Why so bitchy, Marty? It's Friday afternoon.
Don't you have a milk bag to go squeeze or something?

That guy had the fukking Chuck Norris of cancer, Pancreatic. There was no lifesaving treatments.

Not so fast Suckaholic.

During a routine abdominal scan, doctors had discovered a tumor growing in his pancreas. While a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is often tantamount to a swiftly executed death sentence, a biopsy revealed that Jobs had a rare — and treatable — form of the disease. If the tumor were surgically removed, Jobs’ prognosis would be promising: The vast majority of those who underwent the operation survived at least ten years.

Interesting. I knew that his condition had been found very early, but just figured that it didn't matter much as PC is that bad a motherfukker. You would think that someone as bright as Jobs would know to follow his doctor's advice, but then again, this was Steve Jobs who was known as being a rebel, think out side of the box type, smarty pants type. In this case, it bit him in the ass. Actually, anatomically speaking, I guess it was a little higher than his ass.

Jobs basically won the Pancreatic cancer lottery and threw out the ticket. And he made shitty computers.

he did lots of covers like that putting his own spin on the song

here's one he did with Lenny Kravitz



prince solo starts at about 4:45

Another one to consider, the 2004 Hall of Fame inductions where Prince and an all star cast performs "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". Prince solo at 3:30.

Sorry, Miguel...Passover was a real beee-otch this year...what with freshly-divorced Uncle Saul going on and on endlessly about being so happy now that he's "back on the market"...
Give it a rest, Saul...fucking ponderous...

Sounds like uncle Saul might have shlonged Marty when he was a kid.

I was lucky enough to see Prince in concert here in Australia a few years ago and it was a religious experience
he held the whole arena in the Palm of his hand, accompanied by an amazing backup band and talented backing singers I admit it I cried when I heard he's died, I also bawled like a baby when Bowie died, both their music was the soundtracks to important moments in my life :cry:

Fun fact
When I was in high school I won a dance competition at a Blue light disco (disco's run by the local police for under 18's) to Prince's Lets Go Crazy, my epic air guitar solo at the end was the clincher

That was kinda cool. Woulda been a whole lot cooler if he could have gotten JPJ to sit in though. Whole lotta love is all about da' bass. (Save your pop song resets, asswhipes). The little honey he had plucking the bass, I am certain is a talented bassist, but you culd barely hear her.

Bonzo should ariseth from the grave and beat anybody who had anything to do with that monstrosity to a bloody pulp.

Considering that Bonzo loved funk music and spent a fair amount of his downtime listening to funk music, it is likely he would arise from the grave and beat you to a bloody pulp.

shaddup.

War Wagon wrote:shaddup.

One of the most frequently sampled rock beats in the history of hip hop. Like I said, Bonham loved funk music. He would have been a huge Prince fan had he not drank himself to death.

I would suggest that if Bonzo were to arise from the dead, he would promptly puke on his shoes, then fall flat on his face.

Pretty cool that Muddy Waters would cover a Zep tune.

Sudden Sam wrote:most of Zep's early recordings are all reworkings. I assume Wags knows that.

He's in serious denial. Let his therapists handle this.

I wouldn't pay a therapist even if I could afford one, which I can't. I spend enough on meds as is.

I'm quite aware of Zeps history and have changed my mind somewhat regarding covers. Some are quite good or even better than the originals. Prince cover of Whole Lotta' Love not being in that category.

Look, my initial point in this thread topic being what seemed to me excessive adulation and promotion of Prince. Too much over hype compared to the likes of Bowie and now he's being mentioned in the same breath as Zep. Give me a break.

I didn't and don't have anything against Prince, just not my genre nor cup of tea. I am totally indifferent to his music. If that deserves a pile on so be it.

Sudden Sam wrote:Therapist: Mr. Wagon, you posted 'When the Levee Breaks' as a retort to nail down your argument that Prince covering 'Whole Lotta Love' was sacriiege.

