@@CheckingYourRealityForYou Prince a poser? How can you have watched his solo in Guitar Gently Weeps and say such a stupid thing? The guy could play guitar like no one else alive.
That solo was outrageous but also had F***Y** written all over it - especially at the end when he just threw his guitar away and walked off, that all just seemed to say "Follow that!!!" knowing full well no-one EVER could.
The thing with Prince is that you gotta have seen him in concert to see just how amazing he was on guitar. IF you only know Prince thru what they play on the radio you will never get it.
@@CheckingYourRealityForYou “People say Prince is great” “You need to listen to more guitarists”. So if I listen to more guitarists, people will stop saying he’s great. Makes ~perfect~ sense, if you’re high. Put down the crack pipe & try to be coherent. Or maybe even be original & try not to be a typical troll.
No, that’s fair. Prince because of the times had his shtick, so he really pigeon holed himself. That was the 80s on throughout the early 90s so his incredibly mind blowing talent as a guitarist was overshadowed by his showmanship. If you’re a guitarist and follow that expression of talent it was no secret but most laypersons wouldn’t have known. What’s more incredible was he could play the Bass, Keyboards, Drums and a few other instruments as well.
I don't get tired of watching the solo with Prince and it is my favorite. I loved the look on Dhani Harrisons face when Prince stepped up and burned up his guitar. Dhani loved it and had a big grin. I'm so glad that Prince did that for the world to hear. All the musicians are very talented, but once Prince started playing, there was no comparison of the king on the stage.
Prince played MANY instruments and wrote over 1000 songs. The man was truly an icon. His personal style was always ridiculed and overshadowed his talent. I have "While my guitar gently weeps" on my playlist and I get chills Everytime I hear Jeff, Tom and Prince together. Sign of the times when addiction takes the ones we admire before their time.
Prince, one of the greatest musicians of all time. At 22 he could play 20+ instruments fluently. His death was a massive loss and we can only wonder what he would be creating today.
It's not one of the greatest guitar solos of all time. It is the greatest. Check it out if you haven't yet. He doesn't make his guitar gently weep, he makes it sobbing cry.
He definitely was trying to prove to the world that he belonged on the list of Rolling Stone 100 greatest guitar players. He snubbed. He knew it. Anyone being honest knew it. He melted everyone's face off that night. All you have to do is look at the faces of the guitarists on stage with him. They knew they were in the presence of greatness.
This kinda reminds me of an experience I had before. I was part of a band and the manager gave me the song Purple Rain. I spent days learning it and coming up with a guitar solo of my own (Sort of), and then the day of the performance, the manager said he was giving the song to his son! I spent a lot of time getting that song polished just for that shit to happen?! He says he did it because he couldn't trust me to learn the song due to my busy schedule, but the truth is, he gave it to his son because in his eyes, God forbid anyone other than his son gets to shine on a song as popular as that! I will never forgive that stunt he pulled. A few years later I got my payback, by playing that song with other bands, giving it more of a soulful and emotional playing style.
Rolling Stone also rated Michael Jackson the 85th greatest singer of all time which makes me think of the David Lee Roth quote " Most music critics like Elvis Costello because most music critics look like Elvis Costello " .
Prince was from another planet. There has never been a musical artist with such brilliant mastery of so many instruments & never will be…The music, the songs, the lyrics, the perfectionism, the stage presence, singing in multiple keys…there will never ever be anyone on his level musically.
I've just discovered this version of the song and his solo two days ago, and I really believe from now on, this will be my personal "greatest one" among all, probably along with one or two others that don't come to my mind right now.. But still, one of the 3 best ever!! I've been struck at hearing it and had to play it twice to digest the genius..
I've brought this up so many times. It is a classic "Butt Hurt" when Prince dropped of the list. He didn't want to be a "Guitar God" and stepped back for a while. Lack of new tunage dropped him from the best of list and he was not thrilled. He had a blast here and the other musicians are trying so hard to cue him back in..."Guitar Drop" See Ya!
I like all the musicians that participated in the George Harrison tribute, (being a Southerner, I particularly LOVE Petty! Lots of respect for him! R.I.P.) That said, Rolling Stone (and the like), as well as Rock stations in general, have always snubbed black Rockers-- particularly guitarists, (how ironic, huh?). It's almost as if they go out of their way to do this. I've heard guitarists most will never learn their names (other than, say, an Eric Gayle) that would COMPLETELY annihilate a number of the 'celeb' types and personalities that have been lauded for decades! In any case, appreciated the video. Cheers, (RIP, Prince and Petty.)
