I could never understand why this genius and absolute master of a musician is so underrated. He outplays and outsings so many of the so-called "guitar gods" and even most of the singers. The man has a strong groove, can shred your socks off, can play soulful blues lines and so much more. He should have been much more popular than he really is!
hey! an 11-year-old here, I started listening to your music when I first started to play guitar with my uncle and it was awesome! keep it up brother kotzen!
My god!!!! He is just TOO good for modern music. He should continue making amazing music for us who appreciate it and sell songs to new popstars for extra cash. This level of skill and mastery is breathtaking. Richie, you are my hero. Everything you have done is sheer class. Keep it up!!!!
..caralho.. sou puta fã desse cara... Monstro das 6 cordas... Um dos melhores e meus guitarristas prediletos: Richie korzen... Puta guitarrista ❤❤❤ ...sem falar da voz;... O CARA CANTA DEMAIS....
About 2:40 some sweet Beck sounds. If anyone can pull that off, I have never heard them. God bless this guy, for 30 years now he has been one of the greatest all around musicians in the world, song writing included. Thanks Richie.
what amazes me most is that he is the same bloke from the REH instructional guitar videos who i watched for many, many hours, back in the very early 90s. how much a guy can grown really. immense talent. started with the fever dream record and never looked back; I miss the oddball records thou; the fusion instrumentals, the R&B stuff, the blues/country-ish tracks etc.
just another example of a career with no ceiling. The Essential Richie Kotzen is a roller coaster ride through time and emotion. the perfect collection for the beginner just discovering this artist. Explore his last 25 years, you will be overwelmed and walk away thinking, this is whats wrong with american radio. not enough kotzen. music comes from the heart, mind and soul. he gets thats. the men and women in suits have not. "STAND FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE" \m/
I love his guitar style - at this point in his life as a mature, relaxed, total freaking badass. Not trying to prove anything at all. His sound and delivery are so unique.
The guy in the video looks like Nuno Bettencourt ^^ Richie is so incredible musician. The best thing about his guitar playing over the years is that he evolved from a shredder to absolute god tier musician with incredibely tasty licks and feeling. He is able to stop himself from going to shred-mode and expose only technique. Instead, he plays eargasmic licks over and over again. I can not wait any longer to see him play live again in Poland! You are truly my guitar idol, Richie.
The Essentials album is amazing, pure raw musicianship, Richie as always is flawless re-recording some of his songs in acoustic versions, it´s worth every single penny.
LOVE it ! RICHIE have a lot of hit songs! really classic rock funk songs !lots and lots !like high ,damage, you, walk with me, peace sign, 24hrs,faster etc etc etc cannibals what is wow! Where is the fuckin radio or MTV to promote this talented artist??? Sorry to still see that media is all about money thanks the internet and his hard work making more than 25 records till now and collaborations with mr big poison winery dogs put him is where is now touring all over the world !
Awesome song, so glad to hear new material from Richie Kotzen!! I like The Winery Dogs songs, but a little while ago I came up to the conclusion that Richie Kotzen's solo stuff is what I really, really like!
Amazing Song. Amazing feel. Here is a fretboard-wizard, who really plays FOR the song - not just WITH the song. Great Job, Richie. And the outro-solo just blows my mind. Awesome! A real musician spoke well. It doesnt get any better...
Been a fan since the 90’s always admired your talent it’s been a long road together and I’m glad your music has been a catalyst on my journey … thank you
Happy Birthday Richie without a T. Kotzen!!! Thanks for keepin' it real. Rock this year true and be totally you ~pure ♡ and soul....for miles... ROLL away that ROCK like only you can!! Thanks for the music, always, and the continued inspiration. Peace, blessings & much love for a kickass upcoming year !!! *xo
The man is simply one of the greats of all time. Think about all of the "Varney" guys. How many are still around in this capacity? I don't think Richie ever wanted to be one of those guys in the first place, but he was....but pushed the envelope on the term, "prodigy" further than was intended. He still does.
I like this song when, I first heard it... I just got some new headphones and Ugh, Wow! It sounds even better.. It is like a new song to me..! Advice: Have proper equipment! ;)
Take my days when building the me Old man struggle lifting his feet I'm not tied to you I'm not tied Wrapped up tight and won't let me go Tell myself I'm cuttin' the rope I'm not tired to you Cut me open, oh I wanna bury my feelings Until my mind escapes me I wear the war paint to fight off my daemons I'll tell them all to find me Honey, oh, honey, you'll never find me Could be free, but baby you scream All them vultures want you to bleed You're not tied to what they see There's still time, if you believe Take a second, maybe suddenly you'll see You're not tied, take it, take it from me, oh I wanna bury my feelings Until my mind escapes me I wear the war paint to fight off my daemons I'll tell them all to find me Don't you say good until it's over I wear…
Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.You had me at hello, Richie. Haven't seen you since Poison. I've got a lot of catching up to do. It's going to be a fun journey.

I agree. Haven’t heard rock and roll this good in years.
Because of the warped mentalty of today, people cant understand whats good or bad anymore
he's got a really great R&B background that really enhances his talent. you're so right
why can i only give one thumb up? this man is obviously god!
I've thinked the same since I knew his songs. I only know a couple of people who know him and like his music.
hey! an 11-year-old here, I started listening to your music when I first started to play guitar with my uncle and it was awesome! keep it up brother kotzen!
My god!!!! He is just TOO good for modern music. He should continue making amazing music for us who appreciate it and sell songs to new popstars for extra cash. This level of skill and mastery is breathtaking. Richie, you are my hero. Everything you have done is sheer class. Keep it up!!!!

