I don't think prince could have worked how they did either though he still nailed it. He does what he wants with his own team and likes calling his own shots, not others.

this is more about the air that they held that they were better musicans

Prince obviously thought fuck them and did his thing

hyep,, backstories are always important..i remember when it haqappened that some were appalled at shpwmanship[ and they even made mention at Petty's disapproving face ( as if he matters) now it makes sense why he did what he did and threw the guitar up, pimped walked off like fuck you guys

prince made that song come alive indeed

great solo

I don´t know if they really did consider him "not good enough". They didn´t live behind the moon, did they? Maybe they just didn´t like him. Or was one of them part of this ´We are the World´ thing?

basically.....and he was the whole show

That is a nice story.


He totally outplayed them. He is so cheecky.



I didn't know it was George his son, but I love how he laughed.




Prince showed them.

The past few years, every once in a while, some friend who knows I'm a Prince fan has come across this video and contacted me in shock how great his solo was and how he stole the show.

Always mad me smile...

Search "greatest guitar solo" on YouTube and this is usually the top result or near the top. Possibly the best I've ever seen certainly. Its not just what he plays, its how he plays it.

Straight after they showed Purple Rain in the Brooklyn Bowl tribute party last night and before the DJ came on they showed this video. There were some people watching who hadn't seen it before, and I watched their jaws drop. Great moment!

TheW00denLeg said: Is there a source for that? http://www.vox.com/2016/4/23/11489542/prince-covers Prince was being enshrined, getting in his first year on the ballot. His inductee class included several mainstays of classic rock radio: Bob Seger, Jackson Browne, Traffic, ZZ Top. And, less than three years after he died of a brain tumor, George Harrison was inducted for his solo career. As part of the banquet celebrating the inductees, always featuring an all-star lineup playing the inductees' greatest hits, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne were organizing a tribute to their pal, the quiet Beatle. Before the rest of the band is done, he frees himself from his guitar strap, tosses the Telecaster to a roadie in front of him, and just struts off the stage The way I've heard it, Petty and Lynne included Steve Winwood as part of the band, but they wouldn't let a game Prince join in the tribute. Like somehow he wasn't good enough to stand with Jeff Lynne, Zeppo Wilbury. At the last minute, someone at the Rock Hall realized, for the love of God, put Prince in there. They thankfully relented. I've never understood why they played "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," a song that, after all, wasn't a song from Harrison's solo career, a song featuring not Harrison on the guitar solo but Eric Clapton. And for the first half of the Rock Hall performance, it's exactly what you would expect or fear: a droning, stoned-out, boring cover. Then you see someone. Off to the right, in a red … fedora? Cowboy hat? Sombrero? Squint and you can recognize him: tiny Prince, strumming guitar, off to the side, hidden from view. And then: It's his turn to solo. And almost immediately, he wails, playing one of the best solos I've ever seen. Dhani Harrison, George's son, playing with the band that night, has an enormous grin on his face, like it's exactly how he'd want his dad to be remembered. Then something happens. Prince doesn't stop. Petty and Lynne keep trying to wrap the song up

No way this is true at all.

I love what Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top has said about Prince: http://www.washingtonpost...guitarist/

thanks this quote here : There are a few repeatable examples that were fortunately caught on film or record that will settle the score once and for all

The guy clearly says they way I heard it, which screams rumor mill and telephone game.

whatever, we will agree to disagree

Jeff Lynne is my hero and a mastermind, brilliant producer and musician and songwriter, remember he created the brilliant band: Electric Light Orchestra... and he adores Prince.....

I don't believe this story at all..
