Lyrics:
Shadows around me, all around me
Blood moon is burning, trying to blind me
Why you wanna blind me?
What's going on, what's going on?
Oh oh why, here I stay
How I long for yesterday
Slow my mind, feel my pain
I still wait for better days
Oh better days
Well, north star is shining, trying to blind me
Blood moon is burning, won’t you guide me
What’s going on, what’s going on?
Oh oh why, here I stay
How I long for yesterday
Slow my mind, feel my pain
I still wait for better days
Oh oh why, here I stay
How I long for yesterday
Slow my mind, feel my pain
I still wait for better days

No posers here. Just good musicians and good music. Pure rock'n roll.
Thank god there's still some people on the planet making good music.
Agreed! This is stellar 🎉🎆🧨🎸🎶 both are such amazing guitarists and vocalists 💖
There are PLENTY of people on the planet making good music. Why do people keep saying there aren't? There are billions of people on the planet. It's ludicrous to imply that these are the only guys composing anything good.
Airbourne, AC⚡DC, Scorpions, Ozzy... Etc are still putting out Good Music! This is an Epic Album tho! 🤘🏻
Roger than!!
M. S. G, Ronnie Romero, Skull Fist, alot of new Awesome albums and tunes out now, Rock Ain't Dead! 🤘🏻
I knew Ritchie had a killer voice, but who knew Adrian could sing? They're really awesome together!
Search for Iron Maiden - Reach Out with Adrian in vocals and Bruce backing. Your mind is gonna blow.
Reach Out is one of my absolute favourite songs! I can also suggest Adrian Smiths album "Silver and Gold" (ASAP, Adrian Smith And Project). To this day it is my absolute favourite album of all time. Each and every song on that album is fantastic!
Everybody who has been a Maiden fan since the '80s has known Adrian can sing... he's always sang backing vocals live. Before Iron Maiden, he sang and played guitar in a band called Urchin. After he left Maiden (1989), he sang with his own band ASAP (Adrian Smith And Project) and put out an album called Silver & Gold.
Them darn fenders rule man jus ask jimi he burnt a few up lol!
Adrian voice is a hidden gem ......fucking good track 🎸🎸
Imagine what it would sound like if Adrian dropped in for one Winery Dogs song on their next release?
This Kotzen/Smith collab is far better than I expected. I have expected something good, but work so well together.
Hell yeah!
First thing I thought. Sounded more like a winery dog tune but you could hear the Smith influence. You should hear Smith's stuff outside of Maiden. Dude is eclectic
@@rickplatte4163 yupp. I still think his guitar play is best in Maiden. He reaches breath-taking heights, especially on the last few Maiden albums. But all his solo stuff is absolute prime music, highest quality.
Definitely a "Super Group". Smith/Kotzen kick some serious Ass. This is the type of rock that used to be made back in the day and then disappeared with a few exceptions "Welcome Back"!!! A breath of fresh air. Richie is the "Man" in every group he's in as well as solo. He is Phenomenal!
Smith Kotzen is maybe my favourite collaboration. It works so well - seemingly effortless. And no showing off - no need when you have that level of quality.
I totally agree with you their tones together are awesome 😎👍
Another masterpiece - easily one of the most iconic duos already! 🔥
PLEASE TOUR!!! 🤘🏻🇬🇧🤘🏻🇬🇧🤘🏻
Pals I m so happy bout these dear people from metal old.school still making the best music ever . Thanks God for all my dear musicians. Im musician of pro heavy and for me and for all my metal s brother is so great these. Awesome .
Awesome !!!! Awesome !!!! Awesome !!!! Awesome !!!! Awesome !!!! Awesome !!!! Awesome !!!!
SK songs have a very positive promotion of men which is a refreshing change from the current fashion of putting men down, so well done to SK.
Every track they have released is stellar.
THE KOTZEN VOICE REMEMBERIN A CRIS CORNELL
Omg, Richie Kotzen!🔥🔥🔥
2:37 stranger in a strange land solo vibes here! Amazing
Great dirty rock 'n roll!
God bless the day these two guys met!
