Jesse layin low with Dangelo he did rock out on the second performance anyone catch it?

Hate to sound so shallow but he is HauGE. With that getup, he does himself no favours. He also looked odd playing the guitar and twirling around like he was. I could not help but think- Prince!! Makes me admire Prince even more, discipline comes to min bs.

I actually felt he was going to fall because he looked so uncoordinated. Jesse is a guitar killer as always. What I don't understand is that Alan Leeds is D's road manager. How is D'angelo and the band's clothes any different than Prince's getup on SNL last November? If I can take D seriously as a musician in that Desperado get up, then I can take P seriously in whatever he wears. Other than that, Jesse-BRAVO!

"playing the guitar and twirling around like he was"...yeah I thought about P too when he did that (lol)...As said in the other thread, D was probably nervous playing in front of a studio audience. That was his first performance in a long time..I enjoyed it and Jesse played one of the best solos that I've heard him play live..I must have replayed his fade out solo back 15 times in a row.

Funny to me was that no one will know that the guitar player is so accomplished a solo act himself. To me, Verbal Penetration is something that D'Angelo could hope to make. I admit, i have nbot listened to the new D CD but how could it top VP by Jesse?

Yes "Verbal" is great..I think D and Jesse were cool with one another around the time Jesse did V.P...Maybe D influenced him??..Maybe Jesse wanted that R&B radio airplay again??..(just speculation)...I really hope Jesse does another CD soon...I've been really digging "Black Messiah"...Great songs and a nice vibe.

You should listen to it as it definately tops VP. Its easily the best R&B album in YEARS!! This album is smoking hot and it gets better with every listen!! You should give it a try. R&B music has been sucking for a while and D'Angelo is back with a vengeance!!

Agreed, Verbal Penetration smokes the D'Angelo record.

I can go with that but the one thing that bothered me about that records were all of the loops. It was like Jessie soloing over 4 minute loops.
