Taking another look at the footage I think there's a high chance the instrument wasn't meant to land on the floor when he threw it.

Thanks for excited for pointing out this.

Whether it was a guitar or a guitar pick, it was rude.

Not impressed with that behavior at all.

Probably not nearly as bad as discovering Prince remodelled your house while he was renting it and made it tacky as hell.

Man, get the fuck outta here. You apparently do even though you can't read worth a damn. And to hell with your second naive comment.

sarcasm about your glowing critique!

Oh. Well damn, then I apologize for my response. I thought you were being serious. Sorry.

Maybe it's already been settled and he wrote that comment when he was still angry (then deleted it).

So you implicate Prince settled at the condition of nondisclosure?

Thus wiping his past once again....!!

Do you?

I'm sorry, I don't quite understand your question.

I'm not implying anything else than that some of the earlier posts by Captain Kirk Douglas might have reflected his initial anger over the incident and that they've already discussed the incident and settled it.

I certainly have not referred to any sort of legal actions myself.

But please don't make that stop you from trying to make it seem like I did.

Maybe he was showing his disgust at The Roots & cover band PrinceSS performing Darling Nikki on the show last December!I've just watched their performance and it's truly cringe-worthy!

Most likely not.

Settling is out of court and can be done entirely without court or whatever.

Just show the damage to mr P.

Tell him to compensate.

Mention his bad karma at the courthouse.

Receive cash.

Profittt!!!

great performance. the solos were very well performed. Im surprised that prince gave home girl some solo time on the guitar. .. had "bambi" in my head all day lol.

the guitar throw- i love when ever Prince does this . Its so bad ass and rock n roll. but to break anothert musicians guitar is just bad taste. dude had no right, but thats how prince is, he can be a jerk. and for some strange reason thats another reason why im so down with the purple yoda...... I seen Kirk perform before and he is great at what he does.

Take a look at my reply #20, on page 1. That's exactly what happened.

Sorry, I missed your reply. I just noticed the one made by excited.

After watching it a few times I'm pretty convinced this is what happened. He throws it far too high up in the air for the intention to have been to simply break it. In that case he probably wouldn't have thrown it towards the audience at all. It also explains why Kirk Douglas seems to have retracted his posts about it so quickly.

Good stuff for TV though.

I think it was a great performance (Prince at Jimmy Fallon), but I think Jack has got Prince wanting to show off his tricks too. I've been comparing Jack to Prince since Jack came on the scene.

Yeah, for sure, but he's failing, and badly. In regards to the band as a unit on Fallon, I thought the performance was awful. That damn beginner-level drummer was atrocious. The guitar player was alright, but seemed rushed and very nervous. That nonchalant bassist, while excellent in skill, played as if she's only tolerating this juvenile setup for a check. And then this Captain Kirk guy's guitar gets broken in a corny tantrum.

So once again, Jack makes Prince look like an old man waving his fist in the air towards a television at a retirement center.

lol You hit the nail on the head. The drumming was pretty riddled. Best performance I've seen from the guitarist, but still--like you said. Ida looks like she's leading around kindergardeners.

Still, Prince made up for everyone, especially on Bambi. The guy is just without equal--effortless.

Only Prince can answer whether he intentionally break another musician's instrument but why toss another musician's instrument in the air, knowing it's possible it could be damaged even if there was someone to catch it?

Prince borrows your guitar, shreds the hell out of it on TV throws it in the air in true rock god fashion. Priceless! If it was mine it would be my prize possession. I wouldn't even get it repaired. You can always buy another guitar.

Now, we all know that because Kirk "bitched" about his guitar getting shredded, Prince's camp is going to send him another one. Kirk should have taken the high road and been like, "Hey, Prince may have destroyed my geetar, but I now have a "Prince" collectible to tell my kiddies about!" That would have endeared him to Prince.

you're completely clueless.... guitars are special things.. you can have two of the same model and they won't be the same... i have guitars that i've bonded with to such a degree that no guitar could replace them

it was a prick of a thing to do... end of story

yes... i'm mad about this

Good grief - somebody call the waaaaambulance.

Boo hoo, I wanted Prince to sign my guitar so I could frame it and, instead, he played it on national tv before throwing it.

Don't complain when Prince gives you a story.

i gave prince a little doll of him that i made... he bent me over and shoved it up my butt... i now have to crap into a bag because to remove the doll would be sacrilege... i can't really sit down but it's soooooooo worth it... *gush*

Okay, but not everybody feels a desire to "endear" themselves to Prince.

I don't know the details behind this guitar-smashing incident, nor do I know what meaning this particular guitar might have to Kirk...for all I know, this guitar might have sentimental value and Prince treating it the way he did (even breaking it by accident) was hurtful. Throwing money at a situation doesn't always "fix" what happened.

Prince would have had a shitfit had somebody accidentally broken one of his treasured guitars. He files lawsuits at the drop of a hat. I'm amused by those who don't have all the pertinent details of this situation (as in, how special this guitar might be to him or what type of arrangement he and Prince made about Prince using his guitar) yet sneeringly say Kirk should somehow be honored that Prince broke his guitar.

This might have all been an unfortunate accident, and I hope Kirk and Prince get everything ironed out...but I'm with those that say that if Prince wanted to toss around a guitar, he should've just used his own.