Adrians always been the under-appreciated genius in Maiden Such a underrated player
He was just as important an addtion to the Band as Dickensen . The band instantly took it up to another level when he joined the band and then the band took a huge step backwards when he left and when you rejoined the improvement was agian huge . The music improved when he joined and improved again after he rejoined . Even with Bruce still I'm the band in the early 90s the music immediately suffered after Adrian's departure
This here ladies and gentlemen, is True Rock music and True Rock musicians in this modern era, you dont see true rock music in music awards anymore. Savor this as much
Wow! WOw!! WOW!!!
Adrian is a true class rocker
That's a rockin MONSTER !!!!!!!!
If I didn't know better I'd put my life on it that it was Chris cornell singing, awesome job guys first time hearing them just brilliant
I know right, the few tracks ive heard its the same, not a one off, Yes adrian can sing, but that Kotzens got serious pipes.
This is been said about Richie Kotzen many times over and they do have a similar style but if you go back and listen to Chris Cornell you'll actually see how much better a singer Richie Kotzen is but of course as he's gotten older he's a lot more nasally
True Guitar shredders.
Adrian F’n Smith. Who would’ve thought. Killer bluesy voice. Why are we just hearing this rockin stuff now??? 🤘🏻
Bruce has been holdin him back! 🤣🤣 I told both my uncle and brother, these guys both have Awesome rock voices and their lead singers have been holding them back. Hahaha. Shame on Bruce and Bret. Lol
@@rci30 Bret did not hold Richie back for long.
Ok so this is insane!! I've been a Maiden fan for over 40 year! Adrian sings??!!! Love Ritchie and the Winery Dogs but this is incredible. Up the Irons!! 🤘
Go Adrian! 🇧🇷
Heavy metal masterpiece.
That time when the algorithm delivered.
🤘😎
Powerfully, soulful hell
I' ve Had a few drinking problems in my life and i need to admmit that I Cried a lil bit at the end of the video. Thank you Adrian Smith and Ritchie kotzen
Album number 2?! Sweet!
Witness to the saviors of rock guitar landscape.....blowing it up just straight up best rock band going. luv these guys
Remember buying Richie Kotzens first record on Shrapnel. His finger picking style still blows my mind
Remember doing the same, but was not so impressed by the 1st two albums.
My mind changed when this master piece was released in 1995... Killer !!! : ua-cam.com/video/Njfqp5jtKIM/v-deo.html
He used a pick back then. He switched to finger picking more or less in 2008. His own words: "I stopped using a guitar pick 3 years ago on a tour in Brazil. I was very bored and uninspired and I believed I needed to change my approach and do something out of my comfort zone so I decided to abandon the guitar pick. It worked out great for me because now I am playing and writing things I never would have thought to write or play when I was using a guitar pick." (interview from 2011).
He didn't develop his finger picking wizardry until much later. Maybe he always had it within him dunno, but it wasn't until the mid 00s did Richie exclusively went all fingers and no picks.
Better days are Now..in this Present.. in this Life! Thanks for all the músic that You give us 💯
Both Vocals rocks!!!🤘🤘🤘
Thanks 🙏
Bollocks to it!.. I missed the premiere by 1 hour...what a tune, I knew I was gonna like this after the first 10 seconds.
Such a breath of fresh air.
Definitely a massive Chris Cornell style voice, brilliant song too!
Nope, Cris Cornel has Kotzen voice stile.
I can't understand why Richie Kotzen isn't recognized as the top 10 rock stars of all time.
@@danielcerqueiracezar1712 Soundgarden‘s first album was released in 1988 before any Poison or Kotzen solo albums were released.
@@DaveTheFuckingBrave So what? Cornell's voice in the debut SG album didn't sound anything like this and he didn't influence Richie. He is influenced by Sananda Maitreya.
@@mitchie2267 still a stretch to claim that Cornell „has Kotzen voice style“
@@DaveTheFuckingBrave when did I say that?
Adrian have a great voice!
Well, now that's a BADASS song!!! Rock on, guys!!!
Perfection........................
yessss LOVE IT !!!
These two are so good together.
Go Adrian, best bluesman on Earth!😉😘
Probably one of the best Adrian Smiths around
Great playing, great singing, great tune! There is a different, much more bluesy feel, but Adrian's guitar tone takes me straight back to 1986, "Somewhere in Time"... Love it.
What an awesome combination, Smith Kotzen!
Man, Richie has such a great voice. Adrian too.
These 2 go together like peas n carrots! Great combination, superb track.
Okay....I'm in! Didn't know Adrian had such a great voice and we all know his pedigree. Richie is awesome as usual. Yea, I'm down for whatever this turns out to be.
