Ritchie sounds like Chris Cornell and plays like Eric Johnson on speed. Insane talent. Wish Rush were still touring, would love to see these two trios tour... a musician's dream.
+Trent Hogan I must gently add. :) Richie sounds unique, plays unique... too much underrated around the world, for such a talent. Btw, TWD is any musician's dream. definitely! God bless us all, forever!
As a bassist I absolutely am blown away how Sheehan only seems to get better by the year. Whenever he does his mind blowing solos you'll hear some snob say "bass is about groove" 😂😂. The man (and rest of this band) is the epitome of syncopated grooving. One other point of observation. That trade off between the guitar solo and lead bass is about as perfect as you can get and they can hack it LIVE.
Just saw them live Wednesday night and watching him blew me away. I always knew he was great but not that great. I was literally 5 feet from him. It was crazy. I was there to see my boy Mike Portnoy.
TRUTH.. Billy seems to be tyhe basist version of dick clark he gets older ( has to) but we dont see it cant tell he destroys today like he did 35 y ago.... I just saw them play in Ventura Ca. in May they were killin it.
Sir Ritchie Kotzen, one of the best guitarists ever. Now I just discovered he just have an super epic vocals. Damn, fatality. Sir Billy Sheehan, this guy is THE BASSIST that makes most other guitar players in the world envious. I play guitar and I know that generally never happens lol. And Sir Mike Portnoy, awesome to see you in this soon to be legendary Trio.
usually i would write '' come to slovenia please'' but now that i heard the whole album and seen this video i'm just like fu** it just come to europe i'll go anywhere :D
I would NEVER purposefully search for any of the guys in this band to see what they are up to as an old school prog metal enthusiast from back in the day. All I can say is WOW what an ass I have become. Finally taking all of that technical playing and making a great song of it!!! Great job guys. You have earned a big fan!
What you said! I got to watch them in Nashville for my birthday in April. I want to see them again. Three bad mofos! Richie is one of the best in the world. He's my fav guitarist.
This guy is awesome... The voice is raspy enough to kinda reminds me of Rod Stewart. He is magnificent. The drummer is fantastic and so are the Guitar players. Believe it or not I am a oldies and Praise & Worship music, But these guys...Gotta have more... Love them...
Ritchie is a double threat. I remember as a kid, Mike Varney sharing Ritchie's demos with me. After being blown away with his playing Mike goes "oh yeah, and that's him singing too". I wanted to give up right then and there!
I never really heard much of Ritchie Kotzen. I only knew of him as the fill in for CC Deville when he left Poison. Then I heard the first Winery Dogs album. Wow this dude can play and sing. Great band and songs.
First of all, instant fan. Just found this band and the first thought I had was how much this guy sounds like Chris Cornell. Everyone seems to be pointing that out, lol. I don't think they should, but if they ever did want to continue, Soundgarden should call this dude.
Came to me in the middle of the darkest night I don't know if i was screaming or i got to hide All my demons are closer Lying blind but my eyes are open wide From the darkness, to the light, to the place I die Wake me up when it's over I am off the edge and now I am somewhere in oblivion And my walls are breaking through Out of my head and now i am somewhere in oblivion All because of you Came to me, find the shadows to reset my mind Right me up now i fell like i'm doing time And i don't know her I am off the edge and now I am somewhere in oblivion And my walls are breaking through Out of my head and now I am somewhere in oblivion All because of you I am off the edge and now i am somewhere in oblivion And my walls are breakingthoruh Out of my head and now i am somewhere in oblivion All because of you
Kick ASS BAND each member with a pedagree that is impeckable!! The live in Japan concert is just top shelf the videographer and audio engineers should be given awards as well! If you like G3 you'll love this band!
Love Mr. Big, Mike Portnoy was the drummer that made be interested in drums, Billy Sheehan is my ñ. 1 fav bassist and I love power trios. No wonder why Winery Dogs fits perfectly into all that. Checking their concert tomorrow for the first in CT 🙏🙌👏
Like watching a master sculptor, painter and architect collaborate on the same project in real time while sprinting full speed on a balance beam. One side of your brain is in awe of the intricacy and beauty of each artist's respective contributions while the other side is freaking out thinking someone's gonna screw up and crash. ... gotta love it.
