The Shadow (Live Performance Video by Richie Kotzen)

[@leswadley6792]

this guy keeps moving up my list of fav guitar players but just calling him a guitar player is just not right;the man has serious talent as a singer and song writer.

[@nexdrums]

I totally agree!

[@stargazerh112]

Bassist and keys too👍

[@stargazerh112]

I’ve always gravitated to these underrated type of artists

[@ovrholofficial]

Totally agree. He’s like a John Mayer if John Mayer had a penis

[@molomono9795]

@@ovrholofficial As much as it's fun to hate on the mainstream, i think a more fair comparison is that both artists have similar influences but John Mayer got into funk and Jazz. While Kotzen went in the direction of glam rock and metal. But deep in the core of their songs, you can hear the Stevie ray vaughn influences in both artists. So if you define "to rock out" as having a penis then your statement holds very well.

[@VonHoganSchmidt]

I say it everytime.There is nobody anywhere near as good as this guy.Not even close.

[@FerG-23]

I love this song. How can he sing that high; so much concentration on singing... and still playing guitar the way he does...

[@phillecompte3438]

Practicing a hell of a lot.

[@zw1538]

This guy deserves more credit than he gets, a great musician.

[@LeoWang28]

lol he has credit ...dude lived or lives in a mansion. Traveled all over the world playing with great bands for years and years. He got all he deserved. People who dont know enough about him think he is this underground unknown poor guy. Those who have been following him from the beginning know better.

[@matthazelby506]

​​@@LeoWang28It's like when idiots use the underrated comment like sheep.Rating someone due to your musical tastes and not selling out to make millions isn't the same as wishing everyone knew and liked him.I guarantee if he sold his soul,record execs would tell him what to put out and you'll never get the authentic Richie.The masses can keep their Adeles and keep calling it soul.😂 like how usher and all that 💩 are now classed as R'n'B. When in all actuality, I'm more moved by first dump of the day.👊🎸

[@JOSEMASTERLUTHIER]

Cada vez que escucho al Sr. Richie Kotzen , el tema The Shadow , se me pone los pelos como escarpias , este Sr. es TREMENDO Y BUENISIMO.

[@TheFedericothegreat]

I`ve never had envy for a musician just admiration, but with this guy is both; damn too much talent and rockstar look ... pure musical genius.

[@nexdrums]

XD same . He is fucking sexy . Told by hetero . I admire him so much :)

[@LucasSeman]

No comments yet?? Come on guys!! Richie, keep on rockin´, you´re right up there with the greats. Cheers from Curitiba, Brazil!

[@pvofbodom]

Cheers from Rio de Janeiro \m/_

[@garypiela3855]

Man Richie your vocals are the greatest man just un f--kin believable how blessed you are to have been born with that rasp and range and soulfull tone, beautiful melodies..and you guitar playing kills... it just doesnt get any better than this.

[@juanmdiaz2399]

Richie is fantastic, so gifted He has all the power of a Rockstar, just regal🤟🤟🤟

[@dianablount6291]

Love the voice, the guitar, all of it. Kotzen is the total package.

[@jeffmize5702]

Richie is always amazing, on guitar and vocals - one of the best! And that rhythm section is TIGHT! Excellent bassist!!

[@VonHoganSchmidt]

my opinion is this is one of the Best #'s I ever heard, off one of the Best records I ever heard by the Best all around musician There is.

[@myklaaron7879]

Shadows are livin' I know who they are Don't tell me I'm crazy because Im too far Shadows I live with They watch when I fall And no one can stop me from what I believe Love is all I've never known And all I've ever wanted to feel But I won't ever feel... And the shadow knows The war in my mind Shadows are resting in my soul And the shadows breathes the eyes see everything Haunting in my heart until I die... Wasting my time just trying to be My friends have no faces just voices Somehow they help me when I'm lost in my life And give me the strength to get out of it Love is all I've never known And all I've ever wanted to feel But I won't ever feel... And the shadow knows The war in my mind Shadows are resting in my soul And the shadows breathes the eyes see everything Haunting in my heart until I die... Love is all I've never known And all I've ever wanted to feel But I won't ever feel... And the shadow knows The war in my mind Shadows are resting in my soul And the shadows breathes the eyes see everything Haunting in my heart until I die...

im absolutly fan of richie from 80s and ever make great music but now the new songs are more bluesy and i think he found the perfect way to his music congratulations richie your fan number one in mexico armando larrock

[@HENRIAALTO]

Richie is no doubt one of the most talented musicians. He sings , plays : guitar, bass, piano, drums. All the above better than anyone !

[@Clayton139]

Go Richie! You are the most unrecognized talent of our time! As Todd Rundgren was at one time! Todd Rundgren 's music is timeless!

[@juniorassuncao6183]

Love this song! Thanks for all the wonderful songs.

[@MrGika33]

Richie thanks for this present. I enjoy your home videos a lot more than a DVD. This is so unique. It sounds so perfect!!!! How many current famous bands should learn about what real music is??? They should watch this video.

[@mhollandtag]

Perfection ! I am moved!!! One of the Richie Kotzen songs I have always wanted to hear live ! Thank you Richie ....

[@hugovalenzuela-garcia2820]

I saw his show in Barcelona this year (2019): Richie you are a genious. When guitar heroes started to blossom he was already there doing amazing things. He has one of the best voices ever in the rock scenario (comparable with Cornell's with all my respects, RIP ) and of course, he is an AMAZING guitarist (even using your fingers on the right hand!): in this sense he's not only underrated, I would compare him with Hendrix or SR Vaughan. And last but not least: besides all that you are handsome! (I HATE YOU MAN!) Keep doing what you do best, Richie. And he's getting better and better every record! Please, come again to Barcelona son alone or with the Winery Dogs. I will pay you a beer or two :-)

[@MidnightRider76]

almost forgot how great this song is.. The real deal as always.

[@Addicted-2-Guitars]

This is about as real .... and awesome as it it gets folks!

[@dzohusafetw]

[@lockandroll87]

Shine is a song written by Ritchie for Mr.Big and it is also featured on his own album - Change

[@nexdrums]

I liked MrBig times ...indeed I prefer PG with'em but RK wasn't bad at all. RK imho is great with Sheehan and Portnoy. Period 🤘🏻
