Robbed |
Blabbermouth reports: Early Sunday morning
(Oct. 23), the home of POISON guitarist C.C. Deville was broken into. Many
guitars and several amplifiers were stolen from his private collection.
Arriving home from a personal business

Upon further inspection, an initial inventory showed that approximately
30 pieces of equipment had been taken from his house. Included on the list
are several vintage amplifiers and collectible guitars. Many of these are
recognizable to C.C.'s fans, as they have been used on stage by this talented
guitar player as well as featured in the numerous music videos he has appeared
in during his 20-year career. [see full story for more]-
