Moderators Lee Knight Posted February 5, 2007 Moderators Share Posted February 5, 2007 I'm not trying to ruffle anyone's feathers, but he didn't play any-of his-or-other songs thru to the end, like all along the watchtower, why do you say this is great, I'm miffed by the thoughts here and I really don't think I'm being that harsh, this is probably a good place to just shut-up. You're just completely wrong, that's all. You might not like it... cool. But if you fail to see the complete mastery he has of his craft and art then you should get into bowling or something... with all due respect.

Members 2180 Posted February 5, 2007 Members Share Posted February 5, 2007 Jesus Christ man, if you want to see true mastery, just look at Hendrix @ Woodstock. Assless pants has nothing on Hendrix or even Alvin Lee for that matter. The last dude I saw that was even close to Hendrix was Richie Blackmore, but that was just guitar, I must live in a lost world.

Have you been smoking dick hairs? You must be deaf and blind, as well as partially mentally challenged. Loosen your helmet and go grab a snack pack and a juice box...The Wiggles are on cable somewhere. Find them.

Now for a second imagine Jimi were alive and saw that performance tonight... what would he think? I suspect you believe he wouldn't have liked it... but trust me, Jimi would have been grinning the whole time. Jimi knew the real stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mike McLenison Posted February 5, 2007 Members Share Posted February 5, 2007 Funny, I like his look (without the babushka) and showmanship, but I wouldn't buy his music or purchase a ticket to attend a concert of his. I think Purple Rain is mediocre at best and the girl almost-touchy-thing is a silly contemporary compromise. Leave that shtick with David Copperfield.

Members audioicon Posted February 5, 2007 Members Share Posted February 5, 2007 I was one of the people not happy that Prince was going to perform at the Super Bowl. But I don't like football so I don't care, never watched. Prince is very selfish and self centered, I don't think this forum Harmony Central would exist if the people in here had the "Prince Mentality. I'm not going to comment on his performance because I did not watch the show. Personally I think Prince is a great artist but the fact that he builds this "Berlin wall" around his career and music makes me question his attitude as a musician. Like I've always said, I hate propriety and Prince is another proprietary artist! Personally his recent work "IMMUO" stands for in my minority unsolicited opinion, sounds like garbage compare to older songs. He always comes out with these secret prodigy that gets no where and later dropped from their labels, what's up with that? Audioicon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't most artists? I know I am. I can be a complete asshole when it comes to my music, and that's what it's all about...the music. Prince isn't making music for you. He's making it for himself. He is very closed, but I like it when people do their job and move on. I don't need Prince to have a reality show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as he left stage I turned the channel. It's very interesting to see people who love music complain about terrible music, no talent, semi-"artists", ect. flooding the market...when we finally get a taste of someone who is worthy of the spotlight...they aren't good enough either. Make up your mind people. I'll watch/listen to Prince over Justin Timberlake any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members audioicon Posted February 5, 2007 Members Share Posted February 5, 2007 Prince isn't making music for you. He's making it for himself. And you think that makes him a great artist? WOW! I've never heard a musician speak like you did, but this is a forum and people are in music for different reasons. I personally never write or make anything without first putting in to prospective the impact it will have on a listener. Well I'm glad you said it because I have never bought a recent Prince CD and never will unless he pulls his head out of his rear end!

Phil O'Keefe Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Yeah, can we lighten up with the insults all around please? One great thing about music is that there's a ton of different types available, and none of us are required to like the same sorts of things. Please respect the rights of others to their POV.

He's always going against the grain anyway, but If you don't like it, that's certainly ok. I'm positive he won't miss the $ you would have spent on the CD.

I have Purple Rain and really liked his music until now. I don't think he's weird and loves his style. But as I've mentioned earlier, my problem is with his hide away personality in terms of reaching out to other musician. I listened to the interview with Quincy Jones about Prince refusal to sing with Michael on Bad, he's selfish but not a bad artist. If he ever makes another great song, I'll buy it.

Maybe it's selfish, but I don't have a problem with that. I would love to have heard a song from the two of them, but hey...that's the way it goes.

If he ever makes another great song, I'll buy it. Maybe the incintive wasn't there. Eddie Van Halen, from what I understand, didn't come out smelling like a rose with the deal he cut for his performance on Beat It (Thriller). I give Prince credit for being shrewd in business matters; where is Prince compared to Eddie these days? I didn't watch the SB, but my kids did at their dad's house. I might have sat in to watch just for half time had I thought about the performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ani Posted February 5, 2007 Members Share Posted February 5, 2007 Found the performance on YouTube...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-gLWj-_TBshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9k83AC7d0A I thouroughly enjoyed the performance and especially the stage and stagecraft involved. I never listened much to Prince when I was younger, too bad, he's a great Blues artist when he sings the blues. I was only aware of the POP version of Prince.

Members JLo Posted February 5, 2007 Members Share Posted February 5, 2007 I too enjoyed the performance, and I will agree, the mix absolutely sucked up until the last 45 seconds or so, but even then they could have used a bit more guitar (they turned it down WAY too much from previous) But did anyone else notice that he wasn't using IEM's??? How the heck was he monitoring himself while being all over the stage like that? Any ideas? Was a whole slew of wedges all around the stage? I certainly didn't hear nay bleed, especially when he knocked over the mic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bp Posted February 5, 2007 Members Share Posted February 5, 2007 Prince did a fine job, It was maybe a bit subdued because of the wet stage, but he played / sang great. Too bad the engineer lost the guitar at the end of Purple Rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ani Posted February 5, 2007 Members Share Posted February 5, 2007 Amazing. ...and, in the pouring rain?!? Dumb question... electric guitars, power amps, and other electric musical appliances??????? Pouring rain??? Electical shock would seem to be a major concern from an outsider's point of view. Have they weatherproofed live outdoor musical performances? signed....Clueless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jeff da Weasel Posted February 5, 2007 Members Share Posted February 5, 2007 No Ani, electrocution was indeed a real danger, for not only Prince but each of the hundreds of people (techs and so on) who were coming into contact with pouring rain and live electricity. Regardless, his performance was magnificent. I honestly am positive it was the very best Super Bowl halftime performance in history, bar none. And yes, like Where said: everything was track except guitar and voice, but both of those were magnificent. Yes, the guitar was mixed REALLY FREAKIN LOUD, but luckily it was also played REALLY FREAKIN WELL. - Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electical shock would seem to be a major concern from an outsider's point of view. Have they weatherproofed live outdoor musical performances? Now THAT is something worth discussing. I for one was fearful that something negative would happen. I dancer slipping and landing hard, mic shock, or an amp blowing up etc. I guess they had those amps under the stage somehow or under plastic over by the band. Prince himself seemd a lil hesitant to touch the mics, but they were cordless so it worked ok. I did notice they changed guitars on almost every song though. Was this due to safety or finger slippage? Both? I'm sure Prince is years past showing off his guitar collection etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
