Prince is ace

[Anny Road]

Been listening to him for years but only recently started to fully appreciate the mans true contribution to music. I think it was Paul who mentioned him in the underrated albums thread and I think he is deserving of his own thread.

 

Soul, funk, rock etc it's all there delivered diversely and passionately. He may be a bit of a wee tit but I think he is one of the greats and massively underrated.

Underrated? Everyone loves him.

Next time he's here would recommend doing your utmost to see him live. One of the very best.

Does he still tour? Thought he packed it in.

Turned down the chance to see him in Paris years ago. Sign of the times tour. At the time thought he was a bit gay and not good for my street cred. Fool I was.

[Dr Nowt]

Hadn't heard that he'd packed it in. Be surprised as that wouldn't fit his MO, while he's obviously rich as hell he strikes me as one of those people who just plays music for the sheer love of it.

missed out seeing him twice. went to visit my sister in Dortmund, who incidentally used to hate him till i got her to listen to his albums, and when i got to her flat she said she was going to see him that night! then missed out when i got to Fort Lauderdale and all my mates had gone to see him, again that very night. Guy is a genius though

Don't know if you have heard this version of Purple Rain he done in 85 its fifteen minutes long. Pretty sure there was a eighteen minute version of it that use to be knocking around as well.

He plays quite often in the states mainly though. Bona fide genius.

[Anny Road]

Prince is more than ace. The words to describe how immense Price is, aren't due to be invented for another few years.

 

The man is ludicrously talented. Another level shit.

I think he was playing the Las Vegas circuit a lot not long ago. He would still do the one off shows in various places around the world as well. He has been known to turn up at Montreux once in a while and even played a set at a blues festival there , though not to sure exactly when that was.

He played an outrageous guitar solo of 'whilst my guitar gently weeps' on a tribute show for George Harrison! He played along side Tom Petty! It's on YouTube but I'm a bit of a spaz and don't know how to put the link up!

Yeah its been posted on here a few times in other threads mate.

In a way I am kind of sad that he is so multi talented on so many instruments as I would of loved him to of stuck with a guitar inspired career . I think its mainly the older ones among us who recognise what a talented guitarist he is and I wonder how far he could of gone if he stuck with that instrument only.

Agreed,I have a mate Phil,ace guitarist formerly with the famous A team,and. Before that supercharge(and now a respectable music teacher!)and he educated me as to how good a guitarist prince was,also written many songs for other artists

[MAC5]

Is it true that he is self taught on the guitar?

[Carvalho Diablo]

Can anybody remember the name of his song that had a black and white video, all the band dressed up 40's style, the song had an oboe loop (I think).

 

For the longest time I thought it was Diamonds and Pearls but I was wrong, now I can't remember wtf it was...

My sisters and then someone I knew went and saw him and said he was ace. Will make the effort next time.

Alphabet street, love it. no idea why

Rings a faint bell. Didn't he do a black and white film once. maybe its the film track to that?

[Gym Beglin]

You're all dicks for bringing him up in here, he should be left for cool people to enjoy in peace.

Nah, don't think it was mate. Defo just a pop video.

 

Vexing me.

[TheHowieLama]

 

Vexing me.

 

4 the Tears in Your Eyes.

[TheHowieLama]

I take that back, 4 the Tears was black and white but I just read comment about the loop - it is a bari sax, you are thinking of Girls and Boys.

 

It is from Under the Cherry Moon.
