It's ridiculous that anyone who can play like Richie, then becomes a killer vocalist along the way!! He sings the hell out of this, and the original is widely considered to be one of the best vocals ever recorded. If you love music, HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS!?!?!?
Stop complaining about the bass. This is a trio. It’s his job to fill enough so the song doesn’t sound “empty”. And he’s done it perfectly well. I would listen to this version over any other. All 3 are amazing!
Billy is a beast on the bass!!!! Most people just want to hear a basic bass line like, bum bum bum, Billy is a revered bass player in the music world and a sought-after musician.
The Tea Party impressed the hell out of me live. You’d swear there was 5 or 6 people on stage but it was only three. Lead singer was also lead guitar, then the was a bass player and a drummer. Blew me away
He is. Thankyou for Makin me feel like I am not the only one thinks this way.. I used get inspired by him when I was a kid. now I have 2 kids now this guy still fucking inspire me or I should say the whole band dose. But man.. Richie is Def one of kind. This is the only band that I would listen now days.
eric 8 months ago but .. I agree bro .. I’ve seen him twice with mike Bennett and Dylan Wilson .. unbelievable!!! And once with Portnoy and Billy Sheehan.. same deal.. they could record the live shows as studio. And I totally agree that he’s inspiring ✊🏼 ☮️
Cant agree more....Billy’s tone is like a frown on an eq curve....which is exactly what it makes me do. But Kotzen....my god...everything he does is just amazing....incredible guitar licks, and a voice that would make Chris Cornell smile...
If you want Billy Sheehan’s tone go buy one of those little clip-on amps that run off a couple of D cell batteries, plug your bass into it, mic it up and you’re done.
Wow, absolutely beautiful talent. Just what ive been looking for since all my favorite guys are sadly gone (chris, layne, chester..) RIP. These guys are absolutely amazing
Excellent version of a really cool song from 1975. Kotzen’s singing AND guitar work are impressive. The drummer is so relaxed while playing perfectly. Billy is his unique self in both tone and licks. Great entertainment.
The Winery Dogs are a power trio with no weaknesses, and this performance proves it. All three have technical skills for miles. The background vocals are tight as hell. Richie is just insanely talented, like Chris Cornel and Joe Bonamassa all rolled up into one. My favorite part of this performance is Billy's bass work. It's really refreshing to hear the bass line so distinctly from the drum work. Billy's tone creates a underlying rhythm which takes this performance to a whole different level. Most bands would try (and fail) to accomplish this with a rhythm guitar, but no need for that when your bass player is a genius!
Nice dissenting opinion. Michael Palmisano breaks this down brilliantly and highlights how all of them are serving the song. RK is underrated as Ian Thornley. Monster players who also can sing like Cornell. Unfair. :)
@@robertoafernandezr7776 According to Mr. Palmisano, yessir. ruclips.net/video/nReaFHU1Wow/видео.html Personally, seeing such monster players pay tribute to this song and to have such control over everything (including the crowd) is impressive. They shred but also clearly love the song. Just an opinion and you are free to disagree. All the best.
Never knew this dude could sing like this. Got to say, at times, he trys to sing a little too much like #ChrisCornell ; but still bad ass. #RitchieKotzen
Layden Robinson I don’t think he sounds like Chris. There may be a few subtle similarities but if you listen to Kotzen music you’ll see he has his own style 100%
Richie's voice tone in this is my fav tone on any singer ive ever heard. I keep going back when he start "I MUST HAVE BEEN THROUGH" Its just HUGE AND SOULFULL!!!
