[mrhydek]

"I just wanna keep going faster" sound a lot like the line "mother heads family reunion"

[kmisi1]

motörhead's family reunion

[edderwork]

hey guys! youy can see a hand throwing the mic to richie (0:30). check the screen down on the middle... (LOL)

[tibyv8]

@edderwork He plays guitar, bass, drums, he produces, he directs, I wouldn't be surprised if that was his own hand :))

[MrGermuts]

@edderwork YEAHHHHHHHHH Very funny i've never seen before... hehehehe

[ibanezjem77]

RIchie is a Shredder, Soul Man, Rock n' roller and a bad ass muthafuker on the the old six string. Pure Bred Talent

[Conor4049]

Needs to be some decent live videos of this. Sounds epic on the Sao Paolo album!

[LHondrums]

ich muss kotzen, richie kotzen!!

[4JayeP]

Richie has come a loooooooong way since his shredder days in the late 80's. He's really become a complete musician and artist.

[PyschoticChimp]

You can head to ebay now to buy his trousers from this video... he is having a clear-out and has officially twittered that these pants are up there. Search for him on ebay and you should find it.

[kirraxinn]

Ville Valo of H.I.M lost long older brother with better skills!

[german3715]

I think it was the same drummer who drummed for cacophony?

[nec550]

[newfunkdrummer]

Chevere reChevere no pense que tenia video :)

[AdnStanley]

[guitarist6787]

[cjhc5150]

Hard rock/Blues

[VanishaVampire6]

Good music,we can cali it real rock n roll

[chickenboy2006]

[megatallicadeth]

so far... i think his first album is the best one....

[brngs]

listen no peace sign!

[rafikimetalperu]

lets fuckin groove !

[vailmsteen]

at 0:31 you can see the hand holding the mic . LOL

Great Player , Great Phrasing , Great Groove .

[MarioHolland]

lol

[Tornadoband]

yes , he is Atma Anur from cacophony (go off!) and Jason Becker ( perpetual burn) : )

[JohnnyKwango]

Is that Atma Anur on drums??

[hardhatarea]

I believe so... and whatever happened to him? Such a great drummer.

[nenad1974]

Looks like he's based in Poland nowadays.

[hardhatarea]

This was about Anur :)

[davifernandeslima01]

yes :)

[Loopyta]

Def some TTD dance moves in there...

[nicovudu]

in this video he use Marshall. but now he use Conford RK100 Ritchie Kotzen signature. cheers

[arturomonforte]

I saw hi in a gig playing conford and marshall as well

[FeDeTh04]

Amazin player! what's is amplification? laney? fender?

[nicovudu]

Marshall amps

[kriskolano]

I know everyone's saying he dances like James Brown.. maybe it's just the period the video is from, but I'm getting more of a Terrence Trent D'Arby vibe here.

Although you could argue it's the same diff.

[loungefly1]

Absolutely. I met Richie a few years ago and we struck up a great conversation after I mentioned how much I dug TTD. He said he was also blown away by D'arby and listened/practiced his singing to TTD's debut album intensely and was greatly influenced by his vocals

[highwaystar72]

I saw him open up for Paul Gilbert last year. An amazing live performer. He knows how to work the stage. I'm going to get to see him again tomorrow in Anaheim.

[hardhatarea]

This man IS music.

[DoubleIntruder]

I think one of the best things about Ritchie Kotzen as a guitar player is that he can play some truly superhuman guitar & yet at the same time he knows when to play for the better of the song rather than just show off...

Really awesome singing voice too it kinda reminds me of Chris Cornell in a way & with maybe a bit of Rich Robinson like other guys mentioned..

With the dancing ability of James Brown too, it's clear all men are not created equal..

[hardhatarea]

I couldn't use better words... Totally agree.

[speedburnervideo]

Well said, yes he plays for the song instead of showing off. James Brown dance moves??....well he's very influenced by funk, "Motherheads Family Reuion" JAMES GANG!!!!! (Very influenced by Mr Brown) Anyways, he was SICK as a vocalist at House Of Blues in San Diego 2 weeks back!!!

[ceegee71]

Ups...he´s dancing like Chris Robinson dances and his voice also sounds likely Chris´.

