Its good to have the sexy Prince back. I wonder (u) if there's going to be a full album.

What floors me isn't just how awesome Prince is live, but how he can simultaneously suck fermented farts in the studio.

the verse is pretty nice, but other than that doesn't even have a nice groove to ride on.

at his shows there's always someone to catch the guitar after he tosses it in the air and walks away. in my imagination he just assumes that someone will take care of it, or better yet has never even thought about what happens to the guitar after it leaves his hands.
― queeple qua queeple (Jordan), Monday, 4 March 2013 19:04 (eleven years ago) link
if all that snapped off was the piece of the headstock that's hardly "smashed"

It looks like the guitar was supposed to travel further than it did, I think the chord got caught up on his pedal board.

"Bambi" is awesome, fuiud. i love how the first 2 albums, while obviously not as amazing as the best '80s LPs, still TOTALLY demonstrate his range from the start, the mix of slow jam ballads and screaming guitar rockers and funk workouts, it's so cool how that plurality was built in from the start (compared to a lot of artists who start with a pretty specific sound and then branch out).
"Bambi" is awesome, fuiud.

I wouldn't mess with that Roots guitarist guy, he is the double of Miles Davis and does a mean Eazy E impersonation.

My guitar teacher, who absolutely loves Prince and thinks he's a genius, revealed to me the other day that he actually doesn't really think much of him as a lead guitar player, saying he coasts a lot on effects but pretty standard issue technique. Which often is still amazing and definitely effective (like in Purple Rain or I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man). But his fave Prince guitar stuff is actually his rhythm playing, particularly the stuff at the end of "Lady Cab Driver."
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 4 March 2013 19:33 (eleven years ago) link
when people act all blithe about the flashy, slightly tacky way in which Prince's guitar playing is awesome, i wonder if they've noticed that that's how he's awesome at everything else too
― Shuwopley (some dude), Monday, 4 March 2013 19:34 (eleven years ago) link
ppl are jerks imo
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 4 March 2013 19:35 (eleven years ago) link
I think his real genius is in writing, arranging and singing, not playing. But I personally love his playing.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 4 March 2013 19:35 (eleven years ago) link
that's the thing though, prince's lead guitar playing is like the cherry on top of amazing songwriting, singing, band-leading, everything else. when it becomes the whole point, it's not as exciting.
