Ja want Prince is echt wel supergoe, vooral op gietaar

Why do you'll think he deserves a place in that top 100 ???
I which song does he prove to be a great guitarist?

.

For a change of pace, I'm actually going to defend the l'il nose goblin.
Yes, I do think he should have a place on the Top 100. However, you do have to take into account the politics of the music industry. Since his "name change", he's done nothing to further his own cause (if he even had one) to be on a list such as this. He's essentially excused himself from the music industry and crawled into his own world.
This, we all know by now.
I won't claim that all the 100 people on that list don't deserve to be above him, because I don't know all of the names on it...therefore, I can't speak of their talent (or lack thereof).
The man was once a fantastic guitar player...and he has been praised by some of the best. But, I will go back to my notation of the "name change". I recall in many "interviews" before the "name change", he was cited as naming people like Jimi as his influences...hell, he even kinda looked like Jimi for a while. But, after the "name change", when asked what his influences were, he said, "me". Simply put, he took back his own words and dissed everyone he ever said he admired. So, I don't blame the music industry for giving him an arguable raw deal on this list. All the same, I'm sure, if none of this ever happened and he was sane, he would've had a spot on that list for him.
But, the real question is...does he even care anymore? I'd have to say, I don't think so. Given that he's done his best to ensure that he shuts out everyone and everything that brought him to a pinnacle position in his chosen career, I'd definitely have to say that he doesn't.
But, I digress...that's just my 2 bits. I realize it looks like I've done virtually nothing but bash him (again and again)...but, I really do believe he deserves a spot in there...somewhere...

Do u actually know anything by Prince? Considering the fact that he shows amazing talents live, there are a NUMBER of tracks and albums that contain his wonderful playing.. not to mention a full acoustic album. What do I actually have to point out?


Please, dont post if u dont know shit about Prince.. everyone in their right mind who knows any knowledge about him knows he deserves a spot in the top 100.. or even the top 20.

... Yeah right? the accoustic set is really pioneering?

So if my opinion differs from yours "I don't no shit"
I'm really into Prince ... he was the greatest artist of all. He was really great on the guitar, especially when Dez joined him. But there's a differce between a good performer and a technically good guitarist.
Everybody on that F**n' list can play those solo's.
And Prince isn't a pioneer on that guitar.

You can't mention a specific song either in which he's really showing his gift as a guitarist? How should a non-fan ???

By the way .. I hope you didn't hook in after 1987 ... than you haven't seen Prince performing neither.

I don't give a shit about those lists ...
but it annoyes me that others do!

I've checked if Jimi is nr. 1 and where Eddie Hazel stands, purely out of curiousity.

no hard feelings!
