Phenomenally underrated guitarist.


There is a concert on YouTube with him Tom Petty I believe and Jeff Lynn from ELOand at the end Prince does a guitar solo that’ll peel paint

You look at the music he sold and the music he can do are just huge differences

Well said...He was a musical genius, who had music pouring out of him. His record companies had to stop him putting out loads of discs, he was so prolific.

There will be tons of his music to come in the future, as he only released a fraction, of what he wrote and it’s all good apparently.

RIP a genuine one off.

That's NO lie, right there. I remember many years ago, Prince was one of the guest musicians on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. Was watching various acts that had the show humming along pretty good, then Prince came on and I remember groaning, expecting some tinkly pop music that would shut down the momentum the show had going so far. But there were crashing riffs, intricate guitar solos, he was blowing the roof off the place with fast-paced ROCK. He put the rock into the Rockin' Eve that night. I remember sitting there going "What the....?". I never bought any of his music - all I had ever heard of him was what they played on the radio, which was the tinkly pop music, so yeah that was some surprise when he performed those songs that night.

That performance is stunning. It showed just what an amazing guitarist he was. With that said I can’t stand his music, I’d rather hear 10 women yelling at me in stereo. I never understood why his guitar talent didn’t show through in his music. Maybe I missed something. Oh well, rest in peace.
