Tribute To C.C. DeVille (Poison) - 8 of his best solos - by Ignacio Torres

[@steve7onfire]

FINALLY!!!!! Somebody who can ACTUALLY play C.C.’s solos! All these ‘hotshot’ guitarists who put him down, can’t play his solos the way he recorded them. Beautiful job mate, loved it 👍👍

[@13910534]

steve7onfire You are right!!!

[@TGMATCHIM]

CC can’t even do his own solos this accurately.

[@floydtracy37]

💯

[@timothyholmes4588]

Cc was very underrated

[@TGMATCHIM]

Shane Thompson I’m actually a huge CC fan. I know he is awesome. I just noticed he never does his solos note-for-note like this guy.

[@johnvinings5652]

Say what you please. CC’s solos were/are melodic, manic, wild, and original and fit perfectly with Poison’s songs. CC and Mick Mars are the two most underrated guitarists ever.

[@manhalen7046]

Agreed. Lets be honest, Poison's music isnt of the highest quality but it wasnt because of C.C Deville's playing. That Life Goes On solo is incredibly melodic and really beautiful. I've always loved Ride the Wind too. Think those two tunes hold up against any music of that era.

CC never gets the respect he deserves. His solos always had so much feel and melody to them.

[@Chino196]

Agreed, I love bruce, but he had a hard time playing the same thing twice.

[@D-NastyNoise]

CC was a perfect balance of technical ability and soul. He made every note count and always played for the song. He is easily one of the greatest guitar players and is sadly underrated.

[@Yelliwj]

They're great to listen to which a lot of other guitar heroes can't say about their solos.

[@blucat4]

It's because he can't play them live. The solo for Nothin' But A Good Time took 8 hours in the studio to get done.

So underrated.

[@sebanapo]

He's The Boss Of Glam!!! Not even Close!! 💯🏁🏆 My Only bone to pick is I wish he played more like the record "Live" Other than that He's definitely my top 5 All time!!!

As a guitarist, I’ve always love his tone and solos.

[@mromneyobama]

CC Deville is my favorite lead guitarist. His leads are melodic and guitar-crying, two qualities I always look for in solos.

[@ReneeNme]

CC is the main reason I looked for to going to The Stadium Tour. He didn't disappoint.

[@stevenm2949]

Poison may have been pop metal; but they wrote their own music, played their instruments and always sang/played live; not like todays’s crappy pop. Loved poison in the 80’s and love them now! Great video!

[@crodriguez2360]

Loved them as well! Used to play air guitar with a tennis racket to them when I was a kid.

[@rwieber79]

Facts!!!

[@TUUK2006]

So refreshing to see someone who doesn't try to BE the guitarist, but play their solos faithfully with their own spin and tone. Respect man.

[@mhasan666]

CC is the Poison!!! He made Poison sound and the songs that stood out all these years hands down. No one can replicate his emotions he put through his solos. I find his playing is very interesting and a damn good guitar player. Also, his style of guitar playing is not for today's hot shot guitar players. Now, this guy did a damn good cover of the solos. great playin' mate. Respect.

[@fuckyou96]

Oh yeah ! His solos are all over the fret board . Hella good

[@johnnycochran6128]

CC was my guitar hero and cause me to first pick up the guitar in 87 at 11 years old. Always loved him and his solos are timeless. Life Goes On and Something to believe in are some of the best solos out there

[@josearalat]

I have guitarists friends who do Rush and Dream Theater tributes but won't go near Poison. Not for credibility or whatever, but for fear of not been able to pull off CC's soulful incredible solos. To me CC's solos make up half of the song. They tell a story within a story. That Life Goes On solo makes you feel pain and sadness. What a great way underrated player CC was. Great video dude.

[@TheSeraphim75]

Tell you man, its harder for me to play solos that need precise bending and control than to play quick stuff...both have challenges but to me the latter is easier

Its not that he “couldnt play” its just that he wasnt anywhere close to his contemporaries in terms of technical skill. Mick Marrs maybe.

I've heard that too. I bet most people don't even know that CC went to Juliard and is classically trained? Poison was a fun band and CC did what was needed for the song. I loved CC's playing though.

[@grenademaster8981]

@@shellybean9 The fact that he went to Juliard and was classically trained makes his playing that much more disappointing. Again it's not that he's bad...it's just that he's a very good guitarist who landed in a era filled with virtuosos the likes of Vai, GIlbert, Malmsteen, Petrucci et. al.
