@@jacobattias8401 seriously dude... Going back 45 years to name a couple. Richie has many songs with fairly long solos- the guy has been a beast for 30 years - one of the original Shrapnel guys!!! Put an instrumental album out at 19 (Richie Kotzen), and then did all the vocals as well on his second album (Fever Dream) at 21. Awesome Musician!!!!
Kotzen is a true artist. Persevering all these years. What a talent and a badass! He truly does it for the love of music. Thank you Mr Kotzen for all the years of inspiration!
The best guitar solo I have heard in my life & I'm 51, Richie is by far the best musician in the world nobody plays guitar , sings , wrights music like him most musicians dont put out 50 songs in thier careers ( and drums , bass, piano ) he is just awesome.
Exactly. When I was a young metalhead, I used to find telecasters ugly and I loved ugly guitar, like the flying-v. Now Im in absolute love with teles and stratos and their unique, characteristic sound
Richie's songs really mean so much to me. High, i would, i'm no angel.... my mom said the same words in this song to me when i left town with a girl when i was 16...i'm 48 now. Most of us can relate to his songs. Been a fan since poison days. Thanks so much , the one and only Richie Kotzen 😄
@@alanmenescal4042 I don't think that happens in 2020 lol. He released a album with 50 songs because it was when he made 50 years in age. 50(years) 50(songs)
The greatest guitar player of the last few decades no other guitar player can Compose a song with intelligent lyrics great guitar playing in soulful voice
Incrível, sentimental, um músico e cantor excepcional, não falo inglês mas queria deixar clara a minha admiração, parabéns pelo seu ótimo trabalho Richie Kotzen 👏👏👏
Perhaps one of the only ones who has complete control over the instrument, but without forgetting the incredible musicality ... Kotzen, you are a rare talent!
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere Compliment and love towards my music 🙏
this is unbelievable. he s always above any guitarists in the world. Only musicians with years of professional experience can have such a strong music composition as this song. The Great Kotzen bravo.
I agree, Brian! I've been playing for 50 years but am a complete hack when compared to Richie. The solo in this song is astounding! There are many great guitarists, but Richie is a gifted guitarist and vocalist.
One Ace of a musician in ALL Aspects! Complete FiRE in every way! Blows my mind and a high just listening to him. Watching him is fkn amazing. I love how they zoom in on his 🎸🔥💯magic! Music for the SOUl 110%! Rock On Richie!
It's been a long road from "Unsafe at Any Speed," through "Mother Head's Family Reunion," to this amazing song about how hard life is under "The Devil's Hand." The music that drives us is too many times too cruel and asks way too much of us. Thank you, Richie, for all you've given us of yourself over the last 30 years.
To this day I had thought that Lindsey Buckingham's BIG LOVE performance with the acoustic guitar was the MOST intense guitar solo ever performed, but today I Richie Kotzen changed my mind with his extended and emotional solo.....Especially because I know he'll top his studio version every time in the live concerts. I am seriously very envious of all who can attend his upcoming tour in Europe (and hopefully US and rest of world). Richie is the guitar god but let's also say this is a touching and beautiful story. Melancholy but REAL. Any romantic men and women who love them will identify with the storyline.
I really have no words about how amazing Richie became with age...there are really few musicians that can show so much restraint and endless technique, at the same time.
I feel ya! Should have listened to my mother & father (my rock). Ignoring I spent nearly 20 years on a long winding twisting road they wouldn’t have chosen for me. Today-Wiser for the time. Love your voice. The Music grabs me before anything in a song (no words needed speaks to me), your vocals & music grabbed me from the first song I heard. You are fire (wicked beautiful) on the 🎸💯🖤 ALWAYS KNOW a killer 🎸Solo is Comin with thunder! You ROCK Richie🔥💯
Who plays better guitar than this ? Who plays better bass or better drums? Plus that voice and he writes all his own material. (Apart from a few exceptions ). The best band anywhere . Absolutely hooked on this music. Have to listen to something by them every day or I feel there's a hole in me.
And he doesn't use a pick , I bought his first album in shrapnel records in the 80s _he has come a long way , I love his voice , I've been drumming since I was like ten , was in a band called vigilante, from new jersey and was in oktober playing drums , I play guitar and sing ,,I really love what richie s doing and the scatting , very cool , music is in my blood too. , I like so many different bands and artist's and Neil Peart died , what a phenomenal , drummer and song writer .
