When Doves Cry - Prince | Father and Son Reaction!

[@fatherandsonreactions]

We were finally able to get this one through! 😊 😃 -Ethan

[@doobiedave9686]

Congrats on getting this through, Prince and The Eagles are almost impossible to react to without getting a strike or having the video blocked. 👏👏✌️

[@metalmark1214]

There are just some bands that have copyright restrictions like Prince, Eagles, AC/DC, Ozzy, Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Jimmy Hendrix, to name the worst ones I've seen on KZbin.

[@tornripped6315]

Haven't seen any KZbin "reaction channels" play ZZ Top yet. I think you'll like it! ✌️😐

[@lennybeason1110]

Y’all definitely need to go down the Prince rabbit hole! He’s 1 of a kind! 🤘🏾

[@bluepeopledoNotexistBlacksDo]

The video your talking about is “Prince While My Guitar Gently Wheeps” video has over 100 million views

[@casperparks]

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame: "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" with Prince, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Steve Winwood.

[@saiyanleague653]

He said the sounds "they” used lol wait til he finds out it's all Prince. Also the notes he calls "MJ" notes are not that all. Prince & MJ were deeply inspired by Little Richard, Stevie Wonder & James Brown. Those sounds go back way before MJ & Prince. They're imitating their heroes. Prince was his own Genre, he was more than pop, MJ was a Pop artist. Prince was a Musician.

[@zazagirl3373]

Prince is our Mozart, he mastered over 14 instruments by age 17, he could dance, sing any note, rap, he wrote, arranged, performed ALL his music, including wrote hits for other artists, he has covered almost every genre, Metal, Punk rock, hip hop, pop, r&b, soul, jazz, blues, country, ambience, classical, tehcno, house, instrumental. The Multi-Genre God. He could play anything, and your favorite artists have been deeply influenced by him. Corey Taylor, Whitney Houston, Steve Vai, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Lil uzi vert, H.E.R. , Paul Mccartney, all worship Prince to just name a few. Prince recorded his first 2 albums at 16 all by himself, all instruments, lyrics, arrangement, composition & vocals were all by him. He was such a prodigy, that music executives wanted proof, they would fly across country just to see if he could really play all instruments, because it was so unheard of. Prince has over 50 official released albums and when he passed, they found over 10 thousand unreleased Prince music in his vault. He then came into the business and was the FIRST to fight for artists rights, and he WON. He would write "slave" on his cheek and go to meetings protesting against the industry. Prince was also one of the first artist to sell his music on the internet. You are talking about the most talented artist we will ever see.

[@dathorndike4908]

The album version is so much better than the shortened radio version

[@robertomangegali1748]

Prince plays all the instruments. Forget MJ. Prince was a genius.

[@ScottLaVine-br8wt]

This is one man doing EVERYTHING

[@bd200]

You're thinking of Prince playing guitar at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ("While My Guitar Gently Weeps")

[@angelawhite1347]

Michael Jackson and Prince were both Phenomenal, Great and extremely Talented.

[@doobiedave9686]

Prince's performance of Purple Rain at the Super Bowl halftime show back in 2007 in Miami, during a rainstorm, is a classic. 🤘✌️

[@cherylreichardt]

Agree! 👍

[@markusreeve]

A must see, Purple Rain in the rain was epic. When half-time shows were good.

[@66edoug]

My favorite Prince song,

[@cherylreichardt]

Very well done song 🎵

[@66edoug]

@@cherylreichardt 👍

[@davemac1197]

The thing about Prince is that he was extraordinarily prolific, something like 40 albums spanning five decades, in fact Wiki has separate pages for single and album discographies. He also released material under pseudonyms as well as his own name, and worked with many other artists. I was never a big fan, although I liked this one, but I always thought Raspberry Beret was a very clever song and has (my favourite) strings attached.

[@cherylreichardt]

Raspberry Beret 👍🎶

[@thepurpleladder]

Your dad is right "Prince" is very underrated on the guitar.

[@Meeshrick]

You never heard that solo at the end on the radio back in the day sadly. It always faded out before that.

[@Downstreamphoto]

That video that Larry was talking about would be great to check out. It was As My Guitar Gently Weeps with Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Steve Windwood and Dhani Harrison (George Harrison of the Beatles son). I believe that was at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony for George Harrison.

[@ischmidt]

I haven't heard this full album version in a while, and it has a lot of cool moments that the radio edit is missing. Prince was great at everything. Guitar, keyboards, programming new synth sounds, songwriting, production, he did it all. Even his songs that weren't hits on his own records were sometimes huge for other artists, like when the legendary Chaka Khan covered his song "I Feel For You" (with Stevie Wonder on harmonica, of all things).

