Dez or Wendy...u decide!

Hello Purple Party People,

I was looking at the 1999 concert the other week and I have to say Dez Dickerson is just a beast on the lead guitar, then I was watching the Parade tour and Wendy is off the charts during that tour! So, my question who is the best between Wendy and Dez? I can't decide... Aaron6ix neutral

Dez was way more skilled at playing than Wendy at the time. Not sure about nowadays.

Wendy kicks ass! Have you heard "When Doves Cry"?? Sure I'll give Dez credit for "Little Red Corvette" that was pretty kick-ass too. Other than that and, "Modernaire". Nothing from Dez has really impressed me.

Dez for his solos and Wendy for her influence.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

I got confused, doesn't she play it in the video? I've seen her play it live, a few times.

Wendy all the way...the Revolution had enough cooks, it needed more pussies...

Dez was perfect for the 80-82 era, but really, Prince's music truly benefited and evolved thanks to the input/help/guidance/collaboration of Wendy (& Lisa)...

It's always good to have a lesbian on guitar in your band. They can accomplish anything!

DEZ.

And he influenced Prince in the early days just as much as Wendy did later. Just in different ways.

Overall 2 different styles

Dez was more metal, even moreso than Prince

Wendy has more accoustic rhythm behind her playing which influences her rock playing

Dez was good for his time but I'll take Wendy all day everyday! She will not be "Invisible"!

Who ever said Prince has lost it - has lost it. The Kid's still got game!
