- My dad and I have a long-standing argument about who’s the better guitarist: Slash or C.C. DeVille? The answer is obviously Slash, so I put together a compilation of some of their guitar solos from their respective bands, Guns N’ Roses and Poison in order to prove that I’m right. Enjoy, and be sure to let me know who you think is better! I might do more of these comparisons, so if you have any particular ones you want to see, let me know :)
PS: The quality is bad, I know. It must have gotten messed up when it was posted. I’m sorry!

I don't think you can compare them. Totally different styles and right for the bands they play in. CC is one of the most underrated guitar players out there.
The chemistry of both bands are amazing that I can say is true.But overall cc DeVille stands out above and beyond any of them I think he's that special of a guitar player.
Really you cannot compare any guitarists. They all have their unique way of playing. Which is what we grew up with, Listened too and brought us great songs. Eddie Van Halen, Angus Young, Chuck Berry, Randy Rhoads ♥ (died too young) and all the other guitarists. You all have a special place that gave us rock. Cheers to you all.. Rock will never DIE!!!
Slash 50% talent 50% fame CC DeVille 90% talent 10% fame
Well not really. GnR plays really similar stuff to Poison. I mean, sure, they happen to be more bluesy than Poison, but both bands have this L.A. glam sound. Plush Slash and CC have very similar guitar tones, if not the same guitar tone.
You can compare them, Slash was almost in the band Poison. Prior to becoming a member of GNR he auditioned for Poison, along with CC DeVille, making down to the last two. Well we all know who Poison chose as guitarist and the rest they say is history.
I love slash, but there is something very beautifully strange and mesmerizing about C.C that's why he will always be my number one
Life goes on is poison’s masterpiece.
Agree but again CC butchered the solo on Swallow this live ...shame his playing was SO sloppy live
Life goes on is one of my top 10 solos EVER......and Slash is far superior... but Life Goes On wow
Gotta go with ride the wind for me.
@@Glennmetcalfe that’s just cuz he had no clue where he was from all the coke
Life goes on é insana. Não acho que slash tenha algo daquele nível. Ainda que ótimo, naquele som específico, c c estava inspirado
I don't know who is better but CC Deville is definitely one of the most underrated guitarists of the eighties.
His studio work is phenomenal. He gets pretty wild live but nobody can deny how great his playing is. The album Flesh and Blood is some of his best work.
I think CC talent didn't shine through as much for what ever reason wrong producer .Because that first album Evan though it sold great numbers .It was made on the down cheap .And the producer was well known for getting band with out alote of studio experience finish there albums on time and under budget so there was problem not a lot of time spent on his parts .Play it lay down move on and it still a bad ass recorded.
Truth be told, CC and Slash both auditioned for the Poison gig which obviously CC ended up winning. Doesn't mean he was necessarily better, but just a better fit for their style of music.....and he wasn't afraid to put the make up on which I think Slash struggled with. Regardless, it would be interesting to hear all the Poison songs with Slash on guitar and the Guns songs with CC
CC is the kid in all of us, he plays with fun and passion, all over the place and bright. His playing is amazing and a highlight of the 80s style of guitar. Slash is more the older us, more tame and slower but still can get the job done. Both are amazing in their own way.
Aye Sparky I agree with you 100% :)
He plays very light gauge srings
I was listening to their music since my teens but I didn't think nothing of it.But I got deep into guitar music I think cc is up there with the greatest .
Slash in "Anastasia" is so far from being tame and slower...
All lies.
Both are super talented. I love both bands. I think I like CC's solos better. The distortion he used, along with his style, are the purest of all the bands... with the possible exception being Pink Floyd.
C.C. kicks ass!!!!💥🍿
CCDeville is my all-time favorite guitar player, I get the most joy hearing him play, i understand there is a " better " guitarist out there, but for me, CC Deville is who makes me go " Fuck yea" every time.
C C !! I have never understood why people don't see just how good a guitarist he is.
Ha, there are so many people on these threads saying that. I think lots of people love his guitaring, just the music magazines don't, is all. I do!
C.C by far 🎸💗
First one isn't "better" than the other, they're so completely different in their styles and abilities. CC can play anything. He's a heck of a player. But that being said, he also knows what the Poison fans want from him and he delivers exactly that.
C.C.Deville!
Oh yeah some of his guitar work blows my mind.
CC de Ville rules!
Poison LIFE GOES ON solo is the best solo of all time so.... CC Wins...
