I met Snake at the grocery store in 2005. I shouted, "Snake! Dude!" He shouted back, "Dude! You!" and gave me a high five. I thanked him for being an influence on my playing and he seemed genuinely proud to hear that.
@@sampraz1990 It was a Ralphs - which is a pretty middle-of-the-road grocery store in LA, probably the most common. I don't recall what he was buying, but he had a hand-held basket rather than a big cart.
No doubt about it. I met him 3 times. 1 time at cbgb's playing in ozone monday. Hung out and took pictures backstage. You'd never think he was in a huge band a 1 pt. Very humbled man.
Which is a big reason he wants nothing to do with a certain former singer of his these days. Met them at a record store signing back in summer '89 when they were opening for Bon Jovi. Snake, Rachel and Scotti were the coolest and took a minute to talk with everyone, but even back then, that former singer was a complete ass.
Bought my dream car in the early 90's. I NEVER had a car that was just mine. ..Hot summer nights , hot car, top down, pedal to the metal, restless woman and "Skid Row".....Thanks...SUCH GREAT MEMORIES !...🎶🎸🎶...........🎶🎸🎶. "SKID ROW ".🎶🎸🎶...👍
Hi Sydney. Port Mac, here. I love what he said about groove , how the snare sits on the back of the beat , and voila, that's their groove ! I never realised this but that is precisely why I loved them (and still do). Think of it : without that groove, they'd be Iron Maiden! It's what kept them in the 'Hard Rock' genre and not 'Metal'. It's the groove that puts this swagger, this rolling attitude...a common thread in all the Rock bands I like : G n R...the Cult...ACDC....even Motley Crue & Poison! ( I'm not admitting to being a fan of the last pair...but let's just say I've learnt a solo or six from our Glam friends , CC Deville & Mick Mars 😉).
I saw Skid Row supporting Guns N Roses back in 1991. I've been a massive fan since. Snakes persona is nothing like I imagined him to be. Considering he made some of the best riffs of the 80s and 90s he is so humble and down to earth. Wish him every success.
These guys played a benefit show for one of their hugest fans who had diabetes and happened to be the drummer in my band and best friend.well he had died in a dumbass car wreck in nags head North Carolina .both our families were vacationing at the time and I went home one day earlier only to wake up to a call hearing he had died.ruff times.but somehow he got in cool with sebastion and the guys and hung out with them well somehow they found out and played a show in his honor and had his family and friends meet the band and come backstage.just nothing but love for snake and sebastian and the whole band just A-1 fucking class acts.thank you for what you did for my best friend mike naprstek.you guys will always be number one with me.thank you skid row I know mike was flipping out watching that show from above.much love guys.much love!!!!!👍👍🤘🤘🤘
I always thought or read in guitar magazine that snake wrote the lead to I remember you with the nasty string popping in it.am I wrong.i know the video shows scotti playing it but the mag said dave wrote the lead???confused
After a long break I'm trying to perfect songs I couldn't quite nail back in the day. They're all songs I love that that impacted me. There's a few skid row tunes on that list. Thank you and Scotti for being an influence.
@@tjbrenna that's exactly what I find funniest in the comment section. People critiquing not realizing how hard it actually is to write, perform and sell to millions around the world. Ignorance...
Happy to see Eileen being played, S.u-b.h-u..m'a-.n R.-,a-ce´- is so underrated and overlooked by the fans (I wrote S.u-b.h-u..m'a-.n R.-,a-ce´ like this because youtube was deleting my comment, Can you believe that ? )
Snake Sabo, thank you for the song "Eileen"!!! This is just enormous. The first Skid Row song I have ever heard and listened to is "My enemy", but after hearing "Eileen"... Thank you for creating it!
I'm just starting out learning guitar and have been searching for instructions to "I Remember You". There are many videos that are ok but didn't sound quite right. Snake is an absolute doll for taking the time to show the actual way!
SKID ROW, SLAVE TO THE GRIND AND B-SIDESOURSELF ARE ALL 3 OF THE GREATEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIMES!! I MEAN HELL.... SKID ROW HAD INCREDIBLY "GIFTED"AND TALENTED MUSICIANS AND SING WRITERS, 2 OF THE BEST GUITARISTS OF ALL TIMES (AGAIN, DAVE AND SCOTTIE WAS THE REASON I WANTED TO START TO PLAY GUITAR) AND TOP THAT OFF WITH SABASTIAN B'S JUST AMAZINGLY POWERFUL YET BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND... BOOM 💥💥 YOU HAVE ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS OF ALL TIMES!! I STILL LOVE TO THIS DAY HOW YOU REALLY CAN'T TELL WHERE SEBASTANS VOCALS END IN THE TONES OF A SCREAMING HARMONIC OR ANOTHER GUITAR NOTE. IT'S SIMPLY AMAZING!!! THANK YOU DAVE YOUR MUSIC HAS BASICALLY GOT ME THROUGH ALMOST OVER 2 THIRDS OF MY 44 YEARS OF LIFE AND STILL COUNTING BROTHER!!👍☝
This video brings me back to being 15 and taking lessons from Dave at Garden State Music! So glad he is still doing what he loves. I may have to get me one of them kick ass snake guitars when they are released!
