Prince... Dead at the age of 57...

From what I understand he was a multi-instrumentalist, having played every instrument on an album or two
Bowie hurt, but at least he was older than me.

I think the total was around 24.
Penned something around a dozen MTV era "standards". Some sweet, some raw, some inventive as hell.
I about wore out "Kiss" when I bought the LP... it's simplicity just grabbed me by the ears...

Rumor has it his death was aids related
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -
This is what it sounds like when doves cry.
I actually didn't think he was that old. I thought more like 47.

Aids does not cause sudden death like that. People that have untreated Aids go through months/years of deterioration.
If this wasn't a heart attack...or a brain aneurism or something, it was an overdose.

It wasn't sudden. He's been battling 'the flu' for weeks.
-
I'd be more surprised if it were an overdose. He surely didn't seem like a heroin guy.

Except I had heard that he had suffered some type of hip or leg injury...and he was treating it with opiate pain killers, and those may have gotten ahold of him and did him in. Autopsy being done today I believe.

Don't have to be rich to be my girl.
Don't have to be cool to rule my world.
Seriously, everyone I grew up with is starting to die. Whats worse, I don't see the next generation of talent behind these greats.
If they're somewhere to be found, its buried a mile deep under the trash that has become mainstream music.

Prince was a gifted musician that worked hard at his goals. He thot outside of the box but stayed true to his styles. Remember when it was "do you like Michael Jackson or Prince?" too bad they're both gone now.
When Prince changed his name to a symbol is when I lost interest of him. Although I didn't care for the shape of the guitar at that time the Floyd Rose full mount system was awesome on it.

I like them Kaylaher made a good one as well. When I wasa kid I bought a Kramer with a FR. The guy at the music store had me scared to death to change my strings, turns out I could do it myself just fine. As I got older I didn't care so much about tremolo systems; just an expensive phase I guess.I hate Floyd Rose systems.. Leo Fender got it right the first time.. its all about setup man.
