@@chimster1234 Thats your opinion man. He doesnt pull off Paul easily, Ask anyone, You just dont replicate someones work and become the guitarist that Paul is. I like Kotzen too but it just doesnt hold a candle to what Paul did or still does. Sorry and the only cheeseball i see in this convo is you!
Back in his hey days, Richie Kotzen was a shredder. But as he advance in age his approach became more bluesy which I think is his real calling. He sings great too! He's aging like a fine wine! All in all, Mr. Big is a band to reckon with! Cheers to Mr. Big, their family, friends and fans! Mr. Pat Torpey, you are sorely missed! Rest in peace! Much love from the Philippines!
💯%.. a lot of people don't know that Richie shreds, his first 3 albums kinda fall under Becker, Vai category and his work with Greg Howe at some point made him one of those fusion lords. Then with Poison's native tongue and 2 albums with Mr. Big and now Winery Dogs. He evolves musically
I really love Mr. Big... With Gilbert and with Kotzen... Richie is a very great talent. His style is so unique... Mr. Big with Kotzen is a little different but he gave a pretty cool style to the band. Awesome Band!!!!
I was one of the few lucky ones to have had seen ,Paul,Richie,Billy,& Pat preforming together (in that magical moment was Mr Big with both guitar players minus Eric Martin, Richie was covering his duties pretty well.)
@@qwertyzxcv123 they played 30 days in a hole at paul gilbert's guitar generation event with Kotzen and George Lynch with special guest Pat Torpey and Billy Sheehan
Kotzen is a pure feeling and he goes crazy only when he has to, while Gilbert also has a lot of feeling but he goes crazy all the time :D They are both amazing.
Ritchie's a killer player , not to mention he's been the " Go To " for all these bands that disband / fold or whatever etc .... he comes in a picks up all the pieces and get them back playing again !
Richie Kotzen was the perfect fit for Mr Big, bluesy soulful and highly technical as well ,the problem was he got in when the band was falling apart, however Get over it was/is still one of the best MrBig albums
I agree with Ivo, cause Kotzen is really soulful, before a few days I've just took the guitar and tried to play Static and it was so bluezy and fun and even the whole composition was so melodic and I felt so well and yes there are such songs with Gilbert, but the bluezy modjo is out of the box with Kotzen more than Gilbert. Thank God now Kotzen is with Billy and they are jamming fabulos music with Winary Dogs, I can easily say that this trio have power more than Gradfunk Railroad :D
Looks/sounds COMPLETELY different band! I've been a fan for over 23 years but avoided "no Paul" era and this was the very first time to see a live footage without Paul and.... it is just interesting and kind of funny, especially now, right after seeing 8 shows in Japan.
I can see now where Ritchie Kotzen & Billy Shehans downright scary talent came from in Mr Big .. I cant figure how I missed them during their career...Mr Big was a great band , with very intense driving riffs great vocals , great songwriting , ...unbelievable arrangements
Ritchie is excellent as solo artist... he's a full package of art, he can do many instruments, and he sings so well. But for Mr Big I think PG's sound is irreplaceable
I agree, Paul Gilbert has a very unique sound that is irreplaceable, and although Ritchie is a very talented guitarist, I just don't care for his Mr Big material...
As much as I love Paul Gilbert, I have to say I prefer Richie Kotzen. His tone and style appeal to me a lot more. Either way Mr. Big will always be one of the greatest bands in rock
Listen to his powerful harmonies at the 12:20 mark, so artfully arching up! Richie Kotzen is a Rock God cause he has is all Vox, Guitar Chops, and Songwriting skills that just don't stop! He always ends up writing the best songs with whichever band is lucky enough to have him.
QUE GRANDE ERIC MARTIN SE VISTE SENCILLAMENTE CERO EGO UN ARTISTA EN SERIO AL IAGUAL QUE TODO MR BIG OBVIOO Y RICHIE LO MAXIMO QUE BANDA DIOOOSSSSSS !!!!
Escuchar a estos crack te emociona! los amo! Lastima que en febrero me pierda de poder verlos en vivo :( No puedo dejar de reconocer el talento de Richie Kotzen.. ah dejado su huella instrumentalmente y me gusta la combinación de voces con Eric... pero por otro lado también me alegra que Paul Gilbert haya regresado... Porque eso es Mr Big en esencia!
Richie puts in his soul with his way of play, and Billy n Pat adapted to his game.. Eric found a duet vocally too.. With Paul it's more fun rock n roll nuance with some heavy riffs.. Different approach..
Years later, or over a decade. People are still talking about how Richie is better in this and that...Richie and Paul are both Gods of the guitar. But c'mon, Mr. Big's sound is not Mr. Big if it is not Paul. It's like claiming that you'd rather listen to Hercules than a good chat with your barber.
mm... I would like to see paul perform songs from Actual Size or Get Over It, but what I really really prefer is a reunion concert with paul gilbert and richie kotzen in mr big...
I think Pat is at the absolute height of his drumming at this show. Super lame that they left out the electric drill. INCREDIBLY anticlimactic lol. I think that even though Eric had lost a little range, his vocals during this era were my favorite. Richie’s fantastic! I still prefer Paul, and this feels like a bit of a different animal, but they put out two great records with Richie. The way he swings Addicted to That Rush is killer.
Hey does anyone know where I can find the individual interviews they did for this concert? I know they were up on TH-cam awhile back but can't seem to find them.
So Richie replaced Paul, sounds not bad(but i still preffer Paul) but i wondering what was happen if Billy decided to leave the band? Who can replace him? I am not familiar with any other bass player who can play Billy's crazy bass parts
Well, Billy was sacked from the band prior to this tour. He was asked to rejoin when the tour promoters insisted and agreed to do so on the condition that it was a final tour. There was another bass player who appeared on some promotional stuff, but was not an official member of the band.
I'm just glad Paul stopped doing instrumental albums and at least back to play songs with a vocalist. But I still wait he goes back to solo albums, shit like Alligator Farm and Burning Organ was so insanely good nothing can top that.
Intro is on the Neck Pickup, quick slap to the Bridge, then right back to the Neck, He pretty much stays on the neck pickup the entire song The Dueling/Solo playing is on the bridge (probably to get out of Billy's Sonic space)

