great riffs

Thanks for that

I just downloaded it and listened to it properly for the first time. It's the best guitar driven track he's done in years, I think.

You think?

I like it, ok, but which it wasn't so pop-musicy, I think it would be better done as a darker song.

My pleasure!

Yeah I do. I prefer it to other recent 'rock' singles like Cinnamon Girl and 'Fury'. The riffs are great.

thank you for posting this.

Its still to grow on me.
I cant wait to see the full video though.

I agree with an above poster, it's too pop. A driving guitar riff and harder pounding groove would have made it killer. I'm sure it'll be great live, but like most of his rock efforts, they're watered down on the record.

Actually, listening to it again, the instumentation sounds like AC/DC round about Powerage. That's a good thing.

this'll beat my beat up youtube job that I finally got around to doing yesterday...why didn't I just wait...

This gets worse with every listen. A shameful waste of some nice guitar playing. Too bad he couldnt be bothered to come up with a song to go along with it.

Awww, Prince, that's so sweet!


But I didn't get YOU anything....

Now that's some guitar-lovemaking song.

listening to a clean version, there's some great subtleties to it...but...lyrically,and overall musically, it's lacking....the title gives it so much room for greatness..>I think if it was simply re-titled, expectations of the tune would change and it might seem better...i unno...there's just 1 thing I can't put my finger that makes the project not click....I'm sure it's great live...a born 2 b live tune a la Days of Wild in a sense...but I digress...can't form a solid opinion so lemme shut up...

I was really hoping to like this song, but what a yawner.

It's a shame to hear the reviews here. I just hope it's loved as part of Planet Earth.

Iv had this song for a long time.bought it from 3121.com when prince very firstly let us have it for 99 cents.

have you listened to this version though?

Ahh....this has been changed, sounds like U2 - not sure if i like it as much - its less funky than the original - still has a good beat though.

Finally. I'm able to listen to it on the computer instead of on my phone.

Thanks ^_^

The chorus riff is like "I Will Follow" by U2

The quality of this mp3 is very bad compared to the version on the Sony's website. The sound is far clearer on the Sony's website version.

Yes, thats it, the riff is pretty much the same as on I will Follow by U2. Im surprised he made it so similar, esp the intro. On further listens though think it may grow on me - i like the background synth melodies near the end and the jokey voice Prince does when he says 'I tried to warn you...' etc.
