It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

I'm assuming you mean Revolution only.

I'm thinking for Wendy on lead you need to look at the Parade-era live shows, by which time she was usually on lead with Miko on rhythm. I'm honestly not sure if there are studio tracks on which she took lead, although someone's bound to correct me!

I know Wendy did some solos on Purple Rain live like Darling Nikki, When Doves Cry, and the intro of Purple Rain.
I think she did a solo at Raspberry Beret intro too but don't take my word on this.

She also did a solo on When Doves Cry unreleased or demo version too. I love that solo but her singing wasn't the best but I think her vocals improved overtime especially when she and Lisa did solo albums.

For a good start, I'd check out . . .

Sheryl Crow, "My Favorite Mistake" -- probably the best known on the radio, not to mention is one of the best guitar lines in my opinion almost anywhere.

k. d. lang's cover of "The Joker" came out a few years ago, and I think it was a single.

Most of Seal's 1994 album.

Most of Neil Finn's One Nil (One All in the States).

she gets hired as a name and good songwriter.anybody that knows guitar knows soloing not her thing....she is an excellent songwriter and she makes cool faces (like Prince lol ) to make people actually think she knows what the hell she is doing!

I think Wendy doesn't feel comfortable doing solos and I think I read somewhere she mention that. But that doesn't take away of her being a kickass versatile guitarist at her own right. Anywhoo, she is one of highly demand session guitarists and thats whats matter.

True I agree...but there aren't too many women who can play outstanding lead guitar! it's too advanced for their brains biggrin

Go listen to the first album she plays a few. I've seen her play a perfect version of Alexa de Paris too, and that CAN'T be an easy one.
