Richie Kotzen: london underworld review


[Bristol Fiddlers gig]

Kotzen's voice is very emotive and unlike a lot of shredders who attempt to sing (seriously what is up with that ? stick to shredding!), Kotzen's voice is amazing and is much like a softer version of Chris Cornell's. Simply put, its soulful. And he uses that to good effect. Don't get me wrong this man can still shred with the best of them doing a lot of hammer on and pull off runs along the fretboard though I should say he's more of the blues shred persuasion these days than anything... Its an almost faultless performance and we're reminded once again not only of his amazing chops but also that he's an amazingly talented singer and songwriter.

I'm off to see Richie Kotzen again tomorrow at the Swindon gig! I understand from TIS spies that Tom Quayle and George Marios will be at the leeds show... if you see them say hello!
