I've no doubt that he occasionally busts a move ... The guy had major hip and knee problems ... There are lots of shows surfacing on youtube .. U can check out what he used to do in comparison... He also used to play more full songs ... Recently it is more like 27 30 second snippets of songs in a medley with maybe 10 full songs over. 3 hour set ... More of a "remember this song?" Audience cheers ... Than a full airing of any particular song ... A habit that did not do the actual music justice ...

Imagine if perry sang the opening verse of "i would 4 u" then seagued into a horn based chorus of been caught stealing ... Then seagued into just the guitar solo for three days ... Then gave us a full 20 minute jam on superhero while perry yelled get ur hands up over and over

Then u might have a better understanding of why i say prince frontman antics detract from the music

still taking og perry over any frontman in my life (aside from maybe black francis)

it's all tastes
Really?

Isn't Black Francis a horrible frontman?

I saw the Pixies live once. Boring experience
it's all tastes...i think salt is better....salts sucks pepper is better...pepper is gross...they both suck....i love them both...no wrongs or rights :noclue:
Yeah sure, obviously.

Just saying I wouldn't think about Frank Black when thinking about greatest front men in the world.

I like the Pixies thought.
I saw them just over a year ago, and it was a great show. Tons of energy. It was the fans who sucked. I was in the pit and it was all Milhouse and Kirk van Houtens. :no: Maybe that's because it was WIsconsin though... Also I was drunk...

Did anyone ever see Primus live? Les Claypool should be entertaining. Just heard "My Name is Mud" on local Tampa radio and had forgotten how unique. Might be an acquired taste, but bass is incredible.

Exactly!
And he plays tons of "medleys" because he has such a vast catalogue of music to choose from, he can. He knows everyone wants to heat "the hits" but he wants to play what he wants to play. He also loved to play covers, like at cochella he played Radiohead's creep and at the Superbowl he played the Foo's Best of you.
Even at 57 (same age as Perry) Prince would play 3 to 3 1\2 hour sets. Where as Perry limps through 90 minutes of the same set we've heard 10000 times.

I saw them support Jane's in 1991 I thought they were awesome (and weird)

Perry still wins. Weiland OD'd on a washed up burnout tour in his late 40's. Perry survived Satellite Party 2.0 when teenagers replaced Nuno and it was an awful, best of show that was hardly attended. For that alone Perry wins.

Totally agree. Haven't seen Primus live since maybe 98 but every time was great, even the 1 show with Brain on drums.

This is what he played last time I saw him (and keep in mind this was in La Zona Rosa (holds <1300 people and less were allowed in as it was a SXSW event) also in a sad twist of fate that was the last time I saw A Tribe Called Quest as they opened the show. RIP both Prince and Phife.

I always thought Prince & Page woulda been fun to see together.. :cool: ..I loved Prince's funk "Sly Stone" trip...But my favorite Prince was when he went full on psychedelic acid rock on guitar!!!!...He shredded ...As far as comparing Scott to Perry...Scott lifted a lot of Perry'z act and moves....We are all influenced by people...I remember reading STP did photo shoots with Nothing's Shocking blaring in the background ...so that vibe snuck in :heart:

I saw em on this tour.

I was never a big Prince fan, but I was totally blown away by his performance.

Only then I noticed he could really do everything, he could rock out, funk out, play some psychedelic shit then go on and sing some ballads and bring out some hits in the meantime.
There will never be another like him. He synthesized such an incredible array of Ameican and Anglo influences, was steeped in Midwestern funk (Ohio Players were legit, man), understood the true revelations of the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, shredded the fucking guitar, howled like an animal in heat and crooned like a more passionate Minnie Riperton. Oh, and he played all of the instruments and produced/composed/performed/engineered his first few records and continued to produce the rest even when he started having other musicians contribute.

Prince was on an entirely different level than either perry or scott... its downright unfair to even mention him in the context of these two frontmen. he was a superhuman genius, one in a million


still, scott destroyed perry output-wise over the last 15 years.


this is what the guy was recording immediately before his drug death:

Yeah but he was also recording this:



I'm a fan, but Scott hasn't put out anything worth multiple listens since Shangri-La Dee Da.
