Three EXTREMELY talented individuals. Of course the music is gonna rock...

[@Hippimom74]

Ya know, you can have 3 of the best musicians on the planet, but if the songs aren't good it stops right there. I love every single thing these guys create. Inspired me to start playing again. 💙💙💙

[@MLCDelux]

That comment inspired me to start playing again & maybe start writing again too.

[@peteyoung7665]

Great players but the songs are terrible.Not all of them but most of them are just average pop songs.

[@felicsitepu5535]

Same idea l have, Cheers

[@calvinmay35]

Richie is clearly the creative driving force, but the stew of collaboration with Sheehan and Portnoy change the Kotzen formula just enough to be something a little different than his solo albums. But the songs are like 90% match to Kotzen solo songs and much less % for Portnoy. A bit more for Sheehan (Mr. Big) but still far less than Kotzen solo songs.

[@rachelshields1625]

These guys are absolutely AMAZING!!! And in concert they are OUTSTANDING!!! See them if you have the chance!!!! 💯❤

[@markusbiewer2756]

I will see them tomorrow in Frankfurt!

[@funkster007]

As much as I admire each of these guys' technical skills on their instruments, I almost prefer it when they come down to earth and write a solid no frills tune like this one. This should be a hit.

[@pichiebass]

Awesome bass phrase!!!

[@madefordear]

Richie Kotzen the reason i bought Poison album back in 90's. Lol

[@allanmakela3011]

Kotzen has worked hard at honing his craft,so have others,but he knows you have to bring something that will stand out,and he does just that

[@davidbelcher2805]

Standing ovation, well done guys!

[@leejustiss6331]

Great song ! In fact the whole album is killer.

[@DarckCronosaj]

Opa, música nova na area! Adoro essa banda! Merecia muito mais reconhecimento do que tem. Mas é aquilo, se não está no main stream quer dizer que é top!

[@walison.oliveira_yt]

Digo o mesmo, realmente merecia muito mais... Já deixo uma recomendação pra galera de um outro power trio muito bom... The Warning, 3 irmãs mexicanas que, são incríveis.

[@ezbass]

3 guys with monstrous chops, reining it in to serve the song and what a song it is. Kudos, gentlemen. 👏👏👏

[@thierryvidal63]

I'm 58. When I grow up I want to be like Richie Kotzen. And I'll do.

[@RobChandler]

Same here, 56... THIS is the music that I am into and is lacking in todays selection. I can't even believe he uses his fingers for those scorching riffs!

[@nevermanishere]

Richie Kotzen is slowly becoming one of my favorite guitar players (and Billie's always brought the thunder).

[@_bbie]

He has been one of my fav guitarist back then when there's no internet yet. Even before I knew he can sing lol. I found him from 1991 "guitars that rule the world" compilation.

[@lloydkreiser3052]

Love Richie all the way back to Fever Dream in the 80s. He was a guitar hero, but it's astonishing to hear what a great vocalist he is. .. total MVY in any band he's in!

[@godlessveteran2431]

@@_bbie I first heard him on the Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey Soundtrack. He had a song on there and I always dug it.

[@williamgubert]

This song is awesome!! Richie never let us down.

[@lbmetl]

This is a musician's band. You have to know these people in this band, pretty much by being a musician. Thank you winery dogs for giving us musicians a beautiful, fulfilling experience. And thank you for bringing us this on a intimate level. You could sell out big arenas.

[@loudaniel216]

Nicely put. There's a depth of craft in this music that makes it music for musicians. Maybe the compositions are pretty straightforward, and maybe the lyrics are lyrics rather than literature, but this is a tribute to the glorious 20th century artform that is rock music, and it is full of enjoyable reference and nuance because they have the musicianship to speak that language. Check "Stars" for a mashup of Alice in Chains vocals and Radiohead guitar. Says me.

[@dennisr.c.3093]

Gosto do Soundgarden e entendo muita gente querer uma reunião com o Richie pela semelhança do vocal, mas pra mim seria um desperdício. O Winery Dogs é espetacular como é também a carreira solo dele, não precisa substituir ninguém que continue com trabalhos autorais ele é foda demais!

[@fernandoprivitera573]

Richie no necesita ir a soundgarden con lo que él hace, con las bandas que tiene (TWD , Smith/kotzen, Richie Kotzen), y con la producción de música interminable de su cabeza, sería rebajarse , aparte su voz siempre fue así en todo caso que la gente de soundgarden escuche a Richie y sus proyectos..abrazo!!

