Prince Lay it Down

[@PURPLE.REIGN.1999]

1:11 From the heart of Minnesota, here come the purple Yoda.

[@ThePurpleYoda3121]

the OG is but i'm from Liverpool

[@sonyabeck5014]

They call me purple Yoda but not from Minnesota 😂

[@peterfedun-sk3jt]

I love Prince’s music, but his guitar solos are what I beg for.

[@peterfedun-sk3jt]

Yup.

[@p6x2]

As a bedroom guitar player myself, I am always fascinated by his ability in soloing. His command on the instrument is simply out of this world. Whatever the music genre, he can fit in without breaking a sweat. I have seen him several times on stage, and he always improvised differently on the same themes. Plus, when he plays guitar, his entre body is in harmony with the play style. He is not just there strumming. His hands delicately and artistically moves with the notes. Unbelievable.

[@Tatted-ne7tu]

As a white teen in the metal scene back in this time. The Super Bowl performance cemented this man in my mind ever since. I just remember watching him in the rain, playing and singing his ass off. I’ve never respected a musician so much. Watching clips like this still makes me just adore the skill and finesse this man had. Writing, performing, producing. Total Package.

I totally forgot Michael Jackson or the 2024 super bowl show. I just remember Prince 2007.

[@evebaker5335]

Prince walking in so Badass!

[@RickyB464]

Growing up is realising that Prince is the greatest guitar 🎸 player of all time. He ain't wrong when he say he the Purple Yoda.

[@jamesgoines7663]

Can we get some funky sound? Prince: Hold my beer. There's too much funk in that little man! He brought the Minneapolis bounce bounce to LA. Those first guitar licks before he came on stage, let us know that something funky was about to happen. Thanks so much for sharing your life with us.

[@CrowBoy-p7f]

Yet another idiot making a "hold my beer" comment.

[@mafaldabrown5778]

It still hurts that he is not with us. I had cried that day like it was my own familly. I miss new music and him on tv talking about it.

[@pennyandrews3237]

He still has New music. Prince a man of the future looked out for us. So much music I hope to live long enough to hear every last note. The vault. Thank you Prince Rogers Nelson. Purple Majesty. Live on in our hearts.

[@technicolorrose5549]

@@pennyandrews3237 you know, I never thought about it that way....but maybe he knew that one day when he ever left this earth that plethora of his life's creation was going to be released to the world. He was a man of the future; you are so right! I've always loved him since I was a little girl...I remember being so small, not even 4 years old, laying inside a pillowcase on the floor with my headphones on, falling asleep listening to his TAPES. Yes, tapes people. I was the old school...lol. But after he died I got back into his work, not just music but his movies...and it's just a blessing that all this wonderful music and movies and TV appearances (that coincidentally people ALWAYS said, "he don't do interviews".…but he's got a lot of damn interviews and clips online of him being interviewed, and on talk shows and such ...)....all this is his gift to us. Tyka, his sister, said that about 2 years before he passed, he said to her that he felt like he'd done everything he came here to accomplish. She says ever since that statement, she knew, she knew he was ready to go. Listen to his song "Way Back Home". I find that very ironic. So many things about his music, so many lyrics...it's like he was one of those wonderful special people who was meant to be here for just a little while. He touched so many people during his time here and continues to do so.

[@tina8796]

yes, I miss the new music he could have created. he was always creating

[@ula6222]

I'm still crying...still listening, still watching KZbins fabulous collection of his music.😢

[@trickychristopher]

I love how he caresses his guitar, he is badass!

[@morrisdday3121]

Prince is IMMORTAL !!!

[@treehousesd]

Total badass. His entrance was insane. In the middle of the song as the two dancers ironically dressed as cops start to shove elbows as they dance by him and he shreds on the guitar is just killer. I had to watch that over and over again. One of a kind that's for sure. He is sorely missed!

[@CandyLUVSPrince]

right! insane intro!!!

[@technicolorrose5549]

Damn right!!! It wasn't just his music, it was his whole persona, that man lived music, he breathed music, as he said in an interview once....he WAS music. Lots of other musicians out there take their craft seriously...but this man.....music was his whole life. Artists go through what we call "creative blocks" (I'm not a musician, I'm a visual artist, but can't really call myself that anymore as I've had to put down my paintbrush, my pencils, etc due to having health stuff). I don't think this man ever had one. He created from the time he was young until his death. I guess I must be living in a hole though (I don't watch TV, news, read newspapers, etc)....because I didn't know John Blackwell had passed. They're up there on a purple cloud making music together 🕊️
