What a great assembly of players. Too bad there aren't any players since 1990 that can play this. The guitar as a solo instrument died when the Seattle 4 (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden) took over. It's nice to see these guys still got it. Paul Gilbert is probably the most technically accurate, guess that happens when you teach at the guitar institute of technology, but all three of these are great players with their own spot in rock music history
richie kotzen was good but he didnt even hold a fucking candle to C.C. Deville. he is probly the most underated guitarist on the planet so fuck u i dont care wat your opions are your idiots, not including those who agree with me
@slaughterMr CC Deville? Are you on coke or crack? Man what a dipstick...crawl back to mummies breast and keep sucking till you grow up you dweeb... oh yeah I don't agree with your inane comment...
Richie Kotzen is the most complete, he was a shredder before, can play anything outside the circle. he plays blues jazz rock fusion and Rnb and can sing better... Paul plays the same harmonic minor pentatonic and blues scales and a good singer too. Lynch just stock with the metal styles he's good in Dokken though
@dpsd and yet, every one of them managed to get a high-octane career out of their playing, being paid truckloads of money while having fun on stage. unlike alot of pimple-faced, acne-ridden kids on the internet.
they are amazing players, but I think kotzen is the most complete; discussing about technique at their level is a waste of time.. just listen to their sound: Kotzen can play almost EVERYTHING (rock, blues, fusion ,jazz,) Lynch and PG have the skill to play everything too, but Kotzen does it, while they just stil can. Technique is important, but not so much at that level; differently the 90% or more asian players on youtube could be considered as good as them, and obviously it's not like this
@Buttanick you obviously don't know how good kotzen is, you haven''t listen to his first 2 albums.."YOu want Sweep Picking Arpeggios, Speed Picking, mind boggling legatos, dive bombs?" try to research this 1989 Richie Kotzen, 1990 Fever Dream.. he's like 19 at that time.. all things you here on paul gilbert he done that on those first 2 albums.. let me know if you heard them.. and if you're not yet satisfied.. research this here on youtube as well.. Richie Kotzen - Reh Video"
@dpsd That's what I don't want. Sure, Paul can play über fast with super technical licks and riffs but he's more than just that. Listen to Mantra The Lawn, Count Juan Chutrifo or Bronx 1971. Those songs are amazing. Loads of genres, cool chords, complex soloing influenced by fusion, blues, jazz and God knows what. I don't think you know how good Paul is. : )
@MiracleMan9978 i don't deny anything, they are 3 great players, but IMAO from a technical point of view they are more or less at the same level, someone is better in alternate picking, someone else in legato, or tpping, ar sweep picking, but the difference almost doesn't exist.. But if we want to talk about how much they are complete as musicians, Kotzen is the best.. not my fault if gilbert plays everything almost the same way with the same than when he was 18 lol
@raulduke85 I don`t agree with you.. I love MR. Big where Paul Gilbert and Richie Kotzen had played and in my opinion Paul is real engine in that band. I think you shouldn`t tell that PG just only can because in the world of guitar players he is one of the biggest authority. I think they all are greatest player and everyone of them have his own style.
P.S. I hadn`t used english language from collage and I hope you will be patient and charitable for me ;)
@poprostukrzaku ur english is ok; ur opinion is welcome even if different from mine^^; PG IS 1 of the greatest guitar player, as RK; what I said is just that PG always played "only" rock and metal, while RK in theese years choosed to explore more genres and this is a fact: and in my opinion when you listen to them you hear this difference, because is easier that you'll listen RK playing a metal lick than gilbert playing a jazzy one.. he can techincally do it but he doesn't, this is what i meant
It's not a matter of "I like him or I don't"... It's a matter of how talented they are... Richie Kotzen sings, as a real singer MUST sing... Paul just doesn't.... he always tries... and on guitar issues, Paul and Richie are beasts on shredding techniques.... but Paul can not be THAT bluesy as Richie is... a good example: Listen to PG playin' Satch's Boggie....
@NFSUsnake you obviously don't know how good kotzen is, you haven''t listen to his first 2 albums.."YOu want Sweep Picking Arpeggios, Speed Picking, mind boggling legatos, dive bombs?" try to research this 1989 Richie Kotzen, 1990 Fever Dream.. he's like 19 at that time.. all things you here on paul gilbert he done that on those first 2 albums.. let me know if you heard them.. and if you're not yet satisfied.. research this here on youtube as well.. Richie Kotzen - Reh Video"
@aryinc and buddaman1971: I'm a fan of both PG and RK, and I couldn't disagree with you guys more. I can't stand Richie's voice (except on the Forty Deuce album), but I really like PG's voice on all his solo stuff. I much prefer PG's solo stuff w/vox to the newer instrumental stuff.
RK is one of the best rock/soul singers of his generation and he doesn't get nearly enough credit. He's also a stupidly incredible guitar/bass player.
@buddaman1971 Exactly! I remember listening to the Peace Sign CD thinking, "Richie is like Robin Trower on steroids, with a voice at least as good as Jim Dewar's." Sucks that his talent is virtually unknown in the states.
Look from 0:25 to 0: 40 How Lynch is Smokin and Ritchie is Like WTF,and Lynch walks up to Both of them and then they all com in together.LYNCH FUCKING RULES!!!!!!
Kotzen and Gilbert are such amazing performers. Too bad Lynch decided that the Esquire was the way to go, when the honest truth is that he was born for humbuckers.

