Guitar Meets Science has released a new mini-documentary examining the events surrounding Prince's historic 2004 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame performance.

The documentary delves into the story behind Prince's infamous 'rehearsal from hell,' where he allegedly played a blistering set despite being told to tone down his guitar playing due to sound checks.

The film explores the motivations behind Prince's actions, including his reported anger over being left off a list of rock music's greatest guitarists and his desire for revenge against industry gatekeepers.

Through interviews and archival footage, the documentary sheds new light on the physics-defying guitar throw that capped off Prince's performance and his subsequent red hat-clad exit from the stage.
