This guy is a force!!!! Came up as one of the popular guitar slingers of the day. But he’s so much more. Incredible songwriter and singer. His voice is sick. Just saw him last night and what you hear on the record is what you hear live. You’re crying Becusee it’s real music!!! Heart, soul and raw emotion.
I’ve watched that entire concert probably 10 11, 12 times? It just never gets old. No crazy light show or special effects, just three guys and their instruments. (Actually rented instruments, too expensive to fly a drum kit and amps over) Its one of the best rock shows ever recorded.
Kotzen is like a fusion between Chris Cornell(voice) Steve Vai(Virtuosism) and Prince (multiinstrumentalist), so creativity of those three. Even You can find in Ritchie SRV, Jeff Beck and so many musicians.I think RK is One of the most underrated artists today, I mean obviously he got so much recognition among his coleagues and music scene but he deserves billions of fans.
Richie Kotzen is the greatest talent I've been inspired by in all of music. I felt like I knew something that no one else knew when I first heard of him when I was listening to him. I'd crank his music loud with my boom box when I was in my youth. If people really dared listen to him especially his back catalog, they'd be blown away. Tilt, Greg Howe/Richie Kotzen project, Inner galactic fusion experience and even his self titled album really showcase this man's extraordinary ability. If you listen to those albums, you really might say to yourself, Has this man passed through some membrane of an alternate reality. Perhaps he has............perhaps he has.
I stumbled across Richie Kotzen we're looking for some new guitar stuff to watch and was blown away I cannot understand why I haven't heard from him before on mainstream radio he definitely deserves a spot at the top in both his vocals he can sing two different people high and low and he can play the hell out of the guitar along with the best
You have to check out Winery Dogs. Drummer is Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater); Kotson and the Great Billy Sheehan on bass. Incredible stuff. Kotson was in Poison for a short time when they axed their guitarist CC DeVille.
Went on a similar Richie Kotzen journey with my wife when I introduced him to her. Find the live version of Regret by The Winery Dogs for another great Richie Kotzen performance. More upbeat...showing his guitar playing, I'd recommend Fooled Again or 24 hours.
Agreed on Regret, especially the version from Unleashed in Japan. I think I’ve listened to that a thousand times. Richie is passion personified…..his live versions almost always surpass his studio endeavours.
@@AMusicianandaJerk I would recommend: -“Devil’s Hand” official video, from 50 for 50 album, 2020. -“Fear” live, 2015 Tokyo, (from the “Into the black” album 2006). “War Paint” 2015 Tokyo (The Essential Richie Kotzen, 2014) and for a change of pace, official video for “MEDS” live (from the “Salting Earth” album 2017.) I would also recommend The Winery Dogs: -“Time Machine” live, (Unleashed in Japan, 2013) -“The Dying” live, (Unleashed in Japan, 2013) Interesting note on this concert video. They had only rehearsed a handful of times, and the concert was only the third concert they ever performed. You would have no idea baseed on the quality of performance.

I don't know about trained himself to play without a pick, but I've dropped so many onstage, that I just said "fuck it" and started playing without one... it's very liberating
This is one of my favorite reactions we've done. Actually stay tuned, later this week we are doing a video talking about our favorite reactions we've done!
Fun Fact: Kotzen means in German to spit out things. We made this silly joke many times in the past, although he was great on the Shrapnel Records shredding LP and later on when becoming much more funky...
I like it when he uses a pick.. I play and have played for 45 years and it sounds better.. Too flabby when he doesn't use a pick if you ask me.. Just my two pence..

Amen
"50 for 50" is a Richie Kotzen experience like no other.
He's awesome...another similar savage guitar player/vocalist is Ian Thornly from Big Wreck. The dude is a monster
Desde chile apoyo reafirmó tu comentario analítico...es alma, fuerza y técnica..

Because America chose John Mayer, and kotzen was around way before him..even opened for the Rolling Stones, RK is the real deal
Best in the business
He is amazing
It doesn’t get much better that Ritchie 👍🏻👍🏻
IMO Richie Kotzen is THE most underrated artist EVER
Underrated for sure...he might be one of the best 8-10 guitarists alive.
Puede ser el más subestimado como mencionas..
@@MrClewis97U should say " in the history!".
I love this Richie song! I saw Richie in Aug of 2022 and I surprised myself, I found myself in tears to this song!!!
Check out Richie Kotzen early band called mother heads family reunion... I would call it high-energy Rock funk
She is Not a merk, she is a wonderful emotional woman ♥️♥️♥️♥️

The Winery Dogs! Yes! I have their 1st 2 CDs, and their third "III" is being released In February 2023. Can't Wait to get it!
También estuvo en un par de álbumes de Mr.big, en remplazo de Gilbert...dos excelentes discos .
It's nice to see that as rough an tough as she is, when you strip away all the armor, she wants to be loved!
Thank You
🙏🙏🙏🙏
🔥🔥🔥🔥

Can't wait for the new Winery Dogs, and more Jinjer from you, haha. Subbed of course!
Good on you, go ahead and cry. I cry, grin, laugh, sometimes all at the same time during this concert.
ustedes me hicieron llorar con su reacción también, yo amo esta canción y ha significado mucho para mi. cheers from Colombia
Tak, Richie Kotzen to geniusz! Jest świetny! Ma fanów na całym świecie!
Billy Sheehan actually pushed him when they were in the "Wintery Dogs" together to not use a pick...
💟Richie Kotzen
Awesome! I knew you and your girl would love it!
What else from him?

Pick any song, Richie is incapable of writing a bad song, IMHO
Tremendo musico y compositor 🎸🎶🎵🎼🎤❤
Let her listen to Regret, bro from Unleashed in Japan with The Winery Dogs.
I don't know about trained himself to play without a pick, but I've dropped so many onstage, that I just said "fuck it" and started playing without one... it's very liberating
Il nous donne des frissons.... Le con...!!! 🤩🤩🤗
I've seen this video so many times and Holy shit it's like the first fuckin time every time !!!!!
This is one of my favorite reactions we've done. Actually stay tuned, later this week we are doing a video talking about our favorite reactions we've done!
@@AMusicianandaJerk awesome 👌!!

It's not easy having a GF in love with Richie Kotzen.
Trust me,I know.
Aren't you?
So was the Poison drummer...🤕
👍
Mr. Kotzen 🤙
2nd to none..!!
You guys should really react to Soundgarden "Fell on black days" and Chris Cornell "Can't change me".
Dude stop comparing! Enjoy all for their music! Ritchie is better than them anyway! 🎸🎸🎸
@@richardewing8506 Who's comparing? It was a suggestion!
I like the Walmart Soundcheck version of Can't Change Me. Beautifully haunting, rip Chris
His girlfriend would choose Richie over him in a heartbeat.
Not my girlfriend but I can't blame anyone if they did that! Lol.
I like it when he uses a pick.. I play and have played for 45 years and it sounds better.. Too flabby when he doesn't use a pick if you ask me.. Just my two pence..
God this sucks
What's her ig . Her name
