it's time you learned. Love and Lust both have 4 letters! but they are entirely different words.

Just heard the full unedited Computer Blue - damn this shit is hot.

Yes it is, congratulations. You've heard a song that most people on this site have heard a thoudand times.

Cold, yeah.

Seems to me that's how this thing is working out. Once was a time when all new experiences/opinions/ideas were treated with respect. Not now. The fact of the matter is is that you've heard a song we've all heard before. We don't care.....ohhhh, this is gonna git some flappin!!!

We do care, we just don'tant to...you know what? I'm fed up of this one-upmanship-bull-shit....

...Yes, the whole version of Computer Blue is fucking awesome, and Prince's guitar just wailed better and better.

Well, that makes perfect sense.

I like more MAC blue!

BoySimon said:

Like I wasn't aware of that. I just felt like making a thread. Is that such a crime?

Oh god, no. It's not a crime, not at all. What I'm saying is that, for some reason, of late, Prince's fans seem to be down on people saying things. Everyone is on the defencesive and on the look out to prove themselves a better Prince fan than whoever appeared before them.


Say what you like about Prince, I'm one of many millions who don't care what you write about him, because we knew he'll correct us all one day.

And, in clarifying answer to your question, yes that version is hot.

Unfortunately, if anybody's answer on here is obnoxious it's your own. Not quite sure what you're trying to prove here - you're just feeding into the very thing you're rallying against.

Just sayin'

It like learning to drive every body hates the learner thats in front of them.

Which full version did you hear? The one with the "hallway speech"? There four different versions circulating. My favorite would be, I think it's #4.

And yes, I agree. The sh*t rocks beyond believe, it's insane.

"I'm on the verge of a breakdown...what is life without love?"

Ain't it though?! It's hot like fire from start to finish! I got to listen to it again. It's too much for words. Congrats for finding a true gem.

The song blows my mind everytime I hear it It's so energetic that it could blow a hole into your speakers. Really good stuff.

Not just the amazing music, but over time the lyrics have become more and more true

One more quote to support my theory that Prince is, indeed, an alien.

Yeah, I have 4 different unreleased versions. The one i was talking about is the one thats in the best quality, it had been finished for the album and segued with Darling Nikki, but then When Doves Cry was written, so they cut about 4 minutes off Computer Blue to make room for it. The bits they cut out contained the bit with Wendy talking (or was it Lisa? I've forgotten now) when she says" poor, poor lonely computer" etc etc...

The one thats around 12 minutes long is in average quality and there's at least a minute and a half at the end where Prince is just making random sounds with his guitar and all the rest of the music has stopped.

Random noise.... one helluva feedback chaos that is! I love it. Hendrix would have been proud!
