Request Line: You Have Selected Regicide…

Originally this was going to be hosted by Prince Amakamura, but given the news regarding Prince the musician I’m not exactly in the mood to make jokes (except for the title, of course, which I’m not changing). So let’s keep this one simple and post some our favorite music about royalty – and don’t be shy about posting songs by the one and only Prince himself.  Rest In Peace, your majesty.

Yes it’s lip synched.
Yes they were pre-moistened.

But goddamn this is a great video.

That’s what a rock band should look like.

One of the single most bad ass bass riffs ever.

Sleepless.

Well if we’re going full regicide then we have to have this.

Ritchie fucking Blackmore.

Nice.
And sorry….pardon my shitty quick review of what’s been posted. In my defense I’m drunk, a little sunburned, and kinda watching young girls in bikini’s. Well, they were….now they’re in shorts and t-shirts. Matters not to me.

My point is….I am more distracted than usual.

ALXMAC

No problem brother!! In fact I was excited that we posted the same song. Have a happy vaca and remember that she’s not too young if she tells you so.

I’ve found the same to be true with Jimi:

ALXMAC

It was my 1st favorite Hendrix song; it’s still top 5 but might be behind “Little Wing” and “May This Be Love”. Yes, I 1st heard Waterfalls on the “Singles” soundtrack, but even my mom likes it (so it passes the mom test).

This isn’t John Stainers most complex song on the drums, but it’s damn good regardless.

Side note: Crisis King was almost my screen name way back in the day. I’m happy that I found something much better though.

Fucking love it. I did an embed of this under one of Rikki’s earlier songs.
Killer performance of it too.

Duchess

wow its like 12 mins apart too sorry for the double post didnt see what was going on on the other page of comments

laserguru

No worries. I’ve always loved the song.

laserguru

Great minds and all.

Duchess

So with all the talk about how at times Prince would write songs for other artists and give it to them on the condition they tell know one… I wouldn’t be surprised if it soon came out he wrote some Country songs.

laserguru

With great age comes great experience.
In other words, I’m old as fuck.

Duchess

Don’t have to be old to enjoy this one

Duchess

If you look at the list we have lost more 80’s pop stars than 70’s

Duchess

I don’t know why people don’t give Princes Batman album its due…

This is a classic

nomonkeyfun

Someone please keep an eye on Kid Rock. We can’t lose another geniu…

I can’t even finish the joke.

Beerguyrob

No no, please – continue. It’s good to focus your energies at a time of loss.
