Let others have their own memory of the man, it's not a competition and your values haven't been disrupted because others think highly of Prince's guitar playing.

Says the guy who compares him to Hendrix. Next week you'll be claiming he rose from the grave.

There's no reason to get this way about it. This is an in memororiam thread for Prince. I and many others can see a comparison be him and Hendrix. I happen to think that in some ways he is a more accomplished guitarist than Hendrix. Get over the fact some gfy guitarist named dyna mo feels that way. My view truly has nothing to do with you.
Just too bad. Prince was one of the few talents remaining in the industry.
It's amazing what he created beyond the music too. Genius.
If you get a chance listen to his song: "And God Created Woman"

A few important vids to show yall before they get taken down.
In 1985, there was not a bigger star than Prince. He was the biggest celebrity on earth. He was THE SHIT. And mysterious.
With the internet, celebrities today are over-exposed. But back then, you may hear him say a few words on an awards show like the AMAs. And that was just about all you got. I don't think he ever did many interviews.
His odd demeanor and soft-spokenness in this first video just added to the mystique. I think he was very overwhelmed at, and uncomfortable with the pedestal of fame he's been put on.
Same show, killing it with Purple Rain. No pre-recorded backing track, no lip syncing. Epic.
And then the Grammys, same year. EVERYONE was waiting for Prince to show up and do a song. But there was rumors that he had such a hectic concert schedule he probably couldn't make it.
So when he did show up, everybody was like YESSS! He does "Baby I'm a Star" and just floored everyone. You'll never see the likes of this again.
My GF, who wasn't even born then, seems jealous of all the attention I've been giving Prince lately. I'm still sad about his death. A part of my childhood and a part of my heart died with him. RIP Prince.

Some great videos MFCT
Btw. here's another Prince's song that was live on that American Music Awards evening - "When you were mine" by Cyndi Lauper - a fantastic performance.
