Default Dave "Snake" Sabo interview

I hope this hasn't been posted already, I haven't seen it. In case it has, I apologize.

A couple weeks ago, Snake Sabo was interviewed on 99.1 CJAM-FM radio for about 2 hours. It's one of those interesting, in-depth interviews where you start telling the story from the beginning onwards.
He also talks about his experience with Bon Jovi. He doesn't say anything that we don't know already, I think, but it's still quite enjoyable to listen to the story from his point of view. He also mentions how he audiotioned for Cinderella when Jon got his eyes on them and he got to know they were looking for a new drummer and guitarist.

Here's the link, already set at the 13:40 mark: http://youtu.be/yp4gjzxSP-s?t=13m40s

EDIT: I posted this while actually listening to it, and there is some stuff I didn't know about, like around the 25:00 mark when he talks about Jon saving his ass sending Tico over to the studio when his drummer ended up in jail.

EDIT 2: He talks about the name "Skid Row" and he tells the story of how he came up with it and then mentions he was hanging at Jon's house and said he finally came up with a name, Skid Row, and Jon thought it was genius. I've always thought it was actually Jon the one who came up with it.
