Many years ago I met C.C. and the band at Shades in London, and C.C. asked me for a copy of a live photograph I had of him. I sent it to him and a few months later I came home from work to find he had sent me a handwritten letter to thank me for it. I was and still am blown away he took the time to do that, something I'll never forget, what a star..
And now it's 20 years later and I'm headed to see him again in concert, tonight!! Love this man so much and I am so thankful he's clean and doing great!!!💖💖💖💖
I met him two weeks ago. SUPER appreciative of his fans! I asked him to sign something 3 different times and I said, sorry if I'm bothering you. He said, "This is what I do. If you guys weren't here I wouldn't have a reason to leave the house." I said I've been a fan for 35 years, he looked me in the eyes and said, "God bless you."
All I know is, there was a time when Poison reigned supreme on FM radio and MTV, and it was an absolutely magical time! Open Up And Say Ahh was the first album I ever bought, and it sparked in me a love affair with hard rock and heavy metal that's still as strong as ever! I also credit C.C. with rekindling my interest in playing guitar after putting it down for about 4 years, so that's a nice bonus! Poison absolutely was part of the soundtrack of my youth, and for that reason, will always have a special place in my heart, mind and soul. God bless C.C., Bret, Rikki and Bobby, and may they continue to tour and make great music for years to come!
Open Up And Say Ahh was an album I got for Christmas and I Iearned how to play every single song on guitar on the album I got that album on cassette tape and a walkman for Christmas in 1990 but in January of 1991 I had to have open heart surgery and I took that cassette tape and my walkman with me to the hospital and I was in this little "surgery consult room " and here came the nurse with the IV bag and needle so when she got to the room I was in I told my mom "hey mom hand me that walkman" she did and I hit play and Nothing But A Good Time started playing I was rocking out and I was just a kid but Poison made me not scared of IV needles anymore. And I pulled the headphones off and asked the nurse ARE YOU EVER GONNA STICK ME WITH THAT IV NEEDLE? She said I just did lets go to surgery The nurse told my mom "WE'LL TAKE REAL GOOD CARE OF HIM WHILE HE'S IN THE OPERATING ROOM WITH US" I said "ok let's go so we can get this done" That nurse told my mom "WE'RE GONNA HAVE HIM WITH US FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS HE'S GONNA BE JUST FINE" Let me just say it like it is OPEN HEART SURGERY FOR AN 8 YEAR OLD BOY SUCKS Yeah you read it right 8 years old and having open heart surgery .
CC its because of you and the song "Nothing But A Good Time" in 1988 I started playing guitar. I was 6 years old. I wish I could have a meet and greet with you and jam with you
Believe me, I was blown away as well. Happy he got his life together and is now rocking stadiums across the country! Thanks for your comments. Please like, subscribe & share to help grow this channel.
I wasn’t a Poison fan but I was a,ways a fan of CC deville’s guitar. He is a incredible player and seeing him healthy and happy is a nice change. We have seen so many of our 80’s Metal hero’s pass or still fighting addiction. 👍 way to go CC
Poison was my first Rock Concert. Saw them at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island with Warrant as the Opening act. I was so blown away by their Live performance I saw them a couple of handful of times Live ever since then. I know a lot of people say they are a girly band and suck blah blah blah but I say Hell No !! They are GREAT !! CC rips on Guitar. Rikki's Drum Solos kick ass !! Every time I saw them they Opened with Look What The Cat Dragged In and that happens to be my Favorite Song by them. But at the same time they have so many good songs to Jam to it's ridiculous. Poison is like the Ultimate Party Band and do a damn good job at it.
He found wisdom AND had a spiritual awakening, and both are needed to stay sober according to the AA Big Book. He has all of my respect. He’s done what most addicts and alcoholics don’t, which is to stay clean and sober for the long haul.
CC always looked like he was coming off a three-day coke binge. Glad he's sober now, but he still has that look. I saw them a couple of times back in the day. They opened for Roth on his Skyscraper tour, and Tesla opened for them the next year when Poison finally became headliners. CC's a baaaaaaad man.
Love CC! I am happy for him and I know he is in a better place. Grace is what i think of when I think of CC. Guitar player he is very talented. The solo on the stadium tour was awesome and tasteful. Just like his studio solo's.
Like he said the new fans that wasn’t even born back when Poison first came out, both my sons who are now 22 & fixing to be 21. I popped in a Poison cd one time and my sons have been listening to them ever since. I teach my sons right!!!💖💯
CC DeVille no matter what people say is a great commodity in poison..his character and song writing!!!!! Blue's and Richie were great...but the simplicity of his song writing!!!! Make fun all ya want...glad you're sober and in poison CC!!!!!!!
Was there. Poison blew Ratt away. All I remember about Ratt was that guitarist Robbin kept changing guitars. Brett was all over the stage during what short time they had as an opening act. Ratt should have opened for them, albeit Poison's first tour.
He was perfect for that band. He wasn’t a traditional shredder like so many hair bands had. Poison was glam; he had the poppy and melodic solos and riffs that they needed.
Here is a guy that really made the most out of getting himself sober....He truely got right with God and he is truely a really decent man in his heart and soul.
Wow I have been running for 40 years 5- 7 miles a day But I fell 6-8 ft have has 3 neck surgeries 2 back surgeries I was told I would never Run again But I m running again God is amazing The word never does not exist in my vocabulary
CC is a huuuuuge part of poison!!!!! I was a Wildman drummer drinking and blow...no more now it's weight training and eating like Floyd Mayweather ❣️❣️❣️⭐️💥
This guy is really cool huh? I'd love to hang out with him. Haven't played guitar in years, but gimmie 20min to loosen up and it'd be fun. Keep it up CC.
