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 👍👍
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.
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.
william arbogast Exactly! I never understood why people put his playing down, to me his solos are very emotional and are like an additional verse that u can sing along too.🤘
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!!! He made me want to play guitar!! Open Up and Say Ahhhh was my first ever Album I fell in love with and blew my mind!! 8 years Old "Life changed Forever" Poison Forever 💗
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.
So damn good dude! CC has to be one of the greatest Pentatonic and whammy players to walk this earth...So much feel....People who hate him are shitheads...
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
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.
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!
This video is so damn beautiful and relaxing to listen to just beautiful. CC makes solos with Feelings and emotions, CC was always my favorite guitar player for a darn good reason, Thanks for this awesome performance 👏
Poison Flesh and Blood was the first cassette I bought when I was 11 back in 1990 and hearing C.C playing for the first time is the reason why I pick up the guitar in the first place. He needs more recognition and respect.
The emotions, the phrasing, the tone and the STORY telling of the SOLOs are masterfully beautiful! Life goes on & Every rose has its torn. Sadly, he's below the ground rated and only few knows him. - CC Devile is one of the greatest.
I think C.C. DeVille was an underrated guitarist. If you really listen to his riffs , especially on Open Up Bad Say Ahh!, You can hear some really good playing on there. He studied music composition in college. I like all his stuff. Even his Samantha 7 stuff. Thank you for the video.
Very underrated song indeed. Another song from that same album that is very underrated is Life Loves A Tragedy....a song that until this day I believe should have been released as a single.
I’ve heard he could not play for shit which I automatically thought was patently absurd. This isolates his work and if anyone says he couldn’t play guitar proficiently then they are deaf or have a grudge/bias. Awesome stuff brother!
Brother, you got such chops. God bless you and I’m proud to support your content production. I will always hit the like button and do what I can to support your channels growth. Take care and keep on kickin out the jams, keeping this style of music alive and available for the young to discover and dive into! God bless. All the best to you and yours!
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.
@@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.
@@grenademaster8981 what is it exactly that you don’t like about his playing? Because everything I’ve heard from him, he sounds exactly like every other guitar player from the 80s. I don’t understand what people hate so much about him.
wow, respect! life goes on solo... the original is not played in one step :-) I'm am a professionell guitar player too. I Alway loved the style of c.c. Deville, so freaky and fresh. Missing guitar player like him at these days. YOU played it really great in each detail! and Yeah, Fleah an Blood in my always favorite Album from Poison! :-)
@rattlesnake-ef6so that’s good to hear he was even using heroin at one point. I never went to a poison concert but I’ve heard plenty of their life stuff and I don’t think he’s ever played many of the songs correctly live I think he was just high all the time and all over the place.
CC created these solos, and they truly masterful. Sadly however, if another player would have done them, critics would rave about the solos. But because it was CC, he got little respect. This guy does these to perfection. Beautiful. WELL DONE👌
Awesome! I’ve always thought C.C. was overlooked. Great job! Would love to see other underrated 80’s guitarists represented. (Joey and Eric from Warrant, Tim Kelly from Slaughter...etc.
C.C. Deville is an underrated guitarrist. He has not received the recognition of a great lead guitarrist and most of the time he is overlooked by music fans just because he is in a pop/ glam rock band but make no mistake, he is very talented and a great lead guitar player. I love his solos.
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. Saludos desde Puerto Rico.
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
Poison was very much one of those bands that either you where into them or you weren't. I wont deny that CC had some great talent when it came to his guitar.
I'm not a Poison fan, never listened too far into CC's playing, but after listening to this, CC is probably the most talented member of Poison, an underrated guitar player for sure.
Qué bárbaro excelente guitarrista todo un maestro toca hermoso la guitarra este tipo de personas deberían de ser eternas. Saludos desde Monterrey, Nuevo León, México.
Que grupazo más infravalorado, por el maquillaje, me encanta el rollo musical de CC deville . Que bueno eres compi, que pedazo de guitarrista. Enhorabuena!!!!
I’m a drummer and I can watch this all day! CC has such great emotion behind his solo’s that I’ve always loved and appreciated. Great job my friend, loved it!!
Cc and slash inspired me to pick up a guitar and become a musician. CC’s guitar solos were insane and had such emotion in them. You actually felt sadness or excitement in those riffs. Not too many people can create that emotion and be that complex. This guy nailed every solo.
Wow!!! awesome!!! You are so talented. CC Deville is one of a kind and one of the best. You play mas bien que las rechucha!!! Saludos desde el país de Chile!
Making a guitar solo memorable is the most important thing, and CC has dozens of memorable solo, that's why I think he's such a good guitar player. Very
Cc wrote so many awesome and creative solos. He utilized those fast runs with melodic phrases and distinct placement of segements that fit together like a sweet puzzle. Thats how a good solo is done and fantastic covers of them.
There is nothing like LIFE GOES ON SOLO, by far the best of the best. You can actually feeeel CCs feelings on each part, and I love he made it long, it is just the greatest!
Thanks for that I grew up listening to them playing my drums to their songs blasting as a kid good times my first concert poison slaughter bullet boys Toronto Ontario bullet boys mooned the crowd Blas and Mr Rikki Rockets drum kits I was in heaven thanks sis
Holy shit. Wow. I never really listened to poison all that much. But this video really opened my eyes. These past few months I’ve been listening to lotta stuff from the 80s as well band history and such. Every rose is probably one of rock’s greatest solos thank you
Wow! Thanks for posting this. CC is an amazing guitarist and is probably one of the most unrated guitarist of all time. I heard him say one time that you either play the stuff that you love or you play the stuff that sells and makes money. He had to make a choice about that a long time ago. On a personal level, I swear I will marry the guy who can play all those solos. lol I am a huge Poison fan!!!
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 👍👍
steve7onfire You are right!!!
CC can’t even do his own solos this accurately.
💯
Cc was very underrated
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.
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.
Vito Bratta
I think the Life Goes On solo is one of the best period
Mine is Fallen Angel 💗
Yes hand down.
Life goes on solo is top 5 solos in Rock History!!!
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.
and you're dam right! life goes on is one of the best solos ever made. i put it up there next to tornado of souls
This guy just gets it. CC is the reason I picked up guitar.
zetok45 pick up that guitar and talk to me......
Same here.
Me too!! Nothing but a good time guitar solo blew me away when I was a kid.
I'm sorry to hear that.
@@mickfromaustralia2680 Imagine if you heard Randy Rhoads...
Finally a guitarist that done CC justice
If the solo for life goes on doesn't bring a tear to your eye then you have no soul.
that solo is the guitar crying.
He's a legit underrated master at writing solo's. This guys a master at covering his underrated solo's.
People rag on CC DeVille, but I have always thought he had very melodic, tasty solos
william arbogast Exactly! I never understood why people put his playing down, to me his solos are very emotional and are like an additional verse that u can sing along too.🤘
So underrated.
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!!! He made me want to play guitar!! Open Up and Say Ahhhh was my first ever Album I fell in love with and blew my mind!! 8 years Old "Life changed Forever" Poison Forever 💗
@@gmangsxr750 I could understand that.. He's very Jersey!! 🤣🤣💯👊🏼
Yeah I agree his melodic solos and licks stay in your head and really make the song. Mick Mars is another under rated guitarist with great melody.
CC never gets the respect he deserves. His solos always had so much feel and melody to them.
Agreed, I love bruce, but he had a hard time playing the same thing twice.
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.
They're great to listen to which a lot of other guitar heroes can't say about their solos.
Tbats what happens when u play bubblegum music. See also Richie Sambora.
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.
I've always loved CC's solos. I think he's criminally underrated. Life goes on and something to believe in are easily his best!
@Scooter McDingleberry
Definitely
He is one of favorites.
@@Taylorpotts10 Yep. He be da favorute of da many one.
Sacrifice (flesh and blood) is awesome as well - nobody seems to cover it at all - probably cos they can’t
life goes on is gold. and life loves a tragedy. best songs on a great album.
CC Deville is my favorite lead guitarist. His leads are melodic and guitar-crying, two qualities I always look for in solos.
CC is the main reason I looked for to going to The Stadium Tour. He didn't disappoint.
As a guitarist, I’ve always love his tone and solos.
So damn good dude!
CC has to be one of the greatest Pentatonic and whammy players to walk this earth...So much feel....People who hate him are shitheads...
CC is criminally underrated!!
100% on the mark. CC would be proud. 👍😈👍
Cadillac Coupe DeVille is my favorite guitar player of all time!
Only few know the meaning of the infamous Cadillac model.🤙
And fewer know CC's real name: Bruce Anthony Johannesson
Me too
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
Same!!!

