"
I made that metallic noise at the beginning of the song with a knife against a bicycle wheel. I supposed you could do it with a spoon. But it wouldn't sound as good as it does with the knife. Kids, don't try this in your own homes; these men are trained professionals."
- Keith Richards, 1989

You wouldn't think Keith Richards would get anywhere near a bike, but there you go. Presumably he'd tuned the spokes to an open chord first.

Wingpig - very good keith richards joke that. Keith's life was indeed changed by open tuning and only having to bother with five strings. In his quite good auto biog (until the skag years) he mentions cycling as a kid.
My sister in law is a town clerk and she knows a nice quiet man who is town clerk in another town. His daughter or son is married to a child of Keith Richards and the two grandads hang out. Keith I think may have mellowed.
