I heard a version of that story long before Prince died. I don't think the version I heard is true either. When asked what it was like to be the best guitar player in the world. Jimi Hendrix replies "I don't know. Ask Phil Keaggy."

PRINCE all the way 🕊💜

Why was Prince underrated ? For the same reason most blues players from the 50sand 60s, were disrespected, Hendrix was disrespected, Michael Jackson was disrespected.

Hey Ant LOVE ❤️ your channel and I've watched most of your vids including this one many times over you know when you get into that Prince mode and you just can't stop for hours Days weeks ect. Anyways I've been meaning to ask you for ages I might have already done so even years ago, my memory isn't what it was hehe .so Mt Q is when did you go to your first Prince concert and which one was it. Oh the one you did which I soo so bad wanted to do was go to one of his after show gigs especially a certain one anyways Regards from jez .U.K. O)]÷> ...

Trivia! 0:48 that image in the red jacket... what song is he doing? (or at least what song was recoded twice at that same show, and they used the other one)?

I believe he was low every list as that’s where the industry and guitar community wanted to keep him. He was peerless talent wise, had the technical dexterity a “pop” star isn’t supposed to have. Jealousy is ugly

One word Hands down ..... Hands down....Just hands down ......All i can say is ...... GREATNESS ...JUST GOAT....This man was writing and also playing the instruments on his 2 group's The Time and Vanity 6 ALBUMS..........He was doing .....All of thiz n his twenties......Plus prince is the first black male artist 2 build his EMPIRE... PASILEY PARK RECORDS/HOME...Now that's Standing on Business.....His infamous color ..... PURPLE IS A MAJOR COLOR 2 WEAR ..... LEGENDS LIVES 4 EVER

His guitar abilities... it’s 10 % of his talents.... who else ?

You sir have done him justice. Everyone loves to hail his peer who's name I won't mention who often lip synched with backing tracks because his live vocals couldn't match his stufio recordings.

we still mis him. But the music keeps us alive. Live4Love.

Simply….the BEST!

He was a sloppy pentatonic player whose eighties contemporaries could play circles around for days

We love Prince. Problem is that he wa most accomplished musician of all. All those guitarists focused only on one instrument but he did all of them and that’s people missed his greatness If not other no one could play so many instruments so good as one and the only!

Only the usual Rock axe man reached high on these lists when you were mine, probably my favourite earlier track's, lucky to see him at Wembley arena for parade tour, seen many other artists since, all pale to that july night to many years ago.

Prince has been underrated so long he's now really overrated. He's excellent but he didn't change the way the instrument is played like Hendrix, SRV, or EVH or Page (or others). He shined most as a song writer and performer. Guitar came second.

Prince is definitely not underrated as a guitarist the title is totally wrong

I’ve just looked up the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Okay, there are some truly great songwriters in there but also some others that are just good and have had success but are nowhere near as great as Prince. Does anybody really believe that all four members of Kool & The Gang are better or more important than Prince? 😮 I suspect this is quite a conservative institution and they have resisted honouring Prince because of his controversial side. A similar thing happened with Jerry Lee Lewis and the Country Music Hall of Fame, corrected after a long campaign shortly before his death.

He would have been 66 next month.

A true poet! Great episode, looking forward to part 2, thanx!

Great vid Mr Ants,the editing is so professional,must have took ages,many thanks.

I absolutely agree in all of this!

I really enjoyed this video. Can't wait for next time.💜

I’ve been thinking about this a lot myself… I often think how he will have impacted the world so powerfully had he still been here

2:18 Thanks so much for the shout-out! It's very appreciated.

Love your Documental and work... Thank u so much Mr. Ant💯💯❤❤❤💜💜

Brilliant video, absolutely 💯 amazing.....Prince never got the credit he deserved as a 🎵 songwriter through out his career u really nailed it with Sign O The Times it is one of the greatest songs of all time, and my favorite song from that album is The Ballad of Dorothy Parker the lyrics are amazing, Starfish and Coffee is an amazing song that tells the story of Cynthia 🌹 Rose a song that is still heavy in my rotation.....Gold is my mom favorite song R.I.P. 👩 mom.. .once again an excellent job with this video truly amazing can't wait 4 the next part.