[@mharrislove]

You guys should watch the full Prince Super Bowl performance together as your intro to his definitive live shows

[@BeeCuzz6357]

Please do a deep dive into Prince

[@ezeee595]

The guitar solo on this song is enough in itself to warrant buying the album.

[@CJSteffen1290]

He was an amazing guitar player.

[@TomTom-ui9hg]

What Pop's is talking about is when played "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" with Prince, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Steve Winwood. He did show his ability. Peace!

[@danielcowan8673]

When this song came out it paved the way for the future sound of popular music. There's no bass in the song. Prince popped it out at the last minute. Prince did make Rolling Stone top 100 guitarists in around 2005. I think they put him in about number 23, mainly as a result of the My Guitar Gently Weeps performance. They always overlooked him before that.

[@blacklionSM]

Thank you reacting to the FULL version. Can never go half way when reacting to such a treasured song!

[@ScottLaVine-br8wt]

Forget your list. Prince is greater than them all.

[@ryant7865]

My #1 favorite song from Prince. I have this song on my apple music playlist and I have a Prince compilation cd also.

[@gailwebster6653]

What a song! He played all his on intruments.Genius all the new shit coming through could'nt lace his boots.

[@amontaineaurore4700]

It was the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for George Harrison. The song is: While My Guitar Gently Weeps

[@debbieburris9453]

Love this 💜 HUGE Prince fan here, "The Beautiful Ones" was my fave off this brilliant soundtrack! & as you & others mention, the 2004 RRHOF ceremony featured, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" showcasing his incredible guitar work (no wonder Eric Clapton said he was the BEST guitarist) & features Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Dhani Harrison, & other musical geniuses. & he played multiple instruments perfectly. Prince is worth a deep-dive into his musical legacy. Ty again for this 💜🎶

[@PowderedToastMan420]

Your DAD is referring to this. Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne and others perform "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" at the 2004 Hall of Fame Inductions. PRINCE plays a bad_ss guitar solo. 🤞✌

[@PowderedToastMan420]

Rolling Stone magazine list PRINCE as the 33rd BEST GUITARIST!!! ✌

[@rodb9275]

My Guitar Gently Weeps is the performance you were trying to think of.

[@harriettholmes539]

Please more Prince reactions. Prince played 27 instruments. Prince also played the bass guitar. Prince may have been the greatest guitarist of the post-Hendrix era.

[@WhitneyHouston4eva1]

This was Prince at his best imo. His guitar playing on the tracks on this album are amazing. They never played the full version of this on the radio then or even now.

[@generoberts9151]

Yeah I was going to say either the radio cut it off or this is an extended edition

[@PowderedToastMan420]

Back in my high school days, when you were at a boring PARTY, you'd drop this LP on the turntable and the party would start ROCKING!!!!! ✌

[@tervatori]

I heard of him 1st time in 1979 when I was in NYC, he blew my mind and next year I bought Dirty Mind album and my life was never same again. I saw him live 8 times. There will be no other like him, ever again.

[@tapanim6576]

Great song. 👍

[@markferrett700]

Prince,was quoted as saying one of the biggest influences on him was Bill Nelson and his band Be Bop Deluxe....check out "Crying to the Sky" by Be Bop Deluxe to hear where "Purple Rain" was born......you'll be amazed,..or the title track from " Axe Victim".......Prince had good taste.

[@adamhamlin511]

Good 👍👍👍👍 for playing the long version of this classic.. Fyi....there was no they involve with this song production..Prince did it all solo

[@raisa_cherry35]

Indeed this song is fire 💜💜💜👏

[@stevegrey6022]

Congratulations on getting the video unblocked! Prince was an under rated guitarist by the public but other players knew how good he really was. The tribute to George Harrison is the famous one - While My Guitar Gently Weeps with Dhani Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Steve Winwood. Apparently he wouldn't rehearse with them and wouldn't say what he was going to do but he just walks out and absolutely blows everyone away!

[@fatherandsonreactions]

Thanks Steve! Wow that sound amazing. That’s definitely something I gotta see -Ethan

[@raycewilliams3300]

The concert you (father) may have been thinking about could have been the 2004 Tribute To George Harrison with Steve Winwood, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne. Prince literally "stole the show" with his guitar skills. He was an extremely talented guitar player to say the least.

[@adammclennan2627]

Dad shuts it down. Good to see the son has more sense.

[@tracyface69]

I’m so glad the youngster enjoyed this P track! He’ll probably like a lot more… Dad never got Prince really, but that’s okay. Prince was Rock and Roll Royalty. He was great at EVERYTHING! Singer, song writing, guitar, bass, piano… etc.

[@fatherandsonreactions]

Not that he never got him, but he never had an album so he didn’t know a lot by him except for radio hits -Ethan

[@kevineden4028]

​@fatherandsonreactions You should check out songs like, Adore, Joy in repetition and computer blue . I wish more young people would get to know his musical genius. He was music. You guys are great. Peace and be wild.