Yep didn't see that in there...unbiased lol... ps i love GNR more than Poison but your dad is right...about CC, and boys.... and everything haha
Vendetta Australia Believe me, I wanted to add Life Goes On but I didn’t know what to compare it to! You guys are completely right, it’s a legendary solo but I don’t think I’d place it at number 1 for me personally
Personally I disagree, as good as it is idk if it’s the greatest and in my opinion slash is just a monster when it comes to guitar and making it sound so perfect
I'll agree with that . he'll cc is no joke that guy is good. Everyone knows slash is amazing and he is when guitarist are on this level there's really no comparison just greatness on both sides.
Great debate, I really love play dirty solo. It’s one of them solos I just keep rewinding over and over lol
CC killed it back in the day. Love the tone!!!! Bad Ass!!! 👍🏻
C.C by far
C.C , hands down dude but his soul into it , distortion or not he and the guitar were ONE (1)
Lifes goes on , the best solo of CC
And there you have it! Totally agree! Best.
one of the best of him
CC spent more time out of the pentatonic box which makes his solos more interesting.
Cc takes the cake
Heavy and emotional should have been Life goes on for CC that's his all time best solo by far
CC for President!
C.C. for the win......
CC more thechnique, more creative and spectacular solos... both great riff creators 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Obviously u dont play guitar
@@stephenmacdonald912 I've been playing since 83 and I agree with the original statement.. Slash is cool, sits back in that pocket and his stuff is all blues based. CC, he stands out way more, blues, rockabilly, some jazz and even classical influences in his style of playing. He has more tricks and techniques in his bag than Slash. However, for what slash does, he's obviously great, but I prefer CC's solo's over Slash's
cc is a monster is delicate in slow rythm and very virtuous in velocity
Life Goes on the Best all the time...CC WIN
CC Deville for me!!!!
I will take CC on this one !
CC pours more heart and soul into his solos.
Are you sure of it? Slash is one of the most emotional guitarist ever. He's more than a shredder, he's pure feeling.
Nope. So much nope.
@@TemplarShad0w In Life goes on, c.c made The guitar cry, Its insane, maybe only in november rain slash did Something similar ...
And look, i dont even know The complete career of c c...
CC is best
In '88 Sweet Child O' Mine changed my life forever. Then Poison became my favorite band for a reason: C.C. DeVille
Name your top 7 poison songs?
@@Odembackrd fallen angel, love on the rocks, livin for the minute, I wont forget you, back to the rockin horse, rock n roll all nite (kiss cover), ride the wind
not a fan of poison, but a fan of CC, I actually like CC better personally, a lot of people don't know Slash was almost Poison's guitarist. he had the gig but turned it down when they started talking about hair shoes and makeup he was not going to conform to the "feminine" look, which is great because now we have CC and Slash
He lost the audition to CC because of his non glam look
@@johnfitzgerald1957 he didn't lose it, he turned it down he had it, but he wasnt going to do the glam look, he kinda ehh, but he was worried about them being looks over the music. and yea he didn't want to dress like a chick either
That's no true, he wear make up when Guns N Roses were a Glam band. And Slash played in London (The same band that Nikki Sixx and Blackie Lawless played) another Glam Metal band.
@@TemplarShad0w Ya, but Slash said he didn't want to do it again. He said alittle glam was ok, like early GnR and London...BUT Poison was too over the top w/ makeup as in cover of Look What Cat Dragged In.
Slash did not turn it down, they choose Cc.
Cc is truly highly underrated Guitarist .. slash was way too famous n one man show but surely can never forget Cc's emotional solos which had huge impact for Poison's tunes..
I agree CC is criminally underrated but Slash wasn't a one man show he played guitar behind the most famous singer of the 90's also he played with one of the best rhythm players ever Izzy people don't understand how important Izzy was to Guns he wrote a huge amount of their songs!!
CC all day
Love his guitar playing. He made Poison and the 80’s guitar hero. Slash is great but I’d rather have CC in my band rather than Slash….and Steven Adler on the drums.
Los dos son fantásticos pero CC es una locura!
C.C. #1
CC DeVille!!! for me
CC Deville!
I gotta give to my guitar hero The Brooklyn Axe Master CC Deville!
CC is my fave between these two.
CC!
Cc by... Far, pure fun and sick solos
CC still my personal favorite, but still enjoy the video!
cc deville
CC DEVILLE 💖
Like both but prefer C.C.... love his tone and style. He’s just a fun player and underrated as well
CC plays Joyfully
definitely a cc person here. I like his spontaneousness.
Both legends!!
