R.I.P. Prince

[KirtFalcon]

You haven't seen his performances to make a judgement. Even Jimi Hendrix would be proud of his guitar work in this song :

. I've seen other performances that blow this away. His performance on SNL was legendary, but just as Prince is protective, SNL is too. At least you can find old SNL episodes on Hulu, but they take them down quick on YouTube.

 

Not bad, but nowhere near the best guitar player I have heard ..... not even close ...

Just curious as to who would be on your top 5 list Kirt?

maybe ... I can sure put together a pretty good list of better ones

I made an updated list last night. There is one glaring omission and maybe two, but one's a sellout, and the other sounds like a mix of Hendrix and Clapton to me.

 

1. Chuck Berry - Without him I'm not sure if the electric guitar would have been as big as it was in Rock and Roll. Jimi Hendrix actually picked up a broom, and asked for a guitar because of him.

2. Jimi Hendrix

3. Eddie Van Halen

4. Steve Vai

5. Eric Johnson

6. Bryan May

7. Duane Allman

8. Randy Rhodes

9. Steve Clark

10. Rory Gallagher

11. B.B. King

12. Duane Eddy

13. Eric Clapton

14. Rick Nielsen

15. Prince

16. Tony Iommi

17. Bo Diddley

18. Carlos Santana

19. Neal Schon

20. Tom Scholz

I heard today that they found Percocet in the autopsy & that Arcenio Hall is suing Sinade O'Connor for $5mil for posting that investigators should interview him as the source of the drugs.
