C.C. DeVille - That Road of Excess (2 of 6)

[TheClassicrockgrl]

did i miss something he had a hard time sayin 2000s so n e one no wut happened

[skyroe2]

he looks like chris mad dog russo

[iamyourgod1988]

I genuinely think CC's funny here, good man!!

Really enjoying trying to copy what he does, it's a great thing, highly amusing!

He's great!

[poisonoverdose1]

I had a chance to meet CC soon after we formed our tribute and he was surprisingly polite, very smart and extrememly funny. When I (nervously) informed him I was his counterpart in a Poison tribute, 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!

seems like a cool guy...

[nicnognic]

This guy is living proof that not all scandinavians are big and tall .. this dude looks TINY

[bapbap24]

Yes there are two paths you can go by but in the long run, There's still time to change the road you're on.

[RobShu]

I'm so glad to see CC talking about the Lord, he got saved! Wow, that just blows me away...

[bigeherb]

is that his real hair?

[MegaIzzy2]

@bigeherb Yes, it's his real hair

[ralphyetmore]

Don't know much about his guitar playing, but this guy has always been the best interviewee of all time. This guy is a walking sound bite. I could listen to him for days.

One of these days I'll have to check out his music.

[MrBongo43]

Calling all music fans (URGENT MESSAGE)!

Go to You Tube and do a search for Keith Carmichael/Faithfully and give it a listen. You will be glad that you did. It is absolutely magnificent and would make Steve Perry proud. Be sure to rate the video and share with your friends.

[AncerG]

Good guy, CC Deville. Really nice person.

[mrmres]

"C" means "yes" (as in 'Si'). Thus, C.C. could mean "yes, yes". DeVille? Hmmmm. How about "devil"?

C.C. DeVille is 'rock 'n roll' speak for "yes, yes, devil."

[u2norton]

@mrmres uh....no. c.c. deville is a car. Cadillac Coupe Deville

[Bang4URBux]

all the excess alcohol and herion, 

[eRnsthendrixon]

Wow! Those teeth are insanly white.

[MrBongo43]

@eRnsthendrixon  Their dentures.

[pubeonapipe]

Sheesh, this guy sounds like an old grandpa when he talks.

[995sunglasses]

cause cc is a jerk... this guy is a greedy basterd.. ask him how he acts against people that doesn't pay his 10k for his appearances.. this guy talks about grace??

[22infection]

R.I.P Les Paul

[kulotzk]

God bless you my  Brother!

Grace abounds!

[hotandspicy666]

I really like what he's said here...good on ya CC

[4JayeP]

CC has come a long way. Back in the 80's he was the MOST annoying person on the Sunset Strip.

[jodii66]

So happy you are well, C.C. It sounds like you have alot to teach the younger generation.

[thetruejaneysue]

"Living is not a right. It's a priveledge." Awesome.

[jingelsby]

Looks like CC has accepted Christ as his Savior..Good for you C.C..God Bless you ,hopefully Bret too will follow in your footsteps!

[mtlsixshooter]

He's a good man. C.C, I have truly enjoyed your music. Hope u are always well.

[bodom078]

Watching C.C on the 'Nothin but a good time' video made me wanna pick up and learn the guitar. 20 years later still playin.

[dmarzio]

@bodom078 you werent alone, i felt the same. thx CC

[Punkerstyle9]

he looks good for his age :D love ya

[LANX93]

He really has turned himself into a stable, decent guy. He could have kept living that life of excess but he got out of it. Good on him to, and he still rocks!

[HAincguys]

look u mother fucker most of that shit is due to bret and were the fuck u come off hes better than u

[gabbardi]

@HAincguys

Were you in the band, Yoko?

Learn to communicate without all the

expletives=(swearwords)

[ShinobiNinjaMusic]

LEGEND!!!!

[Graiskye]

Give th guy a break, do you not hear him, do you think hes bullshitting. I hate Poison, but I relate and understand what he is saying, and it takes balls to be honest like that, so fuk U.