I like both of them. Have listened to both since they came out. I have seen both live. I now listen to Poison more than GNR. I would also rather see poison live than GNR.
BOTH AWSOME AT WHAT THEY DO AND SUPER TALENTED. AND STILL ROCKING
Cc le pasa el trapo a.slash !!!cc best guitar to far 🇦🇷💪
I love them both and I'm glad they're both still touring and becoming better musicians.
I totally agree. They both have stood the test of time and are truly amazing musicians in every way
C.C Deville es mucho más versátil que Slash. Para mi no hay comparación, gana por lejos C.C. Deville!!
Although I love gnr. Cc better in comparison....he's just more fun
It’s a difficult thing to compare consider the vast difference stylistically. Personally I prefer Slash’s playing style, I think it’s more emotional & more memorable. His solo’s were David Gilmour/vocal like, but I’ll admit he worked out of the pentatonic scale quite a bit. C.C. was more exotic & is more technically proficient as his sweeping/tapping/string skipping etc, is superior to Slash, but he was also sloppy at times. His solo in “Life Goes On” is one of the great solos ever. I’d still take Slash if I was starting a band though...
Nothing at all wrong with the Pentatonic. Some of the greatest solos of all time were almost strictly pentatonic.
Both are darn good. They both are under rated and that is ashame. I'm fan of both of those guys 😊
The Battle of American Rock Guitar Players
Great vid. Both awesome guitarists \m/
CC pulled double duty as BOTH rythmn and lead and is amazing in both positions. plus he can sweep pick, slash is not the greatest at that.
Love slash solos but as a “Number 1 poison fan “i prefer cc ‘s solos 🤘🏼🦹♂️🎸 ...
These are my 2 favorite guitarist. Can’t compare the two. They are BOTH AMAZING MUSICIANS PERIOD. Glad to have grown up with these two ROCKING AND ROLLING the soundtrack to my youth. DEFINITELY better than anything going these days. TAKE ME BACK TO YESTERDAY
Both fantastic guitar players... I actually had the opportunity to hang out with C.C. and Steve Lukather (Toto) and C.C. was surprisingly humble enough to say to me.... "Anything I can play, he can play with his toes!" C.C. is also one of the funniest bastids out there! There is a reason Sam Kinison loved hanging out with him! (I met Sam as well... God they were hilarious together!)
Poison is scumbags
i play guitar, but i dont really understand the science behind it. But to my ear, CC riffs and solo is more fun and emotional to me.
Very underrated guitarist. Glad he's still touring.
Victory & Win for C.C.DeVille.
what 😂😂😂😂oh yeah, if you like dumb music
November rains solos and life goes on solo are both in my top two but I personally like ccs solo better and I don’t see how it’s not considered the best
Completely two different genre ..bt still I would go for C.C because I love poison ...Slash has his own style..👍
I've always loved both these guys. Slash is a very soulful player that tugs at your heartstrings, but I think CC has a sort of more dynamic, charisma when it comes to just plain fun songs. I think they each have their strengths we love them for. From a technical standpoint, my Dad (who plays several stringed instruments) tells me they're both sloppy :/
I would've compared "I Won't Forget You" to "November Rain".
I agree, they’re both amazing at what they do, but I do tend to lean more towards the guitarists who play their feelings into the guitar. And you’re right, November rain would’ve been a great comparison to I Won’t Forget You, but I couldn’t resist putting the Estranged solo in here somewhere. I like it too much! ;)
Slash for soul cc for energy bc he s not shy
CC DeVille all the way
Slash is a great guitar player but c c is a extra ordinary one
Really tough man...CC DeVille was the child in all of us, and his solos were memorable. Slash, had swag, and the swag showed in his guitar playing..Let's put it this way..They were the best at putting their personalities through the strings of their instruments. They never tried to be anyone else but themselves..
C.c. devile #1
I am fan of both and they are perfect for the bands they are in. The 80s had some talented musicians. Glad they still tour. Got to see C C live last month. His solo was amazing.
Ironically, it’s these two guitarists that got me into playing guitar. Not that I have anywhere near the talent that either of them have, but I’d say my style is more like Slash’s. Much love and respect for them both. Agree with comments here about Life Goes On solo being CC’s best, but he has a lot of great solos. Every Rose’s solo is just an absolute soulful solo and fits so perfectly with the song. And Estranged is among my favorite guitar work from Slash.
I started playing in 1988, and these two are still among my favs. This is coming from a huge Yngwie fan.
CC had Floyd Rose n uses it a lot, Slash had Izzy Stradlin.
