bubinga5 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) dont think ive posted these? my memory is quite bad mind.. im nearly coming to the end, of properly listening to everything hes done in his recording side.... i think the man is about as much of a musical genius as a guy can be... maybe not the classics, but times have changed apart from Stevie, hes the last of the super star geniuses.. .. the best thing that happened for me was Prince asking Maceo to play for him....... on another thought i think money is slowly suffocating music... check these out..

Mykesbass Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Sorry for the hijack B5, but I thought you (and other funk/Prince fans) would be interested: http://funkatopia.com/funk-news/a-revolution-reunion-without-prince/ That should be a fine gig!

Thunderthumbs Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 My wife once won two tickets for The Brits. I had no desire to attend. Not my kind of thing (all that music industry backslapping crap and all that). Anyway, she took her sister instead. What did I miss out on? Prince live.....showing them all how it's done. Paul Weller live....my biggest musical influence as a teenager in the late 70s & early 80s. And a few others I had a liking for at the time. Maybe I'll think twice next time!

Kiwi Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Live At The Aladdin is my second fave vid after Y2K. Prince may be a wee bit egotistical and unfashionable but he's still one hell of a musician. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krispn Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) I do love me some Prince. A few years back I bought Musicology and remember laughing out loud at some of the tunes because of the classic Prince-isms tracks like Musicology with that upper register riff, On the Couch with the little groans and the sheer filth of the track and some great playing and tone throughout. Rhonda Smith, I'd imagine, was responsible. Oh and the showmanship! Fuggedabowdit! Edited November 24, 2011 by krispn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike f Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Check out The Sensual Everafter on The Rainbow Children album. Prince plays a bass solo on there. I'm not a big fan of bass solos but this is something else. Its not flash or brash; its just wonderful and uplifting as is the whole track. Not only good choice of notes but great tone too (and subtle effects). Treat yo ears! Larry Graham played bass on The Work. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
