I was lucky enough to meet CC about ten years ago after a show. He was in the bus area, just him and his lady, so I was able to talk with him for a few minutes. He was so gracious and cool with me and that always stayed with me. He could have blown me off, but he took time to have a chat with me for a few minutes. Thanks CC for that moment!
I nearly cried (well, actually I DID shed a tear or two) while watching this and the other parts of this interview. I’m so glad that C.C. has found God and gotten his life on track. He has a great testimony, and he has the potential to change countless lives just by sharing that testimony. C.C., I hope you’re still happy and doing well. I’d give anything to be able to sit down and talk to you.
Its soo unfortunate but let me be the first and only person to second that...This is God at work in his life...I hope he is doing well and being a witness to others along with his enormous testimony to share....When you see God working in someones heart, it is unmistakable.
CC is truly an inspiration. Love his guitar playing but love his down to earth and healthy attitude tword everone. Fame is hard to handle but he fell and recovered. All the best CC.
CC we never stop learning. You have the gift of artistry through music. That will stay with u forever. Keep your mind open. As we age we need to keep educating ourselves about whatever makes us tick
The words cc has spoken are so very true it is a privilege to live life ,you when you do stupid things in there always bad things that follow of you life and do good things it's a privilege because only you can control your life no one but you can make the right things happen very well spoken mr. cc deville
CC has now learned the essence of life. Good, at least it 's not too late.Remember 3 things that is important in life, your God your Family and your Job. Whatever you want to put first in priority, but you have to have these three to be happy.Many may not agree but it's true. thanks for sharing CC with us.
C.C. (Bruce) is a great musician. Love what he did and still does musically. Good to see and hear he is off drugs and stuff and now more down to earth as ever. He's got a talent and great gift. 👍🤘
C.C. paid his dues before and on the Strip, got a record deal and co-wrote successful music, He and the rest of Poison had everyone's attention in the 80's, whether good or bad. I'd say he's a Legend.
Met CC in Glasgow in 2001 while he was playing with Samantha 7 supporting Great White. He Signed a few cds. Great gig. Shame Poison haven't been back to the UK since 1993. Keep rockin CC.
That road to excess doesn't need explaining. I tell you, when I was 20 years old, if I'd been in a rock band that was just breaking onto the scene, I'd have taken *everything* that was on offer and more!! The 80's was a wild enough time for those of us that were young back then and just watching. To have been in a succeeding rock band, damn that must have been one hell of a ride!!
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!
Man alive!!! Did he turn his life around!!! I guess sobriety really saved his life!!! I know he wasn't the greatest lead guitarist to come out of the 80s, but he was in and still is in a huge successful and popular band!!! That being "POISON"!!! I still hear "Rose has its Thorn" , "Talk Dirty to Me", and "Nothing but a Good Time" on the radio!!! ☺☺☺😁😁😁 I always liked C.C.'s showmanship and stage presence!!!!☺😋☺😋😊☺😊
This goes back to that old saying "If you are young and not liberal, then you have no heart; but if you are old and not conservative, then you have no brain,". Even CC is feeling this now in his older age and that shows that he now has some brains. He still has a little ways to go tho I think but he's doing quite nicely in my book.
Saw Poison ( minus Bret) in Blue Island at a charity soft ball game in 1990 I think. My dad walked past their bus heading back to car after dropping me off and they were coming out of the boss and said Hi to him and talked to him. End of the night I get back in the car dad asks whose the crazy guy in the viking hat? I say " C.C?", he says yeah, I met him. They talked about his hat,lol. Thank you C.C., Rikki, Bobby for bring cool to my dad!!! R.i.P. Dad!
One of the reasons why I picked up a guitar.. I even have a Ibanez RG 570 in Jewel Blue because it just looked so good on stage in this guys hands live... Flesh & Blood tour. to me it was more iconic than his Bc Rich guitars for some reason
How cool is that.Im dn that rd now.But im recognizing where im at now.This interview helps all.T.Y. C.C.You shade a bit of light for me.Time to get up and start another band.
He definitly wasn't a great player, but he had a knack for writing real basic guitar riffs that just stood out from all the complicated stuff that was on the radio in those days.
you notice how soon he goes from calm temper to loud talking with eyes spread open?...i guess that's what drugs and alcohol can do to you,something that will stay with you even when you got sober and out of it...c'mon CC DeVille,you re still a kickin ass guitar hero!
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
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.
I love CC's humility and gratitude in this interview. I'm so glad he landed in a good place.

