C.C. DeVille TRIBUTE !

[@ryant3600]

I started playing guitar in 82' when I heard Mr. Crowley for the first time. It made me "wake up" to real musicianship, then I got into Vivian Cambell, Iron Maiden, Jake E. Lee, Akira Takasaki, Mark Kendall, EVH etc. Those guys made me realize you can actually have your own sound and technique.. Then CC came along and it made me realize that not only can you have your own sound, technique.. but you have to also enjoy it and have fun while playing... CC was like this crazy cartoon character.. Over the top, fun, party, killer riffs, great attitude and all that came out in his playing as well. By the mid to later 80's I was really into Technical playing like: Paul Gilbert, Randy Rhoads, Jake E. Lee, Reb Beach, Nuno, Marty Friedman, Jason Becker, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, Vivian Cambell, Satch, Vai, Vito Bratta etc. But I was a massively huge CC fan. My buddies used to tease me over that, but I'm like dude.. we can sit and practice all day long, but if we forget to have fun with it.. what's the point. CC got a bad wrap, cause he kinda came out when "serious" playing was the trend and he came in with the over the top everything and his playing was really good, but everything else was not serious whatsoever.. So, I think it turned some people off.. but you know.. Here it is 2018 and Poison is wrapping up a huge summer tour filling outdoor pavilions and arena's still. It's because we are still in need of a break from reality and need to have nothing but a good time..

[@kootallica]

_ Exactly my feelings too Ryan T! You explained it wonderfully my friend! I'm Pinning this comment to the top! Thanks so much for the fantastic comment and for checking out my tribute to C.C.! I really appreciate it :-) _ Koo

[@ryant3600]

Hey I'll always defend CC. Another thing about that dude, is he actually is a really good guitarist. I saw an interview with Tracii Guns who has toured w/ Poison a few times and he talked a little about CC and said, he would enjoy sitting and watching CC during his sound checks and practicing etc.. and he said he was shocked as to just how good he really is.. He even said he asked CC why don't you play that stuff, that's amazing.. And his response was.. The Poison fans expect to hear the Poison stuff. So, that's what I give them. I would love for him to do another cd him playing the "other" stuff, but I don't think he really cares about all that. He just wants to help people have fun.. nothing wrong with that.

[@TranzparentMethods]

CC had that fun, before technique attitude. He played every lead like it was his last time to touch a guitar. That's how I feel when I play. CC is my favorite guitar player because of that. He didn't have a technique, he just followed the melody. He never really played the same solo twice. That's a person who's living in the now. Samantha 7 was one of those things, it's now and it's not Poison, had it not been for his association with Poison, that could've been a top seller in the "pop punk" genre.

[@beauch112]

Ryan T I couldn’t agree more. I’m a huge fan of CC. Two of my favorite guitar players in CC and Mick Mars never got a whole lot of credit, but were damn fine at their craft!

[@cliffordamey4822]

Ryan T Well said!!!

[@julioocasioalbino1782]

He played the perfect solos for each song

[@justinkrann7406]

Nailed it!!! Kotzen was such a bad fit. CC IS POSION

[@libsrcrazy9634]

Love CC. Very underrated guitar player. Life goes on solo is one of the best ever.

[@ricstormwolf]

My favorite guitarist of all time. If it weren't for CC, I wouldn't have picked up the guitar.

[@kootallica]

+ricstormwolf That's awesome ricstormwolf! Thanks for your positive comment on the C.C. tribute video : ) _ Kootallica

[@nicojohnston4179]

CC is one of the reason i picked up a guitar and im glad i did

[@gmangsxr750]

Vito Bratta was my reason but CC kept it going

[@peteynum1]

Life goes on solo has to be one of the best solos ever...so much feeling..love it!

[@Cru16saders]

Pete- H I cant agree more, one of the best from CC.

[@stevewolf111]

Pete- H Totally Agree! It's So Beautiful!!!

[@oliviareynolds3875]

Pete- H, Yeah I agree! It's Great!!

[@anilbhate7]

Pete- H Oh, absolutely! I completely agree with you on that! That’s also what I consider to be the Absolute Best guitar solo from Guitar God C.C. Deville:). I wish I could play that, but it’s honestly a very difficult & very fast, melodic solo to play & I’ve honestly tried attempting to play it & I just can’t get it all down right now, but maybe 1 day I’ll be able to:). This just shows you how great of a guitar player he is:). Thanks Pete- H & to everyone here who commented to Pete- H, also. Have a great day everyone & Metal on!:-) \m/

[@jasondemuth6659]

Took me a while to nail Life Goes On but one my favorites is Life Loves A Tragedy...

[@JColt]

He is super underrated, just a few guitarists know how to create the perfect balance between fast and slow, he's on the list.

[@gioiaferrante]

Growing up with Bruce aka C.C in Bay Ridge Brooklyn was a blast even though he's older than running into him on the road myself. Great Memories Great time's and more too come

[@kevincarpenter3428]

He has definitely made his mark on rock music.a Mark that will never be wiped away.such a cool,fun guitarist.if I could play one tenth as good I'd be happy.

[@renaecheney814]

He would make the guitar sing! ❤ loved listening to him play

[@williamcharlesschneider4825]

ALL TIME favorite player!!!! Rock on Mr. Deville 🤘 🎸 🔥 I had the pleasure of meeting him at the park while I was out on a bike ride and he was with his family. He even took the time to stop and take a picture with me and gave me tips on starting out on guitar. True class act 🙏

[@marcharmon4693]

you know i've been playing forever and this might be one of the most underrated guitarists out there..

