I was hot and cold with his songs but man could he play a guitar. He was also a true virtuoso, not many musos can claim that...R.I.P Prince

He was close to as good as it gets. Have a look at his shredding here from 3.30: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFNW5F8K9Y

I'm a bit the same. No doubt he was an great artist, but I found his music to be a bit all over the place. In saying that, he certainly pumped out a large number of albums.

Personally, I didn't like a lot of his music, but I can appreciate the music genius that he was. The same friend above said that Prince could play any musical instrument very well and it was rare that they needed to go back to rerecord any songs because he got them right the first time. He will be sadly missed, but his legacy will live on. RIP.

Wish the grim reaper accepted trade-ins. Should trade Bieber and that stupid talentless Zany Malik or whatever the flag he is called , in place of Glenn Frey and Prince

Oh yes, flu, that's the one, because healthy adult males in the prime of their lives die of the flu all the time, especially multi millionaires with private jets and millions in the bank.
May be he could not get to the Chemist on time to get his cold and flu tablets, no wonder he died

Exactly, nobody here know about his personal life and why he died... it doesn't really matter at all.

Heard my first Prince joke an hour ago - "In other tragic music news today Kanye West was found alive in his apartment".

Never liked his music, then I had to learn 30 odd prince songs on guitar in a week for a Prince cover band I had to fill in for 15 years ago for a few shows and I've been a fan ever since.
A huge loss to music. The words "Musical Genius" get thrown around often but IMO Prince is one of the few that deserve the title. Don't forget there is a multitude of hits he penned that he did not actually perform or record himself. |
