i think steve is better,but maybe prince is better.

heard of any prince's stuff? he's got a ton of it. and a lot of it sounds pretty wicked, dude.

A good night for parody.

not only i have heard prince stuff,as a matter of fact i know how to play 'em on guitar,big amount of prince's stuff.
im only intrested in what felow orgers thinks who is better on axe.

steve is wicked guitar player.
many guitar players com\nsider him right there with steve vai,eric johnson(prince helped eric to get his first record deal)
satriani...

The guitar in "Rosanna" vs the one in let's say "Temptation"

Prince
steve does get maddd props, though.

guitar solo in rosanna is much much better then guitar solo in temptation.
guitar solo in rosanna have much better structure then moust guitar solos prince did on records.

any musician who knows something about the music know that
drum shuffle from rosanna (not to mention guitar solo)is
something that is very hard to play,and it doesn't sound like that at all.

prince is my childhood idol,still is...
but i only try to be objective.
prince isn't a god.
anytime somebody on the org say something
that doesn't go in props to prince,people on the org got mad
and start to fight.
face it ,he is great,but there is and there will
always be somebody who sings better then prince(stevie wonder)
somebody who is better drummer(steve gadd)
better keys player(again stevie wonder ,chik corea)
bass player(jaco p.)
guitar(stenley jordan)
prince isn't a god.

this is the org, that argument doesn't go over too well here, so don't waste your breath posting it again, just a heads up.

sinisterpentatonic said:

thanks lovebizzare,but this only proves one thing
99% of the people on org. are prince opssesed fanatics,
who think he is god but 80-es god ,people who completly
ignore everything he did after lovesexy.
of course there are exceptions ...

thebanishedone said:

Whatchoo tawkinbout!?

Toto..the "cash register machine" sounding band?

thebanishedone said:

I pity any fool who comes to the org claiming somebody's a better guitar player than P!

I think your username is going to become very real if you keep this nonsense up, FOOL!

rdhull said:

hey, shut up, "hold the line" is a kick ass song

lovebizzare said:

I lub me some Toto..believe me..Hold Da Line, 99, Georgy Progie, Steanger In Town, Good For You, Africa, etc

but Toto

It's not about the technical skills ...
IMO ... TOTO makes really commercial and cold wankers-rock.
So it's hard to copy his solo's? ... I'm glad about that!
...
again, appologies to those offended.

Who is a Better Guitar Player:

Prince or:
CC Deville from Poison?
Neal Schon from Journey?

hmmm???

:LOL:

Lukather has better, cleaner technique. Lukather's solo's are also boring, faceless and lifeless whereas Prince's are full of soul, expression and drama. So who's the better guitarist? That depends on wether you are a music lover (P) or a Guitar Player Magazine editor (L).

Toto is a band with fantastic musicians who spend all their energy to create shit music. By shit music I mean miles away from what they could do. Steve is a fantastic guitarits technically speaking but he doesn't do anything to me. No soul whatsoever.

So yeah I'm sorry...I prefer Prince even if he is a very limited guitar player who knows up to 3 or 4 chords (cynism).

i saw Toto play in London this year and i tell you, they are good musicians but Lukather might as well had just been playing his dick.

Dude, since you started to get on my nerves lately, i decided
that this time i take the opportunity and tell you a few
things about music that you probably have not understood
so far. And by the way, i read somewhere else that
you play guitar. I wish you all the best for your own personal
career, in case you intend to built one.

We`re talking about art here, am i right?
If it comes to real art, then please tell me, what
does that have to do with the Olympics?
Wether i like Lukather or not, there is absolutly no doubt
that he`s a brilliant, outstanding guitar player.
You - you are a guitar player, i am drummer, for heaven`s
sake, why do i have to tell you that?
In real art, there`s no place for contests.
If you live in a small village, and there are like, let`s say
three bands that can play, then of course, they would compete-like who`s got the biggest audience, which band has
the best looking groupies(...!), stuff like that.
Can`t you see that geniuses like Prince or Stevie Wonder
or if you see them as genuises Toto, are already up there,
so high in the sky?
Why don`t you try and open your mind, look at the colour
of yourt heart?
Let me tell you the colour of my heart. The colour
is purple - it`s crystall clear sparkling shimmering
purple, with a touch of gold to it. Almost.

Back then, the media created a picture of the Beatles
and the Stones competing with each other?
Do you really think they were? I believe they had a lot
of fun in the first place, probably celebrating each day
because they knew they had something to create. They both took ideas created earlier by black musicians anyway.
Isn`t it all about that? Creativity?
Record sales? For heaven`s sake, who cares?
Unless they are your own, of course. And then?
Can you make a living out of that? You can? Good. Enjoy.

Please do me a favour, stop getting on my nerves
by confusing art with the Olympics.
Do you think you could do that for me?
Thanks in advance.
And once more, all the best for your own career.
Peace.

I feel so much better now. Ha!

Sorry, i forgot one little thing.
Don`t smoke too much weed.
A little bit of something beats a whole lot of nothing.
