Best Guitar Solo

Thought I would ask about P's best guitar solo. My favorite takes place at the end of "I hate you". That loud squeel into some distorted, volcanic, funk. Simply wicked!

Another memorable moment was his guitar intro on Purple House (Rave concert).

Peace,


Drop the gun, take the cannoli

Agree with you and Tiger2 on "I could never take the place of your man solo". Curious about "When I lay my hands on U", I've never heard that one.

Eye think the best guitar solo that prince has ever done is from the video prince and the revolution live in 1985 at the syracuse ny concert. He did a version of purple rain that the guitar solo lasted forever, it was off the hook.

"200 Balloons" - this is the basis for the axe work in batdance, yet 100 times funkier!

"Electric Chair" - need i say more?

anyone besides me think that the "batman" soundtrack is as close to a straight-up "guitar" album that we'll get from P?
now i know what this is all about. now i know exactly what i am.