Skid Row gave us one of the greatest metal-ballad guitar solos of all time in "I'll Remember You". The debut album is still a killer. Thank you for the music! Much respect from the Bay Area. MK
I bought both the tab books for Skid Row when I was like 15 and then learned them note for note, even though they weren't completely accurate which I figured out over time, and I still have them to this day, I always felt like Dave and Scotti were incredible guitarists, you guys just had a much heavier sound than most other bands of the time. Both you guys were a huge influence on my playing, I don't know if you'll ever see this Dave or Scotti but I just wanted to say thanks cause I still jam to Skid Row to this day. Oh and Here I Am is my favorite riff from you guys just so cool sounding.
That’s awesome. Same here. Still play skid row and I’m 45 purchased books when I was kid too but never lucky enough tonget the skid row 📚 but have others from that era. Music was never ever this good Again. I’ve chased down their sound for 30 years. Still don’t have it despite buying an Ada mp 1 that they used ( couldn’t afford it when I was young). But still need way more components then I have. Wish they would sit down together snd do all the riffs and solos from the first album!!!! That would be amazing!!!!! I might have to even get his new guitar!
What a cool video. Love Skid row and snake is a nice guy and I love their style. Just good ole rock and roll and not a bunch of mary Poppins greatest hits. Just great music and great musicianship. Thanks brother! ♥️🤟
This video is so enjoyable at so many levels: I admire Dave and Skid Row so much. They mean a lot to me since the 90‘s . So seeing Snake play in a year without gigs gives me pure joy! And this beautiful guitar is the icing on the cake. I got it tattooed in a vintage version cause it means so much to me. Thank you Dave for everything and thank you Kramer/Gibson for honouring him with his signature model. Everything in this video is beautiful
wow really enjoying these riff lords as you are covering some amazing guitarist!!! Very happy to see Scotti Hill and now Snake Sabo ! great guitarist and songwriter Thanks Gibson TV ;)) keep it up
After all these years we finally get to know Mr Sabo Snake as a person alik bit ...this is what I think he needed and we the fans needed.great job .and thanks...with a rebel yell she cried.............
Love this!! Thank you Snake and Gibson tv for putting this out there for us!! Nice to see another humble player who’s been doing this a while now and genuinely seems to love what he’s doing. Favorite bit was the reminiscing around what it meant to experience fans connecting with Youth Gone Wild😊
I know everyone has their favorite part of this video, but for me, it's that he's just playing a guitar into an amp. So many guitarists we like do instructional videos and they are going into a rack with $100,000 worth of gear like Axe FX III's, Eventides, etc, into walls of amps. This is simple, and helpful and to the point. Well done!
Could you imagine if that ever happened? Extremely highly unlikely since I've heard VB doesn't even play anymore, let alone remember how to play the stuff. He never tabbed it out and wish he did for himself. Source: Eddie Trunk's interview with him back in 2008
Snake,day 1 from from Melbourne Australia and was lucky enough to see you play a couple of times including the 100,000 plus concert at Calder Park.Thanks so much for the sound track of our lives.Now we are privileged enough to have you giving a Skid Row masterclass is another dream come true. TY Sir
Love these in depth videos, interviews, and content that you guys are producing of late. Loved Skid Row back in the day. Great to see Snake on your channel.
I've always loved the style of Snake Sabo - southern, nasty, groovy, so full of attitude - and Scotti Hill's style is just the perfect complement. What an era to live in, where I can learn from Snake Sabo himself how to play those master pieces! F**k Yeah!
Ill never forget when I heard their first singles. Snakes guitar sound blew my mind. And to see him reproduce it live was amazing. He was the real deal. Amazing tutorial here by a true musician This is why skid row is respected to this very day. Because of articulate members of the band like Snake here Don’t forget at one point Sebastian didn’t give af about SR. He left them .. now SB is all about what he did in SR
My favorite band as youngster, they shaped my life and gave meaning to suburban Sweden where all you could do was : Practice drums and guitar and daydream how life was over in Tom´s River, N.J . I used to skip school and watch "Ohh Say Can You Scream" All the time. THANKS for doing this, Dave Sabo and Rachel Bolan wrote the best songs and this video shows how they combined chops and Max Martin hooks (he used to sing in the band "It´s Alive" around -91, Martin White was his stage name), a winning combo for sure, and i think their music sounds as good as then. ♥️
I love the debut album, but Slave to the Grind is one of my favorite entire albums of all time. I listen to it from beginning to end, every time. “The Threat” may be my favorite track on it.