Hey, This message is for CC in particular, in response to this video and some of the things he said. First i would like to say, " cry tough" from 1986 is still one of my favorite songs, and i listen to it atleast 2 times a month. ( i have alot of favorite songs ) : p so i am a "fan' of the band.. BUT! I want to say in response to what you said about " being lucky"?? NO! You guys were not lucky! You all had a " LOOK", while its true every band in those day had a similar look, there were some unique differences among " that same look" and you guys had a unique look of your own. Infact, the chemistry, the look, the sound, Bretts voice ( not the best, but unique and cool ) You had your own unique style. And you were signed because you guys worked hard passing out those flyers all along the strip, and because alot of people in the area were into your look, sound, and style? YOU GOT A RECORD DEAL! ( keep in mind everyone, the record companies at that time were signing left and right because "hair bands and hair rock, as it was called were SELLING! records were selling, posters were selling, concerts were selling, cassettes were selling, and the "look" was selling.. IT was a very lucrative situation. So "poison" was a popular band at that time, on the sunset strip circuit, and they got a deal! It really had nothing to do with luck.. As for all the people that didnt make it? they didnt have "that something" that the ones that did make it had. For whatever reasons. There were also alot of "posers" putting bands together too! And maybe alot of the bands that didnt "make it" were giving off a phony vibe? I think its safer to say, poison was MEANT TO BE! Just like VAN HALEN was meant to be! Its had to be! ( not comparing with you cc with eddie, but you know what i mean ) I will say as a fellow guitarist myself, you had a cool sound, and you are a character! a unique person, and it showed and your light was shining! And that is a good thing.. NO ONE IS THE BEST GUITARIST! There are so many greats, and so many other people that are really good.. Its a personal thing. If someone is able to touch someone with their sound or style or phrasing? then that is great, and thats it.. the people who are born to do it? make it.. The ones that arent do not. Playing any instrument is an individual and personal experience. You cant try to sound or play like other people, because you really cant sound exactly like someone else anyway, and you shouldnt.. ITs your voice and your feelings, being expressed through your instrument. ( im speaking to everyone ) And you had your own voice on guitar CC, and it was cool! Im sure you inspired and influenced many kids to play guitar! same with rikki on drums. He had cool sound and style. When you think of 80s hair music? POISON will also be somewhere in the top 15 bands of that time period! ( I WAS THERE TOO ) IM STILL THERE IN FACT! AND I DONT WANT TO LEAVE! IN MY LIFETIME, SO FAR? THE 80s WERE THE BEST! AND I THINK, THE MOST EXCITING AND CREATIVE, TIME FOR MUSIC AND BANDS! THROUGHOUT ALL OF HISTORY! ( AND ALOT OF OTHER THINGS TOO !!! ) : / Check out a song by Eddie Money called: " i wanna go back" .. Congratulations on changing your lifestyle to a healthy lifestyle CC.. I hope you talk with JESUS and keep in touch with him everyday! Just as i do too! He is my best friend.. And he saved me from myself too! that is what he does, and why we all need him! He forgives us for our sins, ( ONLY if we are sorry and want forgiveness? ) And he saves us from ourselves! heals us, gives ups peace, joy, insight, perspective, guidance, direction, and so much more! ( lets not forget the best gift he offers us who want forgiveness and help to reconnect with God our father, SALVATION! ETERNAL LIFE! All the best for you, your family, and the other guys in the band.. And thank you all for the great music and the good times and memories! And one more thing! ITS NOT OVER, TIL ITS OVER! : ) Poison should be working on a new album! Call it: Poison " its not over, til its over"
C.C. Has been through a lot over the years and he admits he had such a bad addiction and was in such a bad place in his life to me that’s the first step to sobriety is admitting you have a problem and want to do something about it I love the fact they are all together again despite everything they have been through they were and are like a family they all started this young they love each other and at times hate each other but the most important lesson is that they have learned from each other it’s like being married to 3 other people and to still be able to do what you love and to have an audience especially with how horrible the music scene /industry bring how it is today I’m so proud of all of them over coming all the negative stuff to be able to still be here today to perform
Not a fan of poison but he seems happy and excited about kicking his problem, Stevie Ray Vaughan acted the same way when he sobered up, can’t imagine how tough that is to go through
Hi, I am working for a UK TV production company, and we are making a documentary on Poison. We would potentially be interested in utilising footage from this interview - is it possible we could discuss securing permission to include it?
@@Tom25873 please make the documentary. Poison and CC in particular deserve more coverage. I love CC he's, precious in the world of underrated musicians.
@@smkxodnwbwkdns8369 he's been harrassing me because he misunderstood a question i asked. he stalked me on my page and is leaving sexist and ageist comments everywhere. youtube has not removed them, despite the fact that he's been reported multiple times. there's something wrong with him mentally, i think.
@@Miriboheme I just reported his comment and account. It may take a while but eventually if he’s reported enough and the mods get around to looking at it, they will ban him and even blacklist him from making alt accounts. I would block/mute him.
Working out release endorphins I felt high doing bench press with friend mine. I heard running one major addiction. Cc was fav mine as teen I dye hair almost white and it was puffy and I was skateboard little in London
CC DeVille my name is Donnie and I'm a heroin addict myself I started using heroin 13 years old I struggled for many years. I from Baltimore City from the Westside and most of my friends they are dead now some of them kill themselves some of them from cancer themselves. My point is I know about being an addict I'm sick now with cirrhosis of the liver diabetes type 2, I have COPD rheumatoid arthritis in my spine. I'd have been shot I've been stabbed I overdosed a couple times I just want to say I am a big fan a poison and I always thought you was a great guitarists .please stay clean and prayed up. And although I've never saw poison I've always wanted to.i wish you and the band and your families nothing but love and happiness as well as success. I would love to see you all if you ever come and play at the Baltimore civic center.
I went into a vape shop and these girls around 18 years old we're listening to Poison on the shop speakers and I was shocked. I asked them how on earth they knew about Poison and they said they had heard it growing up from their mom and dad and they loved it. I couldn't relate to that because I hated it all the music my parents listened to 😂. At 18 there was no way people were going to walk into a shop I worked at and catch me listening to Lawrence Welk.
Rock and Roll continues to thrive. The Beatles are as popular as ever nearly 60 years later. Thanks for sharing the story. Please like, subscribe and share.
Good thing slash went with gnr and cc with poison both are amazing guitar players that took their own spotlights slash being bigger but cc is underrated.