I must have been through about a million girls I'd love 'em and I'd leave 'em alone I didn't care how much they cried, no sir Their tears left me cold as a stone But then I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love It used to be when I'd see a girl that I liked I'd get out my book and write down her name But when the grass got a little greener on the other side I'd just tear out that page But then I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love Since I met you baby I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love Free, on my own that's the way I used to be But since I met you baby love's got a hold on me Ooh it's got a hold on me now, hey I can't let go of you baby I can't stop lovin' you now, hey 'Cause I fooled around, fooled around, fooled around Fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fell in love Fooled around, fooled around, yes I did Fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, I fell in love Fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fell in love
3 gifts from GOD. Great players and hard. To make it work. Keep on rockin and we will follow. Seen them twice and no disappointment here. Great throw together band. Played drums for 35 years and when I was told who was in the band I payed for his ticket. It was in 14 I was introduced to this band and I knew what was coming. They did not disappoint. Just kicked ass....period
i'm so excited, i've got tickets to see these guys in March; i don't know what i've got more respect for, Richie's singing or guitar playing. The guy's so frigging great! the band is mind blowing!
What a delight to see the amazing Richie Kotzen nicely filmed. The only guitar shredder who will play Temps, Hall & Oates, Boz Scaggs (?!) right along with the toughest guitar rock, together with world class vocal delivery. Truly one-of-a-kind!
Wow never heard of these guys , I am a guitar player and my neighbor was cranking the original song so I was trying to solo over it . Then I checked out Utube and found this version. Good stuff. Whole band rocks
Founding member of Dream Theater. Check out the Images and Words album - Live here on RUclips - ruclips.net/video/fc-EhKCWKpk/видео.html This is such a technically accurate band. These guys are just nuts playing and even better live.
Not only one of the greatest drummers currently drawing breath, but a heck of a nice guy as well. He was very gracious and spent 15 or 20 minutes talking with me on the bus after one of their shows...
Back in the day I was singer and guitar in a trio, we were good I thought, played for a couple of years, even supported Radiohead once, before they took off. After discovering the Winery Dogs, looks like I'll be getting the band back together!!!
Three of my favorite musicians, in the same band playing one of my favorite songs that I sing (a capella) at least once a week (probably several times, if I'm being honest!) in my car on my way to & from work each day. Richie (he gets more amazing by the day!), Billy (my more successful and AWESOME twin on bass!) and Mike (OMG! Mike is SO in control on the skins AND hitting those harmonies! My NY Bro!!!) really just are so in tune with each other and bring their gift of beautiful music to this planet without any drama or BS... in 2023 this is THE band that is keeping Rock and Roll alive, kicking ass and being humble & real at the same time. These three are keeping the flame burning bright and true - it doesn't get better than this!
daradidam Same thoughts here. I think playing with Dream Theater before burned him too much that he can no longer do things he want. Haha. Watch him playing with Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth at Metal Masters 5.
I've come back to this tonight because l remember when l first found this version....and it still sounds good. In fact it's the Dogs' (🇬🇧) !!.... can't say any more than that!
All the greats are nearly gone or unfortunately too old ! Bowie , Led Zepplin , ELO , Queen , Pink Floyd, Creedance , Hendrix , Motorhead , Stones and many many more not forgetting The Eagles, Foreigner ,Toto , Joplin and The Mamas and Papas . What have we now too compare with such greatness , not a lot ! U2 ,Depeche Mode , Red Hot Chilli peppers and im finding it hard too name any others and thats why i love The winery dogs ! They are a bit of the old generation but also a bit of the new . I would love to see them in Europe in the coming years , my son is a bassist and i would love to take him to a proper rock concert before its all gone ! So goodbye Corona and hello Winery Dogs in Europe ! Be good out there , stay healthy!!
First song I've heard from them, and very impressed!!! I didn't know Richie sang that well! Billy's bass tone didn't bother me, with it he filled in the spectrum with something different. I'm glad Portenoy is in an awesome band after he left D.T.
For all those that say Billy overplayed, you realize this song was rehearsed more than once. The guys in the band thought it was appropriate. Music is heard, felt, and interpreted differently by every individual. I really liked this performance.
He wasn’t in the shadows, I felt that was a good thing too. The tone had slightly too much distortion, but it didn’t really bother me. The more you hear the song the more you get used to it
i like Billy's playing. i just don't like his sound. too compresed and processed for me. he's melodic as hell, and has chops to burn, though. no doubt about it
I truly dig this drummer! He is so into this and it's easy to see he loves it! As for Richie....words are inadequate to describe his abilities with the guitar or vocals!! He has mad, mad vocals!!
