His lows and high range is spot on Cornell...And it's his natural voice its insane...what makes it more crazy he looks a lot like him to which may be why they have the same tone idk...but ur right they sound like each other ....jealous of both lol
The most amazing thing about Richie is how humble he remains when he has so much talent. Constantly being compared to other artists, and yet is just as talented as those he's compared to and has been in the industry just as long. He's one of the best artists of this era. Thanks, Richie.
Exactly... that comparing him to Chris Cornell is very annoying... with all due respect to Cornell, he never had the talent that Kotzen has. Richie is a multi-instrumentalist, he sings, composes, plays drums, bass...he's been with Mr. Big and both current projects The Winery Dogs and Smith /Kotzen wouldn't make it Cornell in two full lifetimes.
Never knew much about Richie until the Winery Dogs. Have to say he is way more versatile than I realized. Indeed a talented fellow who deserves more recognition.
Fever Dream.... He was about 19 if that and back in early 90s . Incredible voice, remarkably fluid, soulful and intense guitar player. It's so wonderful to see him still kicking it!! Beautiful song 👌
Glad to see him playing older songs, too. I love his late 90s albums, very soulful and melodic. Records like "Break it All Down", What If"'.... true gems.
when i read comments like yours i just smile......it s so naive to think things like you do, you see, the word 's quite a big place, and you gotta recognize ,what magnificent thing is,when mllions of people come together appreciating something..it means,that s really something that touches masses.....and the Stones are one of those things,so,no use in comparing....kotzen gives something to you, that s good, i also have my artists ,who don t gain major success ,but to me they are Gods...it s just our personal taste...then there is reality, that rality which involves the est of the world , and it s a bigger reality ;)
Who sounds this good in a TV studio? He would have been plonked in a corner and told to sing. This is what talent and good song writing proves. Ironic that the presenter comes out saying "hes's the real deal"... Doesn't she know who this guy is? The work he's put in, the albums he's recorded, the tours? This guy is the best around and only a certain number of us sadly know this. He's totally next level. Loved him since his Shapnel Record days but love him even more now.
Wow... im speeches. The day Chris Cornell died was a sad day for me and in music. He was one of my favorite artist. I play guitar and remember kotzen as a shredder. Finding this video and his music made me very happy today!
Not just a shredder at all. He has some really great bluesy rock tracks where the guitar is a driving force and then songs like this which are really well written. The guy is crazy talented.
I can not believe I didn't know about this guy, hell this band for that much,, until just last year. Especially growing up as a rock musician , in Southern California, in the 80's & 90's. He is fucking amazing, in every style he chooses to tinker with, jazz, fusion, metal, blues, and whatever else he wants to toss in the mix. Personally I compare his vocals more to Al Greene , or John Hall than Cornell. There is a very small group of true Guitar God's and Richie is one of them.
Can't believe he cut his hair had great hair still regardless the man is so underated it's sickening it's time richie kotzen was a household name here in the states overseas he's there already
Don’t be fooled my friend, he’s still a hell of a shredder, bu I guess there’s more time for composition and arrangements in his new material. But I bet he can be up there with Satriani, Vai and others when it comes to shredding
And it cant be fun to be introduced as the ex guitar player of Poison..ha.Ouch that hurts!We all do mistakes but keep on rockin you great especially as a singer love your voice!
Probably one of the most talented underrated people in music.
Unbelievably under appreciated! Such a gifted performer
No Doubt!!
Most definitely, voice and guitar chops are epic.
agreed - similarly, Ian Thornley - Big Wreck
It is a shame that he is not a superstar. The dude is the definition of an artist.
One the best voices in rock, reminds my of Chris Cornell.
And Ian Thornley
His lows and high range is spot on Cornell...And it's his natural voice its insane...what makes it more crazy he looks a lot like him to which may be why they have the same tone idk...but ur right they sound like each other ....jealous of both lol
totally !!!! same here ... he reminds me Chris Cornell a lot!

