Richie Kotzen - You Can't Save Me

[harbingerofgiggles]

Love this guy, he sounds more pissed than any death metal band and does it with style and class. Punctuated frequently by the usage of f**k. Musical genius at work :)

[TwoHandedTyr]

For all those wondering how someone as amazingly talented as Richie Kotzen isn't huge just listen to the lyrics of this song. He couldn't deal with selling out, so he just said Fuck it all.

[LesPaulSLAVE]

WTF is this shit?

[handsomerube]

@LesPaulSLAVE this "shit" is real music...not that auto-tuned bullshit that's popular today.

[jaybone520]

Why isn't this Guy huge? He can jam. He's got the look. Shoulda been bigger.

[7Trisanaty7]

@jaybone520 cuz hes not a sell out! duh. honestly the record contracts are like producing revenue for big corporations for fame at the cost of also losing creative control and becoming a tool! so basically youre left with money and fame. hes a musician not a teenage girl

[modgisha]

i love u man

[ConnorMorin]

29 people sent this to their mothers.

[gtirebel86]

I thought this was Sammy Hagar and i couldn't find this song anywhere! this song kicks ASS \m/

[practicemakesperf]

we re lucky guys all of us... we have this guy!

[hollolito]

the like/dislike bar looks like a pencil :)

[Pavelisimus]

@hollolito Yeah, because the eraser thing is for losers who can't make it from the first time. :)

[hsnbldn]

Some of famous n rich people disliked the song so what r we doing '' We'll walk away'' but before ? :)

[Chandlorexia]

Wow...he has that Chris Cornell kind of voice except it doesn't sound like a fucking lobster has caught a hold of his balls.

Eh better said that Chris C has his voice.

[ChineseTOP]

@Chandlorexia ye it sounds a bit like chris cornell but well, i personally think chris cornell is the best vocalist out there or atleast he was if u dont think that just type beyond the wheel live 1990 and well, just do it :)

[joshuashell]

i fucking love every word of this song and to the haters who dont you can suck a row of dicks

[sheketproduction]

Who is this 27 Motherfucker dislikers....

[Laturamedus]

It´s so fucking good!

[SilverByte69]

Yeah, this song is about a chick... aren't all such songs about a woman. They, women, can bring us, men, to our FUCKIN' KNEES... and they don't even break a sweat doin' it. Like fuckin' cats they are,,, no matter how high you throw them they always land on their feet... pisses me off but I like that about them, women, they got strength where I don't... Any takers?

[Alpha7xxx]

This is painfully bad.

[handsomerube]

@Alpha7xxx painfully badass, yes...

[trashum75]

He should sing more tragic songs, with this vocal powerful

[AvivCMusic]

Amazing music.

[dannywizz]

What he did with poison was great

[JTrut19]

I think its about a chick lol. This guy has like a Chris Cornell mixed with AC/DC voice its kick ass

[PlacidDirge]

I believe that this is my first time hearing Kotzen, so far I like what I hear.

[HelloImMrBob]

420!

[joshtheblueguy]

the musical versatility and growth in richies style is something that continues to impress me. i dont think anyone would have expected him to go the direction he did from his days as a teen on shrapnel records

[Telac993]

One day..I'll meet you Richie Kotzen. I will. I promise you.

[Heineken1712]

he looks like michael jackson at 2:41 oO

[MsLyly43]

Essa musica é lindaa !

[Flemee978]

I think this song is about his frustration with mainstream music and the handpicked artists the record companies keep spewing out so they can just take in the dough.

[WMRomania]

I think this song is about Jesus Christ. Jesus CAN save Richie!

[LeeboProductions]

@WMRomania The song is clearly not about Jesus and having met Richie I can tell you for a fact the man doesnt need saving... especially not by Jesus.

[WMRomania]

@LeeboProductions ok.but what's about it then?

[LeeboProductions]

@WMRomania Quite a few thing I would say, the only way to know for sure is to ask him yourself. Listen to the lyrics, he's clearly not talking to God.

[DethByMyIbanezAxe]

@LeeboProductions Richie obviously believes in God. If you listen to a lot of his songs, it's very obvious.

[LeeboProductions]

@DethByMyIbanezAxe I didnt say that he didnt believe in God, only that he is a good man and doesnt need saving.

[TheMightyEmperor]

I'm missing the "fuck" in the title ;)

[stalker528]

Thumbs up if you are still watching this is 2011

[MemoirsofanAsshole]

I didn't realize until this song how much Richie and Sammy Hagar voices sound alike...

