Richie is great I think. I can't believe that no one's replied to this! See what I mean about him being under appreciated :P His playing is very tasty.

 

The Poison album Native Tongue, which has him on it, is my favourite of theirs. The other one is Crack a Smile which has Blues Saraceno!

 

Richie's tone now with the Cornfords is just amazing. He said it's the only amp that he can plug straight into without the need for any kind of overdrive or booster pedal, although I think that he sometimes uses a Sobbat Drive Breaker.

Masturbation. Like a faster, more classical version of EVH without the swing.

 

No offence, but I think that Poison album (as with all their others) sucked. It was their attempt to go for a more bluesy sound after GNR got huge and grunge killed hair metal. It was still hair metal.

Yup, a downside of Richie is that there tends to be masturbatory riffing at times

 

Some of the stuff he did with Greg Howe is really good

 

Their version of contusion is pretty unique

Yup, he's incredible. I saw a vid of his once w/ a very gritty tone that I disliked. I'm guessing it was just a low-volume-tube-amp/bad-tone thing.

Fast forward to 5:12

 

IT seems like the violinist steps on his toes, but it is hard to tell whether or not he signaled to her.

 

It doesn't sound like he did.

 

He plays pretty melodically on this one