Solo Guitar, Bass and drum missing in this video, dunno why, but Pat Torpey solo found separate...
Fun fact: Eric was 42 yr old at this concert :D
These guys are extreme powerhouses but Eric Martin is one that absolutely cannot be replaced
What a great band! Even without Paul they still kick ass! RIP Pat Torpey! One of the best rock drummers of all time!
Kotzen is deadly. He effortlessly replaced Paul and to top it all off, he writes and sings better than these cheeseballs

Farewell Pat Torpey. R.I.P.
RIP Pat.
Stop the hate, no tears......just beers!!! Listen up !!!!
richie is the beast
How can I like everything that Richie do? What is this magic spell on me?

indeed.. no Gilbert, no Mr. Big
Kotzen is good, but Gilbert is much much better.
Billy Sheehan's sound and playing reminds me at times of John Entwistle ..
The best band in the world... All talented and virtuous ❤️ Mr. Big 2020... We miss u Pat #RIP
大好きなMR.BIG。メンバーの演奏もコーラスも素晴らしい。パットが元気でパワフルで見ていて嬉しかった。観客もおとなしめでしたね。
October 2019
I still watch & enjoy this concert
I love richie and paul! Mr big is great and richie's sound is great to the band... Love mr big!
The band should do a tribute to this formation.... Love the album with Richie Kotzen...
there's two albums with Richie and they're both kick ass
Mr. Big is one of the best bands ever and I believe has been underrated. Keep it up.
Looks/sounds COMPLETELY different band! I've been a fan for over 23 years but avoided "no Paul" era and this was the very first time to see a live footage without Paul and.... it is just interesting and kind of funny, especially now, right after seeing 8 shows in Japan.

Wow. Incredible. Long time fan of the band but never heard it with Richie before. He really holds it down! Great show.
Ritchie is excellent as solo artist... he's a full package of art, he can do many instruments, and he sings so well.
But for Mr Big I think PG's sound is irreplaceable
Ritchie is great! But Paul Gilbert is one of the signatures of Mr. Big

wow this is the, THE best thing Mr Big ever did
+shawn gregory agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!

