FloorFiller Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 11 minutes ago, donshakey said: Is this a reality? nope. it's something Giddings hope to have happen but he said in the interview that he struggles to get in contact with Prince to actually sort it out, so i doubt it'll be happening this year. a weird idea anyway - you'd assume for it to happen they'd get Prince as a headliner performing a proper set and then have him unbilled/lower down doing the Hendrix set, as people going to see Prince will want to hear Prince songs unless of course Prince is actually IOW's third headliner and he was just being coy about it - would explain the mystery behind who it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatyeti24 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 "Dear Prince, you're good. Very good. But you're no Hendrix, so come to the site of one of his famous gigs and play his songs. Just because." The little purple one is probably still laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 He's a better singer than Hendrix. And, on a good day, a better songwriter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Hmm. ..add Crosstown Traffic to those three, and that's about yer lot. Actually gave Electric Ladyland a spin the other day for the first time in years, and I just wasn't feeling it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicklord Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 6 hours ago, tonyblair said: or the ability to play like Jimi this sounds like a non story. Giddings has suggested it, but Prince hasn't followed it up! Prince has never played a Hendrix song in his life (to my knowledge), hopefully because he knows it would be a daft thing to do. He did some of them recently (last 6-7 years) Little Wing, Foxy Lady, Spanish Castle Magic and maybe some more but I can't remember now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince does Hendrix because Prince is bad heavy metal but Jimi isn't....? I took it as Prince is just doing shite heavy metal now so may as well do a set of Hendrix covers as it'll be better than his own current stuff.

He might be a great guitarist, but when he does metal he does it badly. It doesn't matter a fuck who he's trying to imitate. As he only does bad it'll be bad. FFS.

It's just a phrase. If it offends you, just read it as shit guitarists play the guitar shit. Prince may or may not play the guitar well when he does his own stuff. When he thinks he's a guitar hero, it's laughable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Prince plays his own stuff as in the standard way he may or may not be a good guitarist. When he pretends to be a guitar hero it's laughable. Better for your tiny mind? Or is everyone obliged to agree with you, because any version of anything different to what you say cannot be true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't give a fuck what you think. You've already, on many occasions, told everyone how wrong they for thinking hes any good And my opinion is 100% equal to yours. I thank you.
