Slash deserves no credit for Sweet Child
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 17 December 2008
Former Guns N Roses guitarist Slash says he deserves no credit for the success of one of the band’s biggest hits, ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’, even though it’s his opening riff that people remember most from the sing.
He told Rolling Stone: “There was not a lot of forethought to ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’, that riff. It was just something I was messing around, and stumbled across this interesting pattern. I’ve got to give credit to Axl Rose and the other guys in the band for really turning it into a song”.