Oh yeah ! His solos are all over the fret board . Hella good
I love C.C.'s licks. I don't know how you could find fault with them unless you wanna argue that they're too perfect. Rock On CC!
CC’s guitar solos are really tasty and very soulful. Love it! You did a fantastic job!!
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!
Loved them as well! Used to play air guitar with a tennis racket to them when I was a kid.
Facts!!!
Pop or not, they´re metal, even if most "true metalheads" doesnt like it (i´m what some consider a "true metalhead" but man, i freaking love Poison)
"Life Goes On" was impeccable. Well played, sir!
2:32 That Life goes on solo is so beautiful, and flawlessly played.
That vibrato wow it really shows you have a good ear and have put the hours to develop your playing keep it up all the best
He had feel and melody. Underrated. Fuck all that speed and technique of the glam daze..i like his heart and feel.
my favorite guitarist of all time! CC number 1!
CC always had the tastiest solos
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.
Cc is a melodic monster solo guitar ! Great !
This video is so damn beautiful and relaxing to listen to just beautiful.
CC makes solos with Feelings and emotions, CC was always my favorite guitar player for a darn good reason,
Thanks for this awesome performance 👏
CC is ABSOLUTELY one of my top 5 guitarist from the 80’s! 100% great soloist and writer.
Poison Flesh and Blood was the first cassette I bought when I was 11 back in 1990 and hearing C.C playing for the first time is the reason why I pick up the guitar in the first place. He needs more recognition and respect.