[@hackapump]

How he created such a devastating groove with just an 80s drum machine and lead vocals on top remains one of the great wonders. If you can do that, it’s easily understood why you would prefer the machine over a real drummer. In terms of programming drums, the guy is unsurpassed. Check out Alphabet Street for another (programmed) killer groove. It makes sense though, the guy always was the best musician in the room, regardless of what instrument he was playing.

[@cherylreichardt]

Hello there! I always found Prince to be pretty good! He has some good dance hits like 1999. This was from his movie Purple Rain, the soundtrack good. Really great to see you. Sorry about the difficulties you've been having! RIP Prince 💜

[@66edoug]

Hi Cheryl! he's very talented but he was different. He made a lot of music that he decided he wasn't going to release.

[@cherylreichardt]

@@66edoug He was a spiritual man too! He changed his wild ways to serve God!

[@66edoug]

@@cherylreichardt Yes, he did. That was quite a change.

[@cherylreichardt]

@@66edoug I just feel bad he was in so much physical pain that he had to deal with it himself. He couldn't stand it anymore and doctors were not helping him properly. Sad. 😞

[@66edoug]

@@cherylreichardt That is terrible. You're supposed to trust them. It's someone's life, they have to find a way to help that person.

[@yearn1]

Prince and the guitar are one. The white guitar in Purple Rain was just as famous as Prince. The movie would not have been the same without it. When I listen to a Prince record, I expect a guitar solo. If no guitar solo, I'm kind of disappointed.

[@robincarlysle-vo7pi]

I wish Prince had written an extended departure type bridge for this song. both Sting and Lionel.Ritchie did an off the wall beidge each on oneof their tunes, can't remember the titles but Prince obviously wanted it just this way .

[@PowderedToastMan420]

PRINCE is a BAD_SS guitarist. He's also not to shabby on the BASS GUITAR!!! ✌

If you want your son to see just how good Prince is on the guitar show him the KZbin video: 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps ft.Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Steve Winwood, Prince, and others. It's Awesome. Prince's solo is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯

[@MelonMcGee]

1) Skimming around on this channel, and the son here is much more open-minded than the dad. He's open to listening to and liking any decade. Dad is stuck in 70's-80's. Very resistant to new. C'mon dad. There's very good music after the 80's. 2) The video you're talking about was a tribute to George Harrison. While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Rock royalty completely eclipsed by Price. 3) Vast majority of the music you review is male. Lots of good female artists. 4) Nice seeing how you respect and seem to enjoy each other's company. It's what's charming about your channel. That's all.🎶

[@Lovejazz01]

Funny you should say that, he died in 2016, and since the 89’s they never had Prince on the list if the legendary guitarist, they never put him on the list until only the decade before he died …

[@kaula300]

Rolling Stone Magazine back in 2004 or 2005 did a 100 greatest guitarists of all time and guess who they left off the list, you guessed it Prince was left off of the 100 greatest guitarists list of all time. That was a travesty, and the video you're talking about is While my guitar gently weeps with Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and Prince at the Rock N' Roll Hall Of Fame ceremony. And on that stage is the reason why Prince went off the way he did playing his guitar because because Rolling Stone Magazine left him off of their list.

[@robertomangegali1748]

Genius

Give a listen to the magical day that Prince and Tom Petty performed on stage together. You’ll be blown away. While My Guitar Gently Weeps from the rock and roll hall of fame induction ceremonies.

Michael Jackson was the greatest entertainer this world has ever known, but Prince was the greatest singer, musician, writer, composer, arranger and producer the world has ever known. I suggest y'all go down that rabbit hole of Prince's music I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Prince has never been for me by any standard of measure. Sorry I can't hit the like button. All I will say is that a few years ago I purchased a Mike Oldfield CD but when I put it in the machine it turned out to be Prince. 🤢 It went straight back.

[@tracynorman1455]

@Steve not sure you will see this, but can you tell me the genre of music you like? I think if you heard a Prince song that was that genre (he did most of them) that you might like it. Even if you don’t like Prince you could agree that he is very talented. My husband doesn’t care for Prince very much but I drug him to two concerts and he said they were the best he’s seen.

[@stevejones1682]

@@tracynorman1455 I have a very broad taste in music - from classical to hard rock. But that doesn't mean I like everything classical and everything hard rock. I also like some pop. There are few artists I really can't take but Prince , Bob Dylan and the Bee Gees make me cringe. Yet it is fair to say other artists have covered some of their work superbly - Bob Dylan's particularly. The best concert for me stood for many years - Emerson Lake and Palmer back in 1974. That has now been upstaged by Nightwish. It would be unfair if I were to state Prince's music is rubbish because that would be to insult those who think otherwise. He just isn't for me.
