FUCKING AWESOME!!! That little guy brings the funk and he can WAIL on guitar! His solo at the R&R HOF years back is testament to that.

I have never heard anything bad about Prince. Have heard material he recorded that was not my cup of tea, but I tend to think of him as being on the level of Frank Zappa. Slightly left of center, but as a musician and composer, fucking amazing. So I have to say that even the music that was not my cup of tea, was still produced extremely well, and very stylish.
One of my favorite tunes of his is from the late 80s - early 90s....You Sexy Motherfucker.....fucking cracks me up whenever I hear it.
Mr. V, I knew just from the title of this thread that your report was basically going to be "He kicked ass!". I have never seen him live. But if I had the cash and the time, and he were coming to town, I would have to go check him out.

Not necessarily a huge fan of him stylistically, but Prince is the real deal.
The dude can write great tunes, record them well, and he fucking wails live.
Contrast him with any number of music acts today who a) can't write their own stuff, b) couldn't run a mixing board or engineer a record to save their lives and c) can't perform live without a bunch of prerecorded backing tapes/vocals.

The guy just brings the funk! Plus you've got Maceo Parker on sax. Sings, dances, -everyone on their feet for 2 hours and 20 minutes. More hits than you can shake your ass to. Anyone who has a chance to go needs to. As usual, his solo on Purple Rain was epic!

Prince is indeed a bad ass musician. I saw in in 2004 and the show rocked. I saw he has a new single on itunes. It's funky. Reports are he found an old tune from his vaults from the early 80s and revamped it. Killer.

I may have posted this before but I think it is the best insight into Prince and how he lives.
The bit about the camel always makes me laugh...

Interesting Thanks!

Haven't bought a Prince album since "The Black Album" (which fell far short of the hype attached to it, for the several years it was bootlegged before WB finally cashed in on it.) but I'd still probably see him live.....just haven't got around to it yet.

Saw Prince and Sheila E in Greensboro in 84..awesome show
Hey Jackass! You need to [Register] or log in to view signatures on ROTHARMY.COM!
yeah...the big attraction of the Black Album was not being able to get it. then, after listening to it, it was like "that was it?"
i think i still have my bootleg LP somewhere.
Richfield Coliseum, December 5, 1984 for me. damn...27 years almost to the day.

I highly recommend the Prince Roger Nelson experience.

Saw Prince back in 87 or 88. Lovesexy tour. Great show. i'd love to see him again sometime

I missed out on Prince this year... He's canceled every single time he was supposed to do a show in Finland, except this year.
At least there are some decent live clips on YouTube...

I think his guitar playing has really improved since the 80s.

Around the 3:30 mark Prince lays out one of the great solos of all time.

Imagine trusting a roadie to catch you like that, he must have them terrified...
I remember watching that on VH1 when it originally aired. I had forgotten how good he was. I still think the best cover I've ever heard was Jeff Healey's. He fracking tore it up! Of course youtube removed the official video a while back for copyright infringement but there may still be a fan made vid of it up. Haven't checked lately. I have it on my ipod.

I find it difficult to rate it as one if the best guitar solos ever because of it's lack of any complex technique but it is really well played and phrased, something I've really started to try and concentrate on improving in my own stuff.
Prince is THE Cats Ass ! Brilliant , quite possibly a mad genius . I consider him a guilty pleasure .
" Pussy Control " was my ring tone for a little while . I like most of his music , however , I'm partial
to the NPG era .

Prince has really nailed down all of his music as far as Youtube or any ability to view past performances (at least latst time i tried) a couple years back I tried to embed some here and none would allow or were removed videos due to copywrite stuff..The reason I was trying to lay down a vid here was I have allways felt that he was a giant of a guitarist not only for his writing arranging and unique presentations that are wholy original but just his guitar skills are laced with a complete connection from way down inside, this cat has it, whatever ,"it" is.
Mutha, has Soul.

Prince's guitar playing is pure sex.
