Holy shit. After watching, I've just realized how criminally underrated CC Deville really was compared to those much-more-lauded guitar heroes in Kotzen and Saraceno.

@@r.m7921 Kotzen is a 'look-at-me, I'm-awesome-and-important' who detracts from the song and performance. CC is a 'look-at-me, let's-have-fun!' who enhances the song and performances. Blues isn't a 'look-at-me' type at all. CC is perfect for Poison, and part of why they will still be playing stadiums 20 years from now.

The two "Poison impostors", as I call them, have NOTHING on CC! The songs don't sound at all like they should with either of the other two. You can definitely tell the difference when CC is back behind the guitar! So happy CC is back!!!

The CC version is from the album but I saw them play it live opening for DLR & even though I was pretty critical of many live performers I thought CC & the band kicked ass, that night. Of course, Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan were so damn good that I must be honest & say that was my favorite part of that particular concert.

CC > Blues > Kotzen CC: an actual genius who created some of the most iconic guitar riffs and solos that will stand the test of time, also a true showman, insanely skilled, perfect for Poison. Very happy he's now clean and sober and back with Poison, currently touring and terrific live. Essential to what makes Poison so great. Blues: A workman-like professional, reliable who subbed in for a time, and actually did some good work with Poison (especially 'Sexual Thing' and a few others from the Crack a Smile album). Although his natural style wasn't much like Poison, he was professional enough to (mostly) match with the band, though at least in the clip above his solo was miles away from matching (still better than Kotzen's though). Kotzen: a guy who thought he was a genius because he was skilled (not the same thing as having an actual muse). Thought everything was about himself, never bothered to match to the band. Worst fit, also arguably the worst mainstream Poison album (though there were a few bright spots, 'Fire and Ice', 'Ain't that the Truth', 'Theatre of the Soul'). Was actually technically impressive ('Ritchie's Acoustic Thang') but confused his finger skill for actual muse, which he didn't have much of (at least back when he was with Poison). For some reason guitarists really like this guy, but the average listener doesn't. No iconic riffs. Possibly in his solo career though? Don't really care as self-indulgent and self-important blues isn't my particular cup of tea. Haven't kept track, hopefully he grew up eventually.

I met Kotzen. He's a douche-canoe. And this was probably around 2013 or 14 with Winery Dogs. He was at a record release signing party and acoustic set in NJ. The rest of the Winery Dogs were cool. He sat there with this pouty face like he couldn't be bothered. CC is awesome and always nice to fans... when I met him he was running in the parking lot before a show and even then, in the middle of his jog, he was cool enough to say hi.

Umm what about the Something to Believe in or life goes on solos? Ur seriously saying they dont have soul? U can literally hear his guitars pain as it weeps. They're the only 2 guitar solos that have actually given me chills and get me choked up at certain parts. Something to believe in solo is best I've ever heard as far as putting your heart and soul into a solo and expressing it. True masterpiece in my eyes. He can actually play better than them. His problem has always been that hes always high tho sadly. And it makes him sound 90% worse. And he is a genius when it comes to writing great stuff. Too bad he can rarely Express it tho cuz of him being high.

CC is the worst player technically speaking....BUT.....he is the only guitarist for Poison. Richie and Blues are 2 of my favorite players...outside of what they did with Poison that is (in my opinion what they did with Poison is their weakest material). CC Deville is like Mick Mars...they have limited ability...they dont have great tone or timing....BUT....in the bands they helped create...they cannot be replaced, no matter how technically proficient their replacements might be. Richies solo material and his Smith/Kotzen album are fucking brilliant...and if you haven't heard all of the music Blues has been putting out in the last decade.....you need to treat yourself....Its Dark/Country Blues...and it is all amazing. AND....CC is right back where he belongs in Poison
