C.C. Deville is the current lead guitarist of the 37 year old hard rock band Poison. He was chosen by Poison as a replacement for Matt Smith as the band’s lead guitarist. Eventually, DeVille was fired by the band in 1991, but returned in 1996 to replace Blues Saracino as the band’s lead guitarist. DeVille didn’t sing lead vocals for the band until “I Hate Every Bone In Your Body But Mine”.
He was also in a band he founded himself, Samantha 7, in 1998. The band only produced one album and went on hiatus in 2004 as DeVille went back on the road with Poison. A second album was supposed to have been produced, but never was.
