Re: Prince on SNL

I personally don`t care for his regular music, but I have seen him jam out and he is a very good guitarist, I can`t deny that. Jack.

Re: Prince on SNL

I saw that last night, (the first song anyway) and thought it was pretty good. He is an excellent player.

And after it was over, he took everyone back in the house and made them pancakes. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Prince on SNL

Yeah, my wife is a big Prince fan. After he played last night she was like, " See, you like Prince too, c'mon I know you liked that." He was good. But of course, I was searching the backround for someone else playing the whole time. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Yeah, I caught a lot of shit for going to a Prince concert back in the day. That guy smokes on the guitar.

Re: Prince on SNL

To be be a great musician is one thing. To be a great writer (person that appeals to the masses with his material) is another. And to be a marketing whiz, is still yet another. And Prince is all of that.

Gotta hand it to him. Although I would never actually buy any or listen to much more than a bit his material, I can appreciate that he is pretty amazing.

'm suprised no one has mentioned "Let's Get Crazy" yet...He tears it up at the end of that one....First time I saw it I crapped myself....No,I don't appreciate the vast majority of his material,but I do admire his talent...From a distance,anyway....

Re: Prince on SNL

Prince's performance (the first song) last night was, in my humble opinion, one of the best musical performances on SNL so far! He fukkin' ROCKS... always has.

I just hope he's playing more stuff like that on the new album. I plan on buying that and the new David Gilmour that's coming out March 7th.

+ a million!

i started playin lead when purple rain came out, and i always loved that song and many others of his. a quote i remember enjoying was something that one of his band members when he was doing the new power generation once said something to the extent of "you always have to be on your toes because if you don't play your part of the song well enough, prince will play it for you."

he's kinda hot and cold with me, but i think he's a fuckin genius on many levels. and man, that was a cool lookin strat. i was hoping that he'd bust in on the "prince show" skit. i love that skit.

Purple Rain and the Ghostbusters soundtrack are the only albums I had when I was 8 years old and still like today.

Re: Prince on SNL

Yeah Prince is so freaking talented. I love his guitar playing in "The Morning Papers". The only thing Prince failed at was his little rap stint although the line

"What you wanna eat girl"
"Ribs!!!!"
"I don't serve ribs"

cracks me up everytime. YEah Prince is talented and great to see live also.

thanks for the link!
I saw it on snl and I'm happy I can see it again.
prince reminds me so much of hendrix in that song. playing, singing even the song's chord progression sounds like a hendrix song.

Re: Prince on SNL

Purple Rain ... I woke up to a pitched tent many times thinking about Apollonia*. Vanity was smoking too. His guitar skills are only surpassed in his Great taste in women.

Re: Prince on SNL

He's very Hendrix influenced, Santana too. We used to do a few Prince tunes, Let's Go Crazy, P-Rain. Computer Blue had this nice little run in it that if the drummer was having an 'uptempo' night..it would get a little tricky.