[gabeglenn]

Why was John Maher even mentioned in this comment thread.... multiple times even. This guys lyrics have more than 2 sentences repeated

[bodhisattvaPatty]

SERiously~~!!!!!! Why is John Mayer famous and this guy is not???!!!!

I agree with you~!  TRAVISCRUSEGUITAR

[CarpeDM91]

ΕΛΛΑΔΑΡΑ!

[Baktiridion]

@CarpeDM91 ετσι ρε!!!

[0t4c0on]

DAMN! THIS SOUNDS LIKE TED NUGENTS "STRANGLEHOLD" :I ...

[Guppy915]

He sings really good also, I like his sound.

[MsDepression666]

osuum

[SAPIOMPOURDELIS4]

ο χαμενος αδερφος του μαρτακη....ρε ειναι ιδιοι

[shingay0204]

nice voice

[acex1989]

Man he really likes to take baths with guitars... Eh well if that's what makes the music sound so awesome then it's fine by me :)

[sixstringartist]

First time I heard this I thought it was Sammy Hagar. What a voice.

[ginadantas]

Sexy e manda muitíssimo bem na guitarra!!!!

[nicolaevic]

The Verse really reminds me of Chris Cornell voice! sounds like him sometimes

[chicmistique]

sexy!!!!!



[darkrain111798]

[krelbar]

[thetonphi]

[VelvetViolator]

Ran out of photographs over there??

[hippiepsycopathz]

THis is my guitar homework and Iam not hearing any shred which is the grouping he was put in.... fast shredders. This has to end witha bad a ss solo... he is compared with malmsteen and others in G tat mags....? 3:00

[pl0x22]

I sold my bad taste in music just so i could keep hearing this song!

[MBrokenString]

[Telac993]

You can't save me.

[abidyo]

Fuck Your money!

[ThomasJordt]

[Flaah2008morenaa]

[gibsongirlxx]

KILLER SONG ~ AWESOME SINGER ~ REAL COOL GUITARIST & A HOTTIE ALSO OF COUSE ;))

[jojolane15]

[LUNATOONIC]

[Foose1337]

id love to play this song on guitar. has anyone the tabs for it???? this would be aaaawesome :P

[vicenteroma]

@Foose1337 I could make a tab for you, if you help me with "my english"

[amracuric1]

best best best song ever

love the part

save your fucking self

Richie your the best !!!!

[delabu]

at least john mayer gets to sleep with the celebrities hahaha!

[vicenteroma]

@delabu He's dating Deanna Eve... good wrestler LOL

[mitchtube3]

yeah man bonamassa is the man. seen his set at high voltage festival 2010? EPIC

[coltsrule5150]

should be hearing this on the radio....oh wait... lol cant

[mitchtube3]

also his song 'fooled again touches me in places.

[mitchtube3]

john mayer might play some gay pop music but his heart lies with the john mayer trio playing funky bluesy stuff. check out 'who did you think i was'. hes a very good musician. now one should speak bad about him if they havent heard the stuff he lives for.

anyway now john mayer has been defended i can say Richie Kotzen is absolutly awesome and i agree he should be more famous, although sometimes this can spoil people. then again he has been in Mr. Big which is pretty damn good going...

[DerEchteBold]

shit! i thought this song's going to be great but the chorus absolutely ruins it

[DiBiasehere]

This guy is the best out there right now.

[tomkaymusic777]

My favourite artist of all time, He's got everything...great songwriter, flawless guitarist, amazing singer, can play and write in various genres, looks like the coolest guy on the planet, has 2 fantastic signature guitars and he comes across as a down to earth guy.

Kotzen is the man

[leckszxa]

@tomkaymusic777 Plus he's fckn hot!

[TheAngeNoir7]

I love this song...the feeling,,,

[acantha10]

awesome!!

[chinostaley]

Such anawesome voice.This is the song i wanna hear when i'm havin' an orgasm.Lol.

[guitarsolo365]

What Albums This Song On?

[troyzim]

@guitarsolo365 Into the Black is the album

[guitarsolo365]

@troyzim thank you

[Johnny1982ab]

in german "kotzen" means to throw up :-D

[oOBeaZtOo]

@Johnny1982ab Itz not throw up...itz vomit ;)

[DieNarbe]

@Johnny1982ab Weshalb er niemals eine Frau aus Deutschland heiraten wird ;)

[handsomerube]

@Johnny1982ab yes, and richie throws up awesomeness!!!

[DirkjeA]

@handsomerube Ha, most sane reply you could give on that useless comment. ;-)

[hhliveson]

every time i hear this song... instant adrenaline

[isthoed]

@hhliveson hell ya

[loveendlessly1]

great lyrics,so true...