Beautiful Song-Vocals & Lyrics 🔥Wicked🎸 Beautiful Music ‼️ 4:45 It’s Coming his “Thunder” … definitely paid the cost! 5:50 🎸🔥🙌🏼 Best part of the song…wicked Solo (always 🤯)! You Amaze & Rock My World on All Playlists daily! Thank you for the Treasures! ROCK ON Richie🙌🏼🔥❗️
This guy is amazing I hope he keeps putting out great music as a solo artist and also with the winery dogs and Smith and kotzen too can u say hall of famer keep it up ritchie
Just damn AWESOME!! The greatest singer, songwriter and guitarist I’ve ever heard! He has totally found his centre! The soul he brings to his music is phenomenal! Thank you Ritchie!
Brilliant composition by Richie Kotzen (yet again). No doubt Richie is on a 'real musician' level above and beyond. Thanks for the music and most importantly, the inspiration.
Amazing music! Unfortunately, we know what we feel inside and we will never know what the other person really feels about us... If we fall, it will hurt...but we will raise stronger than ever! I wish you all the best in life!
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere Compliment and love towards my music 🙏
I been a kotzen fan since he was with poison ..and i got all his solo albums throughout the yrs... Followed him with mr big fir few yrs and two albums ..watched ritchie become way way better singer .to what he is now..and i am big fan of the wynery dogs as well...good artists everything they do is good...
The jam at the end of this song feels like “splattered Jazz” and I love it….. and scatting with his voice under the notes is the most incredible part as it never ceases to amaze me how great Richie is!!! He is so damn under rated!!! And no pick licks!!!! Damn
Ritchie definitely needs more projection, is one of the most complete musician nowadays, and he is really prolific and creative, and certainly underrated, but he is a real artist, I really enjoy his music, cheers, from México, and keep up the great work.
Amazing 🎸Solo always! Such a truthful sing… I should have listened but chose the exact opposite of what was instilled within me… my father a pastor , parents raised me with morals & beliefs. I chose the exact opposite & while on this Journey call life I’ve been on many twisting winding roads for years. Made me who I am today. Awesome song, video, vocals and your 🎸🔥🖤💯! You Amaze Me!
To all the Ritchie Kotzen fans...l can't stop thinking about how crazy cool this cat is, his drummer and his bass player are of an amazing calliber, but the man is both the primer and paint that roars with fire on another level, so underrated and lost in the background...this should be a crime in music, geniuses aren't lost nor forgotten....but he has been my inspiration to put down my Ibanez and simply rock a fender telecaster, l even have a Fender logo tattooed on my arm, l won't be forgetting the unforgettable Kotzen! Crazy cool dude etc. 🎙🎼
This song means a lot to me Richie has such a way of touching a soul his guitar does the talking all on its own but his voice is so true and inspiring I’d love to sit down with him for ten mins
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere Compliment and love towards my music 🙏
Goodness Gracious, brother Richie !!!! That was a Majestic Journey that you captivated us with ! The heart felt lyrics accompanied with the forlorn video of the loss of your love, and ultimately culminating in your resurrection into your Bebop solo heading straight to the state of Nirvana !!!! Thank you, brother. It couldn't have come out any better!
This story never ends. He took the greatests. But you still got some f... inspiration. You're always going so deep and it's dangerous but it saves you too. Cheers
Cordero-Kotzen= a superb collaboration ...great chemistry showing on screen. Wonderful production both with the new musical tapestries and visual story telling. Bravo.
Sterling effort! Happy birthday Richie. We all hope you have 50 more years of great music. Thank you for being in our lives. All the best from New Zealand.
I am wrestling with the concept of what kind of woman would leave Richie Kotzen?! I have a clue, but at least it turned out well for Richie in the end, with his current wife in the video, and an epic song born from his heartbreak! Good for breakups, good for any time!!
Put his ass in the Rock Hall of Fame. Such an underrated musician
Agreed collaborations etc. Much more talent than what’s been inducted in some circumstances.
Who plays a 4 minute solo to finish a song! He is the most underrated musician alive! He is fantastic.
Plenty of cunts do!!
@@jannaasdolgfaartneth4783 not like richie does tho!
to those who know of him, we know he is AWESOME!!!!! has been for over 30 years!!!!