Is it me or richie kotzen is almost becoming like zakk wylde in built? a few more creatine,no2 and dianabol shall do the trick lolz....awesome guitarist 'em all....paul needs to buff up man hehehehe
I guess Gillan5 has never heard any of the solo albums. Like Steve Hubbard say's check out Richies solo stuff he is an awsome song writer and great lyrics too. He has more soul than any great player.
I would have loved to see this. Three great guitarists. And yes, Richie does have a great voice. That boy can sing and play. Funny, I thought Native Tounge by Poison was one of there best releases, yet it ended up in the cutout bin.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
They should not sing! Leave that to the singers! I hate it when great guitarists try to sing. It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth! Just shut up and play damnit!
name a singer better than kotzen that you in rock today. maybe eric martin maybe. even paul is definitely beyond the vast majority of rock "singers" today
cornell's good but he's very limited kennedy i'll give you but i tend to think of him as a good singer in a rock band rather than i rock singer. as for your other listings i specified "today" they may be alive and giging but except for hagar they were pretty much as big as they're gonna be yesteryear. chickenfoot is not a band but the most epic jam session ever caught on tape
MMMMM, despite your very valid opinion about Chickenfoot, Sammy Hagar is still a great rock singer. Steven Tyler and Paul Rodgers were still giging at least 6 months ago, so they still count. About Kennedy, I think he's awesome, and I've never heard him singing something that isn't rock. Kotzen is an awesome singer, and his performance in "You can't save me" (and a whole lotta other songs) is just jaw dropping. But... Cornell limited????? He can't sing as well as he did 7 years ago, but limited?
i was reffering more to radio rock than your totally awesome examples so my argument is weakened, but i was still mainly reffering to recording projects. as for cornell, despite his undeniable talent at what he does he'll never have the versatility that other greats such as plant and tyler which was made apparent painfully on "screams"(plus to me he'll always be a greater guitarist so your argument is invalid) and i simply meant kennedy's vocal technique is more classical than most rock singers
I hated "Scream" but listen to "Audioslave" and "Superunknown" if you already haven't, he sings awesome!! One question: who are you referring to as a "greater guitarist"? I didn't get that. About Kennedy's technique, he still sings rock, and to me that's enough to be a rock singer. It would be like saying Yngwie Malmsteen isn't a rock guitarist, or Michael Angelo, or that Hendrix was a blues player and Morello is whatever except rock. Rock doesn't care about technique like classical or jazz, IMO
yeah, Cornell is an awesome guitarist, but an awesome 2nd guitarist. He doesn't play solos. He plays rhythm guitar awesome, though. But he is a far better singer, with a powerful voice, a wide range, and an original style. And he is an awesome overall musician, too. Maybe Hendrix practically invented rock technique, but there were some other players who played like that way before Yngwie and MAB, like Eddie VH, Randy Rhoads, Jeff Beck, and some others. And why is Morello fold?
folk is what i meant to say. anywho this debate has gone way farther than it should cornell is amazing but that i mean is he's pretty much limited to doing his own stuff. he couldn't jump in just anywhere and still sound good and screams proved that. his style was at one point unique there are now far too many soundalikes also pete townsend played rhythm but he is worshiped as a god
As a lead guitarist, I am a frustrated bass player, but like most guitarists, have terrible timing, so would be a lousy bassist. If I screw up the timing, I just say it's a 'feel' thing... or Jazz, even... ;-) Bass is so cool: We need you guys!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do we never see bass players have a jam out...has this to do with guitar players being natural attention seekers and ego-trippers or is it musis technically not possible to have fun with four bass players getting out of their skull?
I agree 100%. It IS an ego thing, I am a guitar player and as reluctant as I am to say this, it is true. I crave attention and have a big ego, but I sure do love jammin. Bass players to me are Very comfortable with themselves and do not seem to need the attention that guitar players do. They are GREAT supportive people and musicians and God love them. I need you!!!
Thanks for your comment izzy. I just noticed I got 3 tumbsdown and just cannot figure out why that is. Do people not understand my perfect normal question or are these tumbs from snobish guitarists who are afraid to look in the mirror. I must add that I am a guitarist myself for about 30 years now and it is just something I noticed with always to be guitar players who are having fun with the more guitars the marrier the past time.
two of the best guitar players in the same show! My dream is to watch a show like guitar wars but with Richie Kotzen (guitar & vocals) along with Nuno Bettencourt (guitar and vocals) and Paul Gilbert (also guitar and vocals), Sheeman (bass), and keyboards and drums I don't really know who I'd choose, but I love a good bad "crossover" and "especial featurings"... If you think I dream too much, I haven't even started talking about playing with them live and learning directly from them.... :P
I got to jam with Paul Gilbert for an hour last year at one of his private tutorials and I can tell you, a souless speed tapper he is not! He plays with real emotion and can break into the most stunning blues style when he wants too. He is also extremely humble about his ability. Some of us should be so humble!
Dude Ritchie Rocked the house. His voice is amazing.. i wish i had his voice...or got vocal lessons from him. haha. Paul was amazing that night too. He didnt mess up at all.. The only thing i was thinking when i was listening to his effects was, Damn his new pedals cost a shitload..
You are naive if you honestly believe Paul Gilbert is "souless" in style. Maybe if you have tried listening to anything by him that wasn't just a jam on youtube, you'd know that he is an amazingly talented musician who can play a wide range of styles. Listen to the album "Get Out of my Yard" and then tell me if you think he's still a "souless tapper" or not.
Kotzen is shredding like that just because Paul Gilbert is leading the improvisation and Gilbert is all about speed and tecnique.... Kotzen is a blues man now and is way over that shred masturbation speed playing...
They're talented as hell not saying they suck or anything, just saying those old shrapnel label guys were all the same..." uhh Macalpine plays a diordianphygirianwhatchamacallicer in 64th notes... I'll do it faster and with more sweeping." IT just turns into a couple of guys beating off for 3 hours and blowing notes everywhere. Lynch is guilty at times too but he's a rock guy, put's a lil more feel into his playing than just " I worked on this fretting for 26 hours at MIT".
Well Paul gilbert singing jumping jack flash it's awesome too (and I'll risk to say it's better than kotzen's vocals IMO...)

