Shame about the rest of the song, though.

i....like the rest of the song....

This track is far from list of favorite Prince tunes, but the solo at the end of "I Hate U" is pretty raw.

Anxiety said:

That is an AWESOME solo! I remember it making me proud to be a Prince fan at the time, and pointing out that video to my friends -- "Did you see that?!?!?"

Although not a guitar solo, I think his bes guitar playing is in "ICNTTPOYM"

CoJones said:

there's a big ol' instrumental break with guitar solo in the middle of the song, unless i'm just iggnurrrrnt and it's called something else.

Anxiety said:

I don't belive it's a true solo in that it isn't the only instrument being played (drums in the background) but it's still my favorite guitar lick of all

CoJones said:

sure it's a solo!

CoJones said:

?

A guitar solo doesn't necessarily mean that the only instrument being played is lead guitar. If that were true, there would be only a handful of Prince guitar solos on record.

Solo means one

CoJones said:

Actually it means alone

CoJones said:

yeah, but in music, it means when one particular instrument comes to the fore and is given time to improvise or 'do its thing'...it doesn't have to be JUST that instrument audible in the song for it to be a solo.

Regardless, ICNTTPOYM gets my vote

Joy in the repetition on both the Graffiti bridge and the live version on One night alone cd's..And on the Scandalous sex suite.

Nah, I was just being sarcastic. I wouldn't even rank it as his worst #1 hit.

"Joy in Repetition" live from the One Nite Alone aftershow CD. Breathtaking!

Actually, this version has 2 solos and I'd slightly prefer the 2nd one (even more dirty and wild!)

I love that one, but it always reminds me of Peter Frampton's solo at the end of "Do You Feel Like We do" from Frampton Comes Alive. Very similar. The build up, and then they just let loose with the big finish. Every time I hear it, I think, "Hey, it's Let's Go Crazy!" or vice-versa.

I love them both though.

Although there are some incredible solos in the whole "Undertaker" project
[official release on video and laserdisk], and the beautiful guitarwork in
the song "The Undertaker" itself floors me everytime, I still prefer that
amazing unearthly, brachiosaural solo in "The War".

that's simply one of those moments.

I like the guitar on "Last December" and the guitars from and
Lenny on Rave un2 the year 2000!

indeed. the guitar on the whole Rainbow Children album is superb.
it sounds so warm and raw and driven.

the best guitar solos on officialy realesed material are:
west(ending guitar solo)

joy in repetition(from one nite alone cd)

sexy mf(dont know if this solo was played by prince or levi)

she spoke to me extended (definetly prince )

get some solo(from cream single cd)

xpedition
xenophobia and many many more.

It was Levi on SexyMF - still a great solo though

Despite the song, the wah-wahed solo at the end of Live4Love is also spine-tingling