[Ignorancecheck]

just came across this though ive heard of kotzen as a good guitarist years ago. Rockin man and sweet bluesy riff

[Koteycoyote]

WOW another mainstream poser...

[NOXLT]

another arrogant person...

[posro1988]

fuck it I'm walking away

[traviscruseguitar]

How is John Mayer famous when there are guys like Richie Kotzen out there?

[petsnowflake]

@traviscruseguitar,

damn good question.

[ltuomela]

@traviscruseguitar ahhh 4 Grammy's..lol

[JeezoozeChrysler]

@traviscruseguitar because John Mayer plays simple gay pop music,Richie is a bit more eclectic = people want to hear simple dumb music so they don't need to put effort in listening.

[JeezoozeChrysler]

@traviscruseguitar because John Mayer plays simple gay pop music,Richie is a bit more eclectic = people want to hear simple dumb music so they don't need to put effort in listening.

[dmb3305]

@JeezoozeChrysler the songs that made Mayer famous are pop and arent that great, but the dude is immensely talented. He can really really play, I mean he graduated from Berklee. His blues stuff is incredible, plus it almost isnt fair to compare him to Richie Kotzen, who might be the most musically talented person on the planet.

[JeezoozeChrysler]

@dmb3305 eheh yeah I was half - kidding,I'm familiar with Mayer's playing which i consider brilliant,but his songs leave me a bit mmmmhh .I prefer Bonamassa ;-)

[dmb3305]

Bonamassa is phenomenal. Love his stuff with Black Country Communion. Hey we have similar music tastes, check out a guy named Drew Zaunbrecher. He's an undiscovered local boy, but he's a great talent, playing, singing, absolutely superb. He has his website you can google. Peace.

[AntBelch]

@traviscruseguitar Because people can Relate to John Mayer, and the way he sings is more appealing to those same people.

[fightnight217]

@traviscruseguitar well john mayer is the man. this guy is great too.

[vicenteroma]

@fightnight217 I believe it0s the other way aroudn

[filips989]

@traviscruseguitar Who's John Mayer?

[vicenteroma]

@filips989 Is a great singer and player too... but obviously Richie is the best and the beast

[RicardoDiazHimself]

@traviscruseguitar thats actually what i think a lot of the time! my employer loves john mayer and i absolutely cant stand him...but i love richie and i tell him richie should be in the place john mayer is...

[RowboCaup]

@traviscruseguitar Because John Mayer is a fucking good musician. But Kotzen DEFINITELY deserves some more recognition. It's amazing how talent like this can go unseen...

[pipsqueek14]

@traviscruseguitar yeah, i personally think richie is better than mayer

[Fendershred50]

@traviscruseguitar Because John Mayer is also a beast. But together they would be the beastliest.

[traviscruseguitar]

@Fendershred50 Yeah man. I was actually listening to the radio the other day and heard this bitchin' medley of Lenny and The Wind Cries Mary and it turned out to John Mayer. He definitely has his strengths, I just don't really like the dude.

[Fendershred50]

@traviscruseguitar Yeah you're definitely right I gotta agree with you. He's really good at guitar but yeah I just kinda see him as too poppy, not exploiting his blues skills as much as he can. Richie on the other hand is pure soul. A real player.

[danielvarjao]

@traviscruseguitar John Mayer is famous because he is another great musician just like Kotzen, there are space for both in the mainstream.

[oilkills]

@danielvarjao But thats whats wrong with popular and mainstream!

No one knows who Shawn Lane is!!!!!!

And he's the greatest Guitarist And Pianist of our time!!!

Talent doesn't equal popular, cuz no one had more talent than Shawn!!!

Btw, Kotzen is awesome!!! Peace!

[duendeflamenco87]

@traviscruseguitar Cause Mayer's style is kinda pupular

[dudewow111111]

@traviscruseguitar

you are a flipin retard each had his day mcfly...man i so wanna whopp your stupid ass

[traviscruseguitar]

@dudewow111111 ....what?

[StcNick]

the guitar totally sounds like a stranglehold rip-off

[ceruleancascade]

But.. but.. but.. This doesn't have that talentless, pretentious MTV Emo or Indie influence that all modern rock music has now.. How am I suppose to like this ? I mean, he's a talented guitarist who is probably better than anyone else in the spotlight right now, and has impressive vocal range and tone. I mean, he even writes his own music for crying out loud.. It's liek so old-n-cheesy-n-stuff yaz know ? I'mma go listen to Linkin Park <==== Sarcasm.

[SilverByte69]

Great song... There are many that have never heard this stuff... I am one of the fortunate ones... This shit stirs my soul. In a nutshell.