RIchie and humble? I bet you've never met the guy, he's the biggest douche I've ever run across
So many have no idea how good this guy is. No idea.
One of the most talented musician in our time. A virtuoso, composer and singer. He is a legend started from Poison.
@@youngtevanced8818 Yes, and he has instrumental albums prior top Poison too. If you haven't seen them, look it up. Good stuff.
@@jaxinzbak oh that was a good trivia, thanks.
Never knew much about Richie until the Winery Dogs. Have to say he is way more versatile than I realized. Indeed a talented fellow who deserves more recognition.
This dude is proof all men are NOT created equal.
This man is a legend!! Richie forever!! endless talent
Fever Dream.... He was about 19 if that and back in early 90s . Incredible voice, remarkably fluid, soulful and intense guitar player. It's so wonderful to see him still kicking it!! Beautiful song 👌
His musical styles evolve and getting better...never ends...
Glad to see him playing older songs, too. I love his late 90s albums, very soulful and melodic. Records like "Break it All Down", What If"'.... true gems.
Maybe she should be asking the Stones "What's it like to have Richie Kotzen open for you?" He's got more talent than all the Stones put together.
Maybe he's as good as the Stones minus Ronnie Wood.
I woul ever prefere Richie Kotzen. Where are the Stones? (and I am a 1955er)
The Stones never ever could do something like that!!!
youre god damn right

Without the Stones there would be no Richie Kotzen. Be humble. Be quiet and don't be ignorant.

I dont know what he does better : play or sing. He's a complete musician
Richie should sing more often this early in the morning. Sounds great!
Wow... im speeches. The day Chris Cornell died was a sad day for me and in music. He was one of my favorite artist. I play guitar and remember kotzen as a shredder. Finding this video and his music made me very happy today!

I like those lyrics "I will try hard to believe in a higher power but it is easier to let it be." that's truthful.
Amazing.. Moz underrated musician out there.. The Best!
This man and his compadres are amazing! Richie has never been given the credit due to him!
I love this! Ritchie you sound great.. acoustic..please keep it going!
great voice, so glad he persevered with his vocals
Work work work! I just adore the way this man does his job!! The best guitar musician ever known and at the same time a very nice guy!!
Unbelievable talent this guy is 👍

More like Stones was a Closer for Kotzen :)
Ha ha - yes
Viktor D. I completely agree with this
Definitely
Beautiful song. Wow!
Beautiful!
Always right to the middle of my soul. Love ya Richie!❤️
Love him,... love this song,... love this version of it. "I WOULD"
Incredible voice and very talented musician!
Possibly the first i've seen tv show hosts being pleasant and well-informed about such a guest. Pleasantly surprised!
Hes great!! I love Richie's music!!!
One of the best!
Richie smokes the stones everyday all day!!
What a great song as well!
Pure gold fellas... silky smooth.
Awesome !!!
Ritchie you r great as always !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grande ,Grande el Sr. Kotzen, un tremendo instrumentista(buenísimo guitarrista) y gran compositor ..
gracias por tu música

How fucking humble. Those hosts should have bowed in his presence.
Amazing Musician & Humble which is rare with these dudes...
Nice song amazing voice and talent
Wow that was great!

Wow. Nice!
Amazing guitarist and a great singer. ❤
True talent!
Love it, him, this trio. ✌
Mano que voz! O cara é completo musicalmente falando
And just when the song start wooow I was blown away, I would.
How can he sing like that with such a deep voice. I got a deep voice and wouldnt think its possible lol, crazy talent
Can't believe he cut his hair had great hair still regardless the man is so underated it's sickening it's time richie kotzen was a household name here in the states overseas he's there already
Esse cara é LENDA!
Japanese love Richie and thank god they kept supporting RK throughout the decades
Amazing! Kotzen is the Best!!
I'm not much of a ballad guy , but that was great !
How can you go wrong with Richie ...
So much talent in this guy
Very underated guitarist
Yeah! Rchie is the Best!
Everything he do is amazing!
still loving your voice...
Guys, this is the internet. We need to know what Japanese commercial is using his music. Now.
And it's "the most amazing thing."
O cara é muito top ! Maravilhoso
Give it everything you've got Richie. The coast is clear.
Maybe make your way to New Zealand some day.
It's funny that they don't seem to realize there is a total legend in the room.
That was magic!
Can't believe this is the same guy who, 30 years ago, started out as a guitar shredder.
John Drake first album was shred, on the second one he already sings. Third, shred....fourth sings...he was always like this in fact.
Don’t be fooled my friend, he’s still a hell of a shredder, bu I guess there’s more time for composition and arrangements in his new material. But I bet he can be up there with Satriani, Vai and others when it comes to shredding
And it cant be fun to be introduced as the ex guitar player of Poison..ha.Ouch that hurts!We all do mistakes but keep on rockin you great especially as a singer love your voice!
Great Talent !
They rock.
el mejor artista que existe sobre la tierra....!!!!

What a great song!$15.00 to get in to the show?It's worth a lot more for sure!

Richie is so talented and his voice is more underrated than his guitar playing.
Bravo

Hard to believe the ticket prices for this phenomenal talent!