[@mika5802]

Yes sound garden is good , but agreed to stay at simplicity and still very2 good 😁

[@BrandonStandberry]

No one sings like Chris anymore,not even Kotzen himself could fill his shoes on a good day

[@fernandoprivitera573]

​@@BrandonStandberry let's not exaggerate!!!...I like Kotzen's voice better, Chris's sounds fine to me...on the other hand Chris should be born hundreds of times and he wouldn't be a musician like Richie, multi-instrumentalist, guitarist of the gods, and not only privileged voice.

[@fabianoguerini2515]

Sábias palavras... tenho a mesma opinião!!!

[@TimJohnsen57]

Awesome rock! I'm old and don't go to concerts anymore, however next time you are close enough, I'm there.

[@sherylzajkowski1460]

Old people can go to concerts too!! Enjoy!

[@RiquezaEmGotas]

This is a top level band. They can run rings around most everybody.

[@DaviDuarteRocha]

Definitely one of the best bands in action nowadays!!! 👏👏👏

[@partriotsfight5039]

Ever IMHO.

[@monxyo]

Oh yes!!

[@user-tv4cd7dp2p]

It is the best, today's music is trash compared to this!! Pure gold, takes me back to 80s and 90s where all the talent was, and now... u have these guys, amazing

[@Captain_Kuntz]

What a sound they produce for a 3 piece. Great band Billy Sheehans a Bass master.

[@guillermodelnoche]

I absolutely love this band but feel guilty every time I hear Richie sing that I want him to front Soundgarden and give us new music with them. Great song!

This tune rocks!! Richie is so badass!! Great band with one of the greatest singer/songwriter/guitar virtuoso's in music history! Yeah! I said it!

[@sarcophage]

The other 2 dudes seem to know a thing or two about playing their instruments too ;)

[@bradbeam3767]

@Rob Doyle Yes...I agree 💯 % I'm well aware of who Billy Sheehan and Mike Portnoy are , combined they should/could be considered a 'supergroup'. I'm not taking anything away from those guys at all... But let's face it...this is Richie's band. ✌️🤘

[@aladdinsane7882]

I agree with every word. Truth for real.

[@jeffwolinski2659]

The best Billy has sounded since Mr. Big! Tasty grooving playing with some chops but not too overboard, and bass tone not so over distorted.

[@venusmc2824]

I absolutely love this song. The music kicks ass and the lyrics ring true. You 3 are amazing together! Love the harmony on the vocals as well. Finger Pickin, Thumpin hardrivin delicious dose of ROCK! Been Waiting on this!

I agree. I always said Richie and Chris were 'brothers from another mother'. Wouldn't it have been great to hear a duet with those two powerhouse voices! (RIP Chris

[@stephanmurray-y5e]

I hear Cornell all over his voice. But Chris didn't have Portnoy or Sheehan.

[@galetinm]

​@@stephanmurray-y5eif you're implying that they are better than Soundgarden, you're wrong. So many Soundgarden songs are better than this. They might be great musicians, but their songs are meh up to this point.

I've got nothing to say because the music and musicianship says it all.

These guys are kicking some serious ass. Never pictured these three guys hooking up but every album they put out rocks. There’s some serious chemistry going on between these three. I hope they keep it up. (And I hope they come to Rhode Island, so I can see them live.)

They started this tour in the Northeast back in February. You may have missed them this time unless they come back at the end.

Since the beginning of your power trio, this has been one of the tastiest and listenable bands I've heard. Not into much in this day and age (uggggg, pop and rap, please make it stop! ) but this is an exception. The excellence of the musicianship is undeniable, but the soulful vocals are what put things together for me.

Cool camera work, video editing, and nice smoke machine for an excellent song. The sound engineering and musical phrasing join for an endorphin charged experience. Roll that clip again. This is better than primetime ABC, CBS or NBC. The lyrics are great, the melodies and the chord progression are imaginative and uplifting. Fantastic.

This is perfectly crafted song with great production. Oh yeah, those 3 gentlemen can play like nobody's business. Well done guys!

[@mitsanut5869]

It's interesting to hear the staggering difference between an American and European production. Where European bands employ very polished sound producers that impacts negatively the original idea of rock and it's derivates, this sound is a typical presentation of raw power of unfiltered production where compressions and other tricks are kept to a minimum, and it results in very lively sound. It's funny - it wasn't like that in the 70's. There was a difference in musical approach but the sound was pretty much loaded with the natural energy. It all started to change in early 80's when European rock/metal bands tried to separate themselves from overly aggressive punk and went onto a different trajectory. I myself like such results sometimes but in the end, I will always prefer the raw sounding records like this. The atmosphere it creates is cutting through to your heart and it resonates so much better with the listener. Very good track.
