- The Winery Dogs have released a new single from their new album called "Breakthrough". I reviewed a song by The Winery Dogs before and really enjoyed it. All three members are so incredibly talented, it's hard not to be impressed by their playing.

The diddly-boo is the bonham flamwaddle thingy = snare-Tom-floor Tom-kick 🤌
Do you promise you've personally drunk out of all of them before shipping?
Brilliant band and its amazing how much the late Chris Cornell sounded like Richie Kotzen
Richie's ability to shred while singing as well as he does truly is amazing.
I will never be what I was . Nor do I care to be .
Imagine if he actually smiled once?
With his fingers and no pick yet...
We need some Big Wreck reaction on this channel. Monster voice, sophisticated and well recorded arrangements, and guitar chops from hell.
Live in the moment, bro. After all, that's what the dang song is abooot. Lol.
Bingo!
Speaking of Soundgarden I feel like Thornley would be a good candidate too.
Agreed
Yes. Let's see some Big Wreck!
Richie is the best rock singer and guitarist going and has been for some time now. He never hits a bad note on guitar and singing. And he's 10x better live too. Nice dude too.
Saw the band recently in Glasgow, they were absolutely immense, I would encourage anyone with an interest in Rock to go and
see them (and I am 70), three of the best musicians around.
Richie Kotzen can do no wrong in my eyes. What a fantastic talent and thoroughly nice bloke. TWD put on an amazing show and I can't wait to see them rocking again this summer in the UK.
Couldn't agree more. Winery Dogs was the best thing to happen to rock music in years. I will listen to anything Richie puts out, man is an incredible talent.
It's crazy how 3 virtuosic players can crank out such groovy, accessible music. Love everything I've ever heard from The Winery Dogs.
As a crotchety old guy who believes that the 60s and 70s and 80s were the golden years of rock, this band gives me hope. Fantastic!
If you ever get the chance to see them live...DO IT! They are truly amazing. Just saw them last week with my 15 yr old grandson. We had a blast watching them, and it was the best concert I've been to since the late 70s.
Rush, for one. But do appreciate the trio that is Winery Dogs.
Been a fan of Ritchie since the 80’s. Winery Dogs sound great. He’s got a killer voice.
Justin, since you have an "in" with Elizabeth from Charismatic Voice, you should work on her to do a breakdown of Richie Kotzen's vocals...that would be great!
Yes, yes, they are! Like King's X and Rush they are PhD level masters of the Rock Trio.
Nice one indeed… love your love towards the🍷dogs 🙌🏻♥️🎸
Have been fortunate to see them twice now and their playing is absolutely mind-blowing. The things about bot times that also stood out is how much fun they have together. Next to seeing Rush multiple times I have not seen a more cohesive talented trio (really band) in my life, and this a kinda of a side project. They are individually arguably the best in the world for their respective instrument. Thanks for highlighting such an amazing group. They should be way more popular than they are. You rock Justin as well.
I just saw them few days ago. They’re the killer band!!
Justin, I love the way you can pick up on the influences that shape the songs. An artist talking about other artists and brining these points to light. Thank you!
Richie’s voice is getting better and better as he get older. To the point sometimes I forget the incredible guitar player he is.
Justin Fucking Hawkins Rides Againnnnn! 🎶🎶🎸
I gotta add, the Smith/Kotzen stuff is great too! Well worth a listen!
Great band and Ritchie is one of the best guitarists walking the earth. Dude is amazing!
So glad you gave the Winery Dogs a listen and review... they are a killer band!
Chris Cornell had such a distinct timbre to his voice I didn’t think anyone else would ever sound like him. I’m shocked actually at how close the resemblance is here.
thinking the same thing
Check out Ian Thornley from the band Big Wreck, he also has a similar voice like Cornell & Kotzen.
And Big Wreck is a great band too.
@@greekfreak1980Ian can play too. Great band
Chris has a brother Peter who is also a musician singer-songwriter and it is eerie how similar his voice is to Chris's.
Love your channel! Right now, your content is my only source for proper music and check out albums etc. No time to spend time at the record shop or read magazines about bands. Thank you for saving me from the spotify algorithm!
I've gotten to see the Winery Dogs twice live, once a week after their first album came out in a small little club and again after III came out in a theater. Richie Kotzen is the legit real deal and absolutely brilliant guitarist blessed with an amazing voice. Got to see Kotzen on a solo tour in a small club too near where he is from in the Pennsylvania. Everytime he left me just leveled by his performance!!!
I love this band! Richie sounds a lot like Chris Cornell's voice in his last works, it gave me goosebumps🥹.
