THE C.C. IS FOR “COOL CHRIST”

Friday, August 1st, 2008 at 11:25am by Axl Rosenberg

Just when you thought he couldn’t possibly get anymore annoying, Bruce Anthony Johannesson, better known to the world as Guitar World’s “Worst Guitarist of All Time” C.C. DeVille, has apparently found Jesus. For an on-again/off-again coke head/junkie who a friend of mine once witnessed asking a girl “I know you… did I fuck you?”, that’s pretty phenomenal. Still, that’s the great thing about Judeo-Christian religions: it’s never too late to repent.

Gotta wonder what this means for the future of Poison, though. Will God take kindly to a man who makes his living playing songs like “Talk Dirty to Me,” and “Look What the Cat Dragged In” (which actually features the lyrics “Livin’ my life sin after sin“)?

While you ponder that, here’s the video for Poison’s “Unskinny Bop.” As you can tell just from watching the prologue, C.C. was religious when they made this clip, too – it’s just that back then, he was a Mormon.

    That’s the thing about Christianity, no matter how many things you say or do, and no matter how evil they are, God will except you if He chooses.

    Haha… God will “except” you. Nice one.

    I had hoped that from the time I hit the “Comment” button to the time the page opened I’d thought of something extremely witty and sarcastic to say. Apparently that didn’t happen.

    No, but they beat the crap out of his son. And barbequed him? or was that some other person in the video? Best music video of all time!

    It seems nowadays more and more metal musicians are turning to God. Pretty soon metal will be nothing but bands that sound like Stryper and The Devil Wears Prada.

    Wouldn’t everyone want to be a mormon if only they allowed drinking and birth control?

  10. Muttweiler says:

    No, Axl meant to say C.C. was a “MORON” back then…

  11. Cisco says:

    Why would anybody want to be Mormon?

  12. Damotello says:

    It’s all an exercise in futility on Deville’s part, he’ll burn in hell for being in the most appauling, agonisingly bad excuse for a band to have ever walked the earth, poison are the low point human history, and I for one am slightly embarrassed for even being the same species as them.
