Richie Kotzen - Don't Wanna Lie Lyrics

Damn this guy has it all...killer voice, sick song writing, amazing guitar player. Oh and he hit every branch on the genetic good looking tree too...

He is beautiful

One of my favorite Richie's song

Love this song!

Damn sexy !!

What's the name of the blonde girl, anybody know ???

it's actress/model Diora Beard

Mr.Keyz Tanasale Thanks for the answer (y)

So beautiful!

With all his talent, guitar/songwriting/composing, divine voice and those looks (then and now), he can make any woman have a Lady Chatterley type crisis just by snapping his fingers!

Couldn't have said it better myself. My God, this is twenty years later and HE STILL CAN make an old woman feel 20.

He likes Prince, ha?

no,he's better.

But he does like Prince and would probably disagree with you on the "better" thing. I'd say Kotzen is a better instrumentalist but Prince was more of a visionary and spread a little thinner on more instruments. Prince had a command over a wider variety of styles, not that Richie doesn't have an insane amount of diversity. There is a reason why Kotzen is a Prince fan, the dude was extremely capable in jazz, classic soul, neo soul, blues, rock, synth pop, modern pop, rap/hip hop, classic rock, hard rock, and psychedelic rock on any instrument on top of being considered the greatest funk guitarist ever next to Eddie Hazel by a lot of great funk guitarists. On top of that if you listen to his album News he could write sophisticated instrumental music with the best of them. I'd say it's useless to compare at these levels of talent.

I don't even know where to begin! Richie Kotzen is the shit! And will always be the shit!! He is the total package. Crazy amazing guitar skills, powerful voice. He can literally sing the alphabet and have it be a number 1 hit lbvs!! And it also doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes. They keep sleepin' on you Mr. Kotzen and you keep showing why that's not a wise thing to do!!

first black lady I seen who knows who he is, you got major cool points with me, He's an underdog, very versatile guitarist,one of my idols

+Blade Hudson Thank you!! I'm not black though😊 I'm mixed. It's ok😊 but yes, he is an underdog and underestimated quite often. I remember seeing a VHS tape of him, it was rock chops...I've always wanted to learn to play guitar because of him😊😊😊 Idk. I have mad respect for this man and his talent.

+Carla Angelena cool, hope I run into him when in LA jamming, He tends to go out n jam alot when he's not on tour

+Carla Angelena you're so right! I think the reason he's not well known is he does what he wants. My gosh I love to watch him play! No pick! He puts Steve Vai and Joe Satriani to shame!

Very true

ritchie kotzen..........monter...master..perfect

Only Ritchie could convince his girlfriend she was a lesbian, or at the very least; a bi-sexual just so he could infiltrate both their crevice(s) without fear of accusals of betrayal. In other words, he's a fucking legend!!! 

I would in a heartbeat. I'd name him Pinnochio and tell him to lie all he wants!

Richie slays all genres... The video kinda makes him look like he was kicked out of a boy band though...

In fact he was.
Kicked out Poison 😂
But I do know what you mean 😎

europetempest Lol, he was kicked out for stealing Rikki's fiancé. Rikki is the ugliest man I've seen. I don't see how he could be mad at Ritchie or the girl for her trying to better herself. Going from Rikki to Ritchie was a huge step up for her!

una canción preciosa, expresiva, y única es 100% joven muy bien Richie

when richie evokes the prince thing, is a shure WIN.

Should make a hole album like that 

I listen to RK every single day and I just can´t get enough...my favorite musician of all time, period.

is there anyone else??

It's an all day Richie music fest every day all day volume wide open, home Windows vibrate. I won't change. I might throw in a few other greats. Every once in a while I turn on my 600 disc cd changer and hit shuffle, or turn on my 3 turn tables loaded with my most favorite vinyl, or stream. So many great ways to enjoy music. I have 2 hd smart tvs that I very RARELY turn on. My house was robbed once. My tvs were stolen, but my music equipment was never touched. I filed my homeowners, but really, I didn't care. In the past 10 years, I may have watched tv 5 times. Nothing but bad media. Don't care for television. I stopped watching in 2005 when it was all day coverages of the war in Iraq. My son was there 33 months. I was one nervous mom. After his first 3 months, he was able to call. I cried and told him I was watching. He said DO NOT WATCH NEWS. The media are mostly liars. He was right. He kept me informed and never hid the bad things. Always told me the good our troops did.