I guess Gillan5 has never heard any of the solo albums. Like Steve Hubbard say's check out Richies solo stuff he is an awsome song writer and great lyrics too. He has more soul than any great player.

They are all so dammgoodplayers nowadays. But none of them so far could write a really great song - that is kind of sad.

I wouldn't agree with their songwriting abilities... Paul Gilbert wrote a lot of good songs - you should check out his work with MR.BIG.

I would have loved to see this. Three great guitarists. And yes, Richie does have a great voice. That boy can sing and play. Funny, I thought Native Tounge by Poison was one of there best releases, yet it ended up in the cutout bin.

name a singer better than kotzen that you in rock today. maybe eric martin maybe. even paul is definitely beyond the vast majority of rock "singers" today
cnmaster01 2 years ago
well, we all know how good a singer Kotzen is, but... Cornell, Kennedy, Hagar, Tyler, Rodgers
mrbig71014 2 years ago
cornell's good but he's very limited kennedy i'll give you but i tend to think of him as a good singer in a rock band rather than i rock singer. as for your other listings i specified "today" they may be alive and giging but except for hagar they were pretty much as big as they're gonna be yesteryear. chickenfoot is not a band but the most epic jam session ever caught on tape
cnmaster01 2 years ago
MMMMM, despite your very valid opinion about Chickenfoot, Sammy Hagar is still a great rock singer. Steven Tyler and Paul Rodgers were still giging at least 6 months ago, so they still count. About Kennedy, I think he's awesome, and I've never heard him singing something that isn't rock. Kotzen is an awesome singer, and his performance in "You can't save me" (and a whole lotta other songs) is just jaw dropping. But... Cornell limited????? He can't sing as well as he did 7 years ago, but limited?
mrbig71014 2 years ago
i was reffering more to radio rock than your totally awesome examples so my argument is weakened, but i was still mainly reffering to recording projects. as for cornell, despite his undeniable talent at what he does he'll never have the versatility that other greats such as plant and tyler which was made apparent painfully on "screams"(plus to me he'll always be a greater guitarist so your argument is invalid) and i simply meant kennedy's vocal technique is more classical than most rock singers
cnmaster01 2 years ago
I hated "Scream" but listen to "Audioslave" and "Superunknown" if you already haven't, he sings awesome!! One question: who are you referring to as a "greater guitarist"? I didn't get that. About Kennedy's technique, he still sings rock, and to me that's enough to be a rock singer. It would be like saying Yngwie Malmsteen isn't a rock guitarist, or Michael Angelo, or that Hendrix was a blues player and Morello is whatever except rock. Rock doesn't care about technique like classical or jazz, IMO
mrbig71014 2 years ago
i was reffering to cornell. and yngie baito and hendrix practically invented rock technique. morello is a fold guitarist now 0.o
cnmaster01 2 years ago
yeah, Cornell is an awesome guitarist, but an awesome 2nd guitarist. He doesn't play solos. He plays rhythm guitar awesome, though. But he is a far better singer, with a powerful voice, a wide range, and an original style. And he is an awesome overall musician, too. Maybe Hendrix practically invented rock technique, but there were some other players who played like that way before Yngwie and MAB, like Eddie VH, Randy Rhoads, Jeff Beck, and some others. And why is Morello fold?
mrbig71014 2 years ago
