Why the obsession among the Hard Rock/Metal genres with themes of pain, death, fear, insanity, etc? I simply do not relate.
I don’t know if Richie Kotzen qualifies as Hard Rock but I like this a lot:

@stuartk - out of curiosity, what themes do you think they should explore instead for aggressive music like this? |
Not necessarily true, here's an example of Diamond Dave being just a funny guy....
Van Halen - Everybody Wants Some https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EI8JN-fSLo
P.S. If you walk like this (adopt this gait pattern), your confidence levels shall rise with every step you take. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iPYl1Vp6rgU

Sorry for my lack of clarity. I’d never tell any musician what they ought to play! I simply don’t relate to the aggression or focus on psychologically troubled states. I don’t like the way such music makes me feel physically or psychologically but clearly, this is highly subjective. I’m a Jazz fan and can only tolerate so much dissonance. On the other hand, I don’t care for music that is too far to the other side of the spectrum. A certain amount of dissonance/tension can be enlivening. Too much can be assaultive. I like Richie Kotzen because he has incredible chops (he began as a shredder) and can definitely rock hard but is at the same time, very soulful and melodic. |