Don't know why peeps are moaning about Billy's Bass, for a 3 piece this is the best version ever, absolutely love it, Mr Sheehan is filling out what Jack Bruce would have done in Cream. Ok, distortion, but as the song goes on it fits...fabulous from all 3 Musicians
The bass playing in this song is strong and melodic, flows beautifully, embellishing the harmonic and rhythmic sonic ambiance. The bass tone and selection of fills are of high caliber played tastefully to give the song a unique feel. The best version of the song ever!
Just saw them do this in N.Y.C. tonight. The best version! Sorry Elvin Bishop. So much fun! Loved this show. Thank You Winery Dogs. You guys rocked the house.
Quite simply one of the best rock bands on the planet today. GREAT cover of a GREAT song! I do kinda wish Billy would've gone with a slightly cleaner bass tone for it, though, but it still KILLS!
A few days ago, I heard the original playing on Muzak and really started to appreciate it, after only the millionth time of hearing it. Last night, I stumbled across the video of WD's new song, Xanadu, was immediately blown away, so I started digging. All I can say is Oh. My. God!!!! What an insanely talented group!!!!
"I started the wrong fucking song!" He started playing "Sara Smile" by Hall & Oates. I might be alone in this but I'd love to see Richie Kotzen as guest on "Live From Daryl's House". There's some killer jams sessions on that show from a wide range of musical guests. I think their styles would blend well musically and Richie would get so much more well deserved exposure from it because he should be a lot more famous than he is. Plus he does do a killer version of Sara Smile. Something that will probably never happen but I'd like to see it.
And this is why The Winery Dogs are the best band out there right now. 3 guys and they can all play and sing their asses off. Then can slay an old classic like this song. Bad to the bone guys.
I want to enjoy this so badly. Richie and Mike are just legend-mode here. Then Billy is like, "lets see how much fucking noise I can make". This was so close to one of the best live performances of anything - Billy just tries to do too much for me.
Consider the fact that there are only 3 guys on the stage. Billy fills up the gaps with the noise. Otherwise the song would lack dynamic. ☺️☺️☺️. A guitar a bass and some drums. That s not a lot so I understand why he does it
@@sebg2086 sort of subjective, an unusual tone though, for sure. Sometimes us bassists get bored with traditional "good tones" and experiment a little. Considering it's Billy Shehan in a project he helps write in, I'm fine with him exploring the boundaries a bit. If you want to check out some of his technique with a tone that's more "comfortable", check out their new single Xanadu, doubt you'll think any tones on it are crap.
Real music, made by real musicians.... this needs to come back in the mainstream....
Amen
We're further from this than ever :')
It is where it belongs
100%
There’s a lot more of it out there than you think. Open your mind a bit more. You’ll find it.
It's ridiculous that anyone who can play like Richie, then becomes a killer vocalist along the way!! He sings the hell out of this, and the original is widely considered to be one of the best vocals ever recorded. If you love music, HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS!?!?!?
This cover is beyond awesome
Badass
Stop complaining about the bass. This is a trio. It’s his job to fill enough so the song doesn’t sound “empty”. And he’s done it perfectly well. I would listen to this version over any other. All 3 are amazing!
You can argue about that. A more civilized bass sound would do the job, now it's distracting :)
the bass is perfect stfu haters
I agree I think he was trying to match Ritchie's tone.
@@cwalker3166Billy has had that tone for 30 plus years, with everyone he has ever played with.
Billy is a beast on the bass!!!! Most people just want to hear a basic bass line like, bum bum bum, Billy is a revered bass player in the music world and a sought-after musician.
I love Billy's excitement when Richie absolutely destroys that high note at 3:44. I'd probably do that too if I witnessed such vocal talent in person.
That high note sends chills down my spine every time
That voice.
Holy crap this man can sing.
