I am sure you have heard of the band called Poison or Mr. Big, they were/are two American hard rock bands which contributed to the Glam Rock-Metal scene at the end of the 80s and beginning of the 1990s.
Richie Kotzen played the guitar for both bands. He recorded one album with Poison in 1993 and five with Mr.Big.
Kotzen is not only about hard rock, he is actually a great blues and fusion guitar player. He is great, I personally prefer his fusion side at the moment. And he is an excellent singer and songwriter.
He started to play guitar at the age of 7, inspired by KISS. He recorded his first solo album by the age of 19, after being discovered by Shrapnel Records but he was already playing in a band called Arthurs Museum.
If you ask me, Richie Kotzen’s album, Change is probably one of the best ones as well, of course, as the fusion album The Inner Galactic Fusion Experience with Richie Kotzen – Please check it out!
