It is a shame that he is not a superstar. The dude is the definition of an artist.

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.

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.

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!

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 👌

This dude is proof all men are NOT created equal.

This man is a legend!! Richie forever!! endless talent

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.

His musical styles evolve and getting better...never ends...

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.

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.

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 ;)

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

Richie should sing more often this early in the morning. Sounds great!

I dont know what he does better : play or sing. He's a complete musician

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.

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!

@jameswellington4795

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.

Amazing.. Moz underrated musician out there.. The Best!

Unbelievable talent this guy is 👍

I love this! Ritchie you sound great.. acoustic..please keep it going!

This man and his compadres are amazing! Richie has never been given the credit due to him!

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!!

Beautiful!

Always right to the middle of my soul. Love ya Richie!❤️

Love him,... love this song,... love this version of it. "I WOULD"

Possibly the first i've seen tv show hosts being pleasant and well-informed about such a guest. Pleasantly surprised!

Beautiful song. Wow!

Grande ,Grande el Sr. Kotzen, un tremendo instrumentista(buenísimo guitarrista) y gran compositor .. gracias por tu música

Incredible voice and very talented musician!

Hes great!! I love Richie's music!!!

Awesome !!!

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.

Pure gold fellas... silky smooth.

Ritchie you r great as always !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

awesome Richie! I can feel you in all my nervous system !

What a great song as well!

Love this man!

Amazing Musician & Humble which is rare with these dudes...

Wow. Nice!

And just when the song start wooow I was blown away, I would.

Amazing guitarist and a great singer. ❤

One of the best!

Richie smokes the stones everyday all day!!

Wow that was great!

How can he sing like that with such a deep voice. I got a deep voice and wouldnt think its possible lol, crazy talent

True talent!

Yeah! Rchie is the Best!

That was magic!

still loving your voice...

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

They rock.

O cara é muito top ! Maravilhoso

Everything he do is amazing!

Japanese love Richie and thank god they kept supporting RK throughout the decades

Give it everything you've got Richie. The coast is clear. Maybe make your way to New Zealand some day.

Damn this is amazing.

always a great player and good move for his voice, there's a little black hole sun in there, nice...

i love richie stuff....man, some songs just put music to my life.. but i cant help to see how skiny is he, hope he is ok, he is a great soul...

Great Talent !

Bravo

Buen artista una vocalización perfecta

Richie es lo máximo que talento dios!!!!!

The BEST!

What a vocalist

I'm not much of a ballad guy , but that was great ! How can you go wrong with Richie ...

Um dos melhores guitarristas que habitam o nosso planeta

It's funny that they don't seem to realize there is a total legend in the room.

Hard to believe the ticket prices for this phenomenal talent!

Super music 🍀🎼👌🙏🎶🎵❤️🎸✌️🎤🥁

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!

Can't believe this is the same guy who, 30 years ago, started out as a guitar shredder.

Richie has done things HIS way! He doesn't want a private plane. While other bands are sinking hundreds of thousands into re-master, Richie owns his music.
