Bless Rosie. What a voice! 4:02, absolutely heavenly! 👏🏼

It will forever be an easy choice for me in a list. Definitely badass and I can’t understand why some of those 90s gems never stand up against his 80s hits, I know there’s a lot of different styles of music in that decade but god they’re good! Safe to say it’s my favourite decade for Prince music. I’ve heard the live version he did on The Chris Rock Show… I will have to dig for that one you mentioned though! Nice MJ impersonation at 1:30 also 😂

Okay that worked! What a performance! Love that shot midway through the solo where the camera pans out to the crowd showing their love, all arms up. The man was just pure class and style (personally and musically). I may have to look in to purchasing that boxset also! As for the O.P questions, I guess they’re harder than expected 😅 My favourite album: as much as this might sound crazy, I find myself listening to the Batman soundtrack more often than others! So I guess I would say that’s my choice, I can’t really find fault with any track, IF i do skip any it would be The Arms of Orion as it’s a little soft for all occasions. My top 5: (alters very often) Erotic City Shockadelica Gett Off Face Down Come On (currently my favourite on repeat!) There’s many many more I could add but sadly I made the rule with only 5 😂

Can’t see any of the videos your inserted, I would take that as a good sign.. I have noticed the official Prince channel likes to split shows up though and release single songs from concerts which is a shame. As for Prince and his final years performing, the guys voice did not age at all. Absolutely mind boggling he sounded perfect his whole career, I showed this performance to my 52 year old father in law over Christmas and asked how old he thought Prince was in the clip and his reply was “in his mid to late 30’s?”… much to his surprise I said he was 52… same age as him. He felt ashamed Prince was so full of energy and so youthful looking as apposed to himself 😂

There is a recent interview with Duff just posted today where he talks some more about Prince, apparently Prince once questioned Duff to get the juicy gossip about the reason for the break up of GNR 😂 Prince talk starts at 14:35

If you like his more guitar driven music here’s one mentioned by @colonizedmind the other day, amazing guitar playing, a modern take on the psychedelic era.

How original

I debated whether or not to create this thread but having spoken to a couple of members now and seeing the love for the purple one and his work I thought this would be an ideal thread to make instead of making the odd one or two posts in main page threads. I also thought there’s probably plenty of members who may have not given Prince much notice so might stumble across this and find a new artist to enjoy and indulge in. I have to say, once you find a song or two by Prince that you have to press repeat (and you definitely will) something eventually clicks and you will want more. With 30+ albums… there truly is something for everyone. So, members who are already fans, let’s start with something simple, Favourite album? Top 5 songs?

Not a first time listen but a first of really soaking in the music and emotions, the lyrics and that incredible ‘Hendrix’ inspired guitar playing. A very different sound and style compared to only a few years earlier with 3121 and Musicology. Is it my favourite work of his, no, but I truly enjoy it for its unique and diverse style compared to the rest of his catalogue. The inclusion of a cover of Crimson and Clover was a real surprise to me, I’m not actually a fan of that original song but Prince is a guy than can take someones song and truly give it a “purple” twist, adding in Wild Thing was just his cherry on top. Colonized Mind, Dreamer, Wall of Berlin and Feel Good Feel Better are the highlights for me. Very powerful album, some very psychedelic moments you almost feel transported back 5 decades! Also after a read up of the musicians the helped on this album I was pleasantly surprised to see a return of Michael Bland and Sonny T. Love those guys!

Let the Ozzy vs Kayne battle begin! 🥊

Dude I had the exact same comparison in my mind! The low vocals sound like Till… but drunk or something 😂 Off topic, your name inspired me to give Lotusflower a listen earlier, what an album! pure brilliance.

Holy crap!!! That was an emotional journey 😂 “what I did, I did for yoooooouu” 👏🏼😅

I see your pantyhose I raise you Dua Lipa

Things go quiet in GNR world for 3/4 months and majority of the fans become “swifties”.. Christ! 😂

I may sound crazy here.. but I just don’t see it, she annoys me with her silly facial expressions in her videos and performances. I’m more of a Dua Lipa kinda guy

My heart skipped a beat when I saw this thread was “HOT”… and it’s all posts about Taylor Swift. You guys.. seriously 💔😂

That is literally such a guilty pleasure of mine, even played it a few days ago in the car. #Noshame. 😂

Same 3 chords for the verses.. I wouldn’t say they were inspired. Izzy just added the chords over Slashs’ riff/noodling. But hey, we weren’t there so who really knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

All this time I believed you were an actual teenage mutant ninja turtle.. my heart is broken! 😅

I still don’t mind the video or the song, not my favourite by any means, but it’s funny, remember all those years we literally obsessed over the “mythical” song we only knew the name of.. now look at us.. most of us can’t stand the song and absolutely despise the music video. Truly a crazy turn of events in the gnr fandom

What’s the Slash version of “getting the corn”? Because that guy will probably get it

Does Gilby age..? He looks almost the same as he did in the early 2000s on that tv show he had

Blasphemy.
