Its brutally beautiful

[@MrDandanhesourman]

Only three musicians but perhaps the greatest "super group" ever assembled! All three are kings in their own right! And Richie deserves a lot more from the music industry. He's loved by fellow musicians, but the industry has done him wrong for so many years. He may be content in his life now, but it doesn't mean that he can't still get the accolades he deserves.

[@kennyfoster655]

Agreed. He's got the talent and charisma to be a household name...

[@greendroid-indiedev]

Actually, there are 2 guitars often. And even maybe a synth during the chorus.

[@edwardjons8684]

Damn. That solo. People talk about Nuno being the outstanding rock guitarist right now and I do love his playing, but this is on another level.

[@A_minute_Focus]

Two are so different in style that we can't compare them :)

[@10buck289]

Damn. That solo. Yes, that amazing solo. It is so everything, so musical and unique. It blows me away. I think its one of the greatest solos ever.

[@pepeanza6187]

Total diferent styles i like Richie much More and he have and amazing voice

[@godlessveteran2431]

Richie is great and all, but he's no Nuno.

[@dubstep2496]

Nuno loves Ritchie too. Glad good guitar players give him respect

[@KenCarver]

Another perfectly crafted tune with master musicians who play to serve the song. Well done, gentlemen.

[@partriotsfight5039]

I am all about Richie Kotzen being my favorite artist ever. I mean his guitar playing, vocals, and songwriting abilities are just off the chart, and as far as I’m concerned, nobody hold a candle to him in any one of those categories. That said every member of this band are just absolutely phenoms.. bravo. They continue to get better every album. Best trio ever in my opinion

[@sidharris3735]

He’s like Chris Cornell (RIP) with cleaner timbre. He’s like Nuno with more exotic scales, and the band has unbelievable restraint.

[@DFmar1986]

the sound it's phenomenal, that phaser sound it's nailed

Love the comments so far. There are some very smart people that claim Winery Dogs. I am proud to be one of them.

[@leepshin]

This just appeared in my feed. No idea who they are but they sound fkn amazing plus it's an original song in 2023 that sounds like something from the early to mid 80's. I'm hooked.

[@theantidentite]

you can basically follow richie kotzen career start to finish and find a lot of great stuff!

[@matteogerii]

Great Billy who steps aside to entertain the other two talents. stepping aside and doing a simple job to get the others out is a huge sign of greatness

[@oneunitedgirl]

Well said! 😄

[@mjolnircarlssen4211]

There was only room for one hat in this video, as well. Billy, again, rises to the occasion by stepping to the side.

[@seankelly1366]

I love how Billy approaches his Bass ability with Sons of Apollo.... He totally delivers the John Entwhistle approach when it comes with the songs with that band

[@michelealfo9058]

Touché

[@keitharcari]

My favorite rock bassist of all time! He brings the best out of everyone!

[@jasonknaub4352]

From song writing to guitar work unmatched NOBODY doing like this trio! NOBODY!

[@user-ik6nb9cr3e]

Рок жив и эти парни знают как он должен звучать и умеют его играть! На одном дыхании смотрел!! Браво!!!

[@VincePalamaraJFK]

Beautiful song and the video rules! Richie's voice is amazing and his solo is very lyrical and impressive. Mike Portnoy is a god on drums, while Billy Sheehan is the master on bass. Phenomenal band, live or in the studio.

[@FactsBeFacts]

Yeah, he tries hard to sound like Cornell.

[@powerglory100]

Hey, it's the Cameo dude! "Vince Palamara, Vince Palamara, Vince Palamara"

[@Neil-Aspinall]

Complete with the bass line from Strange Kind of Woman by the Deeps in the verses.

[@johnfracentese266]

The masters at work! 🐾 Another great offering from WD III. Blessings Billy, Mike and Richie for this amazing video and phenomenal album!!!

[@StilettoKix]

right on! my favorite band.

[@gigatronicdeth]

I like that they all are keeping a simple groove that they are all locked in. None of them are playing too busy or obnoxious.

[@mr.e8432]

This is a perfect example of why these guys are so good. Richies guitar playing on this leaves a lot of open space that could easily be filled up by Billy and Mike going off, but they’re playing for the songs, not letting their egos get in the way. All three albums so far have been fire. How these guys are not selling out stadium shows is beyond me. Guys, whatever your writing process is… DON’T CHANGE IT. Whatever you’re doing is working.

[@mauriceramirez6728]

Well said!!

[@deb2660]

Absolutely!!! ❤

[@destiny-theseries]

Damn Kotzen's playing is always so damn clean. He's by far the most underrated guitarist in the business.

