ILSnwdog Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Wow. Shocked. He was a true genius and visionary. RIPI didn't really care for his music, but I could certainly appreciate his creativity and his ability to shred up a guitar. RIP 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g under p Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Bowie,Weiland,Frey,Lemmy,Emerson and it's only April http://garretthayden.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/steve-carrel-no.gif Better enjoy Stones,half of Beatles,half of Who,Dylan,Petty,:rush: et al while we're here. This is nucking futs. RIP Add Merle Haggard to the list. When asked what it feels like to be the best guitarist alive, Eric Clapton said, "I don't know. Ask Prince." Superior, genius musician.....I believe it was his first album he played every single instrument on that album. He will surly be missed RIPeace 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSnwdog Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 This is not a good year to be famous. I wonder if Keith Richards is afraid to go outside? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driventotheedge Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 An ugly damned year for deaths in the music world. Prince was indeed a true musical genius. RIP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 You know when Whitney died I understood why. When Michael died I wasn't shocked. Prince, from the sounds of things, was sick with flu and who knows how that all played out. But this was a guy who while historically diminutive never seemed unhealthy or had really odd shit-bird celebrity habits. If anything he struck me as profoundly health-conscience, although I'm purely speculating there. So color me saddened and shocked. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 This is tragic. Young. Energetic. And quite frankly still a top performer. Poor guy. I feel for his family and friends. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amps211 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 wow ... he seemed like a picture of health ... he was one of the best ever ... he had more talent in his pinky than most of today's pop artists have in their whole body's 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) I never really listened to him but I always loved his cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. He had an amazing take on that song. Edited April 21, 2016 by Union 5-3992 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 The last time I saw him perform anywhere was as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, which was within the past year. The persona he was projecting was definitely an early '70s-type thing, as he was sporting about a five or six-inch Afro, and wearing mirrored sunglasses, if I remember correctly. The song was something new, and it went on and on- it was eight or nine minutes, at least. He was so full of energy. And the performance itself was fantastic. He was one of the most prolific musicians of our time. Consider that for his entire body of work that has been released, there may be something on the order of three or four times that much that he has never released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too long ago I found out Prince was the writer to the song Nothing Compares To You which was sung by Sinead O Connor. That was one huge song back in the day, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
