Prince - The Artist - Dead

[JMon]

If any one can... I'd like a piece showcasing (video) of pure guitar play from both Hendrix and Prince.

[GunShard]

Michael Jackson's death impacted me but Prince's death I felt nothing. He was an artist I did not really care about.

[jjgold]

He was a major pill abuser his whole life

I read he could not go on stage without them

A lot coming out now

[PittsburghPlayer]

he could play guitar

Remember him quite well too, loved Purple Rain, he was ahead of his time, dont think he ever learned to read music, could play many many instruments.

pill popper or not, forgot about all these songs... he had a lot of hits and he wrote a lot of #1 songs for other artists.

Springsteen washed up 20 years ago

Springsteen washed up 20 years ago

30 plus years... Born in the USA was gay. Looked like he was trying to pinch a fukking loaf while singing.
oh, that`s right,... he was!
you had me thinking, wondering who is the bigger sell-out between the two...
then I remembered - to my knowledge Bruce Springsteen did not squeak when he sang, or walk in public with his ass hanging for other men to see (Prince), or die.
Advantage Springer...

[jjgold]

Springsteen sounds the same every single song he was so overrated but made a killing

[texhooper]

Brooks born in the USA doesn't sound like your style, that's a protest song. Or maybe I have you all wrong

[texhooper]

13, "Thieves in the Temple," 1990, No. 6

There are a lot of sick songs in his repertoire. This one though is a fukking banger.

And of course MY NAME IS PRINCE...AND I'M FUNKY!!! That shit is dope as hell too

[texhooper]

Michael Jackson's death impacted me but Prince's death I felt nothing. He was an artist I did not really care about.

You gotta dive in to his catalogue man. Listen to Putple Rain front to back. Watch the movie. Something.

You think you know but maybe you don't. I think you will see. I once was in your shoes.

[Dr Nostron]

Great tribute by Springsteen - guitarist nails the solo

One of his best songs isn't even on that list. "Erotic City" was a B-side on a single, never on an album. Great bar song back in the day!

[Itsamazing777]

So what killed him? Any reports come in yet to the cause of his death? Odds are cocaine or pills did him in..

His former dealer said that he had been buying Dliaudid and fentanyl patches from him for 25 years.

He had bad stage fright, Dliaudid is like a synthetic heroin. Very strong. Had it in the hospital. Very addicting. He combined this with Percocet, resulting in his death. Can't mix drugs.

[jjgold]

only in America

Glorifying drug addict

[Itsamazing777]

nobody knew he took the pills.privately

[jjgold]

Now he goes down a junkie like Mike Jackson..legend but asterisk "Junkie"

Some way to leave

[KVB]

Must be tough to be a famous virtuoso.

[KVB]

[Ghenghis Kahn]

only in America

Glorifying drug addict

well doesn't sbr glorify a cokehead named michael jack corbin?

[KVB]

A league of his own.

[Kermit]

Jesus Christ, Prince had AIDS and refuse treatment?

Prince 'was diagnosed with AIDS six months before he died and refused treatment because he believed God would heal him'

[jjgold]

I wonder if that was true

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Tupac's Mom died today.

RIP

Age 69

[jjgold]

Sad

Tupac another legend
