Nice Boy Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Just a light hearted thread while we wait for some actual news. A couple of questions for you. 1.) What is the ultimate, best snake-dance clip from all the LIVE footage we have of GnR era 85-93? - Personally I think we reached 'peak snake' around 87-89, when Axl was wearing those tight leather trousers all the time, lol. In the biker shorts UYI era he seemed to tone down the snaking a bit, maybe he became self conscious that it had become a trademark/gimmick? - Anyway there are lots of great snakey clips to choose from, I would put his guest spot with Jagger and the Stones 89 up there, the VMAs and Ritz 88 of course, but at the moment this little gem is my favourite... what's yours? https://youtu.be/hkmiXmM4I1s?t=218 2.) Is the snake alive and well on the current NITL tour? I've seen him do a few shuffled side-to-sides, but can you post any proper good examples from 2016-2017, or the best we've had? Peace and snakes for all x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlingrl03 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I am going to keep looking but there are not many snake dance clips of Axl from this NITL tour...but here is a tutorial on how to learn how to do it. Best to watch it in mute so you don't hear the annoying porn type music lol! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendez Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 As far as I can remember, this was the last time he did it like he gave a damn. Haven't seen him do it like he meant it since this 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverburst80 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 MTV awards 88 surely, snake dances all over the place. I think the one 47 secs nearly caused the building to topple over. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Boy Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Incidentally, there's an interesting theory that Axl picked the dance up from... Davy Jones of the Monkees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooker Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I find he's a bit more snake like when he's on a smaller stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smaller stages meant he was obliged to move energetically in a confined space, but on the huge UYI stage he was more running about etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he's on a tiny stage he seems to bounce around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