Kudos bro. I've been a fan since- I can't remember. Check the Paul Gilbert too - another freak of nature - lol.
Yep, He has evolved quite nicely. Love his stuff.😎
@@levelheaded6214 that's right! You can also check out Petruci from Dream Theater! Bumblefoot is another! All monsters for sure!

Agreed
Lo máximo no hay nadie mejor que papá Ritchie
True!
He's a fountain that never runs dry.
The best solo, really?
Richie Kotzen.... The reason why I felt in love with Telcasters ...
Exactly. When I was a young metalhead, I used to find telecasters ugly and I loved ugly guitar, like the flying-v. Now Im in absolute love with teles and stratos and their unique, characteristic sound
jajajaja pienso lo mismo! por richie y keith richards amo las telecasters
Kotzen acquired this '72 Tele Thinline in a trade in an Ibanez seven-string prototype
We share the passion because of him... 🤣
yo one day ill buy his japan made signature tele !!! its a killer guitar + it plays a lot of styles
That last solo is beast mode
Such a great and underated song
This guy is a bottomless well of incredible music. How he is not the biggest artist in the world is a mystery.
Nowadays only an indipendent artist could release a song and a video like this one....thanks God you are free Richie!
Richie's songs really mean so much to me. High, i would, i'm no angel.... my mom said the same words in this song to me when i left town with a girl when i was 16...i'm 48 now. Most of us can relate to his songs. Been a fan since poison days. Thanks so much , the one and only Richie Kotzen 😄
"I lost all my inspiration" but released a album with 50 songs. Ok. Please, lost it again.
Ahahahah true xD this guy is a monster. Seriously
Could be record company pressure
XD
I am guessing this is one of the older songs he dusted off and is about his ex-gf or ex-wife.

The only way to achieve this level of songwriting is to have been born with the gift of music. Richie is a truly maestro!
I think some guys was born to music. Bob Dylan, Jimmy Hendrix, Prince...and Richie Kotzen
Nailed it
Joao jr79 I’d add Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell on that list but I do agree though. Some are just born into it. 👍👍✌️✌️
your list needs to be extended by many, many names...and correcting you..it's JIMI Hendrix and not Jimmy.
@@Alex-yf1jp it's just some examples. Thanks about Jimi
@@joaojr7918 got it ... thanks and I'm sorry for looking arrogant.

Not sure exactly what you said, but I completely agree.
A música transcende idiomas!
Perhaps one of the only ones who has complete control over the instrument, but without forgetting the incredible musicality ... Kotzen, you are a rare talent!
Just when you were starving for inspiration, Ritchie comes along and feeds you a fucking feast of Kings.
A name I've not heard for 30 years. Damnit, this is so amazing....
One of the last real artists in Rock Music.
Good Lord this man is talented! He shreds like no other.
Equal to stevie and many others and largely unsung. A guitar hero by any measure. Rock on brother!
He’s the best!!!! What a legend!!!! He’s a genius. Brilliant. Can’t get enough of his music and talent. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere
Compliment and love towards my music 🙏
The solo is just mindblowing
That wasn't a solo. That was the song. Everything else was just the intro. Haha
@@deandeklerk8689 haha you're right
@X Y It's your opinion