[Joan34S]

17 people are retarded this song is legend!! :D

[LARUSBATCH]

my thoughts exactly very cornell esque still take nothing away from the guy very talented songwriter. sounding like cornell just an extra perk for him

[RyanTerrancePScott]

he sounds like chris cornell

[Riffronan]

@RyanTerrancePScott so true (!)

[TheTowncalledSalida]

I was listening to this song when there were only like 92 views

[FRIDAY13TAURUS]

THIS SONG SUCKS...FUCKIN STUPID ASS SONG...TRYING TO BE SOMETHING YOU'RE NOT

[SilverByte69]

@FRIDAY13TAURUS Taurus? Friday the 13th? what you tryin' to scare someone with your bullshit? Fuck off, you loser

[SilverByte69]

Fuck you, boring ass Taurus... Take you shit, put it in your mouth and eat it. Fucking bitch, pussy... If you don't like the song then move on... what a fucking loser, u r

[FRIDAY13TAURUS]

@SilverByte69 yeah coming from you the idiot with the Disturbed profile picture...nice one idiot...

[dcdeal001]

awsome . fucking awsome .. nearly a bit grungyy

hey kurt, listen, some kind of positive grunge music ... cool stuff. .. 

[HMBitch987]

so facking awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[urielmirror]

Um puta guitarrista que ainda toca baixo, bateria e, de quebra, pra frescar com o resto, faz músicas bonitas pra caralho com a voz muito singular que ele tem \m/

[seltucci]

Maravilhoso...pena que não o conheci antes...

[snakeater1810]

i love you richie

[laequis]

vocals sammy haggar?

[stuntguitar7]

@laequis No thats Richie singing. He's not just an incredable guitar player but he's about as good a singer too. Too much talent for one person.

[laney50w]

Sort'a has a Chris Cornell feel to it.... Good tune!

[Samsun55]

fuck your money!

[sertuangel]

lovee u richiiieee (L

[MrClaptonstrat]

if they need someone else for Get Him to the Greek, here's ur guy

[DKDamilos]

@MrClaptonstrat Why you guys in the US call Greeks these retarded student groups? I am from Greece and it's getting a bit offensive to be honest. How'd you americans feel if we called the toilet 'Washington' for example?! :p

[2001bluerata]

@DKDamilos I can understand why you might be offended by such thing, but I would be more than honored if a small part of the American culture became a part of tradition in the lives of growing youths in another country. These "student groups" are college fraternity and sororities. The students in these groups take great pride of their Greek names! They build friendships and bonds with each other that may last a life time. It's not something that is done in a disrespectful way.

[MrClaptonstrat]

@DKDamilos what the fuck? I was saying him instead of Russel Brand for the movie Get Him to the Greek? the Greek is a theater in L.A....

[TheJayzeee]

Fuckin awesome Lyrics.......

[LibraMediaLtd]

from the heart :) how tunes should be...

[freakonaleash1215]

is this on an album? if so, what one?

[vaughaning]

@freakonaleash1215 The album is called "Into The Black" from 2006...

this is track 01...

[Mathidal]

@freakonaleash1215 I'm afraid I have some bad news for you. They don't produce this album anymore. That is at least what a music dealer told me. You can either buy it second hand (but which fool would sell this album?) or download it from amazom. :)

[AV85]

@Mathidal Actually, you can find the album new on amazon. NOT a digital version.

[Mathidal]

@AV85 Really? I thought the whole time it was used.

If it isn't, I will definitely buy it. :)

[xclef101]

Nice Nice Nice

[Mathidal]

I love the Robert Plant-influence you can here in this song. :)

I'm not fast satisfied about singers, but Ritchie Kotzen is actually... incredibly epic!

[retardatismo]

Fuck your money

Fuck your fame

Fuck my life

I'll walk away

Fuck our love

Fuck I'm sorry for anything I've ever done

[TheFallOutBoyFan13]

too cool and deep for alot of people nowadays

[ralber77]

Just one word: INTENSE.

It gave me goose bumps all over

[ltuomela]

wtf man why edit anything....thats the problem with fuckin people to afraid to hear or say whats on their fuckin mind..dont butcher a great fuckin song fuckers..

[fhrostbyte]

The lyrics to this song are perfect

[NKE38500]

fuck your money, fuck your fame .... I m going away ....

j'adore

[PC160]

Hard to understand why you'd want to edit the F*** out of this song.....it blunts the whole message.....unless you were listening in mixed company(like with kids).

This is an "adult" song. I'm afraid Ritchie is falling through a huge crack...he should be more famous and recognized for the huge talent he is.
