"We got asked to play football at Robbie Williams's house, but we couldn't do it because we had stuff to do," drummer Ben Johnston told NME.
Neil added: "I got asked to play a solo on his record too, but I turned it down. I wish all the best for Robbie, but I don't think he needs my help.
"Bizarrely, I think Slash is going to play the solo now, which makes the whole thing cooler."
Biffy Clyro were originally planning to release their new double album Opposites later this year, but have now pushed it back to 2013.
Meanwhile, Robbie Williams will release his new record Take the Crown in the UK on November 5.