[downincognito76]

its great to hear someone whos been there n done it , its great to see someone who as matured , life is full of lessons n cc has found the way to evolve . all of us shd take note , especially edward van halen .God bless him and all the best , im very thankful that hes so good at expressing himself . Hes an inspiration, cc n poison keep on rockin!!!!!

[mrblackbrown]

Are you for real? Holy crap, downin, "cc has found the way to evolve." Give us all a break and try not to be such a slave to your prejudices, man. Glad you're a fan of this guy's music, but there's nothing exemplar about this guy's life.

[downincognito76]

actually not too much of a fan of his music , much more a VH david lee roth fan , i just think hes genuine n givin advice , great

[hanselkksc]

@mrblackbrown

Well spoken. Guys like CC are classic examples for "don't speak just play". He struggles with seeking for the right expressions even if it might be a simple word and talks about simple and banal things with wide open eyes. Good for him that he came out of the depth, but his brain is damaged for sure. No balance, he's almost shouting. Excuse possible spelling mistakes, i didn't take CC's drugs :D, it's just that English is not my first language (German Kraut ;))

[tomfy1979]

Is this guy coked up or what?

[BaronVonBielski]

Actually not, he is way different when he is under the influence. The pitch of his voice is even different.

[ezl2010able]

@tomfy1979 He put meth up his a-hole and now he needs to have his fire put out!!

[gnr15555]

dude looks good for all hes been through with the excess. FUCKIN BADASS GUITARIST

[ezl2010able]

@gnr15555 You must be 16.

[gnr15555]

@ezl2010able no im actually 19

[andrew8833]

@gnr15555 He does doesnt he? Doesnt look at all like hes 48, could pass for being in his 30s, I was quite shocked to realise hes 48.

He's a legend though, pure under appreciated legend, what I love about what I like in music, is I always seem to go for the under rated guitarists, but hey thats just me, I love it!

He could rock on forever I think!

[andrew8833]

@gnr15555 Hes making me genuinely smile aswell, which is quite funny, he sounds like he gets (or even looks like), he gets soo excited about what either hes playing or talking about, the sign of a great guy!

I mean I have seen videos of Les Paul talking about the guitar he made or designed for Gibson, he called it the les paulveriser (excuse spelling), really made me laugh out loud, I was a bit like woooowww im laughing am I insane? LOL

2 great guys!

[Bang4URBux]

@gnr15555 he looks like a dog's arse, great guitarist though

[lifereigns]

WOW the wisdom he speaks about seeing GRACE in people and how he use to cut them short and understanding where others are at when we encounter them at life. THATS FREAKEN AWESOME INSIGHT. tHATS HUMILITY

[brianemery5758]

i just went to a poison, def leppard, and cheap trick concert last nite and got to go back stage and got his auto graph

[Never1Grow1Up1]

Dude so did i! it was awesome!!! CC is frekin amazing. and thats really cool that you got to go backstage and meet him!!! haha CC IS AWESOME!!!!!

[pokemonfan1594]

He is my inspiration for playing music. Thank you Mr. Deville, you are great.

[BuckeyeSecretary]

Is C.C. still making music?

[JizzRock2315]

yea he is still in poison writin records and albums still

[gbrown4x4]

Really good to hear him talk and get his point across.. Cool If i didn't know any better, just listening, I'd almost think I was listening to Joe Pesci......LOL

[chainreactiondet]

C.C. you speak the truth! Very inspirational! More power to ya!

[immawangster101]

my friend pat can play better than cc and slash but they still both rock cc is da bomb

[sk8punk83]

seems like he's high as shit

[HonRevPTB]

You're an idiot!!! He's been sober for years. The only thing he is high on is his continuing growth regarding his passion for life!