First time I listened to this album was one night after work, I waited all day long to listen to it and when I finally did, on the bus ride home, and when the intro kicked in, I think my pupils literally dilated and I started laughing from the pure musical epicness and rockin-brutality of this song and the MAD skills combined in this wizard-like trio. Then I noticed Billy's bass, and I was like WHAT?? THAT'S A BASS?? PLAYED BY ONE MAN?? Richie's licks like he's on cocaine, and then Portnoy just doesn't give those drums a break... I just couldn't stop laughing at how ridiculously good they are, and how heart-rate-boosting this is. It's just so good that it's funny; it's like they said: "let's make a song but lets just do "solos" all over the song, but all three together and sing over it".. that's how f***in good this is... damn...
This is exactly why I dont watch any music awards shows.Its all based on album sales. Not talent.These guys are incredible musicians. What instrument does Kanye play? Oh yeah, the microphone...
@Cire Rednulk Kim won’t be playing his skin flute anymore that’s for sure. Either way I just discovered Richie Kotzen recently I gotta say I should be kicking my own ass for not finding out about him or the Winery Dogs sooner.
Kanye is probably not the best example, you can find plenty of tapes of him producing his own beats and stuff, and his influence in hiphop is astronomical. You can’t really compare the two of them, this is a band full of virtuoso musicians who make amazing music for a niche group of listeners, and Kanye makes music for the masses, something to sing along and dance to, and there is nothing wrong with that either. Let people enjoy whatever they want to, both of them make great music, yes this is more technical, but the point is for you, the listener, to enjoy it.
This video contains everything that a man who loves rock wants. monstrous prodigies playing drums, maniacs with tremendous technical playing bass guitar, guitar gods playing phantom notes at breakneck speed and girls with pierced nipples. yeah!
Wow...I am watching this for the first time and the first thing that comes to mind... "Revelations" by Audioslave. Very reminiscent! The structure, the tone, the voice! Cool stuff!
To the 723 people who gave this a thumbs down, what the fuck is the matter with you? This song is such a breath of fresh air. By far, the best shit i've heard in years. Way to go brothers and please keep doing what you are doing. Musicianship at it's finest, years of dedication and mastering your craft. If given the chance I would very much like to shake your hands for a fantastic piece of work. thank you so very much for this!
Way to go, focus on the negative. That’s exactly what these social media websites want you to do, and you played right into it. All that does is prove that you go into things looking for something to be mad about. Fuck, I’m glad you can’t see the number of dislikes anymore. Get a life.
@@Rountree1985 You know what? You are exactly right. On the other hand, go fuck yourself. What the fuck is some idiot like you doing on here in the first place? That's what comment's are for, dumb ass. If you knew jack shit about shredding music you could see that these three guy's are a phenomenon indeed. So, stop worrying about what other people are doing and focus on yourself, oh, that's probably a bad idea also.
@@Therealgamer-js2sb I mean I like Chris Cornell too, but Richie is definitely leagues above him with his vocal control in melismatic singing and range.
Another group with A-level talent that will never escape the C-list because today's music biz consists of teens making synthetic pop and hip hop. Yes, I know I sound like an old man. (And I am one, too.) ;-)
I dig it all the way man. All three musicians are some of the best at their craft. Buy the album and support these guys. You will not be disapointed. all the songs are killer.
people .. do ur research. Kotzen sounds like Kotzen ... he has been doing this for along time now!!! N yes!!! He is amazing!!! Keep doing what u do Richie!!!
Talented Billy Sheehan keeping it all together on the bass!
Love him, I am studying his bass technique now!
Remember him in a band called Talas seen him all the time...
This is absolutely insane on all fronts. Top notch musicianship all around
Ritchie sounds like Chris Cornell and plays like Eric Johnson on speed. Insane talent. Wish Rush were still touring, would love to see these two trios tour... a musician's dream.
+Trent Hogan Yea, first time hearing this band and Cornell was my instant thought.
+Trent Hogan I also thought Ritchie was Cornell the first time I listened to these guys! This man has an incredible voice (and talent in general!!).
+Trent Hogan I must gently add. :)
Richie sounds unique,
plays unique...
too much underrated around the world,
for such a talent.
Btw, TWD is any musician's dream. definitely!
God bless us all, forever!
You´re right ..just like CC and like Eric Johnson, I thought the same...! But with his unique´s Ritchie style =)
yeahh really it's the Chris Cornell voice ! and a big guitarist !
Best hard rock trio currently
As a bassist I absolutely am blown away how Sheehan only seems to get better by the year. Whenever he does his mind blowing solos you'll hear some snob say "bass is about groove" 😂😂.