Same here, brother. Well said! I grew up in Memphis in a family of pro musicians, so I've seen LOTS of amazing, lesser known guitarists. (Like Eric Gayle and Shawn Lane) My own little brother was a prodigy. From the time I started teaching him guitar to the time that he surpassed me was a matter of months - and I'd been playing for years. He was playing SRV & Hendrix _flawlessly_ by the age of 13. Legends like Derek Trucks and Buddy Guy knew my little brother and would always hang out with us when they'd come through Memphis. After a year of practice, my brother could play slide guitar just like Derek. He got so good by age 15 that he started learning hardcore Jazz because shredding blues solos and playing slide just wasn't challenging enough. Lmao When he was 19, he severely damaged his right arm and was told he'd never use his hand again, let alone play guitar. He refused to accept that and just re-learned how to play guitar from scratch with a partially paralyzed right hand. He's STILL better than 97% of the guitarists I've seen in my life. ..and that's just my little brother. There are many others like him. There were even others like him in our own city. Lol My point being: Human beings are incredibly talented and always will be. This idea that "real music" died after the 90s is absurd. ..and so is the idea that we should judge the overall state of music by what's popular in the mainstream. ..or "rank" musicians in top 10 lists like they're athletes.
Could this have been a tip of the hat to Clapton? After all Eric did say when asked, how does it feel being the best guitar player in the world? Eric replies with, I don't know, why don't you ask Prince! I play this iconic video on RUclips all the time
Thank you. Ages old fake quote attributed to a few musicians/guitarist over the years. What bugs me the most is the tendency among some of Prince's more hardcore fan trot out this type nonsense as a way of validating his prowess as a musician. Prince was a damn good musician as a whole IMO. I knew this without having an amen corner or standing in the echo chamber of his fandom. Nor quotes(real or fake) from his contemporaries
GEORGES SON LOVED IT . ASWELL AS EVEERYONE THAT WAS THERE . ASWELL AS ALL THAT HAVE SEEN THE PERFORMANCE ‼️‼️‼️ THE BEATLES‼️‼️‼️‼️ THANK YOU PRINCE 👑. YOU ROCKED THE WORLD‼️
Correct - Prince had heard right before the show that Dani Harrison was taking the death of his father very hard and worried about breaking up during Guitar Gently Weeps ..Prince without even rehearsing the song once went out there to cheer Dani up - and he achieved it too.
At 14 is still disrespectful, Prince is no doubt top 10. My opinion is top 5. Eric Clapton was once asked how it feels to be the best guitarist alive? He answered I don't know go ask Prince
My 2 favourite guitarists over time and of all time, were both criminally underrated in their lifetimes - Prince and Gary Moore. ( Maybe with Rory Gallagher and Bonnie Raitt in top 5 too of Rock and Blues in partic.) They created beauty as well as playing with tremendous skill and feeling. Not just musical machismo which leaves me cold about some of the R & R top 10.
Anyone with half a brain knows damb well. Prince is in the Top 5 of all Guitar Players of all time. And within the Top 10 if you're a hater. However the Rolling Stone's Editor was a know Racist. When fellow musicians say Prince could out play them on almost every instrument. Then there is little else to say!
Prince remains one of the greatest modern-day, electric guitar .and a hellava bass hook player balling perfectionist ever witnessed performer /instrumentalist and multi musician, singer and timeless angelic voice of underrated world class performer ever known in a wealth of muilti talented, mainstreamed entertainment ..
His solo for while my guitar gently weeps was fire, but maybe chill a bit on prince as one of the all time great guitarists. I never listened to much prince but heard most of his hits growing up. I'm not a big fan of pop music in general. So other than while my guitar gently weeps, what other really iconic guitar solos does he have? I look to David Gilmore, Jimmy page, Eric Clapton, Jerry Garcia, kirk hammett, Stevie ray Vaughn and so many others who wrote album after album of mind blowing solos and riffs.
