i remember reading the story where slash offered to play on thru&thru and keith said something like "i like you kid, but dont push your luck, no one comes near my track". i would love to read that episode but cant find it anywhere. thanks for helping!

I've never heard that, but thank the gods he didn't.

I've read it, but I don't recall where.

Funnily, Keith let Pierre play on it

I have heard this story before.

I wish he had let him. I love the track as it is, but can't help thinking that Slash would have taken it to another level!

I thought the story was he threatened him with the blade.

right now i really believe it

damned, i know i've read it printed somewhere. rolling stone or uncut....
still hope someone has it.

Yeah that's our Keef shooting the shit Spinal Tap style, man!
Rockandroll,
Mops

Point is that a guitarist doesn't ask Keith to play on his song. Keith asks You to play on his song.

It’s in that book called It’s Only Rock’n Roll I think. Almost at the back. Keith says “Look I like you kid, but don’t push your luck. You ain’t coming anywhere near my @#$%& track”.

Keith.

No its a true Story told by Ronnie, Keith was working on the track and Ronnie was trying to get Keith to let Slash play on it and Keith was having none of it.
Ronnie said it would have been great.

I actually think Slash could have done well on that track.

i found it. its in the book (as suggested) „its only rocknroll“ the story behind every song on page 238/239. the story is told by don was.
its funny that some years ago i loved those keith stories. but if you think about it its just so childish and a pretty ridiculoud behaviour, isnt it?

Indeed, but he learned that behaviour from Chuck Berry

Ok but that changes it insofar as it's obviously not up to Ronnie to decide but it also wasn't Slash "pushing his luck" on his own there.

It is a copycat world...

Strange story.

I don't see Slash begging to play.

So I have serious doubt that this happened exactly as reported.

These posts should stop trying to make Keith a tough guy. Great writer , guitarist, but tough guy with a quick blade is silly. Although I would have enjoyed a fight between mutual combatants with Elton

Indeed, I’m sure Elton would show him his “blade “.
