You suck Albie!

Purple Rain all day :D

 

I was never a Prince fan until I went along to a gig at his O2 run knowing that at least I was in for a night of hits...but I was gobsmacked. That man is amazing. Up with Hendrix musically and technically, he's got to be. An absolute virtuoso; musical genius on so many levels.

 

It's such a shame he's long gone the wrong side of loopy and control-freak, and sues all his fans who put his images or vids online. As a result he has no online presence, and is very very quickly being forgotten.

 

It also doesn't help of course that his best work was more than twenty years ago, and that he's been pushing out absolute shite for fifteen years; he's doing himself no favours. His best stuff is up there with the classics and simply deserves to be remembered, imho.

 

Purple Rain indeed :sunny: If people who didn't like him could only hear the bootlegs I've got of his O2 shows (four out of the twenty-one) they'd be blown away, but if I upload them and post the link I'm running the risk of having my internet shut off by his lawyers...

I love Prince because he writes and sings quality pop songs. Prince is much more than that, but if more pop artists could live up to the likes of Prince, Michael Jackson, and Elton John, I'd be very happy.

If Prince could live up to the kind of stuff he was writing almost 25 years ago all his fans would be very happy!!
