Prince is fucking dead?!?!?

[Shafpocalypse Now]

Damn, at 57?

Fucking hell.

[Kazuya Mishima]

Still going.

Just a few days ago I was googling on that Prince solo where he melted everyone's face off at the Rock Hall of Fame awards. He was definitely one of my favorite guitarists.

Just the solo portion...

As Kaz would say, "Good riddance niglet."

[Mickey O'neil]

Fuck that. RIP Prince...the greatest ever, IMO.

I enjoyed his music up until he did the Batman soundtrack. That, and everything that followed was pretty much shit.

Musical genius...I think so. Also a supreme dumbass in other areas. He believed in Dick Gregory type conspiracy theories like the white man was poisoning ghetto folk with chemtrails and manganese tainted malt liquor. Srsly.

I only really love a dozen or so of the standard '80s hits, almost nothing after the name change was good... but everything he put out was interesting. I can respect that from an artist even if I don't necessarily want to listen to it.

[Mickey O'neil]

Ridiculous. His SB halftime performance is wicked as well.

I never noticed the guitar throw at the end of "My Guitar Gently Weeps" until someone pointed it out yesterday. Scary job for a roadie.

That putz Tom Petty looks annoyed the entire time Prince is styling on everyone there.

I remember watching this as a kid.

In his defense, Petty always looks like that.

Game.

Blouses.

Read somewhere ..that that solo was done on a borrowed guitar and he took some heat for tossing it

[milosz]

I dunno, looks like the off-brand Telecasters he played for years.

One of the better videos of him jamming. Probably will be pulled for copyright shortly.

Reddit had an AMA from a Vegas butler who worked for the Rio, and was assigned to Prince's suite:

I have a lot of great memories but the one that made me laugh was there was one night where I got a call at about 3 am in the morning and he wanted breakfast for 14 people. I was the only butler on duty during that graveyard shift. He asked for 14 omelets and 14 orders of pancakes. I called everyone in the casino and had all the cooks running to make this order while I made the table. I had to serve the whole breakfast at now 4am in the morning by myself. I came up with the two carts full of food trying to plate it as fast as I can when Prince stood up from his chair and walked over to my cart. He grabbed a plate of pancakes and started helping me serve. I couldn't help but to laugh from the Charlie Murphy story on the Dave Chappelle show. This was my favorite moment...ever.

It looks like the picture is reversed and sped up in parts for some reason. Copyright purposes I guess. Still a great performance though.

I stand corrected. He broke a guitar on Fallens show.

[Sassenach]

It looks like since he passed a bunch of stuff is popping up on youtube. I like my Prince more dirty boy, less copyright infringement nutjob jesus freak. Amazing guitarist.
