it. Later I took the gun apart from the game to see if I could shoot someone with it. Never worked again.......

I wanted to do the same thing with my cousin's but I couldn't get him talked into taking it apart. Probably a good thing! :lol:

 

And yeah, that sucker was loud as hell!!

I don't know which one of my parents was responsible for picking it out but I'm sure they caught hell from the other. Louder than a dynamite in a hubcap factory.

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
