covers p couldn't do

Prince has been criticised on here by some for playing covers when he has so many of his own songs he could play in concert. This got me thinking that although P seems quite adept at playing funk, rock and soul covers (by ear) do you think he could play a classical piece on the piano by eg Chopin, Beethoven or Liszt? I'd love to hear that!

I always thought Prince could tear some hard rock/metal songs a new asshole with his guitar skills. I know it probably wouldn't suit him, I'm just saying he's capable...Not so sure about the vocals tho, lmao!

Yes...I believe he could play classical music and it would be heaven cloud9 The man's best instrument is the piano imo eek Yes he plays the hell out of guitars, but his piano playing is magical wink

Rockabilly. Prince could do it (and probably well) but not likely. I also adore P on piano.

Since he loves the Latina mamacitas so much,maybe he could do some reggaeton or bachata..I'm sure some of them have taught him the language by now...I guess covering Pobre Diabla by Don Omar would be a stretch huh?....lol
