We have all put together our ultimate Prince band, how about the worst?

Here I go!!

Drums: Bobby Z (nothing going on there at all)
Bass: Rhonda (sorry I don't see it)
Rapper: TC Ellis or Tony M (take your pick)
Female Dancer: Can't remember her name (she was on the 2000 tour)
Keyboards (pick 2): Lisa (she always looked constipated) Gayle Chapman (was there long enough, had to be a reason.
Guitar (pick 2) - Levi and Mike Scott
Band: Revoultion (they could hold Prince's guitar pick now)

Let me know you picks!!

I saw Mike Scott destroy Prince in a guitar showdown.

Find anyone who was at this show: http://www.prince.org/events/1128 and ask them who won?


Also, your list is flawed if you don't think Kirky J. was Prince's worst drummer.

Bass: Ditto
Keyboards: Ditto
Drums: Kirky J

well it is MY list, Kirk would of been pick #2.

Guitar showdown?? I saw 2 Prince concerts in the last 48 hrs and Mike didn't show me shit..

Kirk J- Terrible, well maybe not terrible, but following Mike B. he was bad.
Cat from the 98 tour- I didn't like her groove at all.
Lisa C.- I hate 2 say it but she was just ok. Wendy was much better on guitar than Lisa was on keys.

rhonda bass playing sucks!!!

Lisa..did she ever do a keyboard solo???

Nothing about looks...

Cat the guitar player not the dancer.

bkw said:

I don't think so...

DRUMS: Grand Master Flash
Bass Guitar : Susana Hoffs
Sax, Trombone, and all brass instrucments: Kenny G.
Piano : Bizz Markey
Keyboard and Rythim Guitar: The Indigo Girls
Side Kick Rapper : William Hung

Carmen Electra and Tony M. trying to do everything.

That's some funny s**t!

I honestly can't answer this question. Everyone who played for Prince fit their role well.
And for those of you who knock Kirk Johnson, he was the most talented of The Gameboyz. Besides dance, all Damon did was stay black. Tony M? 'Nuff said.

Bull said:

I believe her full name is Kat Dyson.

Trivia: I think Kat and Kirk have songs on the "Pimp's Up, Ho's Down" soundtrack.

You don't mind your credibility being shot to hell, eh? It's ok if you think she's not a great bassist, but to say she "sucks" is seriously over the top.

I have to agree with Bkw, she's his best bassist. There's a contingent of Prince fans that seem to love Brown Mark to no end, but seeing him live didn't impress me. He was serviceable. Maybe if Rhonda had a role in Purple Rain 20 years ago more people would dig her playing (this isn't directed toward you because you've already slaughtered some sacred cows from that film).


Don't remember. I wasn't defending her.

Rhonda has definetly gotten better. She was horribile when i first saw her on the JOTY tour

wouldn't mind getting blown by that windmill

Drums--Kirky J
Bass--none of them have been bad--least talented of them would probably be BrownMark but he was still very good
Keyboards--again, none were bad...Tommy Barbarella was probably the least talented, though (for those slamming Lisa, she was classically trained and provided great piano/keyboard structures to the songs...so what if she didn't solo much although her solo in the Anotherloverholenyohead video proves her worth)
Guitar--Kat Dyson (Wendy wasn't that great a guitarist, fwiw, but she had the RIGHT sound for the Revolution)

The ultimate band.....


The Prince Acapella All Stars!

Starring...

Carmen Electra
Dale Bozzio
Wally and greg
TC Ellis
Tony M
Cat
Apollonia

I'd add Mayte 2...when I remember that Prince composed and produced albuns 4 her and Carmen, his moaning about no-talented singers doesn't make much sense..

here ya go....

not sheila e...but michael bolton on percussion.


instead of dr.fink...why not yanni?

bds70 said:

This could have been fun but you went and ruined it with a stupid list. "Rhonda (sorry I don't see it)" are you kidding me?? Stevie Wonder can see it!!! Her and Sonny T are hands down the most talented bass players Prince has ever had.

Bobby Z. was too busy having to run the Linn to be a drummer watch the Parade tour and learn.

Lisa never looked constipated she was just too damn cool.

Mike Scott and Levi would bury Kat Dyson is less than 3 licks.

Sometimes the ignorance on the Org is mind blowing.

bds70 said:

How did Levi get on here? I love his guitar playing, he's one who brought a unique sound to prince's music. Where you could just tell it was Levi and not Prince.

bds70 said:

You need to go back and re-think why, you would create such a terrible thread. Mods, put a lock on it please.

LovesexyIsThe1 said:

Nothing to rethink, there are threads who bash prince/praise prince, his albums, tours, etc..

This is just to see what other think, period. My picks are IMHO. But after reflection, Kirky J was not better than Bobby Z.

lovemachine said:

I stand corrected!!! He was around long enough to remember.

EverlastingNow said:

Lisa looked stupid....

I stand corrected Mike Scott is better than Kat...

In the future please say "sometimes the opinions on the org are mind blowing"