I love his lyrics and his play on words. He was a musical genis. I love The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker too. Thank you for a great video

'bout time we talked about Prince's deft and unique lyrical abilities...so good.

Another fabulous video Mr Ant. Prince was a story teller, teacher and poet. Still upsets me that he’s not in the Songwriters Hall of Fame! It just makes a mockery of the whole institution! Prince is one of the best songwriters of all time 💜

Glad your on the mend Mr Ants,the news on the Hellevision is so negative,need some Mr Ants vids to cheer us up😀I need to pull my finger out and do a new vid,will do an unboxing very soon,keep well👍

Nice to see your perseverance in doing these videos, Mr. Ant…keep it up….personally I’m sick of these Purple Rain re-issues….I’d rather see a Come/Gold Experience Deluxe album….or better yet., an Exodus Deluxe with remastered Paisley Park 94 boots where he’s motherfucking Warner Brothers and not giving a shit about what sales….it’ll never happen, but one cans dream!!! Keep it up, brother.

Underrated album because of all the Batmania and commercial success. Batdance is a masterpiece and only Prince could put out that kind of song and be a number 1 hit that year

The concert at First Ave. where Wendy was first introduced and the basic tracks for the Purple Rain Album where recorded live would be a perfect concert for a super deluxe release.

Great seeing you! Hope you and your family are well.

Glad to see you are here. Yes I agree the scene has died off and its not for bad reasons. Like you I had to deal with my partners sickness from late 2021 to his eventual death in March 2023 and then a year of fighting lawyers, estates, grabby family members, homophobia and ending selling the home and moving to a new city. I managed to whip out a few coin videos in Sep last year, but otherwise have been quite. A comeback Prince video was another flop with mid 2 figure viewership. My coins are catching on though. I am still very much into Prince and went to a sound alike act led by a guy called Dale Ray who is south African, he is very good and does all the music well, I think he is white or possibly coloured in their parlance (Some African blood) and looks a bit like Prince with the right make up, he has symbol and cloud guitars too. Speaking of those guitars, Prince must have had more than 4 as I can remember at least 5 he played in various eras, but if like you say the Black guitar (Black 1990) was originally Peach (1987) then that may explain something. I remember the story too of Prince smashing his white cloud guitar at Yokohoma in 1986 as a way of symbolically disowning the Revolution or something (And then retreating into the studio for months to finish off SOTT). Glad to hear from you.

Nice hearing from you. Thanking for dropping in. You are missed. 🫶🏽💜🙏🏽

Glad to hear from you and glad you're feeling better. Sending Purple love and healing your way.

I’m looking forward to the PR release, especially with so much crappy war affecting so many innocent people😰💜💜☮️🙏

Really nice to see you Mr Ants💜Sorry to hear you’ve not been well, I hope your life becomes less hectic soon😊 My dear brother tragically and suddenly passed away in March this year💔and I’ve just recently started listening to Prince again. Take Care and see you soon

How about a Mr Ant/Nightchild/anyone else 'Purple Pint Nite': a meet up for a drink/beer/soft(and wet) drinks available ;-)

Hey Mr Ant, good to hear from you 🙂

It's good to see you! "Oh, it's good to be seen!" Really love to hear you just talking about all that's happening. We'll always be here with U 💜 Love it when you talk about the world and the Positivity that Prince brings.

Love your channel and your appreciation of our purple one!

No thanks

Beautiful

Love the Covers you did! What song is the last one?

"lovesexy live"(1988), "The undertaker"(1995) and "The sacrifice of victor live"(1995), vhs and laserdisc, were only released in Europe and Japan!!!😢

If it were possible, Prince would be likened to a single baseball player covering every position, on offense or defense, including pitcher and back catcher. Most of these other guitarist just played guitar, now imagine if Prince only played guitar (thank God this wasn’t the case) he would have kicked the shyt out of all these other guitarists azzez even worse than he did! We miss the King of rock, Prince!
