If you had the chance to play at the ONA soundchecks, which song would you play?

Or would you just wanna jam?

Being a keyboardplayer& singer,i would want to play Girls&Boys (the ChaChaCha version from the 80's boots), because it has an easy hook and is easy to jam on.
What would you play?

Gawd i hope this dream comes true. smile

Nice, fun question. smile

Hrmm...I like the Cross. Original lyrics. On the other hand, I've been listening to "Go" a lot lately. Of course, who wouldn't love to perform Purple Rain? smile

Or you can go balls out and do "Damn U" wink

Still it's nice to know, when our bodies wear out, we can get another

I'd wanna introduce him to one of my songs mainly - see what he thought but,that aside,I think I'd like to do the following:

Last December - Drums
Purple Rain - Guitar
Uptown - Bass
How Come You Dont Call Me Anymore - Piano
I could never take the place of your man - Vocals
We Gonna Make It Funky - Sax

I dont think I could contain myself if I were jamming with him though, Ive wanted it for so long that its gotta go wrong when I finally do it sad

God bless

Nice choice, Zum. I have to second that vote. Also, I would choose to play "Shy". It's simple, but seems fun to add on to the funk he has going on in it.

ICNTTPOYM would be a good one to either jam on the drums or guitar with him too.

I would have to jam on an extended version of Rave 2000's "Undertaker".

The background vocals? Boni's part: four notes, right? A,G,F,E (or something like that). I always get a kick out of the simplicity of that part.

Anyway, why this song for vocals? Your other choices make sense, but I can't figure this one out.

I'd jump on electric guitar and f*ck up "We Can Funk"

Then I'd say "Prince, can U just do the guitar on this one, and I'll sing it?"

and Prince would roll his eyes like ..."get off my stage..!"

but then I'd get to the part w/ "...blow the candles out baby...u know the kamasutra, I could rewrite it..." and I'd start screaming and he would then hire me to make his chai in the studio when he's workin' late, then after always hearing me sing under my breath and always bringing in demos of mine, he'd be like..."Dan, let me produce U, I think you're just swell!"

Then I'd tell all my haters..."flip u I TOLD U!"

Here in Houston, I had rehearsed "Peach" 'til my fingers bled. I was gonna play it as a surprise tribute to my wife, and changed the lyrics to:

"She was pure, every ounce
I was sure, when her pigtails bounced

Every way, she's a winner
Takes me out, and she buys my dinner"

AND

"I cry, when I kiss her
Makes me high, 'cause I'm tops on her list
She's so cool, and yeah, I'm ugly
But I'm no fool, I know she loves me

I'll stay with her for the rest of my life
She's my wife!"

But some girl took up damn near the ENTIRE soundcheck, rambling on about a "purple curse". Even Prince asked if there was an ending to her story! No one got to play, although three cats sang "Last December".

So, I never got my chance.

QUESTION - I know Prince has been playing "Peach" lately, and I assume he's changed the dirty lyrics. What new lyrics has he been using?

The key is A minor and as far as I can tell, Prince just plays an A minor chord, adding other notes and playing around. I don't play it barred on the 5th fret, I just play it as a regular A minor chord on the 1st fret (not barred)

Hope that's some help! Sorry it's taken me a while 2 reply!
