EASILY...

Scandalous Sex Suite
I Hate U
3 Chains of Gold... One of the nastiest solos I've ever heard, but its MUCH too brief to save that otherwise abomination of a song.

There's also a FEROCIOUS extended outtake of Computer Blue I used to have a bootleg of. The guitar on that was insane.

Not to forget his solo(s) on "We gon' make it funky", live with Maceo Parker at one of the PP celebrations! I love those added slap and pop bass style licks he plays. And I always love it when he plays the axe along with other instruments, the horns in this case.

Oh, and he tore the roof of the Fillmore in 2004, too.

He's had so many, its to hard to list....

From the 1980's albums-Computer Blue
From the 1990's albums-Endorphinmachine
From the 00's albums-Fury

Best live guitar-RRHOF, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". This one should be a slam dunk!

Get it up

O+> I Would Say My Favorite Is The "Undertaker" O+>

The solo at the end of Bambi. He is absolutely on fire!

i love this one too, but the movie version is the one that kicks my butt.

Gosh, as far as anthems go, I'm gonna put "Savior" right behind "Purple Rain."

Its blues breakdown is cool, too.

2 fantastic solos:

1/ rockhard in a funky place - the tone, the swaggering control, the way it is integrated into the musical background against the carousel-like keyboard lick - and the way it ends, choking on itself before the horn lick takes over again.

2/ i wish u heaven (part 1.2.3) it's in part 2, of course, when he says 'say hello to my little friend... the blue angel'.

what an outSTANDing piece of work. the guitar tone is so dark, sensuous and sinister. and the shape of the solo is savage and restrained at the same time. now that's good church.

I wont mock you as it is one of my ultimate faves .....That sound is just so damn nasty and it kicks ass in a big way.....perfect turned up to 11 !!!!

ButI am ultimatly a Purple Rain freak, 1985 syracuse and 1988 Lovesexy videos being my top 2 but any PR Live solo demands full respect.

the purple rain solo from the last show of the PR tour is not to be messed with.

Anx said:

Hell Yeah.....I actually just finished listening to Batdance !!!! You got me in the mood.....lol.....trying to decide which version of Purple Rain to listen too before going to bed !!! Got about 15 different live versions here

The cool guitar solo on the unreleased version of "My Summertime Thang" is often neglected but well worth a listen

Most non P fans are baffled to discover just how good he is on guitar when I play them this lil beauty

Never heard that one!!!!

The one from The Ride, that he did on the Undertaker. It's too bad the only way to hear such a great thing is to have to endure that shitty movie. At least Vanessa could have gotten naked.

or you could listen to the boot of the audio disc that was printed up to go with it.

I love the Undertaker.....

I kinda dig the "Honky Tonk Woman" song and moreso the "Undertaker" but I think the whole guitar playing is damn fine on that CD / Video.

Or that killer solo on shhh when he did Hong Kong rocks.

from the 1970's albums - Bambi

Solo break in Holy River, Fury and One of us, dueling guitars with Wendy in Computer Blue
Or just lets face it Guitar playing has always been one of his strengths. I mean he can even masturbate a guitar!!

for me, whenever the subject of favorite guitar solos comes up i never think of stuff within a song, but more of the intros to songs...the geetar intros to "i'm yours" and "bambi" kick my ass.

Bambi
live 4 love
batdance
joy in repetition (ona)
ride & the undertaker (the undertaker)

In my previous reply, I totally forgot one that still sends chills behind my earlobes and makes the hair stand up on my right forearm:

the solo in the "Adam & Eve" remix to TGRES.
Coupled with the synth, it's just...

fanfuckin'tabulous!!!

Yeah, one of those times when P obviously was channeling Hendrix. As on the "Cybersingle" solo.

The intro on the song "Paisley Park"

! And at the end of "Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?"