You guys know that Slash tried out for Poison, right? After Matt quit and moved back home. He got the gig but Rikki said fix your hair and change your look. Slash went back to Guns. This was '84 or '85. Read his book. I like CC. Both are pentatonic minor players.
Slash plays a lot of of other scales as well, and cece does when he gets into his fast pull off stuff. More straight minor scales not just pentatonic. Plus every rock guitarist bases their solos off the pentatonic, it’s only when they are flying that they don’t even use the scales but more of their workouts. Van Halen is notorious for not using scales. As long as you hit the base not you are going for you can pull it off.
C.C all the way.
Slash’s solo are where harder to play, but cece is really crisp and clean. The difference between a blues based player vs a glam band guy. Both very good. Cece did this solo on their live cd back in the day was really good
Sweet Child O' Mine is the best solo
I love both , I learned guitar playing both. I like Slash better but I still play cc, is easier to play than slash . Cc is cleaner each note can be 👂so it can be played. A solo like coma or paradise city are really hard to follow personal opinion. But love the musicality of cc in life goes on every rose has its thorn
I love coma
Guns n roses was better than poison, but poison s songs touch my feelings and that s because CC solos 👍🏻.
G n R a few good songs
Poison every song is a good song.
I like CC deville sound guitar
Fun Fact: Slash tried out to be in Poison. He destroyed all of the song no problem, but didn't get the part because he refused to where the clothes. He passed C.C. on his way out and said, "You're gonna be the one man."
CC
I think what makes a lot of CC's solo's fun, energetic and interesting is he uses a lot of old school rockabilly stuff in his solo's. Something Slash doesn't give us, Slash to me is a chill guitarist that kind sits back in the pocket and is very blues based with his solos. CC in one solo can have rockabilly, blues, jazz and EVH type tapping/techniques. And it all comes together in a really cool melodic fun solo that works.
Example: Poor Boy Blues solo
CC is the most underated guitar player of all time.
I think they are both totally different but no doubt they are both great guitar players! I love them both and appreciate all the great music they've created through most of my life
musically I don't know who is better... but I suit and prefer CC
Slash plays Soulfully
CC Deville is dynamic all over .
Ambos son tremendos guitarristas pero a mi me gusta mas como suena cc de ville, saludos rocanroll !!
Skill at CC Deville, Soul at Slash. But i think slash is more signature, thats why he become a legend.
Slash is a “lick” style player and C.C is a scales style player. Both are great and completely different styles of guitar masters!
C.c.Deville is the best, second place for Slash because Slash tried out to be in Poison , if I'm not mistaken.
Cc Deville lo han menos preciado por no estar en el ambito permanente como Slash.
Cc is underrated because of being in a glam band. I love poison but cc could've fronted any band he wanted. Hes an amazing guitarist and this comes from a Randy Rhoads fanatic...
I'm kinda biased, as I've met and hung out with CC numerous times when I was a kid.
He used to come over for.thanksgiving at my aunts house if you can believe that.
But, if you want to talk some of the best guitarists in the music business, you might want to turn on some country...
Are you serious county music is so easy I teach my first year players that.
A Yard depends bro, country music has some of the best guitarist out there
I pitch and write country songs. Pasley is the Cc of country. Meaning they are both some of the best.
Cc is my favorite guitarist of all time, I would love to jam with that dude.
Cool story about thanksgiving..
CC for me, I love the tone he gets. That solo in I Won't Forget You is the sweetest solo ever, I wish it was longer. But because he was always too high he didn't reproduce the album solos live, he'd just shred in key and it was pretty bad, so Slash is probably better live. You also didn't include Velvet Revolver. Slash is better on those songs I think, Fall To Pieces, Slither, Gravedancer, Loving The Alien, he was still improving. Anyway thanks for putting this video together. 🙂
(P.S. Your Dad wins!! CC Deville forever!! 🙂)
I’ll just have to keep my dad from seeing this comment 🤭 thank you for the kind words! 😊
@@kaitlyndeaner8293 You know I hadn't heard some of those songs, you introduced me to 'I Won't Forget You', so definitely thank you. Slash is fantastic, it doesn't matter who's better. On Gravedancer, I can hear that he'd been listening to Joe Satriani, it has some of that feel. The solo on Fall To Pieces is beautiful. They are both great. 🤩
Both amazing guitarist, CC plays with more feeling, Slash for that old school rock sound
Slash
They are both great guitarist, but like Billy Duffy, CC was under rated! I am just glad I was a teenager when all this wonderful music was born!
