GUITAR WORLD NAMES 100 WORST RIFFS, SOLOS
NEW YORK - AP - 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, Def Leppard, Metallica, Green Day, B.B. King, The Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Aerosmith 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.

For a song they didn't even write. That's kind of lame. |

I love the live version of "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" that they did in'74. IORR was their weakest album up to that point. |

Worst? "Girls, girls, girls" by Motley Crue. The Cheeziest guitar riff ever maybe. It really is that bad. Among countless other cheezy cock-rock riffs. |

LOL at "Ain't too Proud to Beg" So out of 437 songs and counting they get the Stones on that one song LOL I can't see what was so bad about it to be honest.
What did they get David Bowie on I wonder??? Anyone know?
These lists are ridiculous. Music is such a subjective thing, like all time best actor/actress/ film etc etc/

The worst solo ever on some Stones' album is Shine A Light from Stripped. I skip this track when I hear the album. |

Will have to check that one out, the "solo" on Tie You Up is really terrible too! The Flip the Switch "riff" is rather poor too :-( |

I not agree on this, the solo on Tie You Up was pretty good and Flip The Switch kicked ass. The solo not was bad at all. |