The music that drives us is too many times too cruel and asks way too much of us. Thank you, Richie, for all you've given us of yourself over the last 30 years.
A scatted 3-minute solo? This guy is a genius.
Deserving of a Rock n' Roll nomination. An amazingly talented artist that has used his talent to touch my life everyday!!
He’ll never get inducted into the RRHOF - it’s a joke anymore
No one takes that seriously anyway
Thank you for spreading light in this dark world.
What are we without a woman. Absolutely nothing. Happy birthday Richie.
The tortured soul common to so many musical and other artistic geniuses comes through strong here. Richie rules.
Thanks, Kotzen, thanks for composing the soundtrack of my life... all of your songs...
To this day I had thought that Lindsey Buckingham's BIG LOVE performance with the acoustic guitar was the MOST intense guitar solo ever performed, but today I Richie Kotzen changed my mind with his extended and emotional solo.....Especially because I know he'll top his studio version every time in the live concerts.

This guy is inspirational! Richie Kotzen lives rock music! Outstanding artist!
What an incredible musician and bittersweet when I close my eyes and I hear notes of Chris Cornell coming thru. Both feel their music deeply
This is incredible, music with exquisite taste and of the highest quality with so few views ... humanity is at risk
love You Richie Kotzen !! You and your music has gotten me through the most difficult times in my life.. Thank God for you oxox.Ty
Can't stop singing it. That transition to lower tunes in "but she don't know him" part is just brilliant. Thank you for this song, Richie!
Who plays better guitar than this ? Who plays better bass or better drums? Plus that voice and he writes all his own material.
(Apart from a few exceptions ). The best band anywhere . Absolutely hooked on this music. Have to listen to something by them every day or I feel there's a hole in me.
This is one of the best solos what I've ever heard in my life... Great and wonderful song but solo sounds like a Devil's Hand play it... Fantastic!!!
Ritchie is the best unknown guitarist,singer, bassist,drummer, in the world!!! He is simply amazing!
He is the perfect guitarist. A real genius
One of my fav cuts from 50 for 50. Just effing ridiculous. Prolific.
Truly amazing song! And hey, that solo al 3:20... the sound, the mood, it really makes me cry... This is what I mean when I say "the guitar speaks"...
Absolutely incredible and heartwarming!
Love the George Benson-esque scattin' along with the guitar solo passage, nice touch...
"§AME"
And he doesn't use a pick , I bought his first album in shrapnel records in the 80s _he has come a long way , I love his voice , I've been drumming since I was like ten , was in a band called vigilante, from new jersey and was in oktober playing drums , I play guitar and sing ,,I really love what richie s doing and the scatting , very cool , music is in my blood too. , I like so many different bands and artist's and Neil Peart died , what a phenomenal , drummer and song writer .
The best guitar solo I have ever heard in this track... Off the scale amazing.
Love this track. The way it builds and mixes up the bass into the guitar at the end. Must be awesome live - turn it up!
How could he have lost his inspiration when he has 50 new songs on his album? Wow. Now he just needs to quit smoking to preserve that soulful voice.
Beautiful Song-Vocals & Lyrics
🔥Wicked🎸 Beautiful Music ‼️

Wow, never heard this guy before, but now will have to listen to this new triple album. Amazing guitar work, amazing song writing!
utterly outstanding. One of the most poignant guitar solos I have ever heard. Excellent work Ritchie.
Great song, I love the ending, it was a tasty surprise! He's become as talented a singer/songwriter as he is a guitarist.
This guy! Been a fan for years and years and he continues to surprise. Keep nailing it Richie, you're a bonafide legend!
This may be my favourite Kotzen track to date.
I listen every day, I don't get tired, I can't get tired , hugs from Brazil !
Music that comes from the soul. It is the most human and personal thing I have ever heard in my life. Grazie.
Wow I cant believe I never heard of this guy before. Incredible talent.
