Richie Kotzen on Beato

[Vin Diezel]

greatest guy ever

 

[Devin]

Enjoyed that

Wish they would have talked more about Vertu, Kotzen/Howe, Forty Deuce etc.


Hopefully Rick will have Howe on soon

Looking forward to sitting down to watch this. He’s the best live performer I’ve seen.

Dude has that rare combo of very high level vocal and guitar chops and doesn't sound like a shrieking banshee on the mic neither. Not sure I'll watch the whole video or not but it seems like Beato actually washed his hair for that interview so I'm guessing this particular guest was especially important to him.

 

[dr_rbg]

Very excited, I listened a lot of his musing in the early 2000s

 

[Monkey Man]

Hopefully Rick will have Howe on soon

Absorootly!

Love Greg.

 

[chris lykins]

So good to see him playing with a pick again!

Watched this yesterday. I always liked Richie and he is a hell of a player. The part where he is playing the fast runs while talking to Rick just boggles the mind. The little live clip of him playing with his bassist was really cool.

 

[Exo-metal]

Just PLAY and PLAYING with people!!! This is the ATTITUDE. Dude holds all the keys. So inspired by his vision.

Great interview!

Half the interview was spent on vocals. Who gives a shit about vocals I don’t.

 

[VonBonfire]

Who gives a shit about vocals I don’t.

Vocals are way more important to the average listener than the guitar. If you suck on vocals I don't care about your chops, I'm leaving. I know one former major label guitarist around here like that. It's embarrassing and I have a hard time wrapping my head around how such a smoking guitarist lacks any cognizance of how bad he sounds on the mic but I suppose his pride prevented him from hiring a singer.

 

[dr_rbg]

Who can listen to an instrumental music for more than one “song”? I can not

 

[Geo]

I appreciate his approach to music.

 

[dr_rbg]

It was very mature and intelligent interview. In my opinion

 

[theclev]

I'm not a huge fan of Beato, but even still I really enjoyed that. Kotzen is so damn good at so many things.

Whatever, Beatto fucked up the Trower int as well. Also enjoyed while Richie was playing while Beato was trying to talk.

 

[Racerxrated]

Saw him 3x with the Winery Dogs years back. Just an amazing musician; not many (if anyone) have that dual threat talent.

You wouldn't be Carl F if you weren't pissed off about something.

 

[Vin Diezel]

Kotzen is also quite ok on drums and bass.
