He’s got to be the most underrated guitarist on the planet. The playing and vocals are insanely great!

Kotzen is a musical BEAST. The passion in which he plays is 2nd to none. He delivers every note like its his last....been one of my favorites for years. CHEERS to ALL

Ritchie Kotzen is the full package, great guitar player, singer, and can write music that resonates with people. The winery dogs is a great example of that.

I've been a fan of Richie for many years. So underrated!!!! Great player with amazing vocals !!!

just wow!.. a new fan of Richie Kotzen was hatched today.... Thanks

Only recently delved into Ritchie Kotzen - bloody hell, what a musical genius! Superb songwriting, vocals and legendary guitar. and a great range of stuff as well.

My love for Mike Portnoy is the reason I'm here. After I heard about his group, The Winery Dogs, I decided to grab their first album. What a find! I already knew about Billy Sheehan - a bassist that never sits in the pocket, plays his bass like a guitar, and somehow still comes out smelling like roses. I obviously knew about Portnoy - a drummer with no need of an introduction or explanation, ever. But to lead the power trio with such a bluesy voice and such skill on the Telecaster? Richie Kotzen blew my mind. I remember him from his early days as an innovative super-shredder, and some of his early stuff still had some soul to it, but good grief! As a mature guitarist and singer, the man is just amazing! So totally underrated. It's such a crime he's known by so few in America. His band here is really good. A great in-the-pocket bassist paired with a simple and effective blues drummer - nothing but groove from the rhythm section. I understand why Kotzen's old fans might not like his newer material. Shredding on a super-strat to 80's Hair Metal is a far cry from a blues-rock trio, you know?

Hell yeah! I was also turned onto Kotzen's music in the same way, Dream Theater led me to Winery Dogs and after hearing him coupled with Sheehan and Portnoy I'd say it's still some of the best music i've heard released relatively recently. you should check out their show here if you haven't already kzread.info/dash/bejne/fp9_pMV-hpqbh6g.html Perfection from start to finish.

If Chuck Norris had a Favorite Guitarists and Singer,Ritchie Kotzen is Him…

Richie = amazing composer, guitarist & singer!

Richie Kotzen discards the pick & creates a monster player!!! Shred with taste!!!

This is the best version of this song I have heard, by far... Stripped back to its bare bones. Love it! What a performance!

Ritchie is one of the best still have it ... keep rockin man

Here I go playing the fool again... yeah I am, I am, I am Tired and broken by the changing hands Missing what I never had Not a dream not a thought not a one desire nothin' needed All the fear, all the loss, all the pain in me has all faded I'm losin' sleep for the last time I'm in too deep it's no surprise So here I go playin' the fool again... yeah I am, I am, I am Tired and broken by the changing hands Missin' what I never had I shoulda known by the jaded past Times can change but nothing lasts I never thought of being fooled again but I am, I am, I am Not a lie, not a fight, won't be traumatized by my anger... not too strong, not too weak I can't turn around for a stranger I feel the heat, I'm tempted still I can't be led by your own will

Fantastic guitar and vocals . He should be a major star here in America !

The truth is “he shreds without a pick”

Everything about this song is completely and totally "right". Amazing!

Richie Kotzen is a enigma!!! The greatest thing is that a guy from the USA is a left foot wah pedal user considering that when driving a clutch pedal is a stranger to possibly 95% of the USA!!? Anyhow,he's certainly AWESOME player who has a good voice!!!

This band is just awesome and Richie is one of the guys who doesn`t play country on a Telecaster.THANXfor that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck! One of the fiercest guitar solos of all time!

Hugely hugely hugely underrated band. Such a king. Can just see he comes from a different generation of musicians. Reminds me a little of Myles Kennedy

very beautiful!!! Brasilian here!!!

One of the best guitar man in the world!

Let's not ignore the subtle bass fills throughout. Great players all around

Sheer brilliance. This borders on perfection.

Such a killer song. Richie Kotzen is the master !! Thank you for having him in the studio!

Of course the trade off with Richie not giving into record company pressures, is that his phenomenal talent is as widely appreciated as it should be. Hopefully the Winery Dogs will do that a bit more. He deserves international acclaim!!!!!