I'm a petty bitch. I fully admit it and am not ashamed. I adored this man before but after hearing this I love him. This is no one better. His musicianship will not be surpassed in my lifetime. Rest in power.❤
It is very unfair to all the musicians on earth comparing Prince with guitarist s from earth Prince came from another planet where only super musicians live ty Jay from RUclips loves Prince as a god from another planet 🎉❤
You should hear Prince's version of the National Anthem. Done with only the Guitar and no vocals. As a Guitar player my self. I don't know of a better one in my lifetime. I love many other great players.
if anyone is putting shade on Prince's guitar playing in this clip, 'as not that special' - riddle me this: in all the year's that Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has been going, with all the inductee performances and all the all-star band performances, why is it that it is the Prince one that's the only one with the millions of views and the only one that people mention or comes to mind?
Prince was unique. He felt the music, check out his solos on Red House, Just my Imagination, She's allways in My Hair, or anything from the funky period of power trio Undertaker era. Prince is still up there jamming the he'll out of the guitar. He was great guitar player.
He made a hundred better solos before. Ever heard about 1999 or Purple Rain album and movie? There's some guy playing guitar! Prince is in the Top 5 of best guitarists.
That is the best live guitar solo I have ever heard. Nobody can listen to that performance and maybe a few of him doing purple rain live and say he's not top 100 greatest guitarists of all time. He might be top ten
🎸🕺🏻 Prince is #1 best ever guitarings, but his guitars on my gentles guitar weeps at rocking rolls hall of fame 2004 solo, doesn’t work to argue that Prince the #1 best at guitars, to all who just laugh at the rocking rolls fame 2004 video for proof. They need to put out all best Prince guitarings solo videos for all the haters, making fun & dismissing on Prince #1 guitars ever! 🎸🕺🏻
This was easy stuff for Prince. What made it great is the way he plays it so effortlessly and the whole mannerisms and even the way he was dressed. He wanted to see the stage before the performance so he could wear the same colours
I never considered this one of his best solos. It was certainly a great performance, but it was clear that he had every intention of making it all about him, as opposed to it being a tribute performance to someone else. But you could see the other musicians were in total awe of him. Never knew he was pissed off and out to prove a point. Mission accomplished.
The thing most people leave out about this performance was its true purpose. It was a tribute to George Harrison. I don't have an issue with Prince's performance. He's a great player, and his solo in this tribute was equally great, but he just walked off-stage while the last notes were still resonating, completely disrespecting George Harrison. Prince made it about him when it was supposed to be about George. Very bad form!
@@dwb73watch the whole video of Dhani Harrison running after Prince shouting “where’s Prince? I wanna give him a big hug” Absolutely everyone was delighted and it was Prince night too because he was inducted in the r’nr hall of fame that night. Even Keith Richards speech said Prince was dynamite As soon as Prince starts soloing the whole audience stood up. Maybe you are the only one that doesn’t get it 😂 It’s only rock’n roll 😂 George loved music rock’n roll and a big show because that’s what is it about. People going crazy and …well, I don’t think you understand anything if you need an explanation 😂😂

well I wish I could hear the bloody solo after listening to all that pap.
Prince at number 14? You gotta be kidding me
Well, it would have been nice to have heard at least, a LITTLE of Prince's guitar solo. But all we heard was the commentators mouth!
Saying anything to discredit an amazing virtuosic performance, the man has left this Earth, let his Spirit rest in Peace!
If there was ever a perfectly performed live guitar solo it was done by Prince in front of the world,
I’m surprised Rory Gallagher doesn’t get a mention if we’re talking guitarist . Jimi Hendrix simply loved him and thought he was the best…
The thing most people leave out about this performance was its true purpose. It was a tribute to George Harrison. I don't have an issue with Prince's performance. He's a great player, and his solo in this tribute was equally great, but he just walked off-stage while the last notes were still resonating, completely disrespecting George Harrison. Prince made it about him when it was supposed to be about George. Very bad form!
The song was over dude
@Cormac-jd2kx this is clearly over your head, dude.
@@dwb73watch the whole video of Dhani Harrison running after Prince shouting “where’s Prince? I wanna give him a big hug”
Absolutely everyone was delighted and it was Prince night too because he was inducted in the r’nr hall of fame that night.
Even Keith Richards speech said Prince was dynamite
As soon as Prince starts soloing the whole audience stood up.
Maybe you are the only one that doesn’t get it 😂
It’s only rock’n roll 😂
George loved music rock’n roll and a big show because that’s what is it about. People going crazy and …well, I don’t think you understand anything if you need an explanation 😂😂
You just figure this out?
Not the first or last time The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame or Rolling Stone Magezine got something very wrong.