[scunnewman]

Also I get more of Humble Pie/ Steve Marriot vibe from this as opposed to the Black Crowes/Chris Robinson accusation. Someone also stated that Richie is under the impression that he's Chris Robinson. Isn't Chris Robinson under the impression that he's Mick Jagger? Oh well, just a thought.

[skyfrances]

Great song!! Richie is a fantastic musician!

[scunnewman]

This guy really pisses me off. Not only can he play his ass off but he can sing too. Shit.

[MUDSHARK111]

Its worse than that mate, hes good looking and has all his hair . I cling to the hope I have a bigger willy .

[scunnewman]

Oh man. Why did you have to make me aware of that. I'm bald and my current girlfriend has accused me of having a small penis. Now I really hate Richie. Guess I'll go sob in the corner with Rikki Rockett about our small penises and lack of talent.

[MUDSHARK111]

shit sorry man ,but hay your not alone .

[DrumminGod666]

SEXY song

[Lukazg88]

Cool video and great song....

[krelbar]

Great tune. Corny video.

[tmoodyband]

This is badass.... Richie Jagger!

[mariankotzen]

R.K. is an idol.

[adi170185]

atma anur is drummer of cacophony ?

[Drew927]

is that drummer the same drummer who played with richie during his shrapnel record days?

[MrBluesmanJunior]

Yes, this is Atma Anur. I believe he did play with Richie back then. Killer drummer, by the way!

[f0xo9]

30 seconds in, you can definitely see a hand throw the mic stand to Richie.

[takchannaaxe]

こりゃかたがええ。

[shredfusion1]

adoro alla follia questo pezzo

[valeriopasqua]

ritchie kotzen remind me of john petrucci's face.

[hikarimono5]

年下だがカック良い事conouenashi!!!

[Revival1]

I'm doing this song with my band. But my singing needs a lot of work !!

[MUDSHARK111]

bit of a monster to get of.but if you think you can get away with it what the hell.

[MrBluesmanJunior]

I think I'd have trouble singing this even if it was an octave lower, haha...

[Misskatidark]

Excelente!!

tremenda voz la de Kotzen!

Bueno, muy bueno!!!

[TheyCallMeGuitarNoob]

richie have amazig tone voice

[Intellectual123456]

this guitar solo is awsome! the riff at 1:48 sound a bit like a riff from the song "Jump Start" by Greg howe

[Beata090290]

feels good)))

[chickenboy2006]

RULE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[funkyfish74]

Super guitariste, super chanteur...un artiste complet, moi j'adore!!

[yakokucheLONDON]

rock on richie, you are amazing

[heavydecky]

I don't care what anyone says... Richie Kotzen is fucking amazing. One of the worlds finest. He has the looks, the voice and the skill to play like a motherfucker. Thank god for Richie Kotzen.

[chickenboy2006]

yeahh bu he aitn tth famous? i agree with all the points there u got

[mudshovel06]

Because he's not a sellout!:)

[guitargnr29]

can any1 play this on guitar? the riff is hell hard to have the feel for. its a pretty difficult song

[ourtrumpcard]

i love this side of richie! he doesn't care about hits, dude; his catelogue of music is all over the place and he justs keeps putting out records that show his diversity. and you don't get to keep making records if they don't sell :)! and i happen to MISS the 90's (musically & visually) so i think he looks hot! and he can dance like Prince, too. more MHFR, richie!

[chickenboy2006]

Owned !!

[ivopavlov]

The song alludes to the video game Final Fantasy VII, and yea I'm aware that this was the 90's. That's when the game came out.

[f0xo9]

Erm, how?

[superhypercj]

jenova's head reuniting her with sephiroth???

or the antients or something, i cant remember

[superhypercj]

lmao, nice one

[hanky2112]

Atma fucking rocks

[KeYan27]

man he really has been working out. he was so thin back then!

[MUDSHARK111]

Richie gets his tits out agian.jesus man hes worse than helen mirren.one hell of a solo.the guy has to much talent. id have to kick his bony, ass should i ever meet him

[JODIMA101FHYR]

your an idiot

[MUDSHARK111]

your 43 years old .take the comment with humoor it is sent with.grow up take a pill an smile. you fucking misery

[JODIMA101FHYR]

suck shit

[MUDSHARK111]

no to bright are you?.