No, master Samwise, that was not my reasoning for using "When The Levee Breaks". The point of it being that it's easily in my Top 10 of LZ songs and also a thundering example of Bonzo beating the drum set into a "bloody pulp" the way I was alluding to the consequence of Princes' cover of "Whole Lotta' Love".

Of course you wouldn't, you're big tough Whitey. Dumb as a brick and proud of it.

War Wagon wrote: Look, my initial point in this thread topic being what seemed to me excessive adulation and promotion of Prince.

Go fuck yourself, you fucking hypocrite. You admitted as much you hated him because of his lifestyle. I'm sure he rested well knowing he was living in your dome rent free forever.

There must be much comfort in being so proudly ignorant and stupid because you take a lot of pride in it.

Screw_Michigan wrote:You admitted as much you hated him because of his lifestyle.

In no way did I infer hatred and am as indifferent to his " lifestyle" as his music.

Sheesh, you sure are a sensitive fag, always walking around with a chip on your shoulder. Get back to biting pillows rather than ankles.

Papa Willie wrote:In all honesty, I kind of doubt that Prince engaged in nearly as much debauchery as did LZ back in the day...

Good point. Wasn't page known for having an appetite for 14 year old groupies?

This cover is other worldly.

Papa Willie wrote:Honestly - it's a lot better than what he was doing on the Tom Petty/Jeff Lynne version of Gently Weeps. He was kind of - well - over-doing it in that one. You could tell Tom & Jeff were kind of like "It's okay, dude - just calm down a little bit..."

A matter of perception, perhaps?

Petty and Lynne seemed down with his jam and rather impressed, in my humble opinion.
Dhani Harrison was in flat out fucking awe.

Fortunately you aren't the arbiter of proper "adulation," otherwise we'd shut down the country to mourn the death of Molly Hatchet's drummer.

Never purported to be, just giving my opinion, which apparently gives you and others a woody. I didn't realize Prince had such a devoted groupie from the guy who introduced me to BTS.

Who else are you hiding in the closet, Boy George and/or George Michael?

PM Screw with your answer, assuming he doesn't already know.

You seem to be suggesting that Prince was gay. Little squirt pulled a lot of top shelf pussy, aside from that Sarandon hag.

Why don't you post another youtube video of a band that hasn't been relevant in 36 years. You're a tedious bore, completely inable of creative thought or curiosity.

Yep, exactly. Wags however will defend to the death David Bowie who, while having been with some fairly hot women, also enjoyed his fair share of penis.

Seriously Wags, with each post you bury yourself a little deeper. Might want to step back and evaluate your position. Nobody is asking you to like or dislike Prince, that's your prerogative, but get your facts in order first, get your musical appreciation skills more refined and just stop this. It's getting ugly for you.

Homosmack from the resident Bowie worshiper. That's rich.

I'm not a Prince fan. More indifferent than anything. But I'm not petty enough to get worked up over what is or is not the proper amount of adulation a dead rocker I didn't listen to should receive. You seem to think your personal tastes should dictate these things. Nice going, you self-important son of a bitch.

MgoBlue-LightSpecial wrote:Homosmack from the resident Bowie worshiper. That's rich.

Simply mentioning those two is homosmack? Rich, indeed, as well as saying I'm a Bowie "worshipper". This was my first drive-by post in this thread

The media are making it out like John Lennon and SRV just died in the same plane crash. Prince was ok but not even a pimple on David Bowies' ass.

I stand with that take whether you or anyone else approves of it. I post here not giving a shit what anyone else thinks. If people want to debate that tactic, all the better. A message board where everyone would agree on everything we be fairly boring, like .net on any given day. Or worse, another version of Facebook.

I didn't get worked up, not sure how you come by that conclusion. I'm not "self-important" much more or less than anybody else here who wants to express an unamabiguous opinion.

Mostly, I'm humble and self deprecating because as LZ (whom I do worship) said in Misty Mountain Hop

"Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see. And baby, baby, do you like it?"

More often than not, that answer is "no".
