He mimes the guitar solo. Don't argue, go watch it.
He kneels down with his right hand on the floor, yet his guitar manages to rip into a roaring solo. Don't argue that he was simply 'hammering on' the notes with his left hand
because i have studied the clip and it is'nt the case. besides,
His face says it all when he realises that he has missed his 'cue'. want,
further proof?
my dad works on concert rigs and his best friend worked the lovesexy shows - he claimed that prince often mimed over pre-recorded guitar solo's in the show. Albiet, it was prince playing on the pre-recording. I got a Lovesexy Crew T-shirt too! -can this be? prince not playing guitar live sometimes?


No, he's definitely playing live. I just checked this section 5 times on my
copy of Lovesexy Live to be sure.

At the point you're describing he's sustaining a single note, while leaning
back with his right hand on the floor. He then quickly hits a new note (which
then starts to distort) with the hand that was supporting his weight (this
totally matches the audio track you can hear while watching this action). Then
he pushes himself back onto his feet and starts some frantic playing. At no
point in this whole section does his guitar play any notes that you can't
clearly see him play on screen. I think you must be watching a dodgy copy of
the show where the sound isn't synched up properly, cuz on my copy there's
no disrcepancy between what you see and what you hear.

This is the funniest thread in this forum!

Thanks for entertaining me through some bored minutes even less entertaining that most of your lives!

Am I chynical? YES!
Do I like to be chynical? Yes!

Do I love Boris for his allknowing knowledge? HELL yeah! I know Prince has pre-recorded beats and vocals on tours, but I never seen him fake 'solo's'.

Ach, I don't doubt that Prince probably pre-recorded stuff at different concerts. In the 80s, 90s and lately, many people have done it. I only have a problem with it when you are flat out lip synching the whole show because you just flat out "can't sang" and your voice isn't strong enough to handle a large sized auditorium or you're show is overreliant on dance moves and it would render you too out of breath to sing. We all know Prince can play guitar so who cares if he fakes a guitar solo here and there.

You know what? I like you, really. Hopefully this put an end to this.

I gotta agree with Boris on this. I just watched the segment in question a bunch of times, and first of all, you can't even see a noticeable change in his facial expression that "gives it away." After he bounces his right hand up to hit a note, he's leaning back on it again while the note sustains and distorts a bit. As he brings his hand back up and starts to stand up, you maybe hear a second note before his hand gets there, which could have easily been a pull-off or hammer-on.

Is this also concerning his 'guitar-talking'? The way he 'sings' the notes while he plays them on guitar?

Well, Prince is very talented and works a lot. You can only do so much. Cut him some slack. Being awesome isn't easy. lol
