As a Chris Cornell fan AND a Kotzen fan...Since Cornells passing I have always wanted Soundgarden/ Audioslave to do a tribute tour with Kotzen at the helm. Kotzen is an unbelievable musician who would ABSOLUTELY nail it and the ONLY person who would 100% do it justice. CHEERS to ALL
@leejustiss6331 I didn't know that. Kotzen did do a song for a tribute toSoundgarden...as expected it was awesome. You can probably Google it. CHEERS 🍻
@Kinseliplier I will look into this Vincent guy. Actually I have heard Kotzen sing a Soundgargen song as a mini tribute and he did indeed NAIL it. Thanks. CHEERS
@@littlejohnnyconspiracytheo5315 ummm...I’m not the one who said “only Chris could”. You might want to redirect that to the right person. I know reading is hard. Also it’s “you’re”.
We don't know...there must be some (more or less) hidden talents out there. Years ago I've watched a video of a Soundgaren (or Audioslave) cover band...I don't remember the band's name anymore...but the singer was totally amazing.
M.L. Crow Sure, there are many amazing singers, songwriters and players out there. I’m just not familiar with many/any that have really, truly, totally nailed a Cornell cover. And the biggest of big names have tried. Kotzen is the only guy I’ve seen really do it.
Richie kotzen is a musical giant. He should be in the rock and roll hall of fame just for his solo work. Man he is my inspiration to save up for a telecaster
Ritchie is amazing. He could definitely please audiences with a tribute to Chris. I must also comment, that is the deadest crowd I’ve seen in years. Such talent on stage needs to be appreciated during the song like they are asking for, not just the ending.
Dude! This is unbelievable. Richie Kotzen is more Chris Cornell than Cris.. I thought people are just exaggerating but when I listen to both their live versions I got goosebump how Richie's vocals is so consistent and clean. if you close your eyes you would think Chris is singing. And they both have similar facial features.
Wow, I always wondered what it would sound like for Richie to cover a Chris Cornell song. Too bad it had to be under these circumstances. And, as advertised, sounds JUST LIKE him.
Nano B truly amazing talent Chris was... very sad.. saw Richie in May... Best concert I've ever attended by far... Incredible band as well.. Richie literally didn't miss a note.. and the Winery dogs are still a band.. according to the man.. 👊🏼
Richie sounds identical to Chris. He is Fucking Fantastic and is a mastery guitar virtuous. He does not use a guitar pick but he plays by hand. Richie's voice is Absolutely Amazing and he can sing any type of music, hard rock, blues, and love songs. Listen yo him sing Sara Smiles from Darrell Hall and John Oates, and Fooled Around and Fell In Love by Elvin Bishop. This guy Rocks!!!!! And Georgous to boot.
Anyone saying that Richie copied Chris Cornell, is wrong, because Richie released his first album in 1988, and so did Soundgarden on a small label. Neither one of them knew of each other. Richie is from the Northeast, and chris is from the northwest obviously. it’s just a fluke that they sound so similar. But Richie is actually a soul singer that likes to sing rock, and chris is a grunge singer!
Not to mention if anyone listens to them both speak in an interview it's evident that their tone is what they were born with. They can't help that they have a few common characteristics.
To all of those people saying Kotzen is going to join Soundgarden/Audioslave: I'm highly certain he never will. He's expressed alot of regret at playing with Poison, because he basically hated playing other people's music. If you follow the Winery Dogs or his solo career you'd know that as much as he is a singer and guitarist, he's also a songwriter at heart. RIP Cornell though. You'll be missed.
You're right with it probably not happening but because Soundgarden is probably done sadly. In an interview though Richie said he would be honored if he was asked, and would be a bit of a fool if he said no to it. So Richie probably would do it, if Soundgarden ever wanted to do it.
Oh my Lord, I am totally blown over! Ritchie's voice sounds almost identical to Chris. My gosh, he could definitely take the lead for Soundgarden. I am so impressed and during the song my mouth dropped because he sounds so much like Chris. Chris would be impressed and very happy about the performance of this song.
If you're an SG or CC fan you can definitely tell some difference between Ritchie and Chris' voice. But man, Ritchie does come close to Chris' voice. Soundgarden and Audioslave should do some gigs with this guy
Richie is a great singer, but he is also a guitar genius. It would be difficult to share stage with Tom Morello, since Richie loves to play the guitar.
Renato Arauz, I don't think that it would work out, because Chris' wife, Vicki is Very Controlling and has Fits of Rage when she does not get her way, and she is a Bully. Ask Tom Morello about the airline flight when he and Vicki got into it. He will tell you what she is like that she is mentally unstable and a total Bitch. I would absolutely hate it for Richie and the band to get cought up with Vicki's insanity and bullshit.
Probably the closest we will ever have to the actual Chris Cornell singing this song! He did it great justice. Can't be an easy song to sing by any means!!
I really hope the guys call Richie and say... lets do it, lets do it for Chris and for the fans that he loved, pick up the flag and bugger on! Richie is the only great replacement to pick up that flag for Soundgarden.
Versão matadora! Um show tributo completo com do Soundgarden/Audioslave com Kotzen nos vocais seria incrível. Obs: Pena que neste vídeo estavam tocando manequins ....
SOYYO666 Wrong. This is definitely a tribute to Chris. Tom points to the sky and looks up right before the band kicks in to the song. Pretty obvious what he’s doing. Cornell died on 5/18/17. This show took place on 5/20/17.
@@jondubb35 Nah, this happened a couple years before Chris died. Kotzen and Morello regurally jammed at the Bowling Alley in LA and there are videos of them doing it wth Nuno Bettencourt also. Chris is has been said by Morello and Matt Cameron loved these versions and was jealous that Kotzen could hold the scream longer, jockingly.
Richie is all round musician, give him mic he will blast vocal into it, give him electric guitar he will fingerstyle it, give him accoustic he will pick 'em. But i prefer he is guitar hero.
As a Chris Cornell fan AND a Kotzen fan...Since Cornells passing I have always wanted Soundgarden/ Audioslave to do a tribute tour with Kotzen at the helm.