[@kootallica]

Thumbs Up for that comment Marc, appreciate your cool feedback on the video : ) C.C. is extremely entertaining and his melodies are fantastic! Thanks for watching & commenting : ) _ Koo

[@werearethedreamteam3724]

i started getting into guitar musix a while back.Then when i heard CC he literally blew my mind i think hes one of the greatest guitar player ever and that is an understatement

[@poisonoverdose1]

Hey Steve, I had a chance to meet CC soon after we formed the band and he was surprisingly polite, very smart and extrememly funny. When I (hesitantly) informed him I was his counterpart in a Poison tribute...Poison Overdose, he said in a modest tone, "I am flattered. Thank You so much." Wow, I was floored! He has been a very supportive friend ever since and a big inspiration. Very cool guy! DT (Danny Tietjen) Seville

[@dolphinzrwj1]

still love cc after all these years

[@dropperk]

CC is awesome. He keep playing for us. And I love his new wigs. The last one was crazy.

[@nu385]

The great thing about his playing is he always served the song. Each solo had melody, structure and hooks in it while still being infused with frenetic rock n' roll abandon. That's not an easy thing to do and he made it look effortless. A fantastic guitarist who doesn't get the respect he deserves.

[@scottanderson4175]

I absolutely love every solo CC did I wouldn’t change one note !!!

[@boohenry5150]

No holes barred in this group! They put it all out there!!!! What fun for all to have!!

Cool story bro

[@6672rock]

Great guitar player, awesome sense of humor, his chops get better all the time, plus he cleaned up his act, got off the nose candy and converted to Christianity. I can't say enough good things about the guy.

[@kootallica]

+6672rock Thank you for the wonderful reply 6672rock! C.C. was so much fun to see LIVE! Keep enjoying the music my friend : ) _ KOO

[@anilbhate7]

6672rock Is C.C. really a Christian, now? I tried looking for that here on KZbin & could not find anything on that. Is there any link of a video or article you could please🙏share with me on C.C.’s Christianity? I love his guitar playing, too! Huge fan! I was greatly influenced by his lead guitar solos. He’s a Guitar God to me & there are so many others I also consider Guitar Gods (i.e. Vito Bratta, Marty Friedman, Randy Rhoads, Slash, Steve Vai, Dave Murray, etc.):). Thanks:-)

[@anilbhate7]

woobraham Lincoln Thank you so very much! I found so many different articles on him becoming a Christian. Here’s 1 particular one with the Amazing Grace solo he did, as u mentioned. totalaxxess.typepad.com/total_axxess/2008/07/poision-gutiari.html And here’s an article they mention the Pastor C.C. wanted to see & talk to backstage. sleazeroxx.com/poisons-c-c-deville-becomes-a-christian/

The biggest accomplishment CC did was get clean. I have known CC for over 30 years as a guitarist and he is one of the greatest of all time. He was headed for the same fate of all the greats we had lost way to soon. God bless you CC my brother. Keep rocking, keep your body clean and in shape ( he runs like 4-5 miles daily).

[@palmvegas7878]

always thought cc and poison was so unfairly underrated. love hearing what he'd come up with and he always played solos that complimented the songs melodic and fun hooks well. i remember the first time i saw the talk dirty to me video and the camera racing down the line of cc's guitars - so much fun. as an typical example i cant imagine any other solo being played in say "every rose" - the perfect solo the song needed. poison + cc = good times :)

CC Deville you rock my world 😎💓you are such a personable kind soul with a hilarious personality. I think you are very Hansome, hot & sexiest man alive ❣BTW I am NOT some crazy fan, just a country gal & single businesswoman. Your guitar playing is so incredible with very unique qualities which are truly underestimated, you're a Genius! C.C. DeVille dating history Who is he dating right now? According to our records, C.C. DeVille is possibly single. OMG I totally would be indebted if I could meet this man!!!!🙏🙏🙏

This is just awesome, kootallica! These are several of C.C.’s excellent lead guitar solo’s. My all time favorite lead guitar solo from C.C. which is so difficult to play, for me it is, is his solo in “Life Goes On”. I honestly believe that’s the Absolute Best C.C. Deville guitar solo!:) And Poison w/ all the original members are still touring & rocking our world to this very day & I’m so happy for that:)! Thank you so very much for sharing this with everyone! I really appreciate it alot!:) Metal on, man!:-) \m/

[@Nolient]

kootallica thanks what's your favorite poison song I been stuck on play dirty love that solo

[@kootallica]

Impossible to answer my friend... there are so many great songs from them that I absolutely enjoy! "Look What the Cat Dragged In", "#1 Bad Boy", "Love on the Rocks", "Tearin' Down the Walls", "Look But You Can't Touch"...and of course all their Hit Songs too! One song that particularly sticks out for me was this one from their 3rd album... "Life Loves A Tragedy", at first I kinda passed over it for other songs on the album (maybe it was the slow building intro... before it kicks in), but later returned to it and fell in love with not only the guitar work but also the powerful lyrics : ) And regarding "Play Dirty"... I've always loved the gritty intro sound on that one! Cool rhythm & solo as well : ) Thanks again for your cool comments & interest in the video my friend : ) _ Kootallica
