Grrrrr. I could tolerate a lot of over-estimated wannabe-greats, but not this poor joke of a "musician".
He finally proved that a symbol is not the thing itself, but just a placeholder for something that is so much bigger. A quantum of empty nothingness.
Heck, I could not stand this talent-free, whimpering peacock. As far as I'm concerned - no, he won't be missed at all. He was an offense to any musical artist with talent and skill. A narcissistic, hopelessly overestimated dilletante. Think I never heard a single note by him that his voice was able to hold.
Not missed at all, I'm cold-hearted enough to say.

I gotta say that is pretty cold even for you.
He may have been flamboyant and strange but was a talented singer, song writer, performer and killer guitar player. He sold over 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time, won seven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe, and an Academy Award and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, the first year of his eligibility. Not bad for a 'over estimated wannabe'.
Not everybody has the same taste in music. Most people have some compassion and respect for the dead.

I wasn't crazy about the music that he did or his flamboyance. However, You can't argue though that he was incredibly talented, combining funk with Jimi Hendrix and a driving rock sound with soul and R&B. He was particularly innovative in combining all these things.
He was also a gifted producer, working with Jimi Jamm who produced a few Janet Jackson albums. He worked to form the 80's group, " the Bangles " with Suzanna Hoffs and also Sheila E. along with many others.
I remember when there was a tribute to George Harrison of the Beatles at the 2004 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Iinduction. The all star cast included Prince and keyboard great Steve Winwood as well as the son of George Harrison, Danni, playing rhythm guitar. They played the Iconic song " While my guitar gently weeps " and Prince did the solo. It was incredible. I had no Idea Prince could play guitar but the all star cast knocked it out of the park.
He was a bit of a rebel, fighting with his record label to maintain creative control over his music resulting in his new name " The artist formally known as Prince "

Do :nope: yourself, Neal.
I stayed, mostly, silent when there were threads on Michael Jackson, Witney Houston, they had some musical strengths but all in all are not really amongst mankind's - or art's - greatest known names and will be forgotten in a hundred years; regarding Amy Whinehouse I really bit my lips considering what I really thought; I stayed silent on David Bowie since I found him sympathetic after a long TV biography about him many years ago, and liked at least his intense performance in Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence at least - his musical work is overrated, however.
But always seeing dilettantes being hyped and crocodile tears being shed over their departures is no nice experience, and is frustrating, and it is unfair, because there are so many really talented and really skilful musicians of many different genres and other artists out there who are or were capable of so much more class and skill, but just did not or do not get talked about because they lack(ed) the media lobby and the wide class-less audience that knows - and often knows nothing - about quality in this or that arts - and that is the far greater lack of class here than me calling a dead man as what he really was: a hopelessly overrated peacock so much in love with himself that I know no cure for this syndrome - and who was, in the end, a dilettante craving for validation who knew not half as much about making music as the world now claims him to have known.
You devalue and and offend musicians and artists who are so incredibly much more better than this peacock ever was, if you think dying is a value in itself and death reserves the deceased person the right to claim merits he did not justify in life, at least not by the outcomes of his chosen profession. If you compare a random limmerick to Shakespeare, you offend Shakespeare. Popularity is no indication for quality, I have learned already a long time ago. The taste of the masses all too often misleads you.
I prefer to give credit were it is due - and to give not were such compliments would go at the damage of people doing so much better. To die is no accomplishment healing the failures of a person's life. No personal friends or relatives are present here. No offence is being done. And this "man" was acting in public like a carricature of a man. Being a man myself, I take offence from this clown.
No loss there that is beyond the family's circle. And the family - is not here.
And u crank, music is not completely an issue of taste, it has a basis in mathematics, in harmonics, and in capabilities of people doing it. This guy especially lacked the voice to sing. He yelled or whimpered, he had no volume and no voice fundament. His arranegment are said to innovative, I see them as opportunistic and clueless. Respect the dead, you say. I would have said nothing if he died and media would have left it to it. But the headlines scream "one of the greatest musicians/artists/younameit". Simple truth is - he wasn't. And as I said: dying is no achievement.

That is not what I said. I said everybody has different tastes in music. That taste is an opinion. Opinions vary.
..it has a basis in mathematics, in harmonics, and in capabilities of people doing it.
There is much more to music and the appreciation of it than that. Music is not science. There is an aspect of it that cannot be readily defined by the analytical mind. That part of this appreciation can vary widely. Those who say their taste is better than others are musical snobs plain and simple. Tell me what you like and I'll pass judgment on your taste.:cool:

I can't really say it better than that. Skybird, U crank and others are simply saying have respect for those that have just passed and have respect for the opinions of others as well. I agree with them.
I agree with you in that I didn't particularly care for his music and I'm free to like the music I like, as you and everyone else is as well. as my uncle would say, " If we all liked the same thing, the world would run out of Chocolate Ice Cream.
Prince was a gifted musician and producer in addition to being innovative in his approach to music. Innovation and taking chances and risks are what make music great. People are simply saying observe some decorum.

