They once asked Clapton what it feels like to be the best guitarist alive. "I don't know. Ask Prince."
I was never a massive fan of Prince's music - I was a bit of a music snob and always felt it was a bit too commercial. In university one of my flatmates was a big guitar player - he was into zeppelin, metallica, etc. I remember one night listening to him play and asking him who he thought the best guitar player was. I was shocked when he answered Prince. At the time I just didn't he even played his own instruments.
Fast forward 15 years later (last year) when he was playing his surprise gigs around London and I luckily get tickets for one of his Roundhouse shows. I was utterly blown away. It is an amazing experience when you see someone that gifted doing what they were born to do. I've seen pretty much everyone live and I put him at the top in terms of live performers. That man was blessed and those that got to experience him in person were even more blessed.
Bowie and Prince in one year...2016 has been cruel...
