401.0. "Kotzen, Ritchie" by CAVLRY::BUCK (Love's not safe) Tue Jan 29 1991 15:00

    
    Gee, I thought there was already a note on guitarist wonderkind
    Ritchie Kotzen, but I guess not.
    
    So here it is...the OFFICIAL Ritchie Kotzen note!!!
    
    Ritchie is one mutherf.... of a guitarist!!!  He released a smash of
    an instrumental album when he was 18 years old called Ritchie Kotzen.
    The lp features Stu Hamm on bass and Steve Smith (ex-Journey) on Traps.
    A must for any metalhead...dazzling guitar!
    
    He just released his 2nd lp a few months ago, which features Kotzen
    taking on vocal responsibilities as well.  
    
    Just got the word Ritchie is currently in the studio producing not one,
    but TWO lps!!!  One will be all instrumental, the 2nd a vocal/band
    thing.  Hey Vinnie Moore, are you listening?!?  ;^)
    
    Richtie currently is endorsed by Laney Amps and Ibanez Guitars, and
    has monthly blurbs in two top guitar rags...all at 20 years old!!
    If anyone should have an attitude problem, Richie has the right...
    but he's also the nicest person you ever wanna meet!

401.2He has a tinge of Steve Vai though.....COMET::FRISBYANo Pun IntendedThu Jan 30 1992 12:275
    I like his song...Dream of a new day.
        He has quite an interesting style and his voice fits great with it.

    	He had an instrumental on "Guitars that Rule the World", but I
    	forgot what it's called.  It cranks, though.

    Ritchie is an amazing player and he seems to have a good attitude but he
    will lose all street cred with those 'Nothing but a good time' double
    stop riffs.
    
    The next instructional video : "And I used Flex conditioner and
    so_and_so toner on my face, oh yeah, this is a guitar, and I use
    so_and_so facial wash and...."