While not a super-fan, I always liked Prince. He was a artist who could do pretty much anything in any genre. He was a guy who broke all boundaries, had a multi-racial band which had men and women on an even playing field. This is a guy who brought out music almost every year, sometimes more than one album a year. Maybe a bit pretentious and aloof at times, but I can't doubt his talent and dedication to his craft.
If you put Prince in a room with some instruments he could produce an album alone. If you had put Michael Jackson in the same room he might come up with some vocals, but without substantial back-up help, no music.
RIP, the Purple One.
The local news outlets have been all over the story today. Something that has been happening, and that is rather unique, is the surprising number of studio musicians, engineers, and producers who have made public statements about Prince, all of them describing his generosity toward the musicians and staff at recording sessions and his very great sense of humor. It is surprising, not only in the quantity of the comments, but in how rare here in Los Angeles, arguably the recording mecca of the world, it is for studio personnel to actively comment at all on the passing of a major recording star. There is an almost unspoken code of silence regarding what goes on in the studios. Prince was known to require an NDA from those who worked with or for him, hence very little was ever heard of the behind-the-scenes activities in his sessions. Now those who worked closely with him are saying, to a person, he was nothing less than a consummate professional and gracious presence in the studio. One musician, a well-known and respected bass player who had worked sessions over many years for some of the very biggest names told of how, when he met Prince, the first questions Prince asked were about how it was like to work with all those famous names, particularly Barbara Streisand. There was none of the sort of "me, me, me" you so often find in lesser talents. It says a lot about someone when those who have worked with a person hold not only his talent in high regard, but also his ability to make a human connection with others he worked with...
There used to be a rather famous recording studio studio here in Hollywood, about three blocks from my home. The studio is now gone, torn down to make room for a strip mall. Prince loved the studio and would very often book out an entire day or several days to record. When the studio closed, the owners were interviewed and, when asked about Prince, the told of how he would stay in the studio, all by himself, and play all the instruments and sing all the vocals. The studio provided an engineer, usually the owner or his wife, but Prince also did all the engineering work and the mixing, so all they really had to do was keep the tape rolling and provide Prince with anything he might need for his work. They also said he was very polite and always thanked the owners for their assistance; he was a model client...
Something else a lot of the general public does not know is the extent of his generosity towards various causes and people. A radio DJ here in LA told of the time when a legendary, pioneering, and very loved station was sold and the new owners decided to go from a rock format to a "slow jazz" format. There was a grassroots effort to try to change the new owner's decision; Prince called up, out of the blue, and offered to organize a benefit concert to try to raise awareness and money to save the station. He was the first to offer and, shamefully for the other major rock stars who make LA their home, just about the only one who did anything proactively about the situation...
When Prince came through LA with his Purple Rain tour, I was lucky enough to see what was a truly amazing show; besides Prince, the bill included the Sheila E Band and members of The Time. Even more amazing than the show was what Prince did in the afternoon before the show: at Prince's expense, buses were sent to inner city schools in LA, where students could never have afforded the price of a ticket, and the students were taken to the LA Forum where Prince and the other acts put on a free complete show for the students. Little was known about it at the time because Prince banned the press from the event and used his clout to secure the silence of the reporters. This, I learned later, was something he did at many other places and times in is career. Add to this his many, many shows done to aid charities and raise money for the arts and a more complete picture emerges than is seen in the media reports; and, remember, when he did those acts, it wasn't for the PR or photo-op or pat on the back, he did it because it meant something to him on a personal level...
Prince was an amazing talent, a musician in every sense of the word, someone who could express himself in funk, rock, soul, blues, jazz, hip hop, R&B, and just about any other genre he set his sights on. The world of music is less now he is gone and, for those to whom he extended his generosity, the world is even more so...
RIP, Prince...
<O>
RIP Prince. He was too young to go the way he did.
You must admit he did have an amazing talent. Not bad for being self taught to play the guitar and other instruments. How many of us can say that about ourselves? Not many is my thought. I just wish I could play the guitar even a little bit.
On another note, Vanity who was his protégé back in the 90s also died a short while back, at the same age... 57. I did hear that he was only 2 days away from his 58th birthday.
You have to admit he sure had an amazing adventure, whether you liked him or not.

57 years? Our bodies are made up of the same energy and matter stemming from the big bang. When you think about it we are as old as the universe itself. I know the body eventually expires and goes back from whence it came but the mind!

