    This is awesome andPrince just smashes it out of the oark and the legends here cant believe what Prince is doing. Tom Petty is really peed off but Prince shows them how to play and poor Old Andy Fairweather Low thinks he has been playing all his life and cant make his guitar sound like Prince’s

    This SRV version of Little Wing is banging and when you watch Stevies fingers and hands on the strings and frets and the sound he gets, wow. Was he the best?

    Brilliant how can we forget about Jeff. Played a lot of his stuff over the years and his version of Wishing Well sticks with me. Cant remember how he died but pre 2010 I think :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Anyone remember Steve Clark from Def Leppard Who actually died of Rock and Roll - booze/drugs. A top player but so long ago back in the early 90s

    Seen him a few times, after first seeing him on the James Whale Show. Managed to get ticket nos 1 & 2 for Leeds Town & Country Club before they had been advertised (pre-internet days gave me a little advantage - his Glasgow concert had been advertised in the Scottish Sunday Mail, so I chanced my arm on the Monday morning. The staff had to go looking for the tix as they hadn't been told).

    Died of a recurrence of the eye cancer that took his eyesight as a child.

    Olof has already showed us the brilliant While my guitar gently weeps with the Prince solo. Heres another not many will have seen as Prince didnt do many covers but when he did, wow. This Radiohead cover had the band trying to keep it on YouTube for years, they loved it but the solo at the end is just ..

    Promise not to drop in any more Prince but this is the last time I saw him, when he put together the all girl band 3rd Eye Girl and toured the UK. The best concert I have ever seen and it was just a rock playing fest. This track brings back memories but when he puts his guitar on wow