He's far better than people acknowledge. His technique and sense of melody is there in perfect proportion.
For sure bonehead repetition technical playing can be learnt by anyone. But to have feel and melody Trump's all that everytime.
@@chris4087please don’t mention trump here.
Lol I know joke but geriatric Biden useless spineless man. Trump didn't run country into the ground like most wanted to happen. @@jeanluc1313
And now it's 20 years later and I'm headed to see him again in concert, tonight!!
Love this man so much and I am so thankful he's clean and doing great!!!💖💖💖💖

@Corey Bakers Entertainment Channel shut the fuck up cc was brilliant.
CC’s guitar playing style reminds me of someone dragging their fingernails down a blackboard
@Corey Bakers Entertainment Channel post some vids dude. Bless us with your unlimited talent…..
@Corey Bakers Entertainment Channel yea he is no virtuoso
I love these guys
Beast of a player and so happy he lived through his addiction. He looks great here and I'm happy for him.
Love this guy. He has such feeling in his solos and you can tell that he has a big heart.
I love you C.C. your the reason I got into music!
I can really appreciate the humility here from CC and his gratefulness for the fans. Good that the boys were able to get back together.
C.C., I love ya man. You were a god to the 12 year old me, and I can still rock out to my fav Poison songs!!!
C.C. has got his shit together and looks Great..Makes me happy to see this , I love his riffs..Great upload 👌

