    AP: Guitar World Names 100 Worst Riffs, Solos

    [size=large]Guitar World Names 100 Worst Riffs, Solos[/size]

    Fri Oct 8,12:11 PM ET

    NEW YORK - He may be known for his over-the-top antics but Poison guitarist C.C. DeVille has another claim to fame: his "Guitar Solo" has been named the worst of all time by Guitar World magazine.

    The magazine selected the "100 Worst Riffs, Licks & Solos of All Time," identifying ones that are "lazy," "boring," "just plain stoopid," or "involve C.C. Deville."

    The list includes songs by David Bowie (news), Def Leppard, Metallica (news - web sites), Green Day, B.B. King, The Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Aerosmith (news - web sites) and The Strokes, among others. Many are guitar legends who simply had a bad night or bum note.

    Guitar World describes DeVille's nine-minute solo "completely devoid of taste, structure or steady tempo" and recommends every budding guitarist listen to it because "surely, they can't do any worse."

    DeVille was also cited for his "Cherry Pie" solo when he played with Warrant and Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn."

    The magazine recommends DeVille "take solace in the fact that he's in some rather good company."

    Rounding out the top 10: "Summertime Blues," Blue Cheer; "The Game of Love," Carlos Santana; Falstaff beer 1967 radio spot, Cream; "All You Need is Love," The Beatles; "Thirsty and Miserable," Black Flag; "Wango Tango," Ted Nugent; "Ain't Too Proud to Beg," Rolling Stones; "Sting of the Bumblebee," Manowar; and "American Woman," Lenny Kravitz.

    The list appears in the magazine's December issue.

    Apparently, C.C. had a "nine-minute solo."

    How can you not? You gotta have a heart for a few of those songs...

    I own many glam rock albums and I am DAMN proud of it.

    Just don't tell anyone.

    Did you know CC studied under Itzhak perlman?

    No you don't...not really Poison was one of those bands that everybody liked when they were popular, but when the inevitable backlash to hair metal finally happened in 1991, everybody kind of forgot that they did, or wouldn't admit it for fear of getting beaten. I actually liked a couple of their songs. "Nuthin but a good time," and "Talk dirty to me" were actually pretty decent pop-rock songs.

    I'm just really amused by the fact that CC Deville could create a solo that lasted 9 minutes.

    Hey Man, Whitesnake was bad *****! Their self-titled 1987 album, is one of the best albums of that era. How can you not like "Still of the Night." David Coverdale was/is a monster vocalist.

    Of course, Tawny Kitaen writhing on the hood of their cars sure didn't hurt.