YES
Mickey Thomas is way better!
@@shakespeare_hall4788 Yep. But Richie does good with it.
@@bernardcarpenter6949 oh yeah for sure!
Seems you don't know him. You are witnessing a virtuoso there, one of the greatest well rounded musician of all time.
These guys are tight. It's not easy to sound this good as a trio.
Unless you're Rush.....
@@larrydrozd2740 Or GFR…
The Tea Party impressed the hell out of me live. You’d swear there was 5 or 6 people on stage but it was only three. Lead singer was also lead guitar, then the was a bass player and a drummer. Blew me away
Each one of these guys can go up infront of a crowd and entertain them for hours if they wanted on they own
Amen to that. I always loved being in a three piece but there’s NOWHERE to hide. If you mess up, you’d better do it twice. 🤘🏼🤣
Is Ritchie an underrated guitarist or an underrated singer or both at the same time? 😅🤪😅
Ritchie is amazing!
Yes.
Both
And how good are the drummer and that bass player???!!!
Yeah I mean playing with distortion and finger picking the whole time Wasn’t till I watched this dvd that I realized he wasn’t using pick..
Richie is a Living Legend... Wake up people ✊🏼🎸🎤🤘🏼🎬
He is. Thankyou for Makin me feel like I am not the only one thinks this way.. I used get inspired by him when I was a kid. now I have 2 kids now this guy still fucking inspire me or I should say the whole band dose. But man.. Richie is Def one of kind.

You are right.
@@ericwang604 I had no idea who this guy was when I stumbled upon this video. He killed this song vocally and with his guitar playing. Good stuff.
What a voice; this guy was at the front of the line when they were handing out musical,talent.
right?? plays guitar like a god then he opens his mouth and you think .. .that's just not fair.
Yes! Jeezus, a real guitar God, yet he developed a voice that can give you the chills!
Billy's bass is way over the top here. But the best thing here is Ritchie's voice. Good God, he crushes it!!
Cant agree more....Billy’s tone is like a frown on an eq curve....which is exactly what it makes me do. But Kotzen....my god...everything he does is just amazing....incredible guitar licks, and a voice that would make Chris Cornell smile...
Love billy,, bit turn the effects off for this type of song
sorry fits the song as a 3 piece star ship was a 5 piece
If you want Billy Sheehan’s tone go buy one of those little clip-on amps that run off a couple of D cell batteries, plug your bass into it, mic it up and you’re done.
Totally agree, he's a complete show off douche
Ritchie! One of the most underrated guitarist of all time.
And shoe in for the "why in the fuck ...did you invite Billy Sheehan to play in the band " award
I agree! He's damn good, unique, and I like his voice too.
And vocalist
@@cheebateam 😂😂😂
when u first time hear Ritchie playing, u dont have chanse to call him underrated
What a cover! Genuine Musicians that play from the heart. We definitely need more of this kinda bands today!
Ritchie got it all, the voice, the chops, quite incredible really.
Yep
Mike Portnoy is amazing. Very talented. Never tries to (over play) his drums.
unlike Billy
Wow, absolutely beautiful talent. Just what ive been looking for since all my favorite guys are sadly gone (chris, layne, chester..) RIP.
These guys are absolutely amazing
Excellent version of a really cool song from 1975. Kotzen’s singing AND guitar work are impressive. The drummer is so relaxed while playing perfectly. Billy is his unique self in both tone and licks. Great entertainment.
That bass player is amazing.
Yes, like all other guys on this stage.
he is indeed amazing, but in this song he is to much.... Way over the top with his lines, volume and appearance..
I have watched this countless times. Feel the need to go watch Billy Go Crazy with DLR. What a career.
Richie Kotzen is by far the BEST guitarplayer-singer combination of this era.
The MVP in any band!
Look up Ian Thornley of Big Wreck.. Also a monster musician
Prince

@@laurawolpert9601 I saw them at Ram's Head Live in Baltimore at the end of February. AH-MAZE-ING!
