I think you're right. Songs on Lovesexy that I thought were band efforts I now think were mostly Prince.

Like Alphabet Street. There's no live drums, so Sheila's not on it. I think Prince does the bass, too.

And if you went to the Jam Of The Year shows, you'd know how great he is on bass due to the 20 minute version of Face Down.


20 minute version? Damn did he play it like it was on the chris rock show?




FUCK NO!!!!!

that shit was awesome....I seen that fool with my own eys.....Sing...Play Bass...and play piano at the same time. Can't NO ONE fuck with that shit. The love4OneAnother show in San Diego was the BESTEST sho I've ever been too....it was only $40 too!!!!

Can someone tell me who plays bass on the 12" of Kiss? That break is off the hook!!

Which part? The 1st half of hte song (the single) has no bass. Later in the 12" it sounds like bass saxiphone or something like that.


Without busting it out and giving you a time reference, it's a decending riff right before the horns come in. Happens twice, in fact. Sorry for the poor description. I'll try to dig out the track and be more specific if I get the chance.
I've gone to find myself. If I should return before I get back, keep me here.

I saw a hit and run show once where I think he was playing bass. It was during "Come on" (I think) and this girl got on stage and she had booty and would shake it to his bass playing...he would slap his bass and she would respond to him with her booty. It was so cute he looked like he was loving it. razz

That's why i ask these questions. The credits aren't reliable or in full for each track.

It seems other people mostly laid down the bass; andre, sonny, mark, rhonda; does prince suck, why do other people always do it for him?


Here are two more tracks that have awesome bass work in it by Prince:

HELLO (Extended version)
PARTYMAN (Extended version)

Sheila did the drums and persussion on alphabet st and most of lovesexy; it says so in the album credits.

Prince didn't play bass on alphabet st!



No, Sheila didn't, yes, Prince did. The album credits don't tell the real story.

Well, how would you know that the album credits are right in this case? There's NOTHING on Lovesexy that sounds like Sheila on drums, except for maybe 'Dance On'. And that IS Prince on bass on Alphabet St.

Prince sometimes reworks the credits on the album to give the proper mood to the reader. They are not sometimes accurate.

- yes, it seems like it´s Sheila on drums, but Prince on Alphabet St? I would believe if there was a more accurate source, but I dont doubt that he could play it smile

Word. Prince was far more generous in his credits than most folks want 2 admit. Stange that they R actually Prince fans... Maybe just lost lambs seeking the truth 2 justify their obsessions... who knows? I know U know what's up though, and it's always refreshing.

I suppose that since Prince was a musical pied piper, or, a leader, in an otherwise mostly bland musical era, some people here R, in fact, disgruntled, and even lost... searching 4 anything 2 discredit him, so they can feel better about being lost in the past, and therefore, not being able 2 support the now.

Ah, Prince plays bass on the majority of his work. Ironically he very seldom lets people play bass on his albums.
[Edited 9/8/06 14:26pm]

Agreed 100% with my fellow player, D.P. P plays bass along with damn near everything else on all of his albums. Always have. It's VERY RARE when P doesn't play bass.

Now THAT's what I'm sayin', and thank God it is so, coming from another player... We should start our own, more musically based, Prince site.

Didn't Prince play bass on "Let's Work"? If he didn't, Who did? Cause they straight up killed it.
