If heaven would excist, I would prefer to be in hell, where all the great rock stars and guitar players would heat up the fire with bruning sound and deafening solo's.

And Prince would beat them all.

if one is to believe the ancient books are correct, thats probably where theyre all at... not sure the guitar strings, neck, body and headstocks would hold up well under the intense heat...besides, fretting the chords with the fiery lesions and blistering on their fingertips, from the persistent flames, would be impossible to pull off... more likely, they are there rethinking ever signing that deal with the devil to play Lucifer's magical instruments... according to "folklore", of course

Ahhhhh, well, that's why hell is not about heat, fire or burning flames. It's about eternal pain.

And from (eternal) pain, many great songs were born, finger bleeding solo's were played, hot tears played on cutting strings.

The unbearable heavyness of being, or the misunderstanding of life, even not being able to live in peace is hell on earth.

The unbearable lightness of being is also here, in our valley of tears, bruied deep in mother earth.

Lucifer is a fallen angel who was the head of the ministry of music in Heaven when he was in heaven. It has been said of him he was the most beautiful of ALL angels and he was the director of the flow of music there (Praise and Worship). Of course, now he no longer is….. but there are several scriptural references throughout the bible the denote his previous authority over music when he was in heaven. One is Isa.14:11 – “Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.” This verse right here is speaking of his fall from heaven, and how all of the glory he had, and the gifts he had fell with him. The noise of thy viols indicates the stringed instruments he had charge over. But yes, actually throughout the bible in passages in the books of Ezekiel, Job, Isaiah, even Psalms upon speaking of his past life…it tells us he was the minister of music there. Of course he no longer is now though. Lucifer means morning star. Job 38:7 – When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy Lucifer was basically a walking talking musical instrument. Ezekiel 28:13 – Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: THE WORKMANSHIP OF THY TIMBRELS AND OF THY PIPES WAS PREPARED IN THE DAY THAT THOU WAST CREATED. 14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering CHERUB, from the midst of the stones of fire. These were the same words that were spoken of lucifer in Isaiah 14:11-14 (11 All your pomp has been brought down to the grave, along with the NOISE OF YOUR HARPS; maggots are spread out beneath you and worms cover you.)-(New International Version) King James Version 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

You are in rare form this fine day...allegedly.

They say the greatest singers/musicians have known this pain and it allows them to communicate so beautifully with their audiences...Elvis, Prince etc.

Exactly.

Sometimes, even that heartfelt created feeling comes in like a cutting knife.

Somtimes I have to protect myself from certain songs.

But that's all good.

The sparce consuming of certain songs, make it all very valuable and worth while.

But that's a whole other topic.

what and where is "heaven"?..and how do you know that Prince (or the guitarists that you seek to compare him to) is there?

.

A timeless state of being for the souls that have departed from earth.

Prince must be there because he left such a mess with his heritage.

Prince made it to heaven ,Michael Jackson didnt make it in

Heaven is where someone chills, not have a guitar duel to the death.

Why would he need to prove himself?

.

Plus if there was any throwing down, I am sure Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye would come up and want a sing off. Michael a dance off and Ray Charles in a Piano off.

.

Following the rules, automatic first choice - Jimi Hendrix, who will be happy with Prince until Santana shows up.

Heaven is about the oceanic feeling of oneness-kinda like heroin.

I think a lot of musicians are seeking that feeling on earth-Prince included.