HUGE facts here
There is so much talent in these three that most bands can’t even touch

Michal Senk lol yeah !
+Hamladji Hamou Hell yeah!
+นิพนธ์ ล้อมวงษ์ ;)
+Hamladji Hamou you spelled it right
Holy moly I must have been living under a rock, I knew Richie Kotzen could shred but I had no idea he could sing like that. Wow.
If that's the case, listen to his solo albums and you'll be in for a ride! 😉
Listen to 'You Can't Save Me'.
It's not fair for someone to have that kind of guitar talent and skill and also have such a killer rock voice on top of it. Jealous any??? LOL
+Silver Jag Yeah and he also plays keyboards, bass, drums, theremin, mandolin and banjo crazy good... :D
+Silver Jag Dude he is incredible...I saw these guys live a few week ago and Richie sounded amazing live.
+Silver Jag Great Writer, as well.
+Silver Jag He is playing a beautiful Tele though.
+Silver Jag You forgot "gorgeous and great sense of humor." Richie Kotzen, Rock God for Our Times!
The cymbal choke at 1:59 is just badass and nasty; choking it and then slamming it hard! Ughh!! Rock on!!
Mike is looking healthy and happy. I'm glad that he's having a good time with TWD.
it's refreshing to hear progressive driven in metal/rock music that isn't djent.
exactly. can't stand djent
usually i would write '' come to slovenia please'' but now that i heard the whole album and seen this video i'm just like fu** it just come to europe i'll go anywhere :D
if they do, you need to go, I saw them a few months ago her in the states and they were fantastic
Im gonna go see richie kotzen on friday 28.6 in 2 days, on the ljubljana castle :D
r c bit late, huh? ^^
Man this band has cajones!great riffs leads transitions and if course Ritchie Kotzens lead vocals rock!
This is how you do music
+Petra Marbun Yess, now tell that to Justin Bieber..
objetibely this is "more" music than much others
when the problem isnt the melody and becomes the tempo
Damn right.

All I can say is WOW what an ass I have become. Finally taking all of that technical playing and making a great song of it!!! Great job guys. You have earned a big fan!
Portnoy is the definition of the word "drummer!" I'm blown away by the level of talent in this trio!
Have you seen the young Korean girl drumming to oblivion?
I love this band - even MP would say he's influenced by the greatest Neil Peart.
@@mackydog99 she's great, but have you seen Danny Carey | "Pneuma" by Tool (LIVE IN CONCERT) ?
Can you "see" how stupid he is? 🤣
What you said! I got to watch them in Nashville for my birthday in April. I want to see them again. Three bad mofos! Richie is one of the best in the world. He's my fav guitarist.
This is a dream team, and Kotzen's voice... Man, awesome!!!
Richie the best guitar/vocals prodigy of the universe!
The range Ritchie has…and the skill of them all…I pray to see them play one day…
The perfect combination of talent, sound, silences, and musical composition in one band!!!
This guy is awesome... The voice is raspy enough to kinda reminds me of Rod Stewart. He is magnificent. The drummer is fantastic and so are the Guitar players. Believe it or not I am a oldies and Praise & Worship music, But these guys...Gotta have more... Love them...
Killer riffs & his vocals remind me of Chris Cornell. Keep Rockin' Richie!!!!!!
The literal first thought I had as well. It was spooky haha
There is a bit of Coverdale in there as well
Ritchie is a double threat. I remember as a kid, Mike Varney sharing Ritchie's demos with me. After being blown away with his playing Mike goes "oh yeah, and that's him singing too". I wanted to give up right then and there!
When I first started playing rock live, I played a telecaster with EMG pickups. People couldn't believe how good it sounded. I loved it.
Watching these men play their instruments is like watching a masterpiece being created. They're all so damned talented!
This band was the best thing that happened to rock and roll in this decade.
I never really heard much of Ritchie Kotzen. I only knew of him as the fill in for CC Deville when he left Poison. Then I heard the first Winery Dogs album. Wow this dude can play and sing. Great band and songs.

