I saw Richie Kotzen last night at the Fiddlers in Bristol and was totally blown away. Not only can the guy play the guitar brilliantly but he has pitch-perfect singing and he looks cool too. It' just not fair.
Before going to the show I was a bit sceptical, the only stuff I'd heard was a very old album of guitar-shred, I was pleasantly surprised to hear him singing and playing some really tasteful blues.
Met the guy briefly after the show and found him to be quite shy. He was happy for my brother to put some video-clips on Youtube though.
Got to say a big Hi to Rob Chappers (the Monkey Lord/Marshall Amplifiers guitarist). Not that he's likely to be looking in, he'd never heard of Tangerine Dream.
He came with us to the show and made it a real fun evening.
PS Jeff Scott Soto was also there.....
....who I hear you say.