I was at that show omg I actually had to go to that show for my music class in high school and was graded on the performance lol
That was my first show too. Remember it like it was yesterday.
Amazing interview man, thanks so much for posting! big fan of CC.
This fella found wisdom. I give him credit !!! Good job gettin clean brother .
He found wisdom AND had a spiritual awakening, and both are needed to stay sober according to the AA Big Book. He has all of my respect. He’s done what most addicts and alcoholics don’t, which is to stay clean and sober for the long haul.
Great man to change his ways 🙏👍👍👍👍👍

The most overlooked man of rock
Mann this is awesome glad to hear cc has joined the running community , im a runner & i love it & also running the trails
It's never too late to make positive changes in your life. Good example here. Not too proud to admit he needed change. Nice going
He went to Julliard? Wow. My brother who died in 1986 is Bruce too. Happy for CC( Bruce).
This is cool. Gotta show appreciation as a fan before these guys are gone. Glad he’s healthier than me haha
Him and Phil Collen both! Dude is RIPPED
Glad that CC is finally happy, he is a hell of guitar player!
finally happy? This interview is 20 years old 😆
@@8Junio76 lol dam that's true... 🤦♂ maybe part 2 has a follow up? ...20 years later.. no...
I know this is an old interview but it shows you it's never too late to get it together. Cc sounds fantastic.
CC, YOU ARE TRULY A GREAT GUITARIST AND A WORKAHOLIC. I'M YOUR TRUE FAN AND I'M LEARNING A LOT FROM YOUR GUITAR PLAYING AS I WRITE THIS.
I'm so proud, of your new clean and sober life. Keep up the good work. I too am clean and sober. 15 years in January.
Awesome dude got is shit together blessings to you cc
CC is looking great. Really nice interview.
One of my absolutely favorite guitarist

SO happy for you CC....so glad you didn't check out earlier than you needed to brother.
Love C.C. He's a genuinely good dude. And one hell of a guitarist.
Love CC! I am happy for him and I know he is in a better place. Grace is what i think of when I think of CC. Guitar player he is very talented. The solo on the stadium tour was awesome and tasteful. Just like his studio solo's.
He joked about his playing not being good but he's great. He wrote some great stuff. He was good at his worst. It's good he's doing well.
One of my guitar heros of all time. 🤘

Great to see him clear and grounded. One of my first guitar heroes.
I saw them 29 years ago in Dallas. Just an extremely well tuned band. C.C. is very underrated.
HONEST/TRUTHFUL interview.. thank you for posting👍!
Thanks for posting
I saw Poison July 3rd, 1987 Ratt headlining. What a blast!
Me too in Kalamazoo MI. Great show
Was there. Poison blew Ratt away. All I remember about Ratt was that guitarist Robbin kept changing guitars. Brett was all over the stage during what short time they had as an opening act. Ratt should have opened for them, albeit Poison's first tour.
So humble to listen to. Four slightly talented guys with no education may be a situation ripe for swindling! Great line!!
My home town thay were at the decc great show
He was perfect for that band. He wasn’t a traditional shredder like so many hair bands had. Poison was glam; he had the poppy and melodic solos and riffs that they needed.
CC always had a comical and fun vibe. Unskinny bop solo is a classic 🎸
My favorite CC solo is the solo in the song Life Goes On
Here is a guy that really made the most out of getting himself sober....He truely got right with God and he is truely a really decent man in his heart and soul.
This is a talented and kind human being
Wow
I have been running for 40 years 5- 7 miles a day
But I fell 6-8 ft have has 3 neck surgeries 2 back surgeries
I was told I would never Run again
But I m running again God is amazing
The word never does not exist in my vocabulary
I LOVE CC!
Great guitarist and honest with it.
CC is a huuuuuge part of poison!!!!! I was a Wildman drummer drinking and blow...no more now it's weight training and eating like Floyd Mayweather ❣️❣️❣️⭐️💥
Cc is awesome and I love poison
Learning from his Life experience have him the wisdom

