Former Lakewood, New Jersey, Pinball Maker Makes New Pinball Machine With Slash And Mark Tremonti
If you’ve spent any time at all at the Shore Award winning Silverball Museum in Asbury Park you probably noticed that their pinball collection is totally sick. They have old school pinball machines from the likes of Stern but there’s a bunch of great pinball machines that are part of a new wave of pinball technology from Jersey Jack Pinball; originally out of Lakewood, New Jersey.
Jersey Jack (who moved to Elk Grove Village, Illinois in 2020) makes the amazing Guns-n-Roses pinball machine and the way-cool pinball based on the Wizard of Oz movie.
Well, Jersey Jack is up to it again. And this time they’ve brought in two great rock stars to help out with the soundtrack of the pinball machine and they’re doing it for a good cause. The new pinball is based on the “Godfather” movie series. Everyone knows the iconic theme to the Godfather movies; the instantly recognizable, “Speak Softly Love”. They updated the sound of the song for the Godfather Pinball machine by bringing in Slash and guitarist and vocalist Mark Tremonti (of Creed and Alterbridge) to perform the famous track.
What’s really cool is that this recording is part of Mark’s “Take A Chance For Charity” that encourages artists to step out of their normal performance lanes to record something unique and interesting and to raise money for National Down Syndrome Society while doing it… meaning us fans get a special treat while some good is done too. Very cool. Get info about buying the song here.

Slash is no stranger to the song, he performs it regularly as a solo on live GnR shows:
Slash has a solo version recorded as well:
Last but not least, Mark Tremonti stepped up to the vocal mic himself to announce his charitable concept when he recorded an album of Frank Sinatra songs. It was so legit that the Sinatra estate endorsed the recording that featured the actual Sinatra Orchestra.
