Slash wanted Richard to play in his band

I wonder when that was.

This example is so ordinary in comments sections where someone will bother to disrespect a musician's talent because "Slash says so" rather than based on the musician's musicianship. At least the guy used his name rather than some stupid online handle, such as "puddledumpling".

Richard's career to date is so versatile that, like or not the music he plays on, he's one to watch for how to make a living as a free-agent career musician in this changing international scene.
