Killer!! I'd love to see Prince live. Last time he came to town it seemed like it sold out in 2 seconds...

I do like Bill Bailey's (No not Axl Rose, the comedian Bill Bailey) "Hindie Indie" version.


Have cut back on my equipment do to circumstance. Just my #1 Gibson Les Paul Standard just now. No amps, no pedals.

Give it up for Prince. Not only a great guitar player, but he sure can spot talent.

I've always felt sorry for him. The bulk of people think he's a little wierdo and a second rate MJ.
He's a true talent and a great guitarist. A great songwriter and producer too.

Dont think theres much to feel sorry for, hes a rock monster of the highest order. A little strange maybe but an eccentric genius non the less. [thumbup]

I agree. There really is nothing to feel sorry about. Prince is a class A, barking mad, nut case to the nth degree. But he's also a badass artist. Most of the truly great artist I've met over the years have been total lunatics. Comes with the neighborhood I think.

Yes, I've seen this before and it is killer! I'm not a fan of Prince's standard music, but it his one off stuff like this that that I really like. That solo was pure rock-in-roll with attitude and showmanship and overall it looked like he was having a good time doing it too. He's way more than his pop music.

Prince is a very good musician and has written some good song's, not my fave act but very good none the less.
Lots of video's with me playing music as well as some of my favorite song's here at Youtube

Speaking of comparing Prince and MJ... I heard someone say once that Prince was like "Michael Jackson with a d**k."
