Great find! The snip does sound the same to me, but this is cool. So the CD will probably have the track.

This version of the song was re-recorded with....more guitar. Imagine that.

the drums are louder and are real instead of a drum machine, and princes vocals arnt distorted

This version of the song was re-recorded with....more guitar. Imagine that.

naw...it sounds new to me...not so demo-y

thank the Lord, it's a 1000X better than the version we paid for. reminds me of VAVAVOOM, etc. Still no groundbreaker though is it, just a nice throwaway pop song.

Sounds a little more mainstream, but in a good way. Looks like a great video too. I'm digging that one-legged-guitar-thing the twinz are doing!

Look at the ID on the phone:

Song: Guitar
Artist: Prince
Album: Planet Earth

The cover shown is the same as the one on 3121.com a while ago - Prince lording over the planet.

MIR1 said:

i'm a little wary of prince's cd singles, since the ones from 3121 only had one track a piece (ok, except for 'fury', which was actually quite nice).

looks like he dropped the heels for this video.

ive updatd wikipedia for this aswell

1) sounds cool
2) sounds like "Girls and Boys"
3) Whats with the platform sneakers?...he worn them during the musicology tour..his hip must be bothering him

This HAS been totally re-recorded. The hook chords aren't even the same.

I thought the original "Guitar" was fantastic but this one is OFF THE CHARTS!

And yeah - I saw the "Planet Earth" album thing. So "Guitar" is on it. Alright!

Rodeo, are you a Verizon customer? Do they have the full version available, or just the ringtone snippet? It's clearly been re-recorded, but I'd love to hear some comments on whether or not the song structure or length is different than the original version.

Sounds very good to me. Looks like a professional video too, maybe it's really going to be a single soon.

Definitely a different version. The sound effects have been removed from the voice track.

So, I guess we know that the album is called "Planet Earth" because it says so on the phone to the left.

The video looks good and the song surely sounds a lot better. Still not really excited.
Having said that, my boyfriend, who is not a fan at all, heard the first version when I downloaded it and he thought it was very catchy, he didn't understand why I didn't like it. We'll see

Ok, this production sounds much better, more raw, rockin'. I'm excited, big time.
This could definitely go over big with "Cream" fans.

I like it and it is the 1st time I've heard IT

Totally re-recorded. No effect on the panning effect on the vocal.

Sorry. No panning effect on the vocal.

Sounds alot differnt actually... and "Planet Earth" is the album that came up! We know for sure that the album will be available by the London shows at the latest so 2 months and counting!

Cover?..... What cover?

I'm liking the video

If you go the the "Get More Prince" button right below the video, they play you a little more of the song - what sounds like the complete beginning, and then a little bit more of the chorus.

It's offered as a ringback tone, which means that when people call you, they hear "Guitar" instead of ringing.

I am a Verizon Wireless customer, but I can't set my phone up like that because it's used for business and it wouldn't be appropriate.

If there's a way to download it without making it a ringback tone, I'll let y'all know.
