Also, [[WordOfGod Slash confirms]] that the game has eight more original Guns N' Roses recordings which were taken off the masters.

The game was originally conceived by Slash, who approached Data East with his initial table design ideas. There, he was paired with music fan Creator/JohnBorg, programmer Lyman Sheats, and artist Markus Rothkranz, and the result is regarded as one of Data East's best tables ever. Pinball players enjoy its moderately complex ruleset, good variety of modes, and satisfying shots, while [=GnR=] fans get another way to cut loose with their favorite band.

The objective of the game is to gather up the members of the [[Music/GunsNRoses world-famous band]], get them rockin', and whip the crowd into a nonstop frenzy. Ride a motorcycle with Gilby Clarke, start multiball with Axl Rose, and bring in Matt Sorum to Score. Rock out with Dizzy Reed, grab a Jackpot with Duff [=McKagan=], get all the band members on stage for Multiball, then cut into a wicked Slash Solo. When you've completed all of the Guitar Modes, start a Riot and play the table to build up the Jackpot. All of this is, of course, accompanied by a large bevy of [=GnR=] songs, including the exclusive "Ain't Going Down" (an outtake from the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_Your_Illusion ''Use Your Illusion'']] compilation album).
