I have the song downloaded on my phone.. the entire song... and while thats all well and good, I'd like 2 hear it on my SPEAKERS... or, you know, burn it to a cd to listen to in the car... Has anyone been able 2 transfer it to their computer, and since it was free to donwload anyway, can I ask if I could get a link to download the entire song that someone's sent from phone > computer?? I haven't read the whole thread yet, but if this hasn't already been answered: After downloading the song to your phone, open WMP on your PC, go to the Vcast Online Store (located on the upper right hand side, may need to use the dropdown), login and there are links on the left to access your downloaded music. It then loads it into your WMP library. (WMP 10 needed with ActiveX on)) [Edited 5/31/07 15:39pm] | |

And the rest of us will go with what's been presented to us. Cool? I don't see anything wrong with suggesting that folks should be happy with what they hear when it all goes down, based on what I KNOW. I HAVE kept it 2 myself, because I must, and because I have respect. I hear U though. It'll all come out in the wash soon enough, right? When is Revolution coming out? A couple months ago right? Keep trying to feel important. | |

Yeah, just listened to the 3121 download version. This one does sound better.
But, geez Prince... I liked it better before, when it was called Fury. Oh, and the time before that... when it was called Girls And Boys. I'm cool with it though. Prince usually picks crappy lead-off singles, so the album can only be better. Right? If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

I really like this 'album version' of Guitar.
The original 3121.com download was a demo, this is the finished song, re-recorded from scratch, with more of a live band feel. A good indicator of the rawer live-in-the-studio vibe of the new album Planet Earth. | |

Ok, I saw the clip at work, but really couldn't hear it well. I just listened to it again on my home computer and it doesn't do much for me. Perhaps I need to hear the song in it's entirety before I make my final judgment. | |

So.. I just saw the ET clip... and I am disappointed. Where can we see the FULL video?? Is there one, or did he JUST make a video for a Verizon commercial?
Hmmm.. | |

Part of me wants to moan because this seems to be only for those who are registered with Verizon.
Then again, I'm going to one of the London gigs and getting the new CD, presumably Planet Earth, as part of the deal, so I can't complain about possible exclusivity, etc. etc. | |

Not very charmed here....The song sounds like a copy of "Fury" with simpler lyrics, I get the connection with G&B but there's none of the playfulness, the light dainty french funny stuff.
Nothing like Cream, in my opinion. I loved Cream. And another thing, I loved Diamond and Pearl, and I really dislike Twinz, they look over-made-up and cheap, and their dancing is the opposite of attractive, so...ungraceful. Prince looks good but Prince always looks good. Not sold on this one, yet anyway. | |

Genuine question. Do you have any good examples of evidence where Giovanni has proved that he's 'in the know'? Usually, on any subject on any forum, those who DO know either keep quiet or give out straight facts and it's only those who know nothing who give out cryptic messages and will also offer convenient disclaimers that things may change. Even if he does know what's going down, Giovanni's 'I know something you don't know' attitude is still incredibly unwelcome and deserve the negative reaction that he often gets. Nobody likes a smart ass. | |

sunlite said: I have to hear the the whole song, but I prefer the demo vibe of the original version. The guitar had that old "Dirty Mind" tone and the drumbeat was more danceable. This version is more straight forward rock-n-roll. Of course I'm looking forward to anything Prince records.
Totally agree. I think we might be the only people who seem to like the other version better. But like you said, I need to hear the whole "new" version...which brings me to my next point --> Serena said: I haven't read the whole thread yet, but if this hasn't already been answered: After downloading the song to your phone, open WMP on your PC, go to the Vcast Online Store (located on the upper right hand side, may need to use the dropdown), login and there are links on the left to access your downloaded music. It then loads it into your WMP library. (WMP 10 needed with ActiveX on)) I don't have Verizon, but my parents (who live far away do). If I logged in as them...could I download the song to my computer or does it have to go to their phone first? Otherwise, if people with verizon download to their computer then could share the file right? (Theoretically, of course. ) Haystack said: Genuine question.

SexyBeautifulOne said: Sorry, Prince!
I'm still not feeling it and I'm as much of a hardcore Prince fan as they come! Please, pretty, pretty please, can you just get rid of the Twitch Twins, the lame lyrics, the bland tunes and the gimmicks already and get back to doing YOU? I understand your desire to do what it is you have to do to survive but for the love of all things musically holy, why are you letting people convince you that what you are doing now is good for your musical legacy. It's not!! It's tainting it, actually! Even in my eyes and that's the saddest thing I've ever had to say. If you were only going to destroy it, why'd you bother to work so damn hard creating it in the first place? Yeah, I know there are millions that don't feel the same way but hey, somebody has to be honest with you, right? Might as well be little ol' me. When I've had enough of this sadness and make no mistake, hearing and seeing you like this is indeed sad for me, at least I'll be able to say I did try. No, I'm not one of those people stuck in the '80's and only want you to put out music like you've done already but gee whiz, where's the multi-talented, creative, free spirit that was behind it all?.... ...he's 50 | |

I think this 'new' version sounds more like a demo than the original - still the video is cool and too early to say if its better or not as i havent heard the whole song. Album should be exciting though! [Edited 5/31/07 18:22pm] | |

Why does everything have to turn into a bitch session. If you don't like what someone says...move on. Just seems a little pointless to call out people you don't know. IF, IF, IF, these folks are really attention seekers like some say then your post just fuels the fire. You are giving them what they want. I am NOT saying that I believe they are. And, while I'm on my lecture why do people get so huffy about "inside" info anyway? If you know something great. If you are like me and have no connections whatsoever, then, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the purple ride! | |
