Is Snake Sabo a good guitar player?

[ParaDime77]

Where would you rate Dave?

[Wild Obsession]

Where would you rate Dave?

I'd rate Snake somewhere between Erik and Joey of Warrant............

[HottKarl777]

Bar band chops. Which is better than me.

[Ozzy Stradlin]

Good enough.

[aznsquirt]

He's alot better than Reb Beach :

That's the video I was going to post as evidence that he kinda sucks.

The difference between that and the Scotti Hill video is huge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2Uj0IWc3CE

And no, neither of them are better than Reb, wtf

[aznsquirt]

Sabo doesnt suck at all.

And Reb Beach is a dirt bag.

Sabo plays like shit in the video you posted.

No clue what your hardon is about Reb, but what does him being a dirt bag have to do with how good he is at guitar?

Hes no scotti hill

[Sleek]

I thought both of the skids guys were super good state-of-the-art guitar players...nothing really stood out, but they had chops and could play anything most people were doing at the time.

Way better than Joey and Erik from Warrant.

Better than Reb Beach? Shit, I don't know. All of that shit is kind of the same. Reb Beach, Vito Bratta, the Skids guys, all the top end of average-but-not-distinct.

That said, in that video, his tone is shit.

[LAglamrocker]

He looked awesome and played Skidrow songs from 1989-1993 like a God..just like the band

Can he play well and do stupid songs from Rush or Dream Theatre? Dont give a f*ck

To look like Skidrow daily is the best
Skidrow 89 unbelievable

Way better than stupid generation before and after#skidrowlife

[FreddyFender]

He knows how to pick up a guitar and make sounds that millions of people wanted to listen to, so he's at least "pretty good"

Give me a guitarist that can write over a guitarist who has solo chops all day. You can bullshit soloing - can't bullshit writing.

[diablomozart]

there's a few tricky things in his solos..yeah he was a good guitar player imho...so was scotti hill...d.m.

[endstand]

Technically above average for sure.

But what’s interesting that Skid Row did not go to ”one cool ass lead guitar hero” route. You could hardly tell a difference between Snake and Scotti, neither of them stood out image wise and both shared the lead parts.

Good enough to sell millions of records!

They aren't virtuosos and never claimed to be. Dimebag opened for them and they were cool with it.
