Poison guitarist sentenced to jail

C.C. DeVille gets 80 days for DUI charge

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Poison guitarist C.C. DeVille was sentenced to 80 days in jail after pleading no contest to driving while intoxicated.

The 43-year-old rocker known for his over-the-top antics hit a parked vehicle August 24 while he was backing out of the driveway of his girlfriend's home, prosecutors said. He allegedly rammed another parked car, deploying his vehicle's air bags and injuring his girlfriend.

I have the best of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow on CD. I am close to wearing it out. I also have alot of early Whitesnake, they did some good stuff early on untill MTV got a hold of them.

Skid Row's actually not bad. And I'm kinda embarassed to admit it...but I owned a Cinderella album.

Now, GnR...first time I heard "Welcome to the Jungle," I was blown away. Then I bought "Appetite for Destruction" and was REALLY blown away. I'm no musician or music expert, but that album was abso-freaking-lutely incredible. It was the ultimate antidote to the Poisons of the world. You had those guys walking around with lip gloss trying to look like female porn stars, and then here comes GnR, almost the anti-glam, loud, ugly, no makeup, just balls-out metal. To somebody like me that knew nothing about any sort of big-city music scene, they were great.

Then they started believing their own press, and got pretentious, and Axl went nutbar, and they jumped the shark. And then we got grunge, and grunge begat the five thousand identical-sounding Nickelback/Staind clone bands on the radio nowadays. But that one magical GnR album...whoa Nellie. I never was a STP fan, but I admit that I like hearing Velvet Revolver songs on the radio, just to hear Slash and Duff.

Of course, I had musical whiplash in college 20 years ago. In the room on one side of mine were two guys who preferred either REM (the white guy) or DC call-and-response go-go music (the black guy, and talk about feeding your cowbell fever). On the other side the occupants preferred pre-Phil Collins Genesis, and Black Flag/Dead Kennedys punk.

Brett was a hottie back in the day.

Now he does that sporting a bandanna to cover the hair loss trick. Blech.

...Def Leppard, which were The Archies of the 80's with Marshalls.

... you should definately check out early Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow (with Dio on vocals). Although Zep was more eclectic, Rainbow was unapproachable as a kick-ass prog-rock band.

Rising, On Stage, and Long Live Rock 'n' Roll, along with the eponymously titled first record are the ones to get."

Big Dittoes on that

Thanks. Thank God the Hair-Metal usurpation and the alt-rock dumb-down didn't wipe all of us out. I didn't think many would have even heard of Rainbow around here.

Hey, Sean327. We also play the live Rainbow version of Mistreated, Black Night, and Perfect Strangers. I play more like Ritchie than anybody else I grew up on. BTW, if you're going to wear out Greatest Hits, don't replace it (I boss people around because they don't know where I live). You should really get On Stage. The Catch the Rainbow on there is nine minutes longer than the studio one you have, and it is brutally heavy. Gotta love a band that can improvise!

Ugghhh... that album. They tried a little too hard to go mainstream on that one. A little too much like this in style and other obvious ways.

I HATE KISS BTW.

I have a Live version of "Stargazer" from a concert in Germany. My god, the Man in Black was on his game that night.

Guitar Magazine had the 100 heaviest Riffs in Rock a while back. They listed "Smoke on the Water" (Duh) and "Man on the Silver Mountain" for Ritchie

They seemed to forget "Stargazer", "Burn" and a few others.

This will make you envious: I have a whole concert on video from Germany in 1977. LLRnR Tour. You're right about Stargazer live.

Without explicitly condoning illegal activities, I have to admit to a certain nostalgia over the time when I was first learning to play, sitting around with friends, smoking (censored) and being transported away by things like Stargazer, Tarot Woman, Gates of Babylon, the live Still I'm Sad, Rainbow Eyes and such. Zeppelin too. BIG TIME. Ahhh, well. At least the art form managed to produce Poison and Warrant. Sigh......

I love Dio. The man is amazing.

What amazes me is how old that dude is! He was born in 1942 which makes him 63!!

He was already in his early 40s when Holy Diver was released...

I can dig Cinderella! Their first album was great if you can forgive the horrific album cover.

A classic example of what happens when you let your girlfriend dress you.

Wow. I could be jumping around up there for 20 more years and not be as old as Dio is now.

This is a hopeful development!

(I am not getting hair-plugs. No way.)

Marillion

Good taste; also you might want to check out Barclay James Harvest, Alan Parsons Project, Jean Michel Jarre. You might find them interesting.
