I just don't. Sorry. I'm tired of holding it in and wanted to post it somewhere.
Prince could shred but NEVER FUCKING USED HIS GUITAR TALENT in the MUSIC for some STUPID reason
he'll absolutely shred for 3 and a half seconds on the intro of a song and then throw the guitar away
wtf
First three points sure that’s just like, your opinion, man. I’m not a huge fan either. But he was just objectively good at playing guitar. Maybe you don’t like what he did with his skill but dude could shred.
Prince is one of the few musicians to accomplish Metallica levels of cringe
“I personally can’t stand digital music,” he says. “You’re getting sound in bits. It affects a different place in your brain. When you play it back, you can’t feel anything.
We made money [online] before piracy was real crazy. Nobody’s making money now except phone companies, Apple and Google. I’m supposed to go to the White House to talk about copyright protection. It’s like the gold rush out there. Or a carjacking. There’s no boundaries. I’ve been in meetings and they’ll tell you, Prince, you don’t understand, it’s dog-eat-dog out there. So I’ll just hold off on recording.
That second part is killing me because it sounds exactly like a Trump quote
Right down "people tell me, (my name), (thing that I'm saying but want to make it sound like other people are the ones saying it" lol
So this is where the split in the leftist revolution happens. Prepare to face the wall while standing in the purple rain you blasphemous scum.
I know, I was drinking and feisty. I will report to gulag for reeducation.
I'll be honest with you, I don't think I've ever listened to a Prince song.
I don’t care how talented you may have been under different circumstances - if your artistic peak occurred in the 1980s, you suck and are terrible.
Hm. Perhaps he would have been acceptable if he were born, say, the same year as Roger Corman.
:no:
there was no synth music in the 60s, so that would severely limit his powers
Wendy Carlos's Switched-On Bach was released in 1968, and is better than all '80s synth music.
wendy carlos is extremely good, but john carpenter's movies would be worse without synths
Agree. I never understood the appeal either. Assumed it was largely just about an aesthetic that I just couldn't get, but I'll admit that's kind of arrogant. Also, didn't he become like a Jehova's Witness? (Just checked on wikipedia and yeah, he did).
I used to play guitar too, and while I could appreciate what he did, it absolutely never... felt inspiring to me.
I don't think there's anything wrong about becoming a JV. I'd just highly recommend that no one do it.
I think that he peaked when the US peaked, so too much of his music reflects the boring tastes of his mostly white, generic fans. It kinda feels like the same white people's funk of Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson.
I feel more bad for the artists that had to pander to the taste of their boring audience. (not that I'm disagreeing with you)
Stevie Wonder is totally OK. It's just that some of his listeners are totally :LIB: s. I think of him and NPR for some reason.
Guy was vegan so :shrug-outta-hecks:
Also I think he was privately against gay marriage, but I don't think that he did anything much else overly cringy, unlike say Eric Clapton.
There’s a house downtown that is painted purple and has a neon Prince symbol sign in their window. Your worst enemy I’d imagine