[JODIMA101FHYR]

Your words speak for themselves. Too bad you have nothing better to do over there, then again shouldn't you be trying to brush your teeth? Oh, I forgot your missing so many what's the point.

[MUDSHARK111]

Jesus man, i was only taking a rhetorical stab at your intellectual ability .now you have elaborated, you have confirmed my suspicions. stick to one line insults more than this exposes you. lol .twat

[ThugSpeak]

owned

[guitarist6787]

yer he was haha, one line insults it true, haha, but tbh why cant u just enjoy the song and not engage in petty arguments. thanks

[gatmaniax]

come along way hasnt he,good band too.

[stalemate2001]

Kotzen is the BEST when it comes to combining guitar playing and singing. I am a guitarist and singer myself, and, DAMN!, he's soooo great doing either thing! THANKS, RICHIE!!! - on the other hand: it wouldn't hurt to wear a shirt for your next video. LOL

[d4nnyladd]

thats sum tasty soloage

[chickenboy2006]

guitar solo...kicks butt

[SirThomaas]

could do without all the dancehouse shirtless shots, clearly an attempt at selling to females, and it's not that this is a bad idea, ritchie is a good looking

guy but their's no attempt at subtlety here, and I think it detracts from what is otherwise a really good song (even though I have absolutely no fucking clue what it means, or what this song is about). the tune and performance have energy and the guitar playing is very tasteful, ritchie's definetely holding back, he's a shredbeast

[adamp2]

getting high ,,,,i see you need to be a director ron howard needs help :OP

[f0xo9]

Heh, I love the bassist and the drummer. And then Richie Kotzen himself is just amazing. Great song.

[pcorrea77]

Great voice, sounds like chris cornell...

[joejordan65]

I love this song!!

[MUDSHARK111]

amazing player .amazing singer.good looking.i hope the feckerr got a tiny dick.

[hardhatarea]

he is a great guitar player, and very diligent one, he is still quite underestimated by people.

[stinktank]

well i said this AND his more recent releases. I also said i'm a fan, it just seems that his stylistic turns are suspect. That said, i DO like the material.

[stinktank]

is he under the impression that he is Chris Robinson? Always loved his playing but with this and his more recent songs, its clear that he is looking for a hit song. Translation: sell out

[Sweeper5]

Richie recorded and released Mother Head in 1994. This release is nothing new or recent, and imho, if Richie had stuck to this vein since 1994, he would have become much bigger than Chris Robinson ever even thought about.

[stinktank]

really, the crowes biggest hit was an Otis Redding song so they wouldn't have even been THAT big haha

[Peelick]

you're musically retarded!!!!

[stinktank]

i am? well i suppose you could say my OPINION is retarded but without knowing me, saying i am musically retarted is a bit of an assumption. Musically, i happen to have an immense knowledge of theory and also happen to shred the fuck out of a guitar. However, i will grant you my OPINION may be retarded. And really, i only consider something a sell out if the artist plays something they don't like and/or dont believe in in order to have a hit

[Autumnmaker]

mmm...you're musically retarded, that's all

[BLaZe071775]

the image is great! to each his own..

this bamd and Ritchie rocks! remember this was in the late 90's folks..

[xdux]

worst dancing ever. gay. leave ure shirt on u fool

!!!! he has a good voice, and he plays good. but the image has to go!

[Zdravko7]

this is awsome

[oceangoyo]

wow that is the gayest fucking thing I think I have ever seen. I bet he thought he had a hit on his hands with that.

[electr0n]

LOL so he fucked your girlfriend too then....

[geetarcliff]

I kind of agree...this is a lame attempt at a hit. Mother HEAD'S??? what the fuck does that even mean? either way, good guitar player.

[zozzyka]

This is the most idiot guitar solo i've ever heard :) Richie Rulez!!!

[electr0n]

Great Moves Great song No wonder the chicks adore him!!

bastard :)

[alienslovesecrets]

wow!!! Man!! I love M.H.F.R.!! AND I NEVER SEE THIS VIDEOS IN MY LIFE!! TANK U MAN!!! IS GREAT!!

[vlucena]