Chris Cornell will be missed forever❤
Chris Cornell man, the best ever. Still can't believe he's gone😪
He also have some Coverdale vibes...
@@martinkasper197
I’m glad somebody else heard that.
Yep, later Cornell style when he does the high notes
Chris sounded like Richie
there isnt enough high calibre bandana analysis about these days - thanks Mr Hawkins.
Yes there is! KING'S X. 45 years + together. Same 3 original members. So much better and they have something called 'Soul'!🖖
Three piece bands I'll take triumph , Jimi Hendrix, grand funk, also liked some mountain and some frank Marino and mahogany rush. Some rush as well
With you on *King's X* even though VERY different than Winery Dogs (who I'm just getting into), and to _themselves_ because they are so damn hard to categorize, which is great because they are everything with a Heavy Rock edge (often "Metal") but with 3 part harmonies at times. And Guitarist Ty Tabor has that . . . TONE, no one can duplicate.
*Triumph* was another band that had a great sound, and good song writing, and Rik Emmet who could play classical/flamenco intros and then wail on the guitar . . . and had an incredible voice!
But . . . as noted, King's X is still around, came out with a awesome album a few months ago, and are touring it! Every album they've put out has its VERY unique moments and style.
@@mvunit3 I found them boring. Some prog rock is boring , later rush, some elp , yes. Love triumph though like purple and rainbow and UFO , zeppelin they also can play anything. But they are not boring. I'll have to give kings x another try.
You can feel the joy in creating and performing in all of their music. I've seen them live and same enthusiasm as well as reinterpretation and improvisation of each of their parts without modifying the song beyond recognition
The Winery Dogs are monsters, love them!
Simply the best rock band around, and that self-titled record is timeless. It should have won several Grammy's. Man, I'd love to hear you react to their best songs: "I'm No Angel," "Regret," "Criminal," "Time Machine," & "Oblivion."
Criminal must to have one live version 🙏🏼
@@ovitor.m Great version.
Love the Winery Dogs. I wish they'd rock out a little harder on their albums, but they're incredible live. Richie Kotzen is a true Renaissance man. He can do, and does do, it all.
Agreed. The last two albums have been a bit "tame" compared to the very first.
@@HunterRouth
Don’t you think that Winery Dogs’ ‘tame’ is everyone else’s ‘fuck, that’s impossible?’
@Brendan MacLean Haha, maybe. But they definitely can fire it up more. Aside from certain songs on both records, really, they don't crank it out like the first. I mean, the solos alone from the first record are almost near impossible to learn and he improvised all of them. Nuts.
How good is Softie's shirt! What a legend!!
Fantastic trio! ..and SO good live.
When I think of history’s greatest “Power Trios”, Winery Dogs easily makes that list. Cheers JH….keep rockin.
I get to see these guys in a couple weeks, can’t wait. The venue is only 5 minutes from my house. Easiest gig to get to ever. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Let's compliment the mix and mastering on this. The low end with the bass guitar and the kick drum sounds perfect to me!
Those three guys just kill it. And I have been saying that Richie sounds like Chris Cornell for a long time. I'm proud to say that Richie grew up around my area and it turns out that his parents are friends with my in-laws. And I have been a big fan of Mr. Big so I'm a big Billy Sheehan fan. People just don't realize the amount of talent in the Winery Dogs!
Check Billy Sheehan jamming with David Lee Roth, Steve Vai and Greg Bissonette after VH broke up. The year: 1986 The Album: "Eat 'em and Smile"
DAMN!!! He does have Cornell-esque vocals and damn do they sound amazing! The band rocks and collectively sounds outstanding! Going to check out their other stuff! ✌️
A more impressive trio? I'm going to have to say KING'S X!
No - and yes, they’re impressive 👊🏻🙌🏻🎸
Hadn’t come across this remarkable band before this review; what a find! Sadly, whilst singing along in the car, I substituted ‘Grapefruit’ for ‘Breakthrough’ and it’s now stuck in my head forever 😢
They're great!! Would also love to hear you talk about Cornell for longer - Soundgarden/ Audioslave video soon maybe???
Without even watching this video, No there is no trio as good as these rock gods
Richie always brings the Poison album Native Tongue to mind. I recommend it if you like Richie. 😊
Justin, you called it. They are a great Trio. I think that this band, as well as the Darkness are my favorite current bands.
That comment could earn you free tickets😂
Just like Nick says above. King’s X, specially the early albums. Best ever. Listen to the album Gretchen goes to Nebraska.
