He's played with some amazing people, but the thing that really says it all is that he subbed once for John Patitucci in the Elektric Band. SICK player. |

However, it's sad to see how far Richie Kotzen has fallen these days, he used to be the young darling of Shrapnel records! Now he's looking older, and his playing is so different from what made him so amazing in the first place! |

I think Richie Kotzen has matured and plays deeper than his early "shred" days.

I too bought this cd years ago based on Stanley Clarke's name but have not played it since! A bit too out there for me! |

Seems like a total 'retro' looking back sort of thing to me, and I too gave the CD 'one listen' and then it went on the shelf. |

Ha ha-take that Poison! ZING!
Seriously, though, ain't nothing cool about sleeping with another man's wife...especially a bandmates!  |

I do agree it's not on par with the early solo stuff and RTF.

Not that there is anything wrong with Fender, but his Ibanez tone was miles better. Much better for his shreddy playing, although I find his playing these days to be a slight unimaginative, and his phrasing lacking. Back in the day though, at the tail end of the 80's, he was amazing. |

I really think, that had his writing had a little individuality in the early days he could have been the next Jason Becker/John Petrucci or whatever. Unfortunatley, when he debuted shred was just about to go out of fashion in the mainstream, and he never seemed to reach exit velocity, as it were. |
