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.
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...
@@MetalSimVR He has been regretting his lyrics for some time. and that is what matters when the word of God enters the person, it is clearly perceived that he has changed
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.
Absolute masterpiece from Richie, I have played bass for a long time, I’m 63 and appreciate quality musical skills when I hear it, just saw Miles Kennedy in Manchester UK recently, yet another highly skilled musician. This is just another example of a human being with phenomenal skills presenting him or her self to the musical world 👍👍
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.
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.
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?
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 😎🦴
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.
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 👍🏼
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.
On the first listen I thought "Well, it's his song. He can noodle around as much as he wants." On the second listen it's more like "Damn, thems is some tasty licks!"
My ex hated me playing guitar...As a result I learned to play well with my fingers cuz I could only play for a few mins at a time....and I got good. I found a used Kotzen Tele and fell in love with it. Recently, I picked up a Victory Dutchess. ...And now I am inadvertently a Kotzen clone. Lucky for Richie he sounds nothing like me.
Richie using a pick again!!!! this guy is so incredibly talented, he could play with a fork on his right hand and still make amazing music, this song has everything, is so creative, unique and everything feels like it flows like water, but you know no one on earth could play like this, this music goes beyond all we know about rock, funk, jazz and blues, combines it all but with a style that is really new.
There's no limit to this guy's talent.

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

I think he actually is, especially among The more metal among us. Would say hes as respected as Bill Frisell or Richie Sambora,
Why is Richie still underrated? He is Living legend man!
Now that's why Richie Kotzen is number one!
Only for you !

Bass fire slap funk! That dog can't deny the melodic nuggets of guitar awesomeness.
Aesthetic and awesome and pure feel
I think I have looped this nine times now. Superb.

I get faith no more vibes from this. Good tune 😁
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!
Absolutely mesmerizing and beautiful.

That's how talent looks (and sounds) like.
Clean doesn’t lie… 👍🏻👍🏻
If Zappa and Prince had a baby it would come out crying like this.
...and C.Cornell😊
That bass part is so vivid!
I like Richie's stuff. Phenomenal musician! He's using a pick again!
Don’t be surprised if someday you see Richie walking on water, this guy can do anything!!

Absolut.
Caught his show at Canyon Club. What a great artist!
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
Incredible woaooooo
Yo this jam is the bees knees!🕺🏾🕺🏾💯✊🏾💣 🎸 🫡
My favorite song on the album!!
Richie, your music is still killer! Been following you for years.
Fantástico! Som de baixo, animalesco! Sonzeira total!
Find myself coming back to it. This song is very interesting musically and Ritchie is a guitar virtuoso, glad he can show it off here
How many people sing and play all the instruments on their album? Only him is the answer love this guy....
Unbelievably great guitar player. Awesome solo and picking technic.
Amazing !!!

Can't wait
Me either. About two weeks!!!!
INCREDIBLE SONG - LOVE this one - my new favourite KOTZEN TUNE !!!
On the first listen I thought "Well, it's his song. He can noodle around as much as he wants." On the second listen it's more like "Damn, thems is some tasty licks!"
It seems to get better the more you listen to
Did the solos with a pick?! Never stops amazing me! Great Jam and yet another great album! Thank you Richie
Love it.
always so creative... kudos
SAUDAÇÕES DO BRAZIL!
Ese es un hombre que no ha corrompido su expresión artística. Esas notas hablan directo al alma.
What a class act. Come tour in the UK!
Another one like this, wow!
Love this man - MONSTER TALENT!! Definitely one of the greatest players of our time💥 dang this man can play🫣🔥🔥🔥🔥
The way he holds back at 2:58-3:03 kicks ass!
Que elegancia la de Francia. Muy bueno Richie!!!🔥🔥🎸🎸
My ex hated me playing guitar...As a result I learned to play well with my fingers cuz I could only play for a few mins at a time....and I got good. I found a used Kotzen Tele and fell in love with it. Recently, I picked up a Victory Dutchess. ...And now I am inadvertently a Kotzen clone. Lucky for Richie he sounds nothing like me.
I’m glad she’s your EX.
What kind of human hates another person for playing an instrument ?
@@Maria-n6t2d I am very grateful for the additional guitar skills. The only greater gift was her departure.
I used to have a girl like that as well.
Everything got better when that b***h was gone
The guitar is a mistress one won't soon part with, so any partner needs to understand their place and then everything's good 😉

Ritchie!!! I don't care what anyone else says you are the guitar player of the Gen X generation - MY GENERATION.
so good
My fave on the new album; love the jazzy licks.
Это удивительная музыка!
