Prince is so much more than the commercial stuff you hear on the radio. If you love this, check him out live in any concert. No one performed like the purple one.💜☔️
Prince is amazing 💜 He taught himself to play over 20 instruments and is a guitar God. I was lucky enough to see him live over 20 times. If you want to react to another Prince video check out Let's Go Crazy next. It's more guitar shred and a fun rock/funk video
20 Instruments! that's Amazing - obv i had heard of Price before but never really listened to his stuff - and i didn't realise just how talented he was!!!! I've added this song to my list! - Thank you :-)
Just watched this with my hubby. I was never a great Prince fan but I was amazed at how he played the guitar. Never realized he was such a fantastic guitar player 💕
My hubby is a huge Stevie Ray Vaughan fan. When we met 30 years ago, I introduced him to Prince, and he introduced SRV to me. Two men who were born with a guitar in their hands! RIP to both. Gone way too soon.
I appreciate your honesty but I'm really trying to understand how it's possible people didn't know Prince's guitar 🤷 The man had been playing spectacular guitar since the 70s
Prince definitely makes this performance. He has so much charisma not only in his performance but also in his sound alone. 😂😂 Here are a few other Prince performances that are also just a lot of fun to watch: 2005 NAACP Performance - it’s definitely worth it to watch the full 16-minute video with the award presentation to learn more about him as an artist It’s Gonna Be a Beautiful Night All the Critics Love U in Montreux Cream/Well Done/Hit U in the Socket live at Glam Slam in 92 - Also, the 1999/Baby I’m a Star/Push medley from this show is also super hype. And the performance of Insatiable from this show is a good example of a ballad. Start there and get back to me. 😂😂😂
@@Azimov-REACTS most will say he's a top 5 guitarist of all-time. Some will say there was none better. I lean toward the latter. His Superbowl half-time show is the stuff only a legend can pull off.
This was Prince's proof that he should've been named in the Top 100 guitarists of all time (he wasn't). The song was a Beatles classic. George Harrison had already passed away when this induction ceremony happened, so they played one of his songs, with his son in the background. Also included are the amazing Jeff Lynn of ELO, Steve Winwood on piano, Tom Petty on vocals as well. And then Prince made his statement. Love the look on Prince's face when he turns to Tom like, "you want more? I got more!" That guitar he tossed at the end is in Heaven with him. RIP Prince, Tom Petty. The Prince rabbit hole is long. As a fan since 1979, I find it interesting to start at the beginning (listen to For You - it's just his voice singing the parts. That was his first song. Astounding at age 19.) Of course there's Purple Rain - any song off there is a winner. Ditto that for Sign O' The Times. Starting with earlier stuff, and working your way forward in time, you can hear the new sounds he was getting out of his equipment, and can almost note when a song on an album doesn't match any others - he probably wrote it years previously, which is why it sounds different. My favorite song, depending on the day, is "Good Love." Sung in his "Camille" voice (sped up), it's just a happy tune.
Here are some good Prince videos to search for. Prince live playing a cover of Radioheads's "Creep" at Coachella, Prince live at the Superbowl, Prince playing "Play That Funky Music" at an encore at one of his shows.
PRINCE live performances to enjoy - Motherless Child Live, Fury SNL Live, Play That Funky Music Live, Peach Live, The Everlasting Now Jay Leno, Guitar Jay Leno, or EndorphMachine Live are a good time.
Legend has it that Prince never attended any rehearsals & told the promoters that “Don’t worry I got it covered!!” Musical genius….he channeled Jimi and SRV that night!$
Prince made everything he touched 1,000 times better. Yes, you should check more of his songs out. I’m sure you’ll get lots of recommendations so I’ll stick to some live performances… America, The Question of U, Shh, Motherless Child, Play That Funky Music/Hollywood Swinging/Fantastic Voyage, Nothing Compares 2 U (Glam Slam performance), Love Bizarre (from the Parade Tour with Sheila E), anything from the 2009 Montreux Jazz Fest shows (my favorites are Empty Room/Elixer, Little Red Corvette, and All the Critics Love You), and any performance of Purple Rain. They are all brilliant and different each time. I love the 1985 American Music Awards performance.
We all know Prince is a guitar legend……we agree on that….most would consider and have considered the song to to be a soulful beautiful song…this is the first time I have heard a negative comment…..but…..that’s music…..everyone has their opinions……it’s how you “absorb” it.
If you watch really closely there are times where Jeff Lynne Danny Harrison Tom Petty are all smiling from ear-to-ear what does that tell you witnessing greatness
First time I saw Prince was in 1979 and through the decades he was Superb with and without Sheila E. On his wing❤😊a true Maestro 😮 even if Eric Clapton wouldn't reprise His solo Prince knocked it out of the house for Him 😮😅!!!