This was great Dave @Snake Sabo! Been a long time my friend! Glad to see you having so much success over the years. The last time I saw you before we lost touch was when I was working at Musician's Workshop in '84 and when you were in transition from Steel Fortune to SR. Good luck with the new album, and ROCK AND ROLL!!!
Snake, I bought this guitar, and I freaking love it, man. Skid Row is my second favorite band of al time behind Van Halen. Hope you don't hate me for it.
That was awesome, thank you Gibson Tv! One of my favorite bands and I still crank those first three Skid Row albums. I hope Kramer eventually releases the Snake Sabo guitar, I would buy one in a second.
Did an excellent job explaining these pieces of songs. You have answered a lot of my questions I had on these particular parts. Thanks, hope you make more videos. This is the best so far.
So good of you guys to freely give back to those who idolise your creativity and talents. I’ve just watched scotti’s tutorial on the solo for I remember you and I’m blown away with the amount of engagement and the attention to detail you both show. This is gold! Thank you for your efforts.
Snake you totally are a RIFF LORD, -so humble. Congratulations!! 🤘🏼🇦🇺💃🏽 looove ...this so much. Plus i know you were a guitar teacher, so your perfect for this.
Vedere snake Sabo alla mia età, quando nel 1991 avevo soltanto 19anni e grazie alla realtà di UA-cam e di tutti quelli che postano video così, per me che all'epoca cercavo soltanto nella mia mente di capire cosa stessero facendo co quelle mani per fare dei riff così spettacolari, adesso devo dirvi soltanto un immenso GRAZIEEEE. E tutti questi giovani non sanno nemmeno cosa si sono persi in quegli anni e soprattutto ancora gli anni passati, la bellezza di tutta la musica scritta dai vari mostri sacri del hard rock heavy metal e chi ne ha più ne metta. Grazie a dio sono nato in quegli anni. Dio benedica la musica 🎸💯❤🤟🏻🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
I got a few of Snakes picks from a show he did in the 90's in a smaller joint, my parents were there with my mom more or less propped on one of the monitors up front on the stage and he threw her a few picks... Saved them, gave them to me when I started playing because "Here use these!"... *I didn't use them because dude, Snake's picks, that's awesome* Also because man he uses some chonky picks...
Man i am so stoked to see Mr sabo! You and cc devile are the reasons I started playing guitar!! Shame I never got a chance to see you guys play live. This will have to suffice! Lol
I`ve always thought that Scotti Hill is one of the most criminally underrated guitar players ever. Never really paid much attention to Snake, but he seems a really cool dude.
@Andy Cummings well, I didn't want to sound rude about snake. What I meant was that I always saw Scotti as the lead guitarist in the band, and Snake kind of flew out of my radar. But that is my own (clearly flawed) perception. Maybe due to the low profile of the band (outside you know who) I never got to the point of reading about the band and who was the main composer and that kind of thing. This video clearly proves me wrong and puts Snake under a new perspective. And that's why this video is great
Seriously enjoyed this. Snake is so dialing it back in this video special. He can nail any Maiden solo. His inspiration on me and my playing will never be lost.
I just received the Dave Sabo guitar and it's beautiful, not disappointing at all! I have it with my original 1990 Kramer Nightswan. I added some Fu-Tone Titanium saddle screws and saddle blocks and the brass big block, wow does this guitar come alive! The Sabo model knocks it outa the park, just a beautiful beast of a guitar! Dave is an awesome guy, would love to meet him.
I met Snake at the grocery store in 2005. I shouted, "Snake! Dude!" He shouted back, "Dude! You!" and gave me a high five. I thanked him for being an influence on my playing and he seemed genuinely proud to hear that.
So cool! He seems to be that really down to earth appreciative dude.
was it a high end grocery store? what was he buying?

“We couldn’t find Riff Lords so you’re stuck with me for a while.” Man, gladly!
Snake Sabo is one of the nicest guys in the business.
Yes he is! I had the pleasure of hanging with him and the whole band backstage and elsewhere a few times!
In the *monkey* business
No doubt about it. I met him 3 times. 1 time at cbgb's playing in ozone monday. Hung out and took pictures backstage. You'd never think he was in a huge band a 1 pt. Very humbled man.

I love this band since i was 13, but i never saw SR live in my whole life and its ok i'm still your fans , love from Indonesia.
They blew G N'R off the stage in 91.
Monkey Business is one of the best riffs ever played. Not even a huge fan of Skid Row, but that is a jam
So much drive in that riff, love it!!
that is a sweet riff so much groove and I love riffs in f sharp. the lyrics to monkey business are so good
That riff is the definition of SNARL.
It's still one of the most crushing grooves ever.

