CC DeVille - best 80s guitarist.

Definitely not the best IMO but he is a very good guitar player.. he gets a bad rap for being in Poison but he is a very good guitar player.. Shouldve done some solo stuff

He is good but I don't rank him as the best. I feel there are a lot better choices.

When I made my first reply, left toooooooooo much stuff out. I have never owned a Poison release. Their music does little for me. Having said that, I have seen them live either 5 and 6 times. Sorry I can't be more specific. One time, I went to their show but can't remember when I passed out.
Having said that, CC was/is a very "fun" guitarist. He was very fun to watch and played his solos like they sound on disc......... plus more. Stylistically, he is far from my "cup of tea" but I would be less of a rock/metal fan NOT seeing Poison live. They were simply a "fun and energetic rock band" in my eyes and ears.
