It makes me sick to see somebody play guitar like him. I'm insanely jealous.

Yes, I do like this song. I like Kotzen’s singing and playing. I like the fact that he uses a Telecaster and isn’t one of these super “shred” players. I’m familiar with some of his music , I have to do a deeper dive into his music. I’ve read a bit about him. It’s interesting, there are a number of musicians, guitar players like Richie Kotzen and Jerry Cantrell who I like and respect , who cite the rock band KISS as an early influence. I’m older and my tastes were formed by earlier , more roots based rock bands. I always thought KISS was mostly schtick and less substance but they definitely appealed to some younger players (than myself) that I like.

Lots of good stuff on here. Rather than quote everyone’s post individually….

• Nice call on Dirty Honey. They just played near me. The opening band is named Feel. Very good.
• Love Kotzen a lot. Someone mentioned him not being a shred player. He actually started as one for Shrapnel records at like age 17. He even had a VHS tutorial video back in the day on shredding techniques. Ha. Who knew he could sing too.
• That supergroup that Knight Shift mentioned is Winery Dogs. I also dig those guys. I have another record where Kotzen teamed up with Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden. Decent but not great.
• Someone also mentioned Cornell. Check out a band named Crobot. I always thought that guy could pull off Cornell. He’s got some pipes.
• Not sure if anyone cares for country at all, but I’ve been listening to a bunch of 49 Winchester recently.

For the Kotzen fans, Richie teams up with Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden for another new album. Not a huge Iron Maiden fan, but really like Adrian Smith's vocals on this, and he trades verses with Richie, who is channeling Chris Cornell here. Very solid song, and looking forward to the album due on March 7, 2025

I see he's still playing a PRS. Wish I could have played mine as well as he does!

Thinking of catching him at Count Basie singing Sinatra Christmas songs with an orchestra. That might surprise some here, considering my love of hard rock and metal music.

Some of you know that I'm in the band "Jasmine Tea". (jasmineteamusic dot com) and on every streaming site. Anyway, here's my latest song called "I Want To Live On Mars". (That's me on drums, bass, and guitars, and me singing too...Oh and I wrote it too! woohoo). And for all you oldtimers out there, John Sebastian recorded with us on two songs...Magical Connection and Miss Opportunity. John plays a terrific harmonic on Miss Opportunity.

Good stuff. Just out of curiosity, how die the Sebastian connection happen?

Our drummer knows many high profile musicians because he often has to attend trade shows because he works in the recording industry. John Sebastian is a great guy. Most people don't know that his father was a world renowned harmonica player, as is John. That's John on Roadhouse Blues by The Doors...(and our song Miss Opportunity)
