I hate Floyd Rose systems.. Leo Fender got it right the first time.. its all about setup man.

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.]]>https://brownsboard.com/post/598406https://brownsboard.com/post/598406Sat, 23 Apr 2016 02:30:13 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Prince...

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.

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.

Well said Tia, "Maybe they just like their mother. They never satisfied." RIP Prince..

You have to respect the body of work that is evident. Prince kicked ass. He definitly had his own sound RIP.

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.

google it. It's all over the place

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.

@chicopee-john said:

From what I understand he was a multi-instrumentalist, having played every instrument on an album or two

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...

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.

Prince was possibly one of the most underrated guitar players of all time. He could flat out play.

He absolutely shreds on this.
