Well Alices name is on the Marquee so it is on his watch even if he wasn't watching. How does a snake fly first class?

I say, "Baloney." I've never heard that from anywhere else.

Could be worth pointing out that Alice doesn't own any of the snakes he uses? He hires and borrows them.

In his book Billion Dollar Baby, Bob Greene details how at the end of the BDB Holiday Tour, the Member of the ACG's Road Crew who was responsible for Alice's snake at the time managed to 'sneak' the reptile onto the commercial flight as carry-on luggage. Mr. Greene also recounted in the book how earlier in the Tour the Road Crew had tried to convince an airline to allow the snake to be carried onto the plane inside her cage but were unsuccessful.

I once was in the company of Alice and Brian Nelson. Brian was carrying the snake in a special carrier and it was headed to stay in the hotel room.

It is true that Alice has gone through many snakes in his years but as far as the Slash story is concerned I never heard anything like that.

I know people who were involved with Alice in the years GNR were on tour with him and O NEVER heard anything of the sort.

As Si pointed out the snakes are "rented". I think it's done on a regional basis and there are several snakes for each tour.

Also most of the snake "stories" are just that...stories. The snake in the old days was usually good for at least one press release or publicity stunt.

I mean how many snakes can Alice have had that got loose and slithered down the hotel toilet never to be seen again?

thank god she didn't hear about the chicken story.

Everyone’s heard that story I thought!
