Man, you just think everybody but you is such a loser.

Also, half retarded isn't very PC bro.

Well, I'm hoping people have finally realized what a jackass he is. The duo/RBG/Scotty trio is hilariously played out at this point.

[hnibos]

show duo some respect

[duovamp]

Yeah....

[duovamp]

So if it's hilariously played out... It's hilarious?

[fuzzyroes]

You guys actually listen to Prince?

[buzzard]

Here we go.

[redbreegull]

he was a better guitarist than slash

[Catherine Wheel]

That was kind of funny and morally bankrupt all at the same time

start this about half-way through and check out the two solos:

Apparently at Prince's final public appearance (paisley park the weekend before he died) he played chopsticks on the piano, only coming out after watching his guests on CCTV for hours and speaking into the headphones of his bouncers.

chopsticks on the piano.

[toase]

good thing his music easily available now.. at least we can have that

[slunken]

i thought the same thing after he died. has anyone noticed an upswing of available youtube videos? anyone make a flow chart?

[slunken]

real fan letter:

"dear prince, thank you for dying so i can now listen to my old cassette tape of purple rain on youtube"

[slunken]

Been following this thread and never heard anyone mention a specific favorite album outside of purple rain.

(casual fans?)

gonna throw my hat into the ring for "dirty mind"

I know the man can play a mean axe, but I have next to no interest in his recorded music. I mean, it's good for what it is if that's what you're into. but as was mentioned, once someone dies everyone waxes-nostalgic and then really get's into the music again when they couldn't have cared less the previous day.

Just sorta annoying in a way

Ya, I get it. It's only natural though interest would rise in the aftermath of any artists' passing. His musical arc is beyond comparison and that doesn't ******* the rumoured 2000 songs and 50 or so glossy high production videos he has in 'the vault'.

I stopped paying attention to him for quite some time, but when I did check out what he was doing I gained respect because he immersed himself into Rock when it became rather passe'. He remained unique and when he hooked up with those 3rd Eye girls, he fronted the guitar more than ever into this elaborate form of heavy-edged funk rock.

That big fro was an homage to Jimi and instead of meandering into some timely form of dub-step, he grabbed a Telecaster and played the shit out of it till the end. Respekk...

From an afterparty in Amsterdam. 1988. It's a cover with a rather Gilmour-Corgan-Lifeson'esque solo starting at 2:30. Must of had the good Absinthe that night.

[teh b0lly!!1]

[The Omega Concern]