I think C.C. DeVille was an underrated guitarist. If you really listen to his riffs , especially on Open Up Bad Say Ahh!, You can hear some really good playing on there. He studied music composition in college. I like all his stuff. Even his Samantha 7 stuff. Thank you for the video.
Understated and underrated as hell.
Criminally underrated guitarist who knows melody unlike any other. Solid guitar playing
CC is a legend! Please do "Valley of lost souls", underrated song
Very underrated song indeed. Another song from that same album that is very underrated is Life Loves A Tragedy....a song that until this day I believe should have been released as a single.
@@mariolopez3728 That album was perfect ( Flesh n' blood ) not a single bad song on it
@@gfgranja Agreed....Poison's best album out of all of they've released.
Let It Play is also very underrated.
@@makes0methingup The whole album kicks ass
Wow! I love Posion, awesome interpretation!!!
I’ve heard he could not play for shit which I automatically thought was patently absurd. This isolates his work and if anyone says he couldn’t play guitar proficiently then they are deaf or have a grudge/bias.
Awesome stuff brother!

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.

There's only few guitarist that can't be replaced in the band, CC is one of them.
Yep. They tried and it didn't work.
@@michaelgarcia2050well if CC could lay off blow and actually play live it would help.
@rattlesnake-ef6so that’s good to hear he was even using heroin at one point. I never went to a poison concert but I’ve heard plenty of their life stuff and I don’t think he’s ever played many of the songs correctly live I think he was just high all the time and all over the place.