Nice solid drumming as well..great feel

Great music!...what a kickass in your face guitar tone!...

Heard of him before but listened to him for the first time today. AWESOME SOUND! Great guitars and vocals! Going to have to check more of him out!

Ahhh... Ok, first time I've heard or seen him. I just know the "Richie Kotzen" signature Telecaster. Which is Bad-arse, BTW! So is his music, I must say, now that im hearing it. It's great to see: high quality medium rock, but a touch on the hard side. I don't even know who to compare him to, in today's wasteland of organic, musical instrument driven music ! Good show! Far more accessible as a man than Mayer!

If you like shred guitar, check his first 2 solo albums. Fusion? Check his work with Vertu and Greg Howe. Hairband? Check his work with Poison's Native Tongue album. Hard Rock? Check his 2 albums with Mr. Big. If you want a little bit of progressive hard rock check his work with Billy Sheehan and Mike Portnoy as "The Winery Dogs". Richie had it all, the chops, the vocals etc.

Richie is beyond the greartest since Jimmy page !! He warms you! He makes u feel the guitar, every note, his voice, everything!!!!... No other guitar player can u feel the way richie does!! It is Journey without anything extra! Just music. Just him!

Outstanding!!! RK holding back, love it!

One of the best!! Too bad that he is underrated. An awesome guitarist, vocalist and composer....Simply PERFECT!!! and love him!!!

Ritchie is so damn good... I think I am at the point where I can honestly now say he is the best. It's taken me years to get here. I have lots of respect for the guy too - by all indication he is doing his thing and has been for years without regard or selling his soul to the big record companies since going solo. A true artist makes works he is happy with, it becomes an actual extension of themselves and thus resonates in ways it otherwise can't. Sure Ritchie could make more "radio friendly" or mainstream powerhouse material - but that would mean less time for him to put together truly masterful work. Ritchie can literally shred while keeping a soulful vibe going way beyond a level of anyone else I can think of - all while delivering excellent lead vocals with a Chris Cornellish vibe (while still being unique). Ritchie truly has unique style all his own that only he can really do and can't be emulated - that is a sign of greatness and a truly artist in my book Take the throne Ritchie - you are the true living king of modern rock guitar. Doesn't matter if everyday people don't know who you are - the serious guitarists do and that's all that matters.

that makes me respect him even more. I've watched a bunch of his older vids after seeing these sessions (first time i heard of him) I think his music has gotten better with time and this line up is just killer! thanks for the info i didn't know about his bio. so glad he never gave into record label b.s. it def. shows in his music.

This guy has ALWAYS been a beast.

Me encanta!!

I LOVE the simplicity of that drum kit! Proof that LESS IS MORE!!

I love the Two Tone Sessions!! get to see them Llive with excellent video and Sound... They play best together as a trio..

Amazing Man. Great musician. Super vocals.

Came into Richie just a week ago, but cant stop listening non stop. God damnit this guy blows me away. Tele all the way!

Que sonzeira.... saudações do Brasil!

Esse cara toca de mais! Essa banda é espetacular!

The one and only ....the master! Bravo!!!

This is kickass, the tastiest original rock fusiony stuff I've ever heard.

never get tired of listening to RK's music.

Great singing. Great player. Nuff said.

just as great now as 10 years ago..freaking brilliant

That was amazing.

Amazing!!!!!!!!💛💙

Man , Kotzen ! All I can say is In Cre Dible ! This dude has it all , guitar mastery , vocal range and uniqueness! And the band is just as masterful ! If not better ! Ridiculous how good these guys r ! And , in comparison, as good as they r , their recognition in no way can do them justice ! They deserve all of it ! Great job Ritchie and company , I’m an old coot from the eighties n play guitar myself , and u and ur band has been a diamond in a sea of untalented promotion poster kids ! Please keep on rockin! Straight good jammin hard rock will never die , in part thanks to you ! And Thank U !

Love it.....that's a real musician for sure.

Continuem trazendo monstros! RK e Rafael Moreira! Yeaaah