Love this version... Billy, Mike and of course Richie made me love this song even more!!!
So good to see a band like this doing such stylish classic songs.
I'm going to go against the tide here and say that I think Sheehan's bass is majestic on this. It only adds to an already jaw-dropping performance.
I think it's perfect too. It's just "him".
SO agreee ! It's so unique and so cool ! such an ispiring bass player
@@seventallguitarist but the song is not him
@@sebg2086 he certainly seems to be enjoying it - watch him singing along :)
@@perthmike7 yes but is bass tone is garbage
the double stops he does in the beginning when he “starts the wrong song” do something to me... its just beautiful i don’t know why
Didn’t think anyone could sing that song like Micky Thomas, but you sure did do it justice.❤️
What a delight to see the amazing Richie Kotzen nicely filmed. The only guitar shredder who will play Temps, Hall & Oates, Boz Scaggs (?!) right along with the toughest guitar rock, together with world class vocal delivery. Truly one-of-a-kind!
anyone else addicted to this?
I've fooled around and watched it about a million times...
Me
Im still coming back to this every few weeks. Perfection.
Wow never heard of these guys , I am a guitar player and my neighbor was cranking the original song so I was trying to solo over it . Then I checked out Utube and found this version. Good stuff. Whole band rocks
Wow!! What a voice!!! Nailing it big time with a great Line up of musicians!!
RICHIE KOTZEN SINGING ELVIN BISHOP....HOW BRILLIANT
Mickey Thomas sang that.
@@mikeralston777 as a singer for Elvin Bishops band you gotta give them all the facts
Mike always has the best sounding kits. Tama makes perfect drums.
I did a clinic with Billy Cobham and Tama supplied the drums. Huge kit and he was more than amazing. powerhouse.
It ain't the arrow, it's the Indian.
The drummer really brings everything home. Incredible performance by all 3
Favorite rendition of this song. Soulful and rich
Always come back to this, thanks for posting!
Same!
the sound for three guys is unreal. The drummer is sick in the pocket... so solid
Best drummer on the planet
Mike Portnoy sir. One of the greatest drummers.
Founding member of Dream Theater. Check out the Images and Words album - Live here on RUclips - ruclips.net/video/fc-EhKCWKpk/видео.html This is such a technically accurate band. These guys are just nuts playing and even better live.
Not only one of the greatest drummers currently drawing breath, but a heck of a nice guy as well. He was very gracious and spent 15 or 20 minutes talking with me on the bus after one of their shows...

Three of my favorite musicians, in the same band playing one of my favorite songs that I sing (a capella) at least once a week (probably several times, if I'm being honest!) in my car on my way to & from work each day.
Richie (he gets more amazing by the day!), Billy (my more successful and AWESOME twin on bass!) and Mike (OMG! Mike is SO in control on the skins AND hitting those harmonies! My NY Bro!!!) really just are so in tune with each other and bring their gift of beautiful music to this planet without any drama or BS... in 2023 this is THE band that is keeping Rock and Roll alive, kicking ass and being humble & real at the same time. These three are keeping the flame burning bright and true - it doesn't get better than this!
The more i listen, more i find new dynamics. What a band.....
Someone finally understood the potential of this song! Amazing!!!
Richie has been playing this for yeaaaaaaaaars
Richie's voice is so badass!
An awesome guitarist with insane vocals ❤️ What an angel!
very glad to see portnoy having so much fun playing a different genre than before.
daradidam portnoy plays a lot of genres though : A7x, beatles, rush
daradidam Same thoughts here. I think playing with Dream Theater before burned him too much that he can no longer do things he want. Haha. Watch him playing with Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth at Metal Masters 5.
The Genre is called Portnoy
Absolutely..
Wow..what a voice
That high note gave me freaking chills.
Never get tired of hearing this song!
I didn't know this existed until today. No one will ever top the original for me but this is a damn good cover!👍
Yeah it’s a great cover - is it just me or does he sound similar to Chris Cornell?
