Thank you! Took a little break while things have been very quiet in the GNR world, this intrigued me enough to join the party again

Let’s be real.. that would be a good cover of an autobiography! (Minus the “drag me” part 😂)

Never seen this before, what a great performance! He seemed genuinely overwhelmed during that. Idas face at 3:15 shows she was soaking that special moment in. Love her playing, her turnitup album is fantastic also! You can definitely hear Princes influence In that Happy that you got to experience this song live for yourself, and even happier you got to witness Prince live in general! I had a number of chances to see him and never did.. I will forever regret that.

Never knew Michael covered it too! Thanks for pointing that out! Betcha is great, love the slow jams on Emancipation, such 90s vibes. Lets Have a Baby is a sad listen though when you consider his and Maytes loss, but overall the album is such a fun listen with so much variety

It’s been an Emancipation session at work today, this one stood out for me and I may have repeated a couple of times. As one of the comments on the video says this guy could’ve sang the phone book and made it sound beautiful 😂

Well, your wish was granted.. terribly sorry for how it turned out though 😅

@colonizedmind This one hits the feels… such a cool MF though “grandpa still whoop that behind!” 😂

Funny you mention Zeppelin, I found this the other day and thought it was a hell of a compliment from Plant, a duet between these two would have been another level

I completely agree.. I did say though “I understand some may not like it”… so I wasn’t attacking you for your input or the people who don’t feel him. ✌🏼

I think If anyone does have problems listening to his voice it’s more the “character” Camille is my guess.. his natural voice is very clean and almost soothing, he can add little or a lot of power and have that rasp (Endorphinmachine), he pitched up for many songs (Camille) he also pitched down rarely. He played with his voice by adding squeals, moans, grunts, shouts.. he truly treated it as an instrument and not just a singing voice. I understand some may not like it.. I don’t get it though..

I just meant in the sense that if there’s any vocalist that you’d consider “screechy” or “scratchy” it’s Axl.. especially in the 90s. I actually find some early ‘91 shows somewhat difficult to listen to due to Axls voice being TOO overwhelming in terms of that. In a way I was just messing with @Axls_Moustache_Rules though, due to his comments about Prince, it’s all a bit of fun and having a laugh, nothing to be taken serious or anything. Nothing but peace in here ☮️✌🏼

Yes! Every Day Should Be a Holiday is also glorious track, love listening to their old stuff for good ol’ 90s vibes

Just came to mind… the “screechy” vocal annoys you… and you’re a GN’R fan? 😂

I wish I had an even a small amount of the creativity or energy Prince had in his younger years. I do look at Prince as having around 4 different eras but when I really think about it they transitioned so smoothly it’s hard to pin point the moments of transition. I always find it amazing that he went from LoveSexy to Batman to Graffiti Bridge to Diamonds and Pearls… in just 4 years… D+P being the biggest change of course. The change in sounds and even his look/style is such a short period of time in absolutely crazy. The man was a true innovator and I truly don’t think he will ever be matched.

Average.

Is that a bit more ‘manly’ sounding for your liking? 😂

I just don’t get it 😂 You seem very hard to please musically, so who’s one artist that really does it for you? Who is your main go to over anyone else? I’m truly intrigued, hopefully you might be able to inspire me with a new artist for my listening pleasure.. 😊

Loved that clip since the first watch, if only there was more studio/behind the scenes footage like that. I have the Batman album on vinyl too, my nan passed two years ago and after a few months passed me and my grandad went through all the records they’ve collected over the years… that was is there! I asked him if I could have it and he handed it over to me. Gave it a spin while I was with him of course. I guess in some way the album is sentimental to me so I’m biased with picking a favourite album ha!

‘the hell outta here! 😂 over 30 albums, over 500 songs written by Prince.. average? I start with: A young 20 year old Prince… everything you hear in this song along with rest of this album is Prince, all writing, all instruments, produced, mixed by himself... 20 YEARS OLD. Mid career: The music speaks for itself. Enjoy And finally, one of his last performances before his life tragically ended. 38 years after his first album… the voice didn’t age a single bit.. Average you say?

I started the thread in Anything Goes (non GN’R discussion) then soon realised My World was the place for other music discussions, we made it to the right place in the end 😅

Thank you.. I eventually realised it may be in the wrong section but thought I’d just ride it out and see what happens 😂

6:35 onwards, so aggressive and funky! Was Prince playing any bass playing during that extended outro? I hear his guitar playing but we know he’d swap around different instruments very frequently. What I’d do to travel back in time and witness those shows 😫

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 😂