Snake, I bought this guitar, and I freaking love it, man. Skid Row is my second favorite band of al time behind Van Halen. Hope you don't hate me for it.
So much going on in these songs that i never picked up on,great too see these guys again,so many good times rockin the skids!..
Modest guy. Real pleasure listening to him.
That was awesome, thank you Gibson Tv! One of my favorite bands and I still crank those first three Skid Row albums. I hope Kramer eventually releases the Snake Sabo guitar, I would buy one in a second.
The Snake model is coming this January! More details coming soon!
Did an excellent job explaining these pieces of songs. You have answered a lot of my questions I had on these particular parts. Thanks, hope you make more videos. This is the best so far.
SOO STOKED MY FAVE AXE DUDE FROM THE 80'S!!!!!!!!! getting his sig axe soon:)
I just looked that up after seeing your comment. That thing looks bad af!
Thank's for that material and breaking down your songs mate, really appreciated 🤘🏼
So good of you guys to freely give back to those who idolise your creativity and talents. I’ve just watched scotti’s tutorial on the solo for I remember you and I’m blown away with the amount of engagement and the attention to detail you both show. This is gold!
Thank you for your efforts.
Snake you totally are a RIFF LORD, -so humble. Congratulations!! 🤘🏼🇦🇺💃🏽 looove ...this so much. Plus i know you were a guitar teacher, so your perfect for this.
Thank you so much for doing this , you deserve all the Love u receive
God bless you. Jesus saves!
Vedere snake Sabo alla mia età, quando nel 1991 avevo soltanto 19anni e grazie alla realtà di UA-cam e di tutti quelli che postano video così, per me che all'epoca cercavo soltanto nella mia mente di capire cosa stessero facendo co quelle mani per fare dei riff così spettacolari, adesso devo dirvi soltanto un immenso GRAZIEEEE.
E tutti questi giovani non sanno nemmeno cosa si sono persi in quegli anni e soprattutto ancora gli anni passati, la bellezza di tutta la musica scritta dai vari mostri sacri del hard rock heavy metal e chi ne ha più ne metta.
Grazie a dio sono nato in quegli anni.
Dio benedica la musica
🎸💯❤🤟🏻🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Thanks Snake and thank you Gibson for actually bringing him on after you had Scotti!
I got a few of Snakes picks from a show he did in the 90's in a smaller joint, my parents were there with my mom more or less propped on one of the monitors up front on the stage and he threw her a few picks... Saved them, gave them to me when I started playing because "Here use these!"... *I didn't use them because dude, Snake's picks, that's awesome*
Also because man he uses some chonky picks...
Pick Jesus! Jesus saves! God bless you fellow rocker
Thank you! Thank you! Love the songs and the lessons. You are inspiring me to practice more while everything is shut down!! 🤘
Snake Rocks!
Love these Riff Lords episodes...Dave is such a cool dude...
One of my favourites !!! Love from Rio, Brazil
Man i am so stoked to see Mr sabo! You and cc devile are the reasons I started playing guitar!! Shame I never got a chance to see you guys play live. This will have to suffice! Lol
I`ve always thought that Scotti Hill is one of the most criminally underrated guitar players ever. Never really paid much attention to Snake, but he seems a really cool dude.
@Andy Cummings well, I didn't want to sound rude about snake. What I meant was that I always saw Scotti as the lead guitarist in the band, and Snake kind of flew out of my radar. But that is my own (clearly flawed) perception. Maybe due to the low profile of the band (outside you know who) I never got to the point of reading about the band and who was the main composer and that kind of thing. This video clearly proves me wrong and puts Snake under a new perspective. And that's why this video is great
This video is totally awesome. Dave the snake 🤘🤘🤘
Such a great guy and super cool lesson.
Seriously enjoyed this. Snake is so dialing it back in this video special. He can nail any Maiden solo. His inspiration on me and my playing will never be lost.
I just received the Dave Sabo guitar and it's beautiful, not disappointing at all! I have it with my original 1990 Kramer Nightswan.
I added some Fu-Tone Titanium saddle screws and saddle blocks and the brass big block, wow does this guitar come alive! The Sabo model knocks it outa the park, just a beautiful beast of a guitar!
Dave is an awesome guy, would love to meet him.
Youth Gone Wild is an amazing riff. So underrated
So nice to see some focus on Eileen, one of my faves. Into Another is other fave.....Thanks Snake!
One of the best debut rock albums ever. Slave to the gind also killer!
Damn skid row could still come back and kick the sh1t outa music again
They're still around
He's definitely brilliant guitarist to make simply on every riff but so touched. It's about tone not about loud🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I have Always like skid row
Man I love shit like this! Helps me learn and carry on the music
Youth gone wild 😍😍you make my day !
Tks
Love this! Skid Row’s first three albums are so damn good. I want to add that guitar to my collection! I hope it is eventually made available.