I so far have failed to find a version of this song I don’t like. Think that’s the thing with good songs, they’re good no matter how they’re done!
Este cover nos demuestra que lo más importante es el amor, el amor heterosexual
Mil like para tí amigo.....👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
I've come back to this tonight because l remember when l first found this version....and it still sounds good.
In fact it's the Dogs' (🇬🇧) !!.... can't say any more than that!
All the greats are nearly gone or unfortunately too old ! Bowie , Led Zepplin , ELO , Queen , Pink Floyd, Creedance , Hendrix , Motorhead , Stones and many many more not forgetting The Eagles, Foreigner ,Toto , Joplin and The Mamas and Papas . What have we now too compare with such greatness , not a lot ! U2 ,Depeche Mode , Red Hot Chilli peppers and im finding it hard too name any others and thats why i love The winery dogs ! They are a bit of the old generation but also a bit of the new . I would love to see them in Europe in the coming years , my son is a bassist and i would love to take him to a proper rock concert before its all gone ! So goodbye Corona and hello Winery Dogs in Europe ! Be good out there , stay healthy!!
_damn Richie's voice...so unique and beautiful_ !
Ritchie is so underrated as both a singer and guitar player and the band is phenomenal!
Ritchie and the drummer are phenomenal
Got a date with these three next Friday in Dallas!! Can't wait!! First time seeing them as a band. Obsessed with this remake!
Me too! The only thing separating Richie and I will be one row of seats. May 25 Fresno, CA 😍 Can’t wait!
I've listening this version since 2016 and it just get better :') maaaaan...
Absolutely... KILLED IT!! Ritchie can sing his guts out! ❤
Richie belted this out with such a classic rock command. Great performance
Billy is over fill guy on this joint...damnit we know you can shred that base at will.. time and place! Kotzen’s pipes are amazing
I keep coming back to watch this... a soul band high on life !!!
Yes the bass is distorted, The original had so many parts, Billy is filling it with overtones.
Guaranteed they rehearsed with no distortion, this sounded best
Chega arrepiar! A voz, a guitarra, a bateria.... tudo perfeito
First song I've heard from them, and very impressed!!! I didn't know Richie sang that well! Billy's bass tone didn't bother me, with it he filled in the spectrum with something different. I'm glad Portenoy is in an awesome band after he left D.T.
Fooled around and fell in love with Richie's voice. Best guitar and voice combo player ever. ALIEN.
These guys are killing it !! Every one of them- wicked!!!!!
Wow, what a voice and presence. Excellent.
For all those that say Billy overplayed, you realize this song was rehearsed more than once. The guys in the band thought it was appropriate. Music is heard, felt, and interpreted differently by every individual. I really liked this performance.
also it is normal for the bass to be more complex when you only have one guitarist to fill in the holes, make them sound tighter (i think)
He wasn’t in the shadows, I felt that was a good thing too. The tone had slightly too much distortion, but it didn’t really bother me. The more you hear the song the more you get used to it
Well said
i like Billy's playing. i just don't like his sound. too compresed and processed for me. he's melodic as hell, and has chops to burn, though. no doubt about it
I truly dig this drummer! He is so into this and it's easy to see he loves it! As for Richie....words are inadequate to describe his abilities with the guitar or vocals!! He has mad, mad vocals!!
Stronger than Mickey Thomas... No cheating down to a lower octive. Flying high falsetto with an edge. Really enjoying his talent.

Gran banda, excelente voz para este estilo de música
This has to be the best cover I've heard in a long time! Damn dude :)
I can't stop to hear his voice!!
Just saw them do this in N.Y.C. tonight. The best version! Sorry Elvin Bishop. So much fun! Loved this show. Thank You Winery Dogs. You guys rocked the house.
I dont know what some of you are talking about. These ole boys are in it for life when playing and you know it's funk grabs ya.
Quite simply one of the best rock bands on the planet today. GREAT cover of a GREAT song! I do kinda wish Billy would've gone with a slightly cleaner bass tone for it, though, but it still KILLS!
