Prince playing "Bambi" with Cap'n Kirk's Guitar

In case you didn’t hear, Prince was the musical guest on last night’s episode of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, performing two songs, his latest single “Screwdriver” and the 1979 classic “Bambi.”  Note that Prince borrows The Roots‘ guitarist, Captain Kirk’s guitar for “Bambi.”  Either Prince forgot that he wasn’t playing his own guitar, or just didn’t want to mess up his own axe, because after the song Kirk’s guitar went airborne and crash landed on the floor of Studio 6B prompting this hilarious tweet from Black Thought:

Prince tosses Captain Kirk's guitar in the air

    this was pretty weak…the chic on guitar was f’n up the note…sounds awful actually it might even be P who’s funking up that note… the guitar solo wasn’t even going with the music at all. STANK.

    Looks like something he did in the moment because he was frustrated with his band. They didn’t sound very good and he showed his frustration by breaking the guitar.
