A song he wrote in 1978 about a girl he's trying to get even though she's a lesbian and has never been with a man. You know typical stuff young men think about in 1978. With inspiration coming from greats like Jimi, Santana, Page, and Chuck Berry, all Prince had to do was pick low hanging fruit from each and make it his own. Brilliant. The ability to make it sound fresh 12yrs later after it was recorded is testament of the overflowing talent and creativity he possessed throughout his life in music art. "One day I want to be judged not by the color of my skin but by the quality of my work" - Prince 85' Mission accomplished my friend
Prince was black male, the demographic of people who made this kind of music. So, I’m sure he wasn’t inspired by hacks like Santana and Page who wanted to be like the black guys they grew up idolizing.
In my opinion prince is the greatest musician of all time, he can play over 20 instruments & he was a one man band on his first 2 albums I know for sure he played every instrument & syched it together
He could play bass, guitar, drums, and keys. There are rumors he dabbled in sax and harmonica, but obviously he never got to the point where he felt he should take it public. Hammond B3, Clavinet, and piano don't count as three instruments. They are all three keyboards. If you can play one then you can play the other. He did not play over 20 instruments. Prince is great and definitely a genius by just about any definition. No need to exaggerate.
@@thepromiseman7745 No, he didn't. If you can play piano then you can play Rhodes, various synths, harpsicord, etc. He listed the instruments he played on each song of his first album. They break down to four instrument types: 1. Drums 2. Bass 3. Guitar 4. Keys. They have different sounds but you play them the same way. That's like saying I can drive a Ford Explorer but I can also drive a Cadillac Escalade. Sure they look different, but it's the same damned thing. Name one instrument he played on that first album that isn't drums, bass, guitar, or keys.
No it's 'okay' I have loved straight women, that didn't want to go my way, I think he wrote this about Lisa? (along with his rare Lisa song)?@@zacharym6205
I wish he would've done more punk rock and rock and roll records, this shit is chaotically beautiful. Listen to that power of that electric guitar, 1:15.. listen at how he makes that mutha fucka talk & sing🤟🏾!!!! 🎸⚡⚡⚡⚡!!! 3:01 yeah! Bambi
I'd love if his family in charge of his estate and music vault would release a hard rock album of his best Hendrix and his own favorite jams he put together over the years and never released for the fans and critics to see just how much better and versatile Prince was as a rock guitarist and genius he was as an artist that was genre less and could play any style better than most from rock to blues to jazz and definitely funk! A true master of his craft!
He’s Hands down the Greatest my eyes have ever seen What a Joy it was growing up when Prince was making music and I’m eternally grateful for that 💜🙌🏻👏🏻
Nothing like fighting with an old friend as a kid over what we would watch back in the early 90s! Purple Rain or Prince in Tokyo. I chose the latter and won! Epic ASF concert!!! 😁
This is our kind of metal and Funk when it comes 2 our Purple One 💜 he reclaimed Rock N Roll at his own will. Long Live The Royal Badness! That was the national anthem of Adam and Eve! Miss U my brother!
He would fine his supporting musicians if they missed notes or made mistakes live. Prince woule remember where mistakes were made during all this.Yet who on earth could keep up with Prince? Absolutely a scorched earth performance here. He left nothing for anyone to follow.
I knew from the start That I loved you with all my heart But you were untrue You had another lover and she looked just like you Bambi, can't you understand? Bambi, it's better with a man It's so hard to believe Maybe it's because you're so young Or maybe I'm just too naive Who's to say, maybe you're really having fun Bambi, can't you understand? Bambi, it's better with a man All your lovers--they look just like you But they can only do the things that you do Come on, baby, and take me by the hand I'm gonna show what it's like to be loved by a man Bambi, I know what you need Bambi, maybe you need to bleed Yeah!
Prince was at his epic heights in 1989-1990 in particular on guitar ! Shame the video editor from the tour used stupid video effects (image doubling) on this clip: I want to see HIM clearly not with all this blur !!!
PRINCE ROGERS NELSON AKA "PRINCE" IS..WAS..AND WILL FOREVER WILL BE THE (YAHUSHUA/JESUS CHRIST) OF THIS ART WE CALL MUSIC. BEFORE HIM, NO ONE ENCOMPASSED ALL OF THE ELEMENTS OF THIS ART CALLED MUSIC. AND I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT HIS EFFORTLESS ABILITY TO SHAPESHIFT FROM ONE GENRE TO THE NEXT. THERE IS NO GREATER "SINGULAR" TALENT AS FAR AS MUSIC IS CONCERN THAN PRINCE.
more metal than slayer, more funky than earth wind and fire....yes!
How is this funky or metal?
@@andrewdaniel386 Just my opinion! My way of saying this was just badass...thats all.
@@andrewdaniel386 CUZ IT IS !!!
Agree!💜
Agreed Totally !!!
And people say he wasn’t a good guitar player…. he could put anyone to shame
This is the best live version of Bambi
Facts
There is a better one and they keep taking it down
@@RTDavis0503 which one?
@@mouloudo it's the one where it's just the New power generation trio

This is the first time I've heard Bambi. Prince's guitar work was perfect in every way.
It's off his second album from 1979.
A song he wrote in 1978 about a girl he's trying to get even though she's a lesbian and has never been with a man. You know typical stuff young men think about in 1978.