[@richardewing8506]

Yes !!!! The most underrated!!

The Best Band of rock of the last 10 years. Original rock, great songs, perfect harmony in musicality and virtuosity

[@user-to2wg5sh5j]

I love the people who think Billy is laying back on this, turn up your headphones folks he is slaying this deceptive groove

[@glennaugustyn5209]

Man I`ve been listening and digging the new CD 3 so much Thank God there are still bands playing this kind of Kick ass Rock and Roll Music. All band members SHINE on this CD. So Rocking with great melodies and Hooks. I`ve been a fan since the begining and They just seem to get better and better. Rock On Dogs Rock On

[@jonnydotnet]

Lucky enough to catch "The Dogs" in London recently. Hugely memorable gig which had me grinning from ear to ear. Surely one of the most innovative and musically adept bands of the Century. 😎

[@soundssimple1]

I only discovered this line up about a year ago and this is another really fine track from 3 great artists, I must say though that Richies solos are filling a void left by Jeff Beck for me. Keep them coming guys you have found your sound. Top notch.

[@andymelendez9757]

The Jeff reference is on it. Totally agree!

[@josiahgust]

Have you done much digging on Richie's solo career yet? He's put out hundreds of songs and most are pretty good with a wide variety of styles.

[@soundssimple1]

@@josiahgust I'll start digging thru YT, thanks. He just hasn't been on my radar until WD's.

[@soundssimple1]

@@ahnlikhanor7664 Incredible technique, makes it look oh so easy. 🤘

[@willjam465]

Really digging this! Finally, a bass tone from Billy that I really like, too!

[@DrTomoculus]

I didn't want to be the one to say it. It was finally nice to hear Billy Sheehan's Bass, sound like a Bass. He's talented as all hell, but not once have I ever liked the sound of his Bass. Scooped up mids, bottled up, no bottom end whatsoever. To actually hear lower tones come from him, made me listen to the whole song. Unbeknownst to me, it possesses an incredible guitar solo. So thanks Billy, because ever since Talas, I've kinda tuned you out, cuz you don't sound like a Bass. Now you do. :)

[@DavidAVest]

Strong as the song is all around, I was seriously in love with the bass tone I was hearing in my headphones.

[@Neil-Aspinall]

Is it only I that can here Strange Kind of Woman in the verses on the bass?

[@MrXHammer]

This song is so damn good! This should be all over the radio. Its a crime that it isn't. Keep up the great work Dogs!!!

[@Neil-Aspinall]

Strange Kind of Woman, verse bass line

[@guillermodelnoche]

The amount of “IDGASF” exuding off of RK is astonishing. The very opening lick into the solo slaps you into full attention. In the middle of the solo Mike does three accents on the snare that Richie catches that is pure magic. Great song and astounding solo!

[@EarthAltar]

So effing awesome. What a fantastic band. See them live if you have the chance. You will not be disappointed.

[@michelealfo9058]

Must see these guys when they play Glasgow in October, what can you say about Portnoy and Sheehan other than they are absolutely immense. It is however Kotzen that grabs my attention, been listening to him for years, they guy is a truly incredible guitarist with a great vocal style. Three guys at the top of their career, briliant.

[@williamdistasio9358]

Ritchie Kotzen.... Holy shit... I've been a fan since I saw him in the back of Guitar For The Practicing Musician back in the late 80s early 90s. He was so sick then... his style has morphed since then, and his voice...my man reminds me of Chris Cornell (may he R.I.P.).

[@Gorbyrev]

Now we're talking. Great to hear the guys stretching out over longer song forms. Fantastic mix of Ritchie's fretboard explorations over that driving rhythm section. Still fulfilling fresh potential. Joyous.

[@Faydit212]

For me at the moment the by far best Rock band around. 50 or more decades of Rock music packed into a lot of excellent, but also different songs, played from awesome, talented and skilled musicians, who not only do, what they can, but can, what they do! I especially love all this decently used 1970's Jazz Rock influences and harmonies, which you meanwhile hardly hear anywhere else, which make these songs even better, without altering the (Heavy) Rock character too much. Quite apart from the skills, concerning the instruments, Mr. Kotzen meanwhile also became for me one of the best rock singers since Chris Cornell! A really great, unique lead singer and an awesome guitarist at once is a rare combination, even less at this very high level. Just like great wine, these guy get better with age! I hope, this collaboration still will last for some time, this really is an excellent team. The best Power Trio ever in my opinion.
