Is this another thread where old people complain about not hearing old people music on top 40 radio and that anything good is "hard to find?" Yep it is.

Glad you posted this. Wings of Desire and Rick Beato are my go-to music analysis and reaction channels.

The single greatest Super Bowl halftime show ever, and it’s not even close. Frankly, they should have retired even having a halftime show after that. Gone out on a high note.

And now that I think about it, I don’t know of a single musical act today who can come close to the likes of Prince when it comes to both pure musical talent and performance.

Rick Beato is a phenomenal guitar player and analyst.

That's who I was watching first last night. Beato talking to Dweezil about EVH when I saw the A-Ha video from The Charismatic Voice.

just how good of a musician Prince actually was


Watch the RRHF George Harrison deal when Prince showed they made an error by leaving him off the top guitarist list.

Agreed.

And for the few doubters or uninformed, the solo showcases Prince’s talent and showmanship perfectly.

Prince




To quote the great Dalton from Roadhouse, "opinions vary". The phrase "your favorite artist's favorite artist" encompasses Prince. On top of his genius musical talents, he was also one of the loudest voices exposing the music industry's contractual racket. And he'd bust your arse on the basketball court at 5'6, in heels to boot.

Hate to break it to you but it's been done that way since forever. The only difference is people were limited to radio and TV, so what they gave the public was pretty much all he public could get. You think Nirvana got on MTV and the radio by themselves? Music executives though they would sell records ad concert tickets, so they pushed them on the public.

He could play a bunch of instruments and I believe he played every one used in the recording of his debut album.
did you ever go to a Hank Jr concert? He purposely would play every instrument during the concert to show off his talent.

She has a cool channel. I've watched a lot of her videos and she's very good at what she does.

I love watching reaction videos and she’s my favorites
She knows so much so sometimes her videos are a little too long. Her genuine facial expressions do it for me.

She’s a smoke show. Early on I watched her and she said one time she’s big into Cos play and always dressing up around the house. Damn


It’s very evident that she’s got a touch of freak in her.