the problem is that guitar musicians never listen to Prince cause critics wanted to present him as pop as MJ could be but Prince was 1000 times more than MJ in terms of musicality in pop and as a rocking giant was just as Hendrix could be if he lived more. Then you got his jazz and blues and he is off the hook as santana is and on funk is as James Brown could be and iinnovative as Miles Davis. Still you remember his songs ...Kiss. The best ones are not the mainstream and all iin live sets. He said music does nt need to be perfect but different
Prince was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that year. One of the greatest solos I've ever seen (and that goes back quite a few years). Part Eddie Van Halen and part Jimi Hendrix, Prince never got the recognition of being an amazing guitarist.
Check out Empty Room from him in Montreux Jass Fest in 2099 or the 12,000 songs available on YT. Just search for Prince live. They were all blocked before he died. He is a f*cking genius, playing, composing, writing all of his songs and producing all of his side projects, The Time, Vanity 6, The Bangles,, Madonna, Sinaed O'Conner etc...
I made a playlist on here called "Prince: The Modern Mozart". 57 songs. I made sure not to include the typical hits. Every few songs includes some serious guitar work. Liking EVERY Prince song is practically impossible but I happen to like these. I tried to make a list that showcased his musical range.
It's supposed to be a tribute, drawing attention to the memory of Harrison, not the players. The other players conducted themselves well, without the hot dogging.
If you like great guitar work by prince I suggest Prince’s entire “2007 half time Super Bowl set” done in the rain and ruined all the guitars played. Prince’s cover of Creep (Radiohead) Coachella. Prince’s “little red corvette” live montreux 2009 concert. If you want showmanship and a funky Prince time I suggest “ D.M.S.R live musicology tour in Detroit 2004” or “the question of U musicology tour 2004”, or “Prince live play that funky music/ Hollywood swinging.”
AZIMOV THIS PRINCE LIVE PERFORMANCE OF PURPLE RAIN IS A MUST..... CHECK IT OUT Prince and The Revolution - Purple Rain (Live in Syracuse, March 30, 1985)
haha, thank you - i did feel like it was going to get crucified for saying it - but im not going to pretend to like something - i had to delete one comment because it was nothing but abuse because i said i didn't like it - haha oh well ... im glad you agree 😁
I suggest u listen to Helter skelter, revolution, and oh Darling for starters if u think the Beatles r boring. If u still think they r after hearing those songs then best wishes to u
Here's the thing with me...most people in this and other comment keep saying they never knew Prince could play an electric guitar that good! I mean come on !! Where were these people? On another planet?? It's so kinda annoying reading these people comnents about not knowing prince could play a electric guitar, when he does multiple instruments in his songs, not to mention all of his concerts ! I mean I live in the Caribbean & I know more about prince or any artist based in the united States than it's own inhabitants ! That's embarrassing! What was everyone doing ? 😅
Watch him cover Play that funky music. 17 days live. The question of U live. His cover of Creep at Coachella music festival. So so many love performances that will blow your mind.
@@Azimov-REACTS hell guitarists are meant to show off, that was a badass solo over a chord change that deserved it. That said, he was def a weird dude lol
Prince 🎸🔥💜🙌 GOAT ..... there's so many.... check out "Peach" live.... Check out 2007 Prince halftime greatest ever!! Check out AMA Purple Rain effing Awesome..... Man so many... Billy Jack blow your mind....
Check out one of his early songs "Bambi" if you like hearing him on guitar, you'll probably like it - even Ellen Degeneres liked it - her show producers on the other hand - cut it from her show.
You are spot on here! While it’s a nice song to maybe listen to in your car, it did/does tend to drone on, but then BOOM, Prince just electrified the whole vibe, performance so much that a song that again, was droning on, you didn’t want it to end!!

Check out Prince's performance of "Empty Room" at the Montreaux Jazz Festival.
Excellent reaction!! Dhani Harrison is George's son...and a perfect clone of his dad!!! R.I.P. George!!🎶🎼🎵🎹🎤🎸🎧🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘

Don't forget the Superbowl Halftime Show.
Most don't know what a great Guitar player Prince was
no! i never knew he could! simply amazing!

Musical genius….he channeled Jimi and SRV that night!$
The drummer said that

Prince made everything he touched 1,000 times better. Yes, you should check more of his songs out.

Watch Prince "Let's Go Crazy"
If you watch really closely there are times where Jeff Lynne Danny Harrison Tom Petty are all smiling from ear-to-ear what does that tell you witnessing greatness

Guys you need to zoom in on your faces. I’m watching this one my phone and I can’t see any of your reactions.
You have no heart or soul if you don't appreciate the Beatles.
A boring song ? You must be kidding. Eric Clapton played lead guitar on the original Beatles recording. He’s probably boring to you too.
This was a waste of time.
A couple of bland, lifeless, uninteresting and deeply musically ignorant people discussing things beyond their limited reach.
Original is so much better than this…
It’s subjective. This to me is the better
