prince fans but not fans of his guitar playing

i know that most prince fans love princes guitar playing.
but are there any fans who are more into other stuff he does but dont feel him as a guitar player???
his guitar playing is very raw,
noisy,distorted so maybe some fans don't like that.

Uhhh...no. I love his guitar playing. I don't think he's the greatest guitarist of all time or anything, but I love it.

How about the opposite? I know a man who's a guitar player, and is all about 60s, 70s, and some 80s rock...he freely praises Prince as a guitarist in particular and a musician in general, but hates Prince's music! lol

I've met quite a few people like that. They'll say he's incredible with the guitar or piano but not be able to get into his music.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Prince's guitar playing makes me want to take my clothes off. It's orgasmic. If I'm in public and I hear a reallly good Prince riff, I have to concentrate very hard not to go wild.

I LOVE Prince's geetaring!

Well that would be ME actually.

He plays guitar its cool and all, but im more of a fan of his SHOWMANSHIP! the spinning, the mic stand tricks, all that is what made me think he was cool.

Thats why parade and lovesexy tours are my favorite of his cool

His guitar playing is Raaaaawwwww and emotional.

Darling Nikki is a classic example. As is Purple Rain.

Anger, frustration, pain, etc...

It works for me.....
Shut up already, damn.

Yep... I'm sorta thinking "The Cross" when you say that .

The softness at the beginning and the way it builds up.

Great for me anyway...