He turned them both down !
@leejustiss6331

No he's not. Anthony Vincent clearly Sounds identical to Chris Cornell
@Kinseliplier
I will look into this Vincent guy. Actually I have heard Kotzen sing a Soundgargen song as a mini tribute and he did indeed NAIL it.
Thanks.
CHEERS
@@duanewright1412 you should also look up Chris Liepes Chris Cornell Covers. He sounds Exactly like him too.
OK THIS IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO COULD PULL THIS OFF !
RG Garcia Myles Kennedy
RG Garcia damn right he’s the only one who can sing like Chris
Ian Thornley
Doubt we'll ever see him cover one of Chris's songs but yeah, Ian would slay.
@@stevec7435
His voice is too thin.
It's so weird see Kotzen without a guitar on his hands
Fact is he cant pull this off with a guitar in his hands ...only Chris could
@@zeycain2360 fact is you’re a complete idiot cause you can’t do neither

Soooooooo weird.
Probably the only person that can cover this song and sound like the original! Wow! Richie is the man!
Doesn't really sound like the original. Kotzen's and Cornell's voices are very similar...but not identical (obviously)...whatever...I really dig it.
And Me
Ian Thornley is another one who can sound kinda similar.

Dude absolutely shreds in the most tasteful way.. and all with no pick!!
Back in the early 90s Kotzen was the inspiration for my guitarist to swop from Charvel to a Tele.
Ritchie is amazing. He could definitely please audiences with a tribute to Chris.
I must also comment, that is the deadest crowd I’ve seen in years. Such talent on stage needs to be appreciated during the song like they are asking for, not just the ending.
Wow that just blew me away. He nailed it. Hes a bad ass musician always been a fan
Damn, that long scream, killer!!!
I always thought that Richie sounds a hell of a lot like Chris.
Dan Luna lots of ppl do
@@d.j.6694 NO
Some others would say Cornell sounds like Kotzen...whatever...yeah, they have similar voices.
How did I found out bout this just today, as a big fan of audioslave and richie.. awesomeness 👍👍👍
Same! And Portnoy in this hahaha
Same here
Iam okay with Richie singing for soundgarden amazing
This is the only fill-in that has ever done justice to Chris's voice.
I always wanted Ritchie to do a cover of Chris's songs......The only person who sounds like Chris...RIP Chris Cornell
he even looks a lot like Cornell
What a lineup! 😳
Kotzen
Morello
Sheehan
Portnoy
#allstars
God! How could I have nerver seen this video? Amazing!
This guy is so awesome on guitar, with his voice...mamma mia
3:01 dammmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnn dude can sing.
Chills!
Ritchie is unreal
I saw a Richie Kotzen video live and said "HOLY CRAP THIS GUY NEEDS TO GET INTO SG or AS..." and here he is... i'm SO glad this happened
I'm blown away. He sounds amazing. It's very sad at the same time.
Dude! This is unbelievable. Richie Kotzen is more Chris Cornell than Cris.. I thought people are just exaggerating but when I listen to both their live versions I got goosebump how Richie's vocals is so consistent and clean. if you close your eyes you would think Chris is singing.