Just saw them last Friday night.
Amazing show. 🤘😄🤘
Your hair looks fantastic today Justin 😁❤️ wow, he does sound like Chris. Thank you for bringing this band to my attention they sound amazing 😊
Am I the only one that stops all these videos to go back and play “I Believe In A Thing Called Love”? And yessss tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak…. Spot on @JustinHawkinsRidesAgain! 🖤💙🖤💙
Got tix for them on the 28th here in Vegas! Very small venue, can’t wait!!
The right hand is ... I have not freaking clue. Pure feel.
good observations. especially that thin lizzy reference. spot on, old boy! well done.
All three masters of their instruments, all three add vocals, with Kotzen being off the charts outstanding. So powerful and soulful! And the chemistry between the three of them ... incredible synergy!
Then put it into motion with performance, stage presence, with top shelf songwriting! I have been singing the praises of the Winery Dogs since the first album.
Thanks for making the video!
I love The Winery Dogs. I’ve seem them live twice. They are the real deal.
Hi Softy!!!👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
04:34 😂😂😂
05:37 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really appreciate your mini guitar tutorial at 09:09! I wish I had a guitar teacher like you🫶🏻 Nice!!!👍🏻
Good afternoon Justin. You’re looking well.
Brutus. Post-Metal act out of Belgium. Power trio, female drummer is lead vocalist. Far and away the best power trio I’ve ever heard. Amazing live too. Check out the album Unison Life, amazing, amazing band
So lovely to hear you utter "flats in Dagenham" Fill, usually with the cheeky "pissed" straight after.
Funny thing about the Chris Cornell reference is the Winery Dogs backed Tom Morello at a charity benefit for Tony MacAlpine some years ago and they played Cochise by Audioslave with Richie handling vocals on it. Sounded a ton like Chris Cornell
This has zero to do with this video, but felt compelled to comment anyway. I'm from the States and knew one of your songs- make that LOVED it! I started watching your reactions and realized you were the singer. Since then, I have watched you sing live (recently, too) and, man oh man! You are bloody amazing. You are now in my top male vocalist list. 😅 I love how I can hear your accent on some words (swooning over your accent anyway. I have the Southern Belle accent and want yours) when you sing. Your range is incredible and I hear Freddy Mercury (highest compliment I can give anyone) but also such a distinctive sound of your own. Just wanted to let you know. And we need more rock music like this nowadays. I'm unimpressed by most new music.
Rockin' that 'Tom Selleck' Hawaiian shirt there Justin!
Agree! I love that shirt.
Richi Kotzen, in case you never dove into his stuff, Fooled Again or Till you put me down as songs or the whole 24 Hours Album or any other stuff of him, you gonna love it and you also you mentioned THIN LIZZY in this video. Just make a video about them or don't... :P Love to hear your take on them. ONe of the most unknown greatest bands in the world. Big fan of this channel. Cheers.
I saw them in Knoxville Tennessee. The show was pure brilliance...mjm
The two last sessions from your palatial retreat have been very good in regard to the songs you chose to react. Enjoy and feel inspired because if the new stuff for the next album is proportional to the good mood that you reflect, it means that we are waiting for very good things.
You know that you are always stylish and cute for me.
I wish i could see you not in the ice, because i don't like the cold, but on a stage...around Spain.
Rush is a pretty legendary trio, but these guys are pretty good too.
Seen both live. Rush much better imo
@@irena7777777 I've no doubt.
@@captaincaptain2128 I like the Winery Dogs but it’s generic rock music. Nothing exciting about it. First album was really good but not much of interest since then. For me, at least
@@irena7777777triumph was better than rush . Hell so was Jimi Hendrix. Let's not forget the intensity of grand funk.
I don't know already I like the singer alot better than geddy . And this guitar player pretty good
Awesome reaction and commentary, thanks Justin
Watching Portnoy play with Transatlantic (another band of virtuosos) I noticed how little grandstanding these guys do. It's there when they need it but it's not in your face.
The concert opens with Portnoy on lead vocals which is quite a revelation.
Yay! Need more of Softy please.
They are a band I really want to see. In fact, I just finished this video and booked tickets to see them at Shepherd's Bush Empire in June - result!
I go to a lot of concerts. And no one is as good as these guys live. It is absolutely an incredible experience to watch them live in person. No pyrotechnics, no huge light show, just kick ass rock and roll with actual live playing and singing. It doesn't get any better!!
Halestorm was amazing live, and I really loved seeing Wolf VH touring his first solo album. Both shows were at smallish venues, with good sound.
