I have no idea what he does or doesn't do as far as drugs go. But, I do know he turns out a TON of soulful, creative music, including live performances, that show where his real interests lie, MUSIC! You can bet 1 thing for sure....whatever he spends the most time doing will win out.
I look at these comments about Richie. And, it's sad that people love to focus on the struggles and possible problems a person might or might not have, without even having first hand information. Even if he is strung out, I can tell you from first hand experience, that being successful at ANYTHING is almost impossible when you are! So, get a life and stop hating on somebody that has the talent you wish you had!
I first listened to Richie Kotzen around 1998 and I still can't believe the guy's mind-blowing music. Killer guitar player, so good they included him in this documentary :)
This guys are really humble, Jason said the first time he saw Richie, "this guy is kicking my ass"... That speaks volumes of how capable Richie is as a technical player.
@evelskunny what is guthrie govan famous for?... most of these really great guitar players are not even half as famous as poser Slash, yet they are millions of light years above him. Please do not make the mistake of taking fame as an indicator of musicianship quality.
Well,you obviously know a lot about Richie,right? :P
Well,let's begin...he played in Poison,he played in Mr.Big,he is one hell of a player and great composer and vocalist.So,in my opinion,that would be more than enough for someone sane not to question his popularity.
@Timmonsec nah, if it was crack his skin would out him on it. He lives in california AND he's a star guitar player AND he's kinda famous AND he probably hangs out with a lot of rock and roll people so he's probably stoned or drunk. But the hard drugs you can spot easily looking at the hair/eyes/skin
richie kotzen is just a beast, the man can tap any style so easily. Id wish hed make something like the fusion days but cram in everything he has done so far im sure it will just be insane