Been wondering that i like the Richie's backing vocals more than the Paul ones. His voice fits perfectly on the old songs.
15:43 is the most expected thing for the concert!
Pat Torpey. As fine today as he was in the '80's
Bow down to the real Rock Gods! So much talent it's unreal! They have always had that sexy rock going on, whew! Lol
The magic of Richie kotzen...
Mr.Big full out...is good...
Bom Demais !!! Show essa Banda!
Missing you Pat Torpey
thx man ;)
MR BIG is the greatest!!!!!!!
Electrifiedかっこよすぎて泣けた
Dancing With My Devils .. this is really rocks !
The one and only.... Big Size album with Mr. koezen as subtitution player
What a powerhouse !!! :-)

Awesome band!!!
Why the comments below are more comparison 'bout who is the best of mr.big guitarist?
thank you. i agree its so hard to find this concert..im the biggest fan of Mr.Big :)
Was Eric Martin expecting it to rain in the arena at the beginning of the show? :-)
Hahahaha😂🎉🎉❤❤

Amazing!!!!!
LOVE RICHIE!!!!!!
pat torpey...cool
Epic upload. Thanks!
I envy ritchie kotzen
Nice.. love Eric :)

Супер! Лак! Подписка!
Look, I like Paul (not on my Olympo...) but Richie fits perfectly! The band sounds more bluesy and this is just cool!
But.. I think the work solo of Kotzen Better than the Gilbert solo albuns... :D
Better voice of Kotzen too
Eric Martin is gorgeous
Richie, you stud.
mm... I would like to see paul perform songs from Actual Size or Get Over It, but what I really really prefer is a reunion concert with paul gilbert and richie kotzen in mr big...
33:00～cool!最高！
My boy RK went beast mode on suffocation
as i allways say, money change everything. even a farewell tour (and after so great fight inside mr. big!)
What the great fight??i thougth they bond are strong
@@aryantiatun5128 There were many difficulties and disagreements in the band at this time.
Richie should use more often Marshall amps!
I think Pat is at the absolute height of his drumming at this show.
Super lame that they left out the electric drill. INCREDIBLY anticlimactic lol.
I think that even though Eric had lost a little range, his vocals during this era were my favorite.
Richie’s fantastic! I still prefer Paul, and this feels like a bit of a different animal, but they put out two great records with Richie. The way he swings Addicted to That Rush is killer.
PG is inventing electric drill for solo, and i think koetzen doesnt want to use drill too
That wasn't Pat, That was Matt Starr.
@@alexwest4253 uh… no it wasn’t lol
Reunion. Spread the word.
Wait what!!! Where's Paul Gilbert? Oh I can't watch this 🙁 .... Wow! they sounded amazing.
great!
すげぇベースの音。
Sugoi desuyo,Watashi Ventura CA de nama o manmae de mimashita.
5:25 - someone is doing the O O O backing vocals ahead of time?
+Cícero M. pat torpey
+Clawforbycicle Initially I was thiking it sounded odd, but it doesn't - so I guess it's not a mistake after all.
Hey does anyone know where I can find the individual interviews they did for this concert? I know they were up on TH-cam awhile back but can't seem to find them.
The great ,but THE BITTER END is next!!!
The audience in Japan is so organized. Doesn´t resembles a rock concert.
メチャクチャ嬉しいんですけど、各メンバーのソロパートがカットされてるのだけが残念・・・。
👍👍👍 mantab
I never understood why they cutted the show..
So Richie replaced Paul, sounds not bad(but i still preffer Paul) but i wondering what was happen if Billy decided to leave the band? Who can replace him? I am not familiar with any other bass player who can play Billy's crazy bass parts

I can only think of Les Claypool.
Plot twist: John Patitucci would step in
Who killed Kenny ??????
Richie Kotzen with no shirt= Dave Navarro
Eric had started to lose his voice and range by 2000. His last concert 2018 was so painful to watch. Hope he takes care of himself. God bless.
I'm glad Paul Gilbert came back after several years
I'm just glad Paul stopped doing instrumental albums and at least back to play songs with a vocalist. But I still wait he goes back to solo albums, shit like Alligator Farm and Burning Organ was so insanely good nothing can top that.
niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
..Track List please
The Drill song without drill is very sad...but RK is a good fit for MrBig
Нет слов...
the audience reminds me of Pro Evolution Soccer supporters, crowd but organized... anyway live in japan will always have great sound quality
Bad Ass !
i love ritchie kotzen's music but this doesnt feel like mr big without paul, to me
Rip Pat Torpey
LOL, Daniel-san, the Karate Kid, was singing on a band! Hey man, say hello to Mr. Miyagi! Banzai!
why they cut the richie kotzen solo part
anyone can tell me whats set pickup that richie use in song suffocation? thankyouu :)
Intro is on the Neck Pickup, quick slap to the Bridge, then right back to the Neck,
He pretty much stays on the neck pickup the entire song
The Dueling/Solo playing is on the bridge (probably to get out of Billy's Sonic space)
It he has dimarzio fast tracks on neck & middle, PAF pro for the bridge