I go to a lot of concerts, too. The sound matters a lot more than the showy stuff like pyrotechnics.
Next up: Disturbed. I hope they live up to my expectations, because the venue is not the best for viewing or sound.
Forgot about Rush when thinking of the title I see.
Love me some Winery Dogs. I just missed them in Austin...
These guys are one of my favorites
They're all monster players and have amazing pedigree and back catalogues to boot. I had Richie's first ever instructional video for Reh, called Rock Chops when he was really young and still playing Ibanez. Superbly talented and tasteful player.
One of your funniest videos yet re: the comments. I just watched this on my pad in my local and genuinely larfing out loud to use that hackneyed phrase. More power to your elbow Justin, fuckin luv ya!!
The best! Saw them in February and they were incredible. Saw Richie 2x last October. Never disappoints. Phenomenal talent. I describe him as Chris Cornell on steroids; more soul and bluesy.
Mr Cornell came straight in my mind!! Phnaw phnaw!!
Amazing band, just got to see them live recently!!!!
A trio of rock gods!
….and that solo! 👌🏻🎸pure flawless fret wizardry!
Richie hasn't used a pick for years. How the hell can he shred like that with just fingers???
Using the index finger(nail) as a pick
like Mancuso?
He does a lot of hammer ons and pull offs - he’s had an incredible legato lefthand technique since the late 80s. If you watch his right hand, he doesn’t pick very much with his fingers at all. It’s awesome!
I haven't used a pick in almost 16 yrs. Oddly enough, it's made me a much better player...
I'd love to see a closeup of his hands. I bet his calluses have calluses.
I found out about them about a couple of years ago. They are indeed something else.
I’ve seen Richie solo band 5 times , he truly is one of the most phenomenal musician I have seen . Blows me away every time.
Love those vocals - so much power! It's high pitched but not "screamy" which I can appreciate but only listen to for so long.
GREAT BAND! Ritchies guitar playing is as you said incredible, always with feel, melody and sits in the song, nothing worse than a solo that feels like it was recorded for something else and dropped in because it was in key but doesn't fit the feel of the song. And the fecker can sing too!!!!! 🙂
Before I knew which band the title was referring to, I was thinking about the Winery Dogs! Awesome stuff.
Love the Winery Dogs. Amazingly talented musicians. 👍
Great band! Lucky enough to see them live in London several years ago.
I truly appreciate you using my comment! I’ve been a fan of your channel and band for a very long time! Cheers Justin!
Great review once again, Justin. Love it.
Funny you mentioned "the Poison guy" when talking bandanas.
The reason I started listening to Richie Kotzen was because he joined Poison in 1992 and played on probably their best album "Native Tongue".
I think he was kicked out a year later for an affair with the drummers missus. How rock n roll!
Regardless, I was then a follower of Richie right through his solo stuff, his stint in Mr. Big, his band Forty Deuce and now Winery Dogs.
Met him at a showcase gig for Cornford Amplifiers in Whitstable 20 years ago with Stevie Salas. Really friendly and personable chap.
Amazing guitarist and singer to boot.
Keep up the great content. Best wishes.
Strewth. He sounds so much like Chris Cornell it is scary!! Then again the whole band is on another level. Billy Sheehan's playing is ridiculously effortless also. I love Justin's appreciation of musicianship. I mean, he is such an accomplished, superb guitarist himself, but when he sees and hears something that he likes and appreciates he does not hold back, have any airs and graces and speaks like a fan. He then proceeds to explains WHY he likes it so much and WHY it is so good. One of the things I love about you sir. I also love it when you say something is just shite!! 😁
Ritchie is one of the best combination singer-guitarist , second maybe only to Justin Hawkins
Please!!!🙏Could you get Mike Portnoy to the podcast?? Sure he'd be pleased to chat with you!🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🤘🏻🤘🏻
did Justin just use a diphthong for a drum riff? “DI Du BOO goo”. AND that cosmic thing that brought those guys together was Eddie Trunk. man, he did us all a favor with that thought
Oh Lord. God bless your house boy, Everything in his life is wonderful. What a tragic situation.
Never heard Winery Dogs , excellent 👌🏻my tunes for today when I go a cycle
You sure are beaming. And I love it.
Saw them on Wednesday in LA - third time. They still are amazing. Their sound is huge and the energy is great. They also have a lot of fun on stage together - little jokes between them during songs, seem to be testing each other as well. Compared to other current bands (charging way more for their tickets)I felt like I should have paid more. Worth every $.
Nice one Justin. Looking good without that tache
