I was on Youtube not to long ago and watched Prince's guitar solo for "While my guitar gently weeps"when he was inducted into the RRHOF for the first time. I went back to his part about twenty times it was that good!!!! I didn't think the sexy midget could shred. As for Slash, he has no room to talk because I heard his guitar playing and frankly I am not all that impressed. He actually put me to sleep. I rather watch Eddie Van take a shit then smoke a cigarette than waste my precious time watching the douche pretend at playing the guitar.Leave that to the big boys like Jimmy Page,Eric Clapton,Van Halen,Jimi Hendrix,Prince,Steve Vai, and so forth. I know Princey acts like a egotistical ass wipe sometimes but he has more talent in his pinky finger than slash has in his whole body. mad

to be honest wit u prince is not even in the league wit those.....but slash is up there.....do you who should up there????.....jack white of the white stripes nuff said.... duane allman too

Prince maybe usn't in the same league because he is not only a guitar player
but if he sat on a stool and jam with those guys i'm pretty sure they all will be impressed.
Prince always was a master guitar player
i don't like Slash but he can play
btw
anybody of you heard Rod Stewarts cover of Prince's song Peach?
Slash is playing lead and rhythm guitar on cover of Peach

better song writter on what subject ?
social issues maybe ,
but is Sly better then Prince
at writing songs like Erotic City?

i wanna say that everybody is better at something
then the other in some aspect of creation.

What is more important is that we have Sly and Prince and Allman Brothers Band and many other musicians to enjoy so why the need to compare?

Prince is great at what he does and lucky that people dig his art.
i think that in music the only thing you can compare is someone better or worse singer.

Key bolded words there. That suits HIM great. Yes. Your right.
However his playing, and even his catalog of music, doesn't suit everyone right.

Slash's work, on the other hand, is much more widespread/relatable/connecting to hearts around the world.

Anyone saying Slash is insignificant might as well say they're not a fan of honesty. Cause that's what music is about, one should recognize and appreciate it even if they don't "get it".

Prince would put up a fight in a room with Eddie Van Halen and Slash.. but in the longrun would be put to shame. Those boys have far more tricks up their sleaves.

For what it's worth, Slash was part of the best rock n roll band on the planet that night. Young, wild and super hungry.

Prince, on the other hand, was onstage thanking Anita Baker. neutral


A- "duuude, let's get F'd up and sh*t before the awards!" "H3ll Yeah dude, let's DO IT!" Prince had matured past that stage of artistic adolescence,lol

1. Thanking one of the last soul songstresss for something can't be wrong.

JesusFreak i understand Eddie Van Halen and Slash suits
you better but what
you said is just your opinion.
lets look at the facts
yes Slash and Eddie playing is as you said :much more widespread/relatable/connecting to hearts around the world

but thats only because they are strictly bonded to a guitar .
they don't sing don't dance don't play other instruments.
but those two guys are very limited players compared to
Prince
first where Prince kills both of these guys is Prince
Amazing Rhythm guitar playing.
Eddie and Slash can't play 10 % of rhythmic figures Prince plays on an average day.
if you play jazzy backing track do you think Eddie and
Slash would play jazz guitar as Prince can do,no Prince
isn't a jazz player but he knows jazz

much better then those two and he showcased it
numerous times.
Eddie would kill Prince if they should play tapping .
but who cares for tapping anyway?
tapping is great but not in every song like Eddie does it.


i never ever heard Slash and Eddie play rhythm and
lead guitar at the same time.
Jimi Hendrix done it,Prince also
example:Just my Imagination solo(you can hear Prince covering rhythmic and solo figures at the same time.

point of this long rambling is :if you wanna be a great guitar player you must be great rhythm guitar player.you cant be great without that aspect.
when you are a master of rhythm then you are master of
guitar solos also
with Prince's sense for timing and rhythm there are no
limits for Prince he can play whatever he wants.
when Eddie And Slash learn to play rhythm guitar like
Prince then they can be compared maybe
p.s. have you heard Eddie's solo on 2007/08 tour with David Lee Roth
Eddie is former shadow of himself.

Let's not forget that despite his bold stage presence, Prince was VERY shy off stage--less so now than back in the day. I wonder how many incidents that have been interpreted as "snubs" by Prince back in the day were more a result of shyness than rudeness. After all, this is the same guy who had one of the best-selling albums of 1984, and then confided in an interview two years later that he would have been nervous around all the musicians in the We Are the World session.

I can understand Prince's not wanting to associate with the GNR ilk, but he's always seemed to be the type to at least be polite. And GNR were fucking huge in '89. I'm sure Prince at least knew who Slash was, even if he didn't own a copy of Appetite for Destruction.

Slash is not the first great guitarist that Prince has snubbed at an award show. I remember back in '85 or so Stevie Ray Vaughn said he was sitting behind Prince at an awards show and tried talking to him and Prince completely ignored him. SRV was pissed and said something like "They say his name is Prince but he acts more like the Queen bee." SRV was not happy. Prince is socially weird.


Yeah,I remember this story lol This same situation happened with many other celebrities too.In 1985,Prince appeared un-approachable at many of these award shows.

i agreed with everything you said, ofcourse rhythm is vital. i'm not to familiar with EVH (whose probably neck to neck with P on the piano) ... I can say his riff on Hot for Teacher has a fantastic groove,

but Slash... man he knows rhythm. It just may be that your not a heavy listener of his junk, but as a guitarist i know his style inside and out. I don't have time to dig up his whole archive where he perfectly executes rhythm down, but I will leave you with this video;
2:50 - to the end wink
http://www.youtube.com/wa...jsH5mT33Pg

You Could Be Mine, Rocket Queen, and Patience are also prime examples of his rhythm techinique
