Could always ask that Sheena Easton how great he was.

Sounds like it was too factually accurate for Netflix.

 

They prefer their documentaries to be works of fiction, like the one starring Harry and Meghan.

And the re-imagining of the Menendez Brothers childhoods which I believe might be leading to a re-trial

I doubt a half time show for a sporting event proves that a musician is actually great. That's where acts like Beyonce and suchlike appear.

Yeah, like those nobodies The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney and the Who, etc et .... of course playing there doesn't prove they are great, especially the early years when horrendous "Up with people" milk toast acts were there.... Prince IMO is the best guitarist since Hendrix

Sad.  I was a fan.  Still am.  Amazing musician. Would love to see a supportive documentary highlighting his work and contribution to music.
RIP.

 

So would I.  But not 8 hours of it.

 

This thread got me thinking about all his hits that I can recall.  There's some good stuff back there.  Though I wasn't a fan of his theatrics, his music was great.  And even his theatrics were tame compared to what's followed.

Went right over your head, didn't it!

 

Santana is the best guitarist ever. IMO.

Hendrix, LOL.

 

Lady Gaga- you can't be serious, surely?

 

Paul McCartney made some nice tunes, but without the Beatles he was just another musician that had some success. The world isn't short of them.