Met Poison back in ‘99 after their show on their reunion tour. CC literally just chilled with the fans and talked. So down to Earth! Love him!
Gotta love Lil CC

I love this! It’s so encouraging to see this and how the Lord can work in someone. I’m so happy for CC. Way to go brother!
Poison is a Great Band and CC was an integral part of that formula.

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!
Classy guy, I appreciate his honesty and sincerety as a musician.

...he's cool..he's learned from his ups and downs in his own way..like all of us..
Good man right here !!! God bless CC Deville !!!
I met CC once...was so cool and gracious. Awesum guy.
I'm glad he is killing it in 2022 on the Stadium Tour.
wow if god can change cc n have a profound effect on him god can change anyone if they seek him n let him do his thing n form a bond with him
I agree with CC: I met Les Paul 10 months before he died and he was absolutely the most humble, sweetest guy.
C.C. (Bruce) is a great musician. Love what he did and still does musically. Good to see and hear he is off drugs and stuff and now more down to earth as ever. He's got a talent and great gift. 👍🤘
The years have been good to him CC has turned in a very good person much respect to you CC
There's no substitute for age and experience... Great to see that CC made it out to the other side.
C.C. paid his dues before and on the Strip, got a record deal and co-wrote successful music, He and the rest of Poison had everyone's attention in the 80's, whether good or bad. I'd say he's a Legend.
So glad CC is clean, killing it on guitar and is a great family person and a good dude in general. I love him!! 🤘
My goodness he is 100% beautiful inside and out
Praise the Lord CC
He's always been a cool guy. I'm so happy for him that he got it together.
Seems like decent & thoughtful dude.
Met CC in Glasgow in 2001 while he was playing with Samantha 7 supporting Great White. He Signed a few cds. Great gig. Shame Poison haven't been back to the UK since 1993. Keep rockin CC.

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!

Silly saying. I"ve been liberal my entire life, its the only philosophy that isn't a cold dead fish.
Wow how humbling he become
he is a motivation, hit rock bottom and came back up.
love cc awesome words of wisdom
great musician, underrated

Nice guy, always upbeat.
I play guitar because of this man along with Angus Young.
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.

I think he makes sense, as a human being and not another rock star! I like that that.
I agree.

R.I.P Les Paul
One of the reasons why I picked up a guitar.. I even have a Ibanez RG 570 in Jewel Blue because it just looked so good on stage in this guys hands live... Flesh & Blood tour. to me it was more iconic than his Bc Rich guitars for some reason
It blows my mind that this man still has a nose. Legend
I couldn't stand Poison .
But C.C sounds like a cool person . Respect.
How cool is that.Im dn that rd now.But im recognizing where im at now.This interview helps all.T.Y. C.C.You shade a bit of light for me.Time to get up and start another band.
Dude can play
He definitly wasn't a great player, but he had a knack for writing real basic guitar riffs that just
stood out from all the complicated stuff that was on the radio in those days.
lgwelsh1 he had some really good solos though with some tricky licks
Wise words.
seems like a cool guy...
you notice how soon he goes from calm temper to loud talking with eyes spread open?...i guess that's what drugs and alcohol can do to you,something that will stay with you even when you got sober and out of it...c'mon CC DeVille,you re still a kickin ass guitar hero!
Him and David Lee Roth would be an extremely fun interview.
nice chap he seems
Wow, CC DeVille looks so normal here.
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
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.
Got to see them in 1986?? Rat Poison tour. They blew Ratt out of the water
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
I'm a drummer but it applies across the board rock on brother
@bigeherb Yes, it's his real hair
sounds like he found A Course in Miracles.
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.
cc was super messed up ,thank goodness he's gotten better, he was on his way to the grave!

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