”I don’t intend to get into a whole video game versus pinball machine war here, but it’s hard to deny the romance of blinking lights of a pinball machine. The sound of the pinballs dropping into the catch still raises the heart rates of us ‘70s kids. We can still picture the other kids gathering around the glass as we took our turns. If you were good, you gave off a Steve McQueen-like mystique. The kids who were good at pinball got laid more (kind of like video gamers of today, right? Oh, wait…).
Slash was always one of those Steve McQueen-like pinball studs. He was good at every pinball game out there. Not that this should come as surprise: whether it’s guitars, snakes, dinosaurs, or pinball, Slash studies and excels at the things he is passionate about.”