Reported to have had the flu for an extended time before he died. Found dead in his elevator in his manison. (I just got over the flu and it took 3 weeks)

And I recall there were at least two opportunities during my lifetime when two such "stars" durign the opening could not even sing the national anthem correctly. Not even mentioning the often so terrible quality of the star's "singing", which often sounds as if a heavy hammer has fallen down from somewhere and right on the singer's toe.

The National Anthem of the US is one of the hardest songs to sing. The range in the Anthem is very high. Many can not reach the notes. Unless of course some words were missed or additional words were added from lack of practice or mistake I can not say that there are many that can sing the Anthem at the ranges required to effectively sing the song with clarity.

The range in the Anthem is very high. After the initial concert and meal, the Song would be sung in order to open the after-supper, more light-hearted part of proceedings. The verses, which are difficult to sing because of their wide range, would be sung by a solo singer, with the entire Society joining in the refrain.

If true, it's another reminder of how dangerous prescription pain killers have become.
Regarding the Super Bowl show: when the rain started, the organizers, concerned about Prince's willingness and/or ability to perform in a driving rain, went to him and, when he was told about the weather, he replied "Make it rain harder". Also, Prince had a deep aversion to pre-recorded backing tracks and felt artists who used them were cheating the audiences; not only did he perform in that rainstorm, every bit of the show was live without the use of backing tracks other acts at the Super Bowl had used before and since...
A bit of a side note about the Purple Rain tour performance I referred to earlier. About midway through the set, Prince held a jam session, bringing out members of Sheila E's band and members of The Time to join The Revolution on stage. Prince played piano and would call out chord and key changes, count them down, and the musicians would hit the mark perfectly; the caliber of the musicians with whom he surrounded himself were truly amazing and met every change without a hitch...
During the jam session, a good-sized group of people also came on stage, some of them trying to sing backup, others picking up tambourines and other such instruments and joining in; as I watched the session, I noticed some guy go over to Prince's guitar (he was playing a Telecaster for the show), strap it on and try to play along; he seemed to have great difficulty in playing; I'm not sure if it was because he just couldn't keep up or, perhaps, the guitar was in some kind of open or dropped tuning the guy wasn't familiar with (Prince was a big fan of Joni Mitchell and used some of her open tunings); the guy eventually gave up and joined the backup singers. It wasn't until the next day, when I read a review of the show, that I found out the group of people who joined the musicians on stage were other entertainment celebrities, including Madonna. I also found out the guy who could get going on the Tele was none other than...Bruce Springsteen...

Yes, they are very much dangerous and they are way over-prescribed and overused. A lot of otherwise clean people have lost their lives due to these medications. If something really needs to be controlled, its these types of medications...
Questions about whatever medications he was taking should be seen in the light of the fact Prince was an epileptic. He may have also been taking other medication to control or mitigate his condition. Some of the drugs used to treat epilepsy are really severe in their own right. My sister suffered from epilepsy and Grand Mal seizures and had to take a whole host of drugs, some of them very strong narcotics. At one point, her doctors became concerned about the long-term effects of some of the medications and stopped their use; my sister went through what can only be characterized as a very torturous, severe withdrawal. Whatever you may have heard about going "cold turkey", until you see it first hand, you have no idea of how horrendous it really can be to the sufferer. If Prince was taken meds for his epilepsy, his ability to withstand other medications may have been compromised. And persons should not fully depend on their doctors to be aware of possible harmful interactions; I know of people, including myself, who have had experiences with doctors prescribing meds and not fully taking into consideration possible problems with harmful interactions or incorrect dosages...

In some ways that's a relief to me. Just last month I had a rather serious bout with influenza, and I'm nine years older than Prince. When I read about people my age or younger dying from one thing or the other I start to worry. When I find out there were other factors involved...well, I still worry, just not as much.
Like some others, I was never a fan, but when someone who did have an effect on so many people passes it is always something to be regretted.

I was never a Prince fan, but I liked a lot of his songs, they had a lot of very colorful imagery. Raspberry Beret, with all the strings and horns, and Lets go Crazy, with the killer guitar solo.
I was never a fan but I heard his music all the time. My first roommate in college played the Purple Rain soundtrack in his 74 Firebird all the time. He wore Brute aftershave if that means anything. :haha:
Prince was a fixture in the 80's. I did much of my growing up in the 80's so his music has some meaning to me.

The flu and pneumonia is nothing to fool around with. I don't understand the Percocet addition. I have had lung collapse 3 times and Percocet prescribed for pain(chest tubes for 7-10 days). Never had any inkling to keep on taking them. In fact, stopped the pain killers as quickly I as could which was usually 2-3 days after the tube is shoved in my chest and sutured to my skin.

Like Hitler and....?
EDIT:
Sorry, sure you mean only the good guys.

Anybody doing some google kung - fu will find some snippets.
OK, I know, I know here are "gifted" artists doing even better than that :haha:
