This guy is livin the dream in this video. Out in the boonies, enjoying playing guitar for its own sake, has enough fans to earn good money and play bigger clubs but not be bothered by paparazzi. I hope he comes to Vancouver one day. Play the Commodore Richie!
@@onetripwonders That's EVERY musicians dream! That's the career. It's as close to a guarantee of payment for good musicians as we're ever going to get.
Richie Kotzen should be and Rightfully should be considered among the best guitarist in the world. He has got the three essential ingredients: 1: He's got enough chops to make even the skeptic envious 2: His note selection and style is unique and very tasty 3: He always has a great tone. And oh yeah, he's a great singer and can and does play everything....Great.
Kotzen is been on the road for so long and hes the only one I see really changing things and showing brand new compositions. To be on the road composing the whole life is brillant but only real GOATs age their compositions like wine. Richie is the best guitarist on activity, dot.
Richie is a musician through and through! Who can you name nowadays that CONSTANTLY puts out new music, collaborates with others, tours and does it all on his own terms with such style?
By staying true to himself throughout his career, RK has become an absolute brilliant artist...& still continues to get better with each release. Nomad, the song & the whole record, is mind-blowing.
No, he doesn´t follow his heart! He is also part of the system. He signed a contract with the devil to hold humanity asleep. Really time to wake up, vibrate high and take a deep look into yourself... Sorry, but that´s how it is...🤷♂
@@fernandochaparrook Hey Fernando, thanks for asking. I'm sure about that because I question everything. There are crazy things in our lives. You see them when you open yourself up to them. To do that you have to step out of fear, let go of your traumas and find yourself. But this is a long, painful process. The world is not what it seems, find out, it's worth it...
Love this and love the whole album, it just gets better the more I play it. Love the clean Tele solos. I Enjoyed the video, rains a lot where I live. Was like a sunny hillside walk. Good boy Rusty 😎🦴
80s legend? His debut album was released August 1989. He had just 20 weeks before the 80s was done. Trust me, his status and reputation didn't kick in until the 90s.
always throwing a curve ball out there...that dark intro and main line just different but awesome with the bass runs in there and using a pick on the lead....a true chameleon Richie is...love you brother..be well as always..thanks for sharing.
Absolutely loved it! It amazes me how you can just keep on creating such great music. I've been a huge fan of you since the since the first album and you're still killing it! Would love another Smith/Kotzen album, Please!!!
Richie already said in an interview that a new Smith/Kotzen album is already finished, and he says there will be some sort of announcement about it before end of this year 👍🏼
I met you in Lorain a few weeks ago at your concert Oct 8th. I was hoping you'd play this! I forgot to tell you when we were talking b4 the show that I've had a band called Nomad Soul for the past 20 years. When I saw you named your album this, I freaked. 😂 I love all your songs, but this is my fav by far. ❤❤❤
Maybe he thought he should handicap himself, give everybody else a chance ... Just kidding. That's a very particular sound, and you aren't going to get that with fingers. I'm hearing a Steely Dan vibe.
Very interesting bass line behind those verses... and I totally dig it! Love that clean jazzy lead guitar as well. Cool song! Hope to see/hear ya in California's greater Bay Area soon. \m/.

Thinks it’s his yard, that’s his house in the background.
speaking of Living the Dream....one of the best songs on 50 for 50, which I am listening to currently, over and over...:)

Richie Kotzen is on a whole other level than anyone else.
Why is Richie still underrated? He is Living legend man!
Richie Kotzen should be and Rightfully should be considered among the best guitarist in the world. He has got the three essential ingredients: 1: He's got enough chops to make even the skeptic envious 2: His note selection and style is unique and very tasty 3: He always has a great tone. And oh yeah, he's a great singer and can and does play everything....Great.
I think he actually is, especially among The more metal among us. Would say hes as respected as Bill Frisell or Richie Sambora,
Kotzen is been on the road for so long and hes the only one I see really changing things and showing brand new compositions.
To be on the road composing the whole life is brillant but only real GOATs age their compositions like wine.
Richie is the best guitarist on activity, dot.
Unbelievably great guitar player. Awesome solo and picking technic.
EXCELENTE !!! , GRANDE RICHIE KOTZEN !! , TREMENDO !! SALUDOS DESDE CHILE !!
Richie Kotzen - Your favorite musicians, favorite musician.
Jesus Richie , talk about raising the creative bar and bringing the triple A plus game to the table … wtf !!! Salute !

Ese es un hombre que no ha corrompido su expresión artística. Esas notas hablan directo al alma.
Kotz be making that Fender REALLY SOUND LIKE A FENDER SHOULD!

I love how Richie doesn't follow trends, he follows his heart.

WOW. Sounds like Soundgarden🤩
Clean doesn’t lie… 👍🏻👍🏻
I'm here fresh from an article that said Kotzen sounds a lot like Chris Cornell. Wow....he really does....cool song to boot.
always throwing a curve ball out there...that dark intro and main line just different but awesome with the bass runs in there and using a pick on the lead....a true chameleon Richie is...love you brother..be well as always..thanks for sharing.
This is great. What an awesome solo
siempre sorprendiendome richi!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Absolutely phenomenal song and definitely one of my two faves from the new record, the other being "Nihilist"..!!! I LOVE the vibe of these two songs!
That's how talent looks (and sounds) like.
Don’t be surprised if someday you see Richie walking on water, this guy can do anything!!

Fantástico! Som de baixo, animalesco! Sonzeira total!
The way he holds back at 2:58-3:03 kicks ass!
Some nice bass playing
Not wrong, gotta meet that bass player one day.
Looking forward to seeing your solo show at Tupelo Music Hall next week in NH.
Aesthetic and awesome and pure feel
I love the Ian Gillian-esque vocals and harmonies. And of course his guitar work
My favorite song on the album!!

A truly modal Richie! Lydian! And picking sound! Amazing.
Known as a vocalist and guitarist but can play the bass better and more effectively than most "known" bassists. Fucking love this guy
Don’t forget his piano🎹 skills 😉
His drum skills are incredible.
…and his nose-flute skills are incredible!
electric discovery...WoW!!!
How many people sing and play all the instruments on their album? Only him is the answer love this guy....
Great....Very Cool....!
If Zappa and Prince had a baby it would come out crying like this.
...and C.Cornell😊
WTH Ritchie! Absolutely amazing!

Wait, he played the lead with a pick - wow it has been like 10 years with just the fingers. Awesome.
Maybe he thought he should handicap himself, give everybody else a chance ...
Just kidding. That's a very particular sound, and you aren't going to get that with fingers. I'm hearing a Steely Dan vibe.
Steely Dan is my favourite band @@innocentoctave
@@innocentoctavelol
Oh yeah, excellent!

Every time he comes to town I go see his shows.. thanks for the good music Mr.kotzen