folk is what i meant to say. anywho this debate has gone way farther than it should cornell is amazing but that i mean is he's pretty much limited to doing his own stuff. he couldn't jump in just anywhere and still sound good and screams proved that. his style was at one point unique there are now far too many soundalikes also pete townsend played rhythm but he is worshiped as a god

As a lead guitarist, I am a frustrated bass player, but like most guitarists, have terrible timing, so would be a lousy bassist. If I screw up the timing, I just say it's a 'feel' thing... or Jazz, even... ;-) Bass is so cool: We need you guys!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do we never see bass players have a jam out...has this to do with guitar players being natural attention seekers and ego-trippers or is it musis technically not possible to have fun with four bass players getting out of their skull?

why, there's a lot of bass players jammin' around, like victor wooten and steve bayley, alain caron, jean baudin, and alot more

zerobubbel 2 years ago
I agree 100%. It IS an ego thing, I am a guitar player and as reluctant as I am to say this, it is true. I crave attention and have a big ego, but I sure do love jammin. Bass players to me are Very comfortable with themselves and do not seem to need the attention that guitar players do. They are GREAT supportive people and musicians and God love them. I need you!!!

Thanks for your comment izzy. I just noticed I got 3 tumbsdown and just cannot figure out why that is. Do people not understand my perfect normal question or are these tumbs from snobish guitarists who are afraid to look in the mirror. I must add that I am a guitarist myself for about 30 years now and it is just something I noticed with always to be guitar players who are having fun with the more guitars the marrier the past time.

two of the best guitar players in the same show! My dream is to watch a show like guitar wars but with Richie Kotzen (guitar & vocals) along with Nuno Bettencourt (guitar and vocals) and Paul Gilbert (also guitar and vocals), Sheeman (bass), and keyboards and drums I don't really know who I'd choose, but I love a good bad "crossover" and "especial featurings"... If you think I dream too much, I haven't even started talking about playing with them live and learning directly from them.... :P

I got to jam with Paul Gilbert for an hour last year at one of his private tutorials and I can tell you, a souless speed tapper he is not! He plays with real emotion and can break into the most stunning blues style when he wants too. He is also extremely humble about his ability. Some of us should be so humble!

jpjsej18 2 years ago
You are naive if you honestly believe Paul Gilbert is "souless" in style. Maybe if you have tried listening to anything by him that wasn't just a jam on youtube, you'd know that he is an amazingly talented musician who can play a wide range of styles. Listen to the album "Get Out of my Yard" and then tell me if you think he's still a "souless tapper" or not.

Kotzen is shredding like that just because Paul Gilbert is leading the improvisation and Gilbert is all about speed and tecnique.... Kotzen is a blues man now and is way over that shred masturbation speed playing...

They're talented as hell not saying they suck or anything, just saying those old shrapnel label guys were all the same..." uhh Macalpine plays a diordianphygirianwhatchamacallicer in 64th notes... I'll do it faster and with more sweeping." IT just turns into a couple of guys beating off for 3 hours and blowing notes everywhere. Lynch is guilty at times too but he's a rock guy, put's a lil more feel into his playing than just " I worked on this fretting for 26 hours at MIT".
