You took the words right out of my mouth. I will elaborate on ,y response...no one is always going to be right on the mark every time, but to say worst is a stretch in IMHO. Guitar is a main instrument next to the piano. Prince's Sarah | |

The worst compared to Prince standard.PRINCE'S WORST SOLOS could be some anothers best. Prince is great a great guitar player ,always was,always will be,but like every other guitar player he had his good,great and bad playing nights,or even studio performances.IT can happen to every guitar player .Satriani and Vai had off nights also.Bruce Springsteen played some amazing transeding solos ,but Bruce have also played some pretty slopy and bad solos.It's a normal thing and it can happen on every instrument because of various reasons like bad timing,execution,monitoring problems,lack of practise.So name Princes bad guitar moments [Edited 2/26/12 11:41am] | |

The one from the Alladin DVD when they do 'Whole Lotta Love' is a giant letdown. Prince and the NPG pretty much tear the song up and then they get to the solo part and he just pretty much does nothing and then lays a hanky over his axe. Weak. | |

Weak. i agree,his rhythm guitar lick at the end is better then the solo | |

My opinion:
Aint no Junior Vasquez shit that sound remotely interesting like all the layers and underlying musical fragments and patterns in Batdance which combine live played takes of instruments, samples from the movie, interesting lyric fragments that really stretch the idea away from Batman the movie, and programmed beats and patterns, with Prince's teaser trailer style of including bits of songs (including some unreleased). And he manages to throw it all out there in a seemingly raw and rough demo vibe. I'd say its quite logically more unique than Cream. Cream is a very retro conservative song in terms of structure, lyric, production, and vocal performance (compare Batdance in any of those parameters). Cream''s very well crafted and polished pop thats also an homage to the old T-Rex song. But more conventional like much of that album.
Just one of the suite sections of Batdance alone seems more unique to my ears.
I hate when Junior Vasquez touched any of the Prince stuff. Completely boring remixes there. Vasquez is a bore! I HATE house music. My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

I have to agree about Vazquez, and I will drag William Orbit in this too. They make EVERY track they touch sound like the same exact dance tack.
To me, when Prince started using William Orbit to remix his tracks, it spelled the end of a great era.

Not that I think it's bad or anything but I wished he had a longer solo in "Bambi". | |

Well, at the risk of getting hated out of here, I do find that the guitar solos on both Peach and the album version of Guitar don't really catch fire. Both are great rocker songs - where are the killer solos?? PIPS! Eurgh... | |

You know, I'm not one to really say this, BUT I think its silly to think he has 'WORST' guitar solos. I mean, YES he may have some that are not favorable, but he has not done a solo that is HORRIBLE. IMO. I can't think of many times he has done a solo, where he messed up. He has a way of fixing it in such a consistent way, it's hard to tell. Did you know one of the strings came off while performing 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'. No one could tell really, because he's a very skilled guitarist. Granted at times he seems to just pick up a guitar & just improvise, but it sounds better than most ones. In other words, on his WORST day, he is better than many on their BEST DAY. While that might be a 'Stan' approach, I don't care..Hahaha. Prince is crazy good with guitar. I am really stretching it on my sentiments here I know..BUT it's obvious his quick and skilled focus on guitar is remarkable. He performs it effortlessly almost as if it, he took and just mastered it in no time. I just read comments from "The Greatest Guitar Solo Ever' on YouTube just yesterday, and it is NO surprise that even as weird, and crazy Prince could be, pretty much anyone can say, that anytime he picks up a guitar he brings a need lesson to it. Some who were NOT Prince fans, listened to the encouragement one fan brought to check out his performance from Montreaux. They became instantly mesmerized with his skills. Not many people realize, how awesome he is with guitar. He seems to know how to play anything, that says a lot about someone who took years to learn without going to school. He really manages to interpret solos pretty well. Even if we don't like it, to say it's BAD, should only make sense in our taste for it. Not the influence and skill he delivered it in.
WITH THAT BEING SAID...
He does have some uninspired solos. Such as "Whole Lotta Love" at the Aladdin DVD. The one on Indigo Nights is far more inspiring, and just in the flow.
'The Holy River' when he performed that at the Rosie o Donald Show, while it was great, it seemed a bit uninspired. I honestly think, his TV performances lack inspiration, it seems he just does it for the GLAM and showmanship of it all. I wish he could shred it each time like he did when he performed Motherless Child! Now that's inspiring! WHEW!!!
They're times where his playing seems off, as if he just did it because he could, and had to. BUT, I would never say that it's his worst. I would just say, I did not manage to convey all of the emotions, and virtues, he's more than capable of.
WE do know he can LAY DOWN when he really wants too. It's Button Therapy, Baby! | |

Prince's Bass playing is like no other. He rarely let's U c him play it live. But when he does it is funky. He can write the most eclectic bass parts unheard of...
