What Midnight said. I saw the o.g lineup open for P on two tours: Controversy and the 1999 tours. This was when P had his best lineup in his band. Still, The Time blew them off stage. Every time.

Personally I am not suprised that she is part hispanic by her European appearence is because i have many hispanic friends who are either white or mulatta of latin descent and many people don't understand but latinos come in all colors and therefore there isn't such thing as a typical "Latin or Spanish" look. From Martin Sheen Cameron Diaz and Lisa Coleman to Sheila E. and Lauren Velez and Zoe Saldana they are latino despite that they are from different cultures. They are such beautiful people. I just suprised that she never knowledge and not that i am saying she isn't proud of her roots. I sort of knew that Lisa is ethnic lady because I think her mother has a mexican last name which is ynda, but corrected me if i wrong.

also you people cracked me up on here with the penis size issue

neat picture

That's what I'm talking about. Prince's band and The Time at their very best. Andre also would have made a great opening act for that tour during the "Livin' In The New Wave" era.

You would have to hear the CD. Maybe they were tired or something.

The Time
Morris and jerome are outstanding showmen. Jesse plays guitar better than anybody that was ever in a band with prince(including the man himself)
The revolution was great, but I'll take the Time

vainandy said:

That's so true. Don't think Andre would have gone for that, though. His pride would have gotten in the way.

I have a rehearsal on wax of the Purple Rain tour. It's also a partial recording. P is getting on Lisa's case for reading a magazine during rehearsal's. "If u would put the muthafuckin' magazine down!" Yeah, they (the band)were lacking some juice on there as well. He was trying to teach them 'God" as well.

Who was more talented?

Seems like a cruel question.

The Time was great and all, and they might be quote/unquote "better musicians". But goddamn, The Revolution! That was a really special band w/LOADS of VIBE. So much fucking VIBE, and exciting and NEW!

I mean, Time songs are fun. But the Revolution is the kind of band, songwise-intentionwise, that would change your life. I can't imagine anybody's life being changed quite the same way with the Time's party music.

sosgemini said:

I like The Revolution better when they basically kept their mouths shut and followed Prince's lead in making "party" music. When Wendy came aboard and teamed up with Lisa, the band started making "life changing" music. That was a turnoff for me. My life is just like the song "1999"....."Life is just a party". Unfortunately, just like the song says....."Parties weren't mean to last".

As a band, the Time. Them jokas wuz fonkay. A good bass playin' bro of mine STILL can't get over Terry's skills. They funk, plain and simple.

As a songwriting team, the Revolution. Yes, by that, I mean (mostly) Wendy & Lisa, and their impact on Prince as a writer. The level of his songs was signficantly elevated after 1999 (and they were slammin' then, mind you) and the falling off period is staggering a few years after SOTT. He's still done great songs -- he's in the right business -- but there's been an obvious loss.

vainandy said:

wow, well....

wow...

vainandy said:

Co-sign right there brotha. I like Prince albums when Wendy and Lisa have little to do with from For You to Purple Rain and from SOTT and to some of his songs in the 90s. I even like his Musicology album too. Around of the world in a day and Parade the albums that W&L had contributed most I like the songs they participated very little or not at all are Rasberry Beret, Pop Life, and Condition of the Heart and also Kiss and Girls and Boys. I am not saying they are bad musicians they are good just that I don't dig their style of music, I guess they are trying too hard to be too experimential and innovation.

As for the time, I think that they are funky and I like just about all the albums. I could easily into songs like 777-9311, Cool, and also The bird too. I think that Jesse Johnson's solo guitar are awesome and could blow just about anyone way. And I think that Morris is funny and also a great performer and yes besides Prince, I used to have crush on him.

In conclusion my votes: humor and entertainment the time and personality and uniqueness the revolution.

would it suprise you to know that lisa co-wrote The Stick? and did the girls have a part in writing Rasberry Beret? Cause i thought wendy hinted to that during the Largo show.....

sosgemini said:

i aware lisa co-wrote the stick and your point is ...? i thought that lisa just co-wrote the lyrics while jaime starr or prince and also matt fink done the synthesizer solos and i listened to the stick and musicially that isn't lisa's style. who cares she co-wrote the words the beat of that song is what makes me listen and dance to it just like many songs and oh yes i sing-along occassionally
as far as the girls co-wrote raspberry beret yes i know that they may help some but prince ran the show of that song too

dewalliz said:

theres no point...im just sharing information.....information i thought you might not know.....

As much as I love 'The Time', I'm sadly aware that they were what they were due to Prince. Much of what Prince was during the 80's was influenced by Wendy and Lisa. Big difference.

I think both groups were talented in buckets, but I think that shine was better demonstrated by The Revolution.
