Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for September 26, 2023

Some people have too much money, they could do good with that money

Mike Oldfield had Prince beat. He played 28 instruments on his debut album (Tubular Bells).

Plus, Richard Branson was his producer.

I’m all for chainsaws at rock concerts

Howler monkeys have a 140 db scream. Prince’s first album in which he payed all of the instruments should have been called “For Me.”

Prince was an amazing talent.

Todd Rundgren also played all the instruments on his first album….

Did prince play all those instruments in a Quonset hut?

Imagine if the guitar hadn’t been broken – I bet it would have sold for a lot more!

That 125.4 mating call is ineffective because ALL female Brazilian White Bellbirds are born deaf! Belive This, NOT!!

Ah,but could Prince play the sweet potato?

There is a lot of arguement about the 28 instruments, as many of them are simply variations of one another. Listed instruments are; acoustic, electric, and bass guitar; acoustic and Fender Rhodes piano; synth bass; various keyboard synths by Oberheim, Moog, and ARP; orchestra bells; drums and percussion. AND he credits the drummer David Garibaldi, for programming his drum machine beats.

All that aside, he was still a talented musician to be able to have enough working knowledge of thos instruments to incorporate them into his work

There has been only one concert that I’ve attended that I considered loud. It was a Who concert at the Capitol Centre back in ‘73. I didn’t think it was loud at first, but when I got back to the barracks (Ft. Meade, Md.) my ears were ringing. A tremendous show with an awesome opening act, Lynyrd Skynyrd.

With a mating call that loud ….. certainly would make it known to “ALL” …. :)

I went to school with some crazy kids who tried to break into Kobain’s house and had to be bailed out by the teacher. It was a boring school if it wasnt’ for those kids.

And apparently he played them naked?

Keep your religious beliefs to yourself!
