The Prince Story. This week, we delve into the explosive true story behind one of rock history's greatest moments: Prince's legendary 2004 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame performance. From the stinging disrespect of being left off a major "Greatest Guitarist" list to his calculated plot for revenge against the industry gatekeepers, we explore every facet of this high-stakes drama. We'll uncover the secrets of the "rehearsal from hell," the meaning behind the red hat, the physics-defying guitar throw, and how the Purple One single-handedly humiliated the establishment to reclaim his crown. Kindly like and subscribe - it really helps this channel a lot. I do appreciate it!

This VST plugin, The Stereo Sound Extractor, is BADASS -I coded it up from over 10 year's hard research. It won awards. Now you can own it for the paltry sum of $29. Yup, I'm basically giving it away: https://burninguitfiddle.gumroad.com/...

Just Prince being Prince. While George's boy is having the time of his life.

"He would steal your girlfriend and her wardrobe too" - favourite quote about Prince.

The solo is one thing, but to take that guitar off without knocking his hat off was the real talent.

It’s not disrespectful, it’s a masterclass, they all had a chance to freelance

Biggest “hold my beer” in music history! 💜🎸❤️‍🔥

Prince’s smug grin and classic “side eye” is always a cue he’s about to let loose. Classic

Prince is so amazing, his superbowl performance took place in pouring rain and he had high heels on a wet stage. He told the Superbowl people when they express concern if he was going to perform in the rain. He said I hope it rains more. That night he played purple rain and absolutely moved about like the stage was dry and never slipped once. The guy was a legend. They do not make performers like that anymore.

I can totally see this scenario: Prince throws the guitar up, than says "Game..... Blouses..."

My dad passed exactly one year ago. I remember watching this with my Dad and my Dad and I freaked out. I miss him so much.

I was never a Prince fan, BUT that solo blew me away...right to the moon.

I always assumed he threw the guitar into heaven because he knew he would need it later.

When out of toilet paper. I use Rolling Stone magazine.

Apart from Prince being one of the most talented musicians in history, he was also one of the most generous people too, giving huge sums of money to charities without anybody's knowledge outside a few close friends. A much misunderstood legend.

I always wondered if Petty wearing the purple shirt was a subtle clue that he was in on it.

Prince didn’t make his guitar weep, he made it shed tears.

The thing about Prince that separates him from EVERYONE else is this: he could play guitar like the best performers in the world AND he could write songs like the best in the world, he could play piano like the best in the world, he could dance like the best in the world, bass guitarists loved him, his drumming was second to none. He could produce music for himself, other bands, 40 albums in 40 years! More albums in his vault we haven’t heard yet! He never had writers block. His fashion was legendary. He had super model looks without plastic surgery until his death at 57. Seriously, there has never been an artist like Prince Rogers Nelson.

The thing about Prince is that he believed that your live show should sound BETTER than the recorded version. Not just the guitar but every instrument.

He never played the same solo. I saw one of his tours 3 times in three different cities and each show had a different set list but those sets had mostly the same songs. He played the guitar solos differently each time or sometimes he would change the style or tempo of a song.

Prince liked to give his audience a different (some would say better) experience from what they heard on the recording. That is what makes him better than most IMO.

"Showing them exactly what 101st looks like." That's a powerful line.

As an Old Guy who loves Music and worked with and for many Musicians over the years, my Biggest Regret is that I never had a chance to see Prince perform live. I saw Hendrix in '69, the Doors in 70, Jethro Tull opening for Led Zeppelin in '68, the Beatles @ Dodger stadium in '66, Janice Joplin in Frisco, Cream, Steppenwolf, ELP, The Who, Frank Zappa and the Mothers, etc. etc. etc. BUT I Never Saw Prince LIVE.........so sad !