Great great , great ... Two guitarists , two worlds , one music ...
Damn it's fantastic
thanks you both. Great!!!!!
Excellent!! 🤘🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Amazing track!! Can't wait for a tour
Great song, I love this project, two GIANTS!
I am super happy for Richie and glad he is getting the regonition he deserves, Incredible talent as is Adrian
I've always loved Adrian's guitar playing he plays with such emotion and melodically I think he's so underated and is the best of the 3 out of maiden 🤘🤘
Agree 100%
Easily the most important and creative member of Iron Maiden.
@@jonshaw9472 I totally agree I remember when he left maiden and I thought we would never hear from him again
@@My.Guitar.Journey it amazes me how he keeps coming up with such brilliant solos, riffs and melodies. His note choice, timing, phrasing and ear for a catchy memorable melody is second to none. A top top musician and the best of British.
@@jonshaw9472 Adrian is a bluesman at heart, and he is such a quality player and singer. When he left maiden they really missed his little touches to make a better sound.
two legendary guitarists together. A delight!
2021 is officially Adrian Smith's year
Man I’m blown away by both these guys vocals!! Both standing behind frontmen all these years hiding this talent
O kotzen tem carreira solo consolidada...vale a pena conferir os trabalhos dele .. é um músico muito versátil...depois que ele saiu do poison focou na carreira solo.
O Adrian eu concordo com vc, tem de fato uma boa voz !!
@@RafaelSilva-ko6vy lo voy a buscar sus trabajo. Nunca oido Adrian Smith cantar con Iron Maiden muy agrecido por lo informacion
Yesssss 😍🤘🏻😍🤘🏻😍
This song is so damn solid! Catchy, rocking’ and hellishly melodic. These two just know how to write great tunes!
Hell yeah !!
Groove Rock!!!
Richie is channeling a little Cornell in this one
WOW! Made my day.
Woooooooow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, I expected the collab to be great, but I never expected it to become one of my favorite blues-rock projects. The sum is truly greater than its parts even with such impressive individuals in on it.
Wish Maiden would showcase Adrian’s vocals more but I’m glad he was able to cut this album with Ritchie.
I've always loved Adrian's voice. So rough and raw but soulful.
He did reach out on a single from somewhere in time...
@@martycarter3306 yep, I’ve got it. One of my favorite Maiden b-sides. I have all of his solo material. He is truly talented!
He's got a Sammy Hagar vibe to him
I LOVE Adrian singing, but you gotta admit that Bruce is one of the best rock/metal vocalists alive, and also Adrian's voice wouldn't fit well. And come on, as a result of that, we got Smith/Kotzen, which is just AMAZING music.
Nice seeing smith with the white jackson
This is so so good haven't heard a song this good in a while
So awesome!!!!
Richies liquid Fingerpicked Lines, spiced with some Gourmet-Notes are so intense...not to mention his Singing Abilities...and so does Adrian ...Power Duo...
Freaking Richie and Adrian!!!
Cornell lives on !
LOVE THAT VOICE !!!
❤️🇮🇹🏆
❤️🎼🎸🤟 Wow
woooow
Yes 😍🔥🎸
Fantastic! For the love of god please tour.
Such a great piece of Rock!
Yes!! More S&K!! BRING IT ON!! CAN'T WAIT TILL THEY TOUR!!!👏👏👏💜❤
A tour would be nice someday ;)
Maestros!
Great heavy groove! Fukk yeah!🍻🎸🎸
two guitarists on this level who respect each other.... you don´t see that very often...
KILLER ;-)
One of the very few records where I do not witness loudness war. Spacey sound with headroom. And great musical performances... All thumbs up.
W-Wow!
THANKS ENDEED!
Ciao, from Italy.
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🙌
These two compliment one another just awesome! They both have the vocals& shred a guitar making it look so simple. 🤯
Listen to Kotzen Daily with him or alone. My fix … watching him/them is an added bonus. Unreal what they can do with 🎸🔥💯🌀. ROCK ON!!!
Damn that sounds good!
adrian has evolved and is kicking ass.... they are a great pair!
Fantastic!!!!!
Yes! Another great song and amazing musicians.
Great song . Congratulations and success .
Live Long and Prosper - INDEED !!
Killer! Can't wait!