Not a fan of poison but he seems happy and excited about kicking his problem, Stevie Ray Vaughan acted the same way when he sobered up, can’t imagine how tough that is to go through
Meaning what about SRV? I don't get you.
@@rextonelectric6668 that he was excited when someone asked him about kicking his habit, he was proud of being sober
"first it was the house of whores... then it became the house of horrors!!!"
I swear from the thumbnail I thought it was Dennis from it's always Sunny wearing a wig
Ni Ritchie Kotzen, NI BLUES Saraceno pudieron hacer olvidar al Gran Guitarrista C.C. DEVILLE. en POISON!!!! 🤔 🎸 🎶 🔥
Stay Strong CC
What's up cc get back on stage I want to see a show like Kalamazoo poison and motley crew miss 80s ya
I remember jamming in Greg's house, he can play anything on Ovington in Bay Ridge.
Finally out of jail for crimes against guitar playing. It was a long sentence as the punishment fitted the crime.

Hi again, I have emailed the address you gave me to discuss this, but not heard back from you, so just wanted to check you received my email?
@@Tom25873 please make the documentary. Poison and CC in particular deserve more coverage.
I love CC he's, precious in the world of underrated musicians.
he seems like a reasonable and insightful man.
@Corey Bakers Entertainment Channel you’re harassing her now? You have serious issues. I would of asked the same question.
@@smkxodnwbwkdns8369 he's been harrassing me because he misunderstood a question i asked. he stalked me on my page and is leaving sexist and ageist comments everywhere. youtube has not removed them, despite the fact that he's been reported multiple times.
there's something wrong with him mentally, i think.
@@Miriboheme I just reported his comment and account. It may take a while but eventually if he’s reported enough and the mods get around to looking at it, they will ban him and even blacklist him from making alt accounts. I would block/mute him.
@@smkxodnwbwkdns8369 thank you!!!
If CC didn’t pick up that guitar and talked to you a lot of us would never be playing guitar. Glad to see he’s replacing coke with running.
When you got kicked out of band after mtv debacle, you played the best version of Talk Dirty To Me I ever heard. No joke.
Working out release endorphins I felt high doing bench press with friend mine. I heard running one major addiction.
Cc was fav mine as teen I dye hair almost white and it was puffy and I was skateboard little in London
This guy is really really cool. A Jersey boy?

I from Baltimore City from the Westside and most of my friends they are dead now some of them kill themselves some of them from cancer themselves. My point is I know about being an addict I'm sick now with cirrhosis of the liver diabetes type 2, I have COPD rheumatoid arthritis in my spine. I'd have been shot I've been stabbed I overdosed a couple times I just want to say I am a big fan a poison and I always thought you was a great guitarists .please stay clean and prayed up. And although I've never saw poison I've always wanted to.i wish you and the band and your families nothing but love and happiness as well as success. I would love to see you all if you ever come and play at the Baltimore civic center.
Hi Bruce!
CC I wanna know do you still play and endorse BC Rich guitars?
That's a pretty good question actually.
Omg
He's fine
I feel the same. Be careful for what u wish for… might come true ! lol
He looks like the bastard love child of Bobcat Goldthwait and Screech!!!
They wanted to shoot C.C. out of a cannon!! Good interview, he was always a good player.
I went into a vape shop and these girls around 18 years old we're listening to Poison on the shop speakers and I was shocked. I asked them how on earth they knew about Poison and they said they had heard it growing up from their mom and dad and they loved it. I couldn't relate to that because I hated it all the music my parents listened to 😂. At 18 there was no way people were going to walk into a shop I worked at and catch me listening to Lawrence Welk.
Rock and Roll continues to thrive. The Beatles are as popular as ever nearly 60 years later. Thanks for sharing the story. Please like, subscribe and share.