This is the most brilliant rock & roll song I ever heard in my fucking life.
This man had a metal song as a teenager
This is definitely the sequel to im yours , which was on his debut FOR YOU
He was actually 21
@@jayjack399 Wrote it when he was like 16-17, recorded it at 19.
@@dominicmackey9381u took the words right out of my mouth. I'm Yours was our first taste of that guitar 🎸 work...
I discovered this video last week or so, and I probably watched it like 60 times already
You & Me both but I can definitely beat 60 views. lol.
Simply untouchable. An exhilarating version of a gem of a tune!
Gay woman here- Prince is the only male I ever I ever "loved" . Man he was FINE. RIP
Straight man here, and yeah, Prince is fucking hot.
@@stonahmusiclover when I first introduced my son to Prince he said 'Man Dad, girls must love this guy.'
Question, how do you feel about this song? Seems homophobic but maybe it's not that big of a deal/product of its time?
No it's 'okay' I have loved straight women, that didn't want to go my way, I think he wrote this about Lisa? (along with his rare Lisa song)?@@zacharym6205
I agree and i say this as a super straight man! @stonahmusiclover
Greatest talented artist of all time 🥂🤘🍺
He can make those two chords in the verse swing and rock like no one else
1:32 Prince gets on his knees while playing what sounds like a sustained G# note on his Tokyo Blue Cloud.
Prince had music pouring out of every pore in his body. He was music in it's purest and rawest form ( with a whole lot of practice).
I wish he would've done more punk rock and rock and roll records, this shit is chaotically beautiful. Listen to that power of that electric guitar, 1:15.. listen at how he makes that mutha fucka talk & sing🤟🏾!!!! 🎸⚡⚡⚡⚡!!! 3:01 yeah! Bambi
Fury.
Making her SCREAM!!!!!! 🎸🔥🎵🕊💜
He did plenty. I’m yours, Bambi, a song in the vault called call of the wild, fury, dreamer, etc
@@rickstraws92 He did a punk version of When Doves Cry, right?
He did. They just weren't mainstream. Prince was a rocker at heart

I never knew he performed this live. I used to play this song over and over again on the album.

Thank you for posting! Great to get to watch it as I've only heard it off the live album. Also better than the studio one 💜
I miss The Purple Yoda

I've lost mobility on my left leg. The pain is excruciating.
See a doctor
PRINCE!
Prince is so fucking cool.
Best, at everything, ever ❤

NLP Nothing Like Prince💥💜💯

I knew from the start
That I loved you with all my heart
But you were untrue
You had another lover and she looked just like you
Bambi, can't you understand?
Bambi, it's better with a man
It's so hard to believe
Maybe it's because you're so young
Or maybe I'm just too naive
Who's to say, maybe you're really having fun
Bambi, can't you understand?
Bambi, it's better with a man
All your lovers--they look just like you
But they can only do the things that you do
Come on, baby, and take me by the hand
I'm gonna show what it's like to be loved by a man
Bambi, I know what you need
Bambi, maybe you need to bleed
Yeah!
Omg................................
Araki was propably there in first row

3:27 I hear Hendixs.
Wow

Fucking heavy duty!

From 2003-2004 he improved his guitar playing
I know one thing for sure all of the toughest looking lesbians wanted to get with that brother.
Prince did like to show how it's done I case you forget
El himno de las mujeres que aman a otras mujeres ❤
I can imagine Type O Negative playin this song ...🎼
Type O Negative was just gothic Barry White.
FIYAH!!!!!O(+>
BAMBI!
Feck me, that shit is unsurpassable.
I know a BAMBI, CHANGED HER .😎🤪🥴👍🤓
Sweet
@7x1 Bambi is about a lesbian woman. Prince is telling her that it’s better with a Man.
If I was the DJ at a lesbian bar this would play every night until they inevitably fire me.
Steve Vai and Prince

I.know a transwoman named Ms bambi
I dead ass thought this song was about a gay guy being jealous over his boyfriend dumping him for a girl
Lol! You do know now?
I read that his family sold most of his music rights…. Such as Welcome 2 America……….Smh
The Blue Angel doesn’t half sound good here.