I don't think they should, but if they ever did want to continue, Soundgarden should call this dude.
just a simple man, no one you'll ever know who loves this sound, thank you for a life time of great music. God bless.
This guys came to Mexico and they were spectacular!!!, fucking sound was amazing !!!!!
Ritchie's voice and guitar skill, Billy's AWESOMENESS, and Mike's skills....damn, these guys are insane!!!
Awesome group! Seriously can't get enough of their music and so glad they are continuing to make fantastic music
The legendary Richie Kotzen, friend of Jason Becker, another living legend. Thanks for blow my mind again with this stunning music.
Keep the great work Ritchie your voice is amazing! Portnoy Rocks!
One of the greats off of Hot Streak where all talents of the trio shine forth!
Quel trio magique !!!
His voice has so many elements, jazz, rock, Motown...
Came to me in the middle of the darkest night
I don't know if i was screaming or i got to hide
All my demons are closer
Lying blind but my eyes are open wide
From the darkness, to the light, to the place I die
Wake me up when it's over
I am off the edge and now I am somewhere in oblivion
And my walls are breaking through
Out of my head and now i am somewhere in oblivion
All because of you
Came to me, find the shadows to reset my mind
Right me up now i fell like i'm doing time
And i don't know her
I am off the edge and now I am somewhere in oblivion
And my walls are breaking through
Out of my head and now I am somewhere in oblivion
All because of you
I am off the edge and now i am somewhere in oblivion
And my walls are breakingthoruh
Out of my head and now i am somewhere in oblivion
All because of you
And I don't even know her ??

OMG the greatest power trio in the "modern" music era !! they kick arses really hard !!!!
Album of the year!!!
Seen Winery Dogs last nite @ NYC's Sony Hall..what a Show!!!
Words aren't enough to describe how good this is...

One side of your brain is in awe of the intricacy and beauty of each artist's respective contributions while the other side is freaking out thinking someone's gonna screw up and crash.
... gotta love it.
Saw these guys live last night. They sound just as good live, if not better.
Skill and balls. Everything is perfect: singing, virtuoso playing and top quality production.
These three legends formed a band together and I didn't know about it until now.
A perfect cocktail of technique and soul into an explosive mix!!!...as result a cool and never boring style...these three guys could play everything!
Such a strong group. Everything clicks so well with these guys. Really hoping for the third album in the not-too-distant future!
took a time but it's coming!
Billy is playing some sick riffs..freaking awesome

Everything any of these three touch is just golden... exceptional musicians
and even after 70 years, thanks again Leo. the Telecaster is still the most amazing guitar on earth...

Still hits as good in 2024 as it did in 2015.
This is exactly why I dont watch any music awards shows.Its all based on album sales. Not talent.These guys are incredible musicians. What instrument does Kanye play? Oh yeah, the microphone...
And his vocals are the same is any rapper: as a kid I was poor, now I'm not anymore.

A counter to people who hate technically complex songs..

jazz...fusion, disco, everything...he blends everything in and yet it still rocks...hard....

This is The Holy Grail of Rock!!
Richie, Mike, & Billy, are “Da Man”!
If I heard this in a bar, I wouldn't be able to tell if it's Richie Kotzen or Chris Cornell.
Don't blaspheme
you actually think cornell is the bigger talent?
I can tell them apart every time, though.
As vocal goes.. Chris Cornell is unmatched
you are so wrong, but this is why mainstream is bashed.
It shouldn't be possible, but these guys are even better live. Well worth the trip and price you pay.
a sound that reminds me, Mr Big, Chris Cornell, Dream Theater..... which wonderful sound's work....Great!!!
Total sound garden sound..and that's a good thing...these guys are amazing
kotzen has been amazing for generations.
Brilliant song - and what a voice to top off the outrageously good music!
Cream on the finest cake.
...and Richie Kotzen plays without a pick! How on Earth to you get that raunchy attack without a pick?
idk man, thats what ive been wondering with all the pickless blues players
Creating your own thecnic, thats how . in other words he his a fucking god of music
yup you are right , some people say you got more control on your guitar with your fingers ( just like the sultan of swing )