Jajajaja increíble its true
Why isn't just titled The Winery Dogs and Tom Morello?
Wow, I always wondered what it would sound like for Richie to cover a Chris Cornell song. Too bad it had to be under these circumstances. And, as advertised, sounds JUST LIKE him.

no puede ser más zarpada está versión!!!! grande Tom!!! grande Billie, Richie, Portnoy gracias Chris!!!!!
I knew ittttt 🌺🙏🏾❤️
Wow …. Always thought there were similarities between Chris and Richie but ….. DAMN!! …… more than nailed it!!!
I got chills -
If there's ever a chance for a SG or Audioslave reunion, Richie is the man!!
sbrave. It'll never happen.
They are done
That perfect scream!
ALWAYS NEW RICH SOUNDED LIKE CHRIS!
Bravo!
Awesome! There are no words to describe this!
Oh my Lord, I am totally blown over! Ritchie's voice sounds almost identical to Chris. My gosh, he could definitely take the lead for Soundgarden. I am so impressed and during the song my mouth dropped because he sounds so much like Chris. Chris would be impressed and very happy about the performance of this song.
you mean Audioslave
Chris was, this is before he passed away. He said he was shocked that Richie held the note as long as he did, cause he couldnt do it live like that.
It would be cool to see either Audioslave or Soundgarden tribute concert for Chris with Richie
Great performance!
2:59 nailed it
Yeah, he freaking did
Fuck ya he did.
my favorite musicians
Fuck yea!
Soundgarden and Audioslave should get Ritchie Kotzen that was awesome
great tribute...
We want more this
Amazing! this is so sick!! Chris Cornell never left us in the person of his twin Richie Kotzen!
Excellent. Love me since Richie. I'm sure this made CC happy. 🙏🏻💖🕊
❤
Increible,un ex dream theather ,un expoison, un exmrbig,un exaudislave,resultado: esta obra de arte!!
What a cool performance! Never seen this. Richie’s voice sure does sound like Chris’
OMG......perfect Love Kotzen.... RIP Cornell
If you're an SG or CC fan you can definitely tell some difference between Ritchie and Chris' voice.
But man, Ritchie does come close to Chris' voice. Soundgarden and Audioslave should do some gigs with this guy
Caramba que voz!!!
Crazy good!!
That was awesome!
Soundgarden should thinking about to recruit Ritchie Kotzen shall soundgarden live forever, their face almost the same both Good guitar player
great crowd......
Amazing
YES!!!!!!!
Wow!
this is POWERFULL AND HAUNTING !!
why do people want soundgarden to reform, that was Chris Cornell's band..let it rest.
prusso09 Soundgarden is my favorite band and I hope that will never happen. No Chris no Soundgarden
I felt the same way about Zeppelin. Would only go see them if Jason was drumming. ✌🏼🍀
this is badass!
get kotze to sing in soundgarden
Richie is a great singer, but he is also a guitar genius. It would be difficult to share stage with Tom Morello, since Richie loves to play the guitar.

César Meneses Tom Morello is not in Soundgarden
very nice boys!
Probably the closest we will ever have to the actual Chris Cornell singing this song! He did it great justice. Can't be an easy song to sing by any means!!
LP should do this kind of stuff with the guy from their tribute band,
chris cornell live in this guy richie kotzhen \m/
Nope.. will never be another Chris Cornell, I dont care how hard they try to replace him, Chris is 100% unreplaceable
he dont try to replace him,stupid,it's just a cover....kotzen is to genius to join audioslave
he is great by himself
Very nice
Kotzen Sounds killer
I really hope the guys call Richie and say... lets do it, lets do it for Chris and for the fans that he loved, pick up the flag and bugger on!
Richie is the only great replacement to pick up that flag for Soundgarden.
Wow. Rock on!
with this video quality, if you dont see the title, youll think this is Audioslave reunion with Mike Portnoy on drum and Billy on bass
From this far away I wouldn’t have even been able to tell…
sounds good i like it
Kotzen is tenor
Versão matadora! Um show tributo completo com do Soundgarden/Audioslave com Kotzen nos vocais seria incrível.
Obs: Pena que neste vídeo estavam tocando manequins ....
Soundgarden with Kotzen on guitar whould be mind blowing!
Shit, Kotzen does an amazing job...he sounds damn similar to Chris! Chris will always be Chris though, RIP
Would love to see Richie front Audioslave
mike portnoy is a beast!
Nice!
Wow...
Everybody remembers when Audioslave first appeared, right? It felt like being a kid again, it felt like there was hope.
The first album was legendary, 2nd and 3rd were Okish
Damn ritchie
I would go see SG if they get Ritchie.
Richie in the middle play lead guitar, winery dog ft morelo
No one sings like you anymore. RIP, Chris.
i admitt
If i was Soundgarden corp. I would be making Ritchie a sweet offer.
This is not a tribute.... it happened way before Chris's suicide.
tribute show would be cool, for suicide prevention or somethen
SOYYO666 Wrong. This is definitely a tribute to Chris. Tom points to the sky and looks up right before the band kicks in to the song. Pretty obvious what he’s doing. Cornell died on 5/18/17. This show took place on 5/20/17.

to quote other comment: a tribute show of Audioslave /Soundgarden with Richie for suicide prevention would be amazing
You cannot prevent suicide if people get 'suicided'.
Is Chochise the B-side to Cochise?
A lost and forgotten relative of Cochise.

why not to reunion Audioslave with Richie Kotzen on voc? Joke :) Do not even think about this! Chris was one and only.
sure i want this fuckin line up for new band plz.. there are truly bad as musician🙌🔥
kotzen should tour with the prophets of rage, then it would really be the best of both worlds
