Richie Kotzen with Mr. Big, January 20, 2000, Seoul, Korea. Richie IS the Master of guitar..He OWNS it! Such great tone and skills and his stage presence is an amazing sight to see.
Thats true. Ritchie actually did a great job in this song. Again people: This is not his song either his tune. If Paul did one of Richie`s songs, the outcome would be similar.. They are both amazing players. But I think Richie has more heart and Paul has more technic. So it is the listeners choice. I personally lean towards Richie. His playing suits me more than Paul`s but I am not putting down Paul whatsoever. He is an amazing talent.
richie is the definition of rock n roll!!!!!!!! plus all this soul,old rnb,funky vibe which is really rare to find after the 90's exept the black crowes.... just take a listen to something to say,motherheads familly reunion I and II,peace sign and wave of emotion.Richie kotzen is the original rock n roll... face the truth!!! mr big had more of that vibe in get over it, just put on Static,Dancin with my devils or Mr never in a million year!!!!!!
RK is less pyrotechnic than PG. Both are superb guitarists. PG has more of a cartoony rock star sound (high gain and aggressive) RK is more blusey. Remember this aint Richies song, this his his best attempt at sounding like Paul Gilbert
Dudes in these comments knocking Richie. Fucking take a seat. Richie and Paul are 2 absolute masters of the interment. One dude said "Lazy Playing by Kotzen as usual"....ok champ. Lets see what major contribution to anything in this life you have contributed. Answer-NONE.
@@marshallgilbert247 benkea de'e wae. Sing pentinge muni gitar ritchie kui luwih penak. Nanging paul gilbert pun yo apik jugak. Koyo wong enom. Tenogo ne okeh.
Paul- did you just.......... Ritchie- yeah i did Paul- your bettee that me!!! Ritchie- i needed an edge it was your song dude!!! Both- more beer please. -laughing- Audience/fan boys- fighting Me---- enjoying the song..
@toppoxpocky ur right man, RK en Pg are both fckn great and are both in my guitarist top 10. BUT i think mr big sounds more agressive and filled up with PG on gtr ;) and the drill thing, that paul's thingy. if richie would do that, it'd be just as bad as a random RnB singer doing mj's moonwalk..
I can admit Richie Kotzen is one great guitarist, but I have to say that I don't feel as much energy on his performance as I do with Paul's. When Paul plays this song it sounds freaking killer !!! This one sounds kind of weak and boring.
Someone throw Eric a sandwich! Man he's thin here! He looks like he could be snapped in half! Yikes!!! I know, he's put on a little weight since this, he looks better now! I was just shocked when I saw this... =/
I don't know.... I hate to say bad things about a guitar player. And I know kotzen is an amazing one. But really.... this sucks. His tone is note nice in this video. He's standing like " oh I don't like this song, hope it ends earlier this time" while the rest of the band is givin' their souls to make it better. Awful
What a disgrace to this song! Kotzen is an armature compared to Paul! Terrible guitar tone and sloppy playing. Paul has perfect form and never misses a note.