[xotinamariaxo]

I am the same age as CC and been going to concerts since i was 14.I must say that POISON treats there fans like friends and they are the coolest musicians i ever met!!Plus,they put on a hell of a show!!

[ScooBeeDooBeeDoo]

Hello, I am 49 years old, There was a memorial show in 1990, it was for Mr. Leo Fenders Memorial Concert ( he died in that year, his namesake is on the Fender Guitars) this show was in Irvine, California. there were several acts, that played guitar, one of them Mr. CC Dedeville, he was Literally -actually -unplugged from the show. , reason being ...he was so drunk he was swearing, He was playing a White Les Paul Guitar, WTF?.

[Ieatpaste23]

The guys from Poison seem to be really cool. I can't wait to see them in Aug.

[doc2earth]

im sorry but he is not a living legend of music. Ian Anderson yes...cc NO!

[jhachey222]

is an opinion the sole prerequisite to be the world's greatest music critic?

no.

stop trying to be a know-it-all music guru

[Snotra]

No more drugs for this bozo.

[whoabob]

Cc you have a ncredible sound,and yes your very underrated.But you definitly made poison man,keep rockin.

[tonyaldi]

What a down to earthly type guy, Way to go C.C. Tell it like it is, No B.S. !!!

[nWo24life]

Rikki Rockett is a great drummer, but C.C. DeVille is what defined the sound of Poison.

[boyanmusic]

C.C. has been my favorite guitar player since i was 10 yrs old

[kidsalami05]

I had a similar experience with C.C. In 1993, I was an 18-year-old college student living in San Antonio, TX. Poison had just broken up, and C.C. was promoting the movie "Son In Law". I won a contest to meet him, and hang out with him for the evening. He was coked out of his mind, but extremely gracious. I will always remember that evening with him. I still have the photo of he and I in front of the movie theater together. I'm glad to see he has found the Lord, and realizes his blessings.

[HelmutVonSphincter]

CC give yourself more credit. In about 2000 I walked into a Texaco at 10am for a cup of coffee, and you were standing right next to me doing the same. I asked why you were in my town (Vegas) and he said he was playing with his band Samantha 7 that night at a small club close by, then invited me to come. He was completely cool, gracious, no star trip at all. Great show for about 150 people and he talked about 1/2 the time (imagine that!) I got some pics with a fuji disposable. CC fan forever !

[fraaz]

poison came to my home town back in the late 80's .I had some good friends who were out riding their four wheelers and met them .they were out riding their dirt bikes with the crew .They not only invited my friends to ride them .They even gave them backstage passes .Really cool guys!

[naderchaser]

Wow! This guy is talking straight from the heart. He has very obviously been "working"..and yes, the word is "working" on his inner self. This guy is a real man. A stud. Thanks for this, CC!

[diegoescolochog]

CC rocks!

[sebastianbach111111]

poisonnnnnnnnnn rulesssssss

[FutureFederer23]

Did you guys know CC beat out slash for spot of poisons lead guitarist.

[MagicMoon715]

I do know CC is on the top 10 best guitar heros along with Jimmy Page,Jimmy Hendrix,Eddie Van Halen,Stevie Ray Vaughen,CC DeVille.I had the honor of meeting him and he is awesome.Poison is a cool band and they never think they are too good to meet there fans.They dont treat there fans like shit like some bands!!

[ReneeNme]

*They dont treat there fans like shit like some bands!!

Can you say Aerosmith.

[MagicMoon715]

I never seen Aerosmith.POISON treats there fans like friends.I never seen anything like it and i been going to concerts since the 70s!

[MetalHeart8787]

yeah mainly because of style Not for musicianship, I like slash to But he fit better with GNR, Just like how CC is better with Poison.

[sexpistols41]

yes, slash didn't want to wear make up

[ReneeNme]

No wonder FutureFederer23. CC is hands down a better technical player than Slash.

People may thumb me down for that comment now ask me if I care. I know I'm right that's what matters.

[camallen3615]
