In the immediate aftermath of the news, we here at Complex got together to talk about some of our favorite Prince moments. Picking one per person was nearly impossible.

Madison Square Garden 1998, seeing him on tour with Chaka Khan. Unbelievable live performer, and one of the best rock guitarists of all time. All those glam metal guys who started wearing leather and lace in the '80s, not only did they not look as good as Prince, they couldn't shred like him either. —Russ Bengston, Senior Staff Writer