Awesome! I’ve always thought C.C. was overlooked. Great job! Would love to see other underrated 80’s guitarists
represented. (Joey and Eric from Warrant, Tim Kelly from Slaughter...etc.
Exactly, mike slammer played the solos on, at least, warrant's first two albums
@Charles Canning really? Are you sure?
@@jvidalw source?
@gabriel vazquez source?
@gabriel vazquez yes, he did.
CC is way, way unappreciated. His solo in Fallen Angel is one of my all time favs, but as is displayed here, he had many great ones.
CC is an intricate piece of a band that is still very good and certainly very underated

Very cool CC does the solo on warrants Cherry pie little known fact probably one of his most famous solos nobody even knows it
Life goes on, what a freaking solo, I like the all but that one is one of the best from that era.
Poison was very much one of those bands that either you where into them or you weren't. I wont deny that CC had some great talent when it came to his guitar.

Great job as a Poison Fan...I appreciate you playing this..
dude you nailed everyone of those to a tee. great job would love to see you do life loves a tragedy solo most underrated poison song.
I would say that this guy in the video is just as good. To be able to play those solos note for not is awesome. Great guitar playing.
I can’t even imagine how talented someone has to be to nail all these guitar solos from different guitarists. Something of a sevant/genius.
I love his solos ..so 80s!!! So pimp
You are one of the best Rock guitar players on the net I've seen.
I’m a drummer and I can watch this all day! CC has such great emotion behind his solo’s that I’ve always loved and appreciated. Great job my friend, loved it!!
WOW, Yo that Life Goes On solo was excellent. Very good
there is noone else who has as many iconic soles.
NOPE!
Something to believe in and life goes on best solos

Que manera de terminar el vídeo con Every Rose Has It's Thorn! 10/10
I always thought his lead work on the cover of "your mama don't dance & your daddy don't rock n roll" was some of his best leads.
People who rag on CC are just haters, because the man clearly knows wtf yes doing.
Brillante amigo brillante !!!
Life goes on is one of the best guitar solos ever..period
C.C. Gran guitarrista!
You can peer a sense of genius from Deville in this video, great tone!
Always loved his solos. He can make that guitar sing! Emotive atonal licks and melodies, a beautiful sound. Life Goes On is on of my fave of his.
"life goes on" the best, of course!!
Making a guitar solo memorable is the most important thing, and CC has dozens of memorable solo, that's why I think he's such a good guitar player. Very
Cc wrote so many awesome and creative solos. He utilized those fast runs with melodic phrases and distinct placement of segements that fit together like a sweet puzzle. Thats how a good solo is done and fantastic covers of them.

Top guitarist
There is nothing like LIFE GOES ON SOLO, by far the best of the best. You can actually feeeel CCs feelings on each part, and I love he made it long, it is just the greatest!
Great playing dude!!! Also CC was always underrated in the 80's, great memorable solos.
Man you got the CC's tone almost to the 100%. I don't see many guitar players who can play CC's solos.
Thanks for that I grew up listening to them playing my drums to their songs blasting as a kid good times my first concert poison slaughter bullet boys Toronto Ontario bullet boys mooned the crowd Blas and Mr Rikki Rockets drum kits I was in heaven thanks sis

Wow great playing man🙏🙏....CC sure is one of the best guitarist....love his playing🙏🙏🙏
CC D is a great axeman, and you emulate his work perfectly 👌 my favourite is life goes on ......
Absolutely awesome! CC is the most underrated lead and rhythm guitarist in rock history
Not one, not two, but EIGHT solos covered here. CC is a f'n legend, just wish he'd play this clean live.
They are all great solos. Love cc. Life goes on is amazing. Some of those licks and bends are tricky he was very creative
Wow! Thanks for posting this. CC is an amazing guitarist and is probably one of the most unrated guitarist of all time. I heard him say one time that you either play the stuff that you love or you play the stuff that sells and makes money. He had to make a choice about that a long time ago.