Each time I listen to kotzen I don't understand something went wrong, Why this guy is not a super world wide rock star, more underrated musician ever
About 2:40 some sweet Beck sounds. If anyone can pull that off, I have never heard them. God bless this guy, for 30 years now he has been one of the greatest all around musicians in the world, song writing included. Thanks Richie.

started with the fever dream record and never looked back;
I miss the oddball records thou; the fusion instrumentals, the R&B stuff, the blues/country-ish tracks etc.
he started with arthurs museum, then richie kotzen, and then, fever dream.
My favorite Kotzen song
We are 2!

Never too late for this guy to get his due. Phenomenal artist.
I love his guitar style - at this point in his life as a mature, relaxed, total freaking badass. Not trying to prove anything at all. His sound and delivery are so unique.
Wow, just learning about this guy, he is absolutely amazing, and the winery dogs are phenomenal. Why there is not more hype around them is beyond me!!
Anything Richie does is top quality. Great stuff.
What a complete musician! Richie is definitely gifted who is an incredible song writer, guitar player and has an amazing voice!

You are truly my guitar idol, Richie.
I honestly don't know how anyone can "unlike" this song!
Brilliant storyline....I LOVE the ending...Richie coolness at its best!
Love these lyrics,...awesome song... this one is going to rock live!!
Wow Richie, your songcraft has gone through the ceiling! Dude, got it ALL goin' on!
The Essentials album is amazing, pure raw musicianship, Richie as always is flawless re-recording some of his songs in acoustic versions, it´s worth every single penny.
One of Richie's best lyrics ever. No compliment will ever be fair enough for this guy. Tickets bought for october in Brazil, can't wait!
I'm from Brazil and we all love Richie Kotzen, the best rockstar actually.
How come this guy isn't at the bestest top 100 Of all the time.
LOVE it ! RICHIE have a lot of hit songs! really classic rock funk songs !lots and lots !like high ,damage, you, walk with me, peace sign, 24hrs,faster etc etc etc cannibals what is wow!

Один из любимых мной гитаристов !!!
This deserves 100 million views the greatest triple threat in the world nothing but admiration for Richie Kotzen no one comes close
how come this song has got only 191,391 views? Music is f****d up all over the world. Love this music genius.
Awesome song, so glad to hear new material from Richie Kotzen!! I like The Winery Dogs songs, but a little while ago I came up to the conclusion that Richie Kotzen's solo stuff is what I really, really like!

Peace, blessings & much love for a kickass upcoming year !!! *xo
Awesome
one of my favorite songs from Ritchie, awesome!
this guy plays like Steve Vai & sings like Chris Cornell
i get what you're saying, but vai doesnt have this much soul to his playing
He is better vocalist than Chris Cornell all day long and songwriter
josh whitehead I agree, I get tired of the Chris Cornell comparisons. As talented as Cornell may be, he is no Richie Kotzen and it isn't even close!
Well its close on the signing and song writing but not on the musicianship and instrument playing.
trooper27 this guy doesnt play guitar like steve vai, he plays guitar as RICHIE KOTZEN
WHY THE HELL HAVEN'T I EVER HEARD OF THIS ANIMAL???? HOLY HEAVENS!!! THAT GUITAR!!!!
Awesome song ... I enjoy every one of his lyrics and guitar solo. Chile is waiting to hear it live. Wonderful work!!!
Damn, Richie is amazing... What to say more..
Im new to this artist .. I like the sound ..catchy and Good ..welcome to my play list mr kotzen👍
I missed this kind of song from Richie. Good to have you back
The man is simply one of the greats of all time. Think about all of the "Varney" guys. How many are still around in this capacity? I don't think Richie ever wanted to be one of those guys in the first place, but he was....but pushed the envelope on the term, "prodigy" further than was intended. He still does.
I like this song when, I first heard it... I just got some new headphones and Ugh, Wow! It sounds even better.. It is like a new song to me..! Advice: Have proper equipment! ;)
Nice song with deep lyrics. Great guitar/vocal work as usual.
Amazing! First time I meet Richie Kotzen it was 1992 and his Chype Fluxx from Gutar that rule the world. Prodigy!
Bring me that one richie video with no Chris Cornell comment :D :D
YES!!! great song, great video...Thumbs up!!!
Sounds like Billy is playing the bass. Love those guys!
fortunately not
More likely it's RK on the bass.
I think I'll never give up from this song and video.
thanks Richie.
This guy here got me into soul and RnB music. Opened my eyes right up haha. Thanks Richie boy!
OK Mr Kotzen.....You really set the bar high on this one. The song really grabs you, and holds on. Kudos to to Vicente Cordero also for great video..
The video gave me goosebumps: so visually simple, yet so powerful.
Melodic, masterful guitar playing, Richie just burns it down on everything he does...Thanks RKtMwtF...
Great song & video...Much respect Mr. Kotzen.
Take my days when building the me
Old man struggle lifting his feet
I'm not tied to you
I'm not tied
Wrapped up tight and won't let me go
Tell myself I'm cuttin' the rope
I'm not tired to you
Cut me open, oh
I wanna bury my feelings
Until my mind escapes me
I wear the war paint to fight off my daemons
I'll tell them all to find me
Honey, oh, honey, you'll never find me
Could be free, but baby you scream
All them vultures want you to bleed
You're not tied to what they see
There's still time, if you believe
Take a second, maybe suddenly you'll see
You're not tied, take it, take it from me, oh
I wanna bury my feelings
Until my mind escapes me
I wear the war paint to fight off my daemons
I'll tell them all to find me
Don't you say good until it's over
I wear…
