Not sure about how one could compare them. I've been a Kotzen fan for 25 years. Amazing player and his note selection is incredible. Without a doubt in my top 5. NOT a Bonamassa (Captain Pentatonic) fan but i wish i had his Chops. LOL.
+Scott Waszak He can sweep and do lots of pull offs,, but he has no SOUL! That's the way it is with virtually all speed freaks. Give me Marco Sfoglia any day over Kotzen. He's very repetitive also,, lingering in a pattern and then basically doing the same thing again and again. He needs to listen to guys like Robben Ford, Larry Carlton, and many other great players that have heart and soul!!!!
+Sonny Cannon Dude are you nuts? He's was playing in bars because he was black listed by the business for what happened in poison. It has nothing to do with his amazing talent. Watch the live dvd he posted on his channel, listen to the winery dogs, and watch interviews. He is the exact opposite of what you just said.
+Sonny Cannon what the fuck man if you cant see that this thing has a soul in it then what can you see. He is a outsanding talent and really touches me
@@geetarnut Such a stereotypically ignorant comment. You're just messing with us aren't ya ;) if not then you must be one of those struggling pentatonic blues stuck-in-the-box guitar players who are too lazy to practice and instead shit on great musicians who dont play slow and sloppy and call it 'feeling'. Just because RK has advanced tools in his toolbox certainly doesn't mean he lacks soul. He needs them to convey his soul! Your little brain just can't process it. Now go practice and learn to appreciate music. Listen to RK heros, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Bootsy Collins and you'll start to see clearly.
Richie is blessed! Man, what a talent. I already got tickets to see him for the third time. Nice shooting as well, good video quality, thanks for sharing!
Simply awesome... This seems like it's the period of time when Richie was getting real comfortable playing with his fingers, but before he put down the guitar pick altogether... Anyway, amazing!
Es un genio Richie: una voz impresionante, canciones muy bien compuestas (letras que pueden identificar a cualquiera) con un feeling terrible, tanto que me fascinan muchos más sus riffs que sus solos (que también son buenisimos con un estilo fusionero y hasta a veces virtuoso pero que logra que queden bien en una canción simple, sobretodo me vuelve loco si vienen acompañados por esos efectos de wha funkeros).
I am a Hendrix lover and I agree with you. If Hendrix lived I am certain he would have practiced and attained a much more technical proficiency. I don't think Hendrix had the natural singing ability Kotzen has. Kotzen and Prince are both Hendrix 6.0.
yo empecé a escuchar a richie justamente porque me gustaba escuchar a los guitarristas "shredding". Pero su primer disco que busca exhibirse con la técnica, la verdad ni me gustó. Recién me empezó a atrapar cuando tocó esos discos fusioneros con Greg Howe, ahí ví que el tipo ya tenía otro estilo. Pero después cuando empecé a escuchar el "Mother Head's Family reunion", "wave of emotion" y demás discos, me di cuenta que me estaba perdiendo un pedazo de compositor.
Porqué será que algunos estúpidos se sienten vengados por el tecnicismo que ostenta Kotzen, colocándolo en el podio de una competencia a ver quién es más veloz. Desde lo técnico, desde ya hay que nombrar a Kotzen "Presidente de la Liga Intergaláctica". Ahora bien, como ARTISTA, sería una falta de respeto de mi parte decir que Kotzen no tiene nada para decir, entonces voy a suponer que no tiene ganas de decir nada a quien lo escucha. Con todo respeto a los fanáticos de R. K.
Well, let's put it this way. Kotzen would not be the player he is today if Hendrix weren't around. So, I think what you're saying is that Kotzen is more technically proficient than Hendrix, which I would agree with, but he doesn't "shit all over him". If anything, it's vice versa.
I like Richie, but this statement is really ridiculous. Richie is a very good guitar player who also doesn't sing too badly. I think Richie would laugh his ass off if you told him what you wrote.
People go on about Bonamassa well Kotzen wipes the floor with him both vocally and on guitar In a parallel universe Kotzen is the megastar

Craig Price and songwriting
Totally agreed!
JB is awesome in his own right, RK's talents are perfect combination.
Bonamasa sucks....
What is a guy like THIS doing playing in a bar??! Kotzen is a freakish talent.

+Brendon Hurley don't bother explaining to ignorant youtube guru's.....you're right, .....and I KNOW it....

Richie sings from his guitar. He is totally one with his instrument. Man can this guy play!!! Nothing beats Richie Kotzen!!. 🎸✌️✌️☯️
I. Have nothing but to. Say he is a Great TALENT THE VOICE HANDS OF FIRE 🔥 !!!!!!!!
I could watch his hands all day long! Oh and the voice too~
Amen Bro! I saw Richie play when he was 19 with a band called Network and he was incredible back then. He is smokin!
Holy shit, I think the best and most complete solo I've seen Kotzen do
Richie is blessed! Man, what a talent. I already got tickets to see him for the third time. Nice shooting as well, good video quality, thanks for sharing!
Greatest guitarist for me. Totally unique. Love the guy.
Wow, awesome stuff... The tone he gets from that Tele is amazing.
And I LOVE this drummer, he's great!!! =D
Transitions so sweetly
outstanding performance
Thanks, I was really hoping someone would find a way to insult someone else while watching a Kotzen video. You the man.
the one and only Miss Michele Holland...again thanks 4 providing this.....
@netoolv
the drummer is Demian Arriaga... love him !
Love Richie Kotzen!
amazing, thanks for sharing
Totally satisfying !!!
Simply awesome... This seems like it's the period of time when Richie was getting real comfortable playing with his fingers, but before he put down the guitar pick altogether... Anyway, amazing!
Outstanding!!!!!
Awesome!!!
Wonderful...
Wow! Thanks for sharing...
Fabulous
@Anthowtzen
lol, we were playing Name That Tune with him (you can narely hear me, but I did call PS out first ) lol
wow!!!! I'm a FAN!
Check out his new band The Winery Dogs,they rock too.
Esse batera é muito melhor que o atual, da turnê de 2011. E o Kotzen com palhetas é outra sonoridade!!! Animal!!!

awe
Brutality can't get any subtle!
Yes!!
Great version of this track..Was there any reason for the departure of D. Pearson, or Richie just changing up his band as usual?
I am a Hendrix lover and I agree with you. If Hendrix lived I am certain he would have practiced and attained a much more technical proficiency. I don't think Hendrix had the natural singing ability Kotzen has. Kotzen and Prince are both Hendrix 6.0.
yeeeeeeahhhhhh
real Robin Trower feel
Thank YOU!!!!
En este vídeo Richie mandó a guardar al 99.9% de los guitarristas

I need to learn that part 11:47
ok!
It's ok
...and the Guitar: JesusChrist reloaded!
like a bau5
I have that guitar, but it doesn't sound like that.....