JoshMetal316 I'd drink his bath water

Superman! This is for you! Love your musical gift Mr. Kotzen....You freaking ROCK!

Good Job on this posting! He is a real genius... He can play any kind of music there is!

Thank you ... Yes, Richie Kotzen is The Master ... pure all around amazing musician,

Absolutely true!

mhollandtag No words were better spoken!

Richie has it all. What a talent. What a great career. He should be proud

i checked it, you are right, he played all the instruments himself.

really? i'm not sure about that.

When you're acting next to Diora Baird, you can do no wrong!

stanley clarke plays bass on this one

he is the best!

he is a fucking boss, period.

Plus, I have to say that many women I know don't think he's handsome or cool or sexy at all. They find him too much clean and smart, not enough "male", if you know what I mean. Good for us, normal humans! XD

And he's a sexiest guitar player/ song writer/colosal singer. can you have a real mixture of it?

he has yet to make a song that I don't like. He is amazing

he's cocky, that's fine, I'll be much cockier if I was half that good a musiscian and got laid half that much.

He's probably my favorite guitarist right now... but this sure is a gay music video.

I love what this guy does, I admire him and his talent, and I think he's super hot...But the only thing NOT gay about this video is the rack on one of the chicks.

Thank you :)

Richie's not cocky, his humor ,shyness, and expectations of perfection during his live shows are often times mistaken as cocky, but he's not.

its not a fact..its bullshit

the greatest yes! from the end of the list!

*yourself

definitely not from yoursef

ok....you are very gay!

He is the perfect looking Guitar Hero and Singer.

I prefer his long hair.

He kind of reminds me of a white version of the artist formerly known as Prince.

@SuperGuitarNerd beavis: "they're totally going to have a threeway...huh huh"...

August tatoo!

@mhollandtag Richie thinks he's the sexiest too. Seems a bit cocky in all respects, puts me off a bit. His playing is brilliant though, no denying that.

@Stag6547 don't forget Zakk wylde:-D or Greg Howe

holy shit this song is the bomb, it's like oh yea baby makeee looooveeeeeee to meeehhh. I guess it's time to learn it. lol jk I'm no god.

try, try and tell me what your feelin now
can you try understand Im leavin now
you dont have to wonder what it is were fighting for
cause we dont have to live no more in all this denial
I dont wanna pretend anymore I dont wanna have to lie
maybe we can be friends if you want only if you got the time
I dont wanna pretend anymore I dont wanna have to lie
maybe we can be friends if you want but I dont wanna have to lie

So... WTF exactly is going on in this vid anyway? I'm guessing the blonde is Deanna, Richie's ex wife? Then I guess he starts dating the brunette who I'm assuming is her BFF? Then the two girls get on the dance floor and... Seriously? WTF is going on? LMAO !!!

@Stag6547 you're not alone. I hear that from many straight guys:)

I'm not gay but I think he's the sexiest guitarist

did he just kiss that chick while chewing gum? what a rockstar!

I still don't understand why this guy hasn't still become the biggest rock star in the world. He's got everything. Maybe too much (?).

@POLDUSTLEAD thank you :)
Richie's the greatest all-around musician/performer!!!

@POLDUSTLEAD thanks:)

You have a lot kotzen videos, thank you very much! I saw him in the canary islands (telde, gran canaria) it was more than awesome

no problem, I was asking U if U could upload the track pulse II for me...but I 've searched it and finally found IT posted on a site somewhere..but thanx for your kindness.....I appreciate....plus....thanx 4 sharing these amazing bootleg vids....

Nova... I am SO SORRY... I accidentintally removed your comment instead of hitting reply .... please repost;)

It was on a limited number of Japanese releases... It's not a ghost track (like Pulse II was with the original US version of Inner Galactic), if it's there, it will be listed on the back.

I have the Japanese version of this CD but no ghost video on mine...weird??...

The video is on the Japanese release of the Slow cd.

yeah, at last ...where does that come from....this quality is obviously much better than any previous other circulating on the web....thanx man....
