Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash confirms that a new pinball machine, which has been heavily rumored is in fact true. During an interview with San Francisco weekly the guitarist the article stated the following:

Overall, chatting with Slash is a surprisingly low-key affair.

For a man who once famously hid a mountain lion cub in his room at the Four Seasons, he’s remarkably reflective and thoughtful in conversation. Asked if he’s seen Leaving Neverland — a recent HBO documentary that focuses on two men who allege that Michael Jackson abused them as children — the pop singer’s one-time collaborator concedes that he has not but sounds genuine when he adds that he plans to soon.

His tone gets excited when talking about a forthcoming GNR pinball machine (“nothing has ever come out like it”) but sits at even keel when discussing the circumstances that led him to get sober in 2006.

“I had so many near-misses and that just didn’t seem to faze me,” he says. “It came to a head for me after a pretty tumultuous 2005 with Velvet Revolver. I was just falling down that black abyss again and I was like, ‘I can’t get high anymore. This just doesn’t work.’ So I put myself in a facility for a month and got my head together. I haven’t done it since. I haven’t had the urge to do it since.”

Luckily for fans, it’s an urge to make music that’s survived alongside the man himself.

“As you know,” he adds, “I didn’t go anywhere — and it doesn’t look like I’m going to.”