And this kids is how you sing without autotune and play real music without the help of a computer. Damn this guy has a good voice!
A few days ago, I heard the original playing on Muzak and really started to appreciate it, after only the millionth time of hearing it. Last night, I stumbled across the video of WD's new song, Xanadu, was immediately blown away, so I started digging. All I can say is Oh. My. God!!!! What an insanely talented group!!!!
Welcome to the world of The Winery Dogs!
Richie Billy and Mike you guys got a connection on music that is so powerful God bless you guys keep playing
"I started the wrong fucking song!" He started playing "Sara Smile" by Hall & Oates. I might be alone in this but I'd love to see Richie Kotzen as guest on "Live From Daryl's House". There's some killer jams sessions on that show from a wide range of musical guests. I think their styles would blend well musically and Richie would get so much more well deserved exposure from it because he should be a lot more famous than he is. Plus he does do a killer version of Sara Smile. Something that will probably never happen but I'd like to see it.
It would be amazing!! :D
I´ve been waiting for that for years!!!!!!!
It would be great!!!!
Would be a smoking show....
markyncole... totally agree, Ritchie should be MUCH more famous than what he is. Such an amazing talent all the way around.
Rick Grimes is such an amazing musician.
😂😂😂😂
I can see Daryl being a killer guitarist. Maggie could do backup singing.
And this is why The Winery Dogs are the best band out there right now. 3 guys and they can all play and sing their asses off. Then can slay an old classic like this song. Bad to the bone guys.
Outstanding Cover Ritchie and the Boys !!!!! Keep performing please man ! IMO
Come on Billy, turn the distortion off!
couldn't agree more!
If it weren't for Kotzen, I wouldn't even give this video a 'like'. Sheehan's bass sounds like SHIT!
What is that annoying scratchy noise?
Oh. It's Billy! Nevermind....
Ughhhhhhh
Rick Barnes agreed !
You leave him be lol
absolutely crushed it! just wonderful.
No matter where you are from, the most important thing is love, heteroxesual love ...
I see you Soon
Y recuerda darle una meagustiada
Simply wonderful!!
I want to enjoy this so badly. Richie and Mike are just legend-mode here. Then Billy is like, "lets see how much fucking noise I can make". This was so close to one of the best live performances of anything - Billy just tries to do too much for me.
Yeah. A little to much. The first minute or two are pretty abrasive to my ears.
I’ve never understood his tone on any recording or live performance.
Consider the fact that there are only 3 guys on the stage. Billy fills up the gaps with the noise. Otherwise the song would lack dynamic. ☺️☺️☺️. A guitar a bass and some drums. That s not a lot so I understand why he does it
@@lofiseasons7744 fucking spot on tone deaf a holes have to comment this song is gold
@@threalismaradona9899 he’s terrible tone made me deaf 😅
Damn Kotzen has an amazing voice
Never realized Ritchie could sing like that very impressive
I absolutely love this song 🎵❤ And the drummer 🥁 is so adorable 😍❤
Great band, vocals are fantastic!
awesome cover... and that bass tone.... great!!!!!
Very impressed for a live performance guys are sick!!!! 👍👍
Prob my fav song of all time, I don't know why
Super tight performance. Sheehan's use of distortion and extra notes really help to fill things up. You don't even miss the keys when Billy is around.
Bit of light flange on their to, I do believe.
Definitely a sweet cover!!!
his bass sound like shit......
@@sebg2086 sort of subjective, an unusual tone though, for sure.
Sometimes us bassists get bored with traditional "good tones" and experiment a little. Considering it's Billy Shehan in a project he helps write in, I'm fine with him exploring the boundaries a bit.
If you want to check out some of his technique with a tone that's more "comfortable", check out their new single Xanadu, doubt you'll think any tones on it are crap.
@@sheridenstarr4365 not but for that cover.....the bass sound bad.....dont fit the style at all
I miss a normal bass tone when I listen to this! Yes he can play but he just so overdoes it here, playing and tone wise.
