"One of my friends is Snake from Skid Row"
About this Quote
The intent feels twofold. On the surface, Steve Brown is locating himself inside a lineage of late-80s/early-90s rock credibility: not just influenced by Skid Row, but socially entangled with it. Underneath, it’s a shorthand for legitimacy in a world where authenticity is policed through connections, war stories, and who will pick up your call. Saying “Snake” instead of “Dave Sabo” keeps it insider-y, like you’re expected to know the nickname; the audience either gets to feel included or reminded they’re outside the velvet rope.
Context matters because Skid Row represents a particular kind of rock stardom: pre-social-media fame built on touring, excess, and a tight ecosystem of bands, managers, and clubs. In that ecosystem, friendship isn’t just personal; it’s cultural currency. The subtext is simple: I’m not just a fan of that world. I have standing in it.
