I like the twinz! I guess it's another guilty pleasure of mine...as well as this song. I do like the original much better but meh, whatcha gonna do?

ok...i finally listend to the sound alike trax.....I will follow uses the same format a million songs have used...the 8 on 8 string picking has been and will b used for years.

i love it!! i keep looking my fella in the eyes, holding his hand and saying i love you baby,,,,his expression softens and he looks at me lovingly and says ahh thankyou darling,,,and then i let go of his hand and sing BUT NOT IKE I LOVE MY GUITAR and then i proceed to air guitar..he's sick of it now, after a hundred times the novelty has worn off, he doesn't find it cute anymore!

I think the main reason the "twinz" annoy me so much is the fact that there are 2 of them. It just doubles my displeasure.


I don't dislike the song though. It's alright.

Funny, I hate the double mint girls yet I love the twinz

When I first heard the album version of "Guitar", I was missing the sounds and the feel of the demo version.

But when U hear it right after the brilliant, serious, ripping "Planet Earth", it is perfect. It just KICKS. When U hear the CD quality version, U can hear a few other parts way back in the mix.

In fact, the sequencing on this album works perfectly from one song 2 the next.

No matter what version you like, you've got both. The demo was available for purchase, and the album has another version. I'm glad to have two versions.

I hear U there! Version 2 version, I prefer the demo, 'cause it's more interesting, sound-wise... AWIAD sounding, with Prince's drum programming. BUT, when listening 2 the album, going from "Planet Earth" 2 the album version, makes it perfect in it's delivery.

Yeah, the 2 immediate "soundalike" songs are I Will Follow and Back In The USSR.

I've been holding off on listening to the album until I get it next Tuesday, but of course I've heard Guitar. It's OK-to-good, so I'm hoping the rest of the album is better.

I prefer the vocal delivery of the Demo, but the guitar work of the album track.

My co-workers are already sick of me singing...

"Gettin' dirty at the club again",

Same here.

I've listened to this dozens of times in an attempt to like it, and it hasn't worked. The lyrics are trite and the vocals are the whiney half-singing that I don't like. That said, the instrumentation toward the end really does take off, and it works.

This sounds like a rock band playing Boys & Girls. Lyrics are quite funny. Overall: throwaway.

its a good enough effort,but not as good as i thought - love the u2 i will follow intro - but maybe thats because i love u2 just as much as i love prince

It's "Fury 2" - rare to hear him use fadeouts nowadays...

'dre

I really like this one too and I think it could do with being longer and with a wailing guitar solo in it too - or make it more funky with more guitars !!!!

minneapolisgenius said:

yeah and why oh why did they not point thier toes - that really upset me !!

First heard the song here on Dutch radio...2 days ago....and now that's all I hear once an hour at work or at home. (heavy rotation)
Even heard random ppl on the street singing it...

Sorry...it's...just....

Slamming. The chords he chooses hit some nerve or some ish. Signature P.

Cute tune/funny lyrics

DreZone said:

wow , a sequel thats way better than the original then , doesnt happen too often , Guitar rocks ...hard ( Fury sucks...).

I like the sound. I am not crazy about the lyrics.

It's catchy, but sounds a little dated to be a lead single. Sounds like a tune that could have easily fit on the Gold Expereince CD.

Score: 6 (out of 10)

If Guitar borrows from I Will Follow then I Will Follow just as likely borrowed from the Intro to Sex Pistols' Anarchy In The Uk , they're all much of a muchness .

Somebody slap me for this but... It sound like a reply to Justin Timberlake's little song with Nelly and Timberland. (couldnt do it on his own, wanting to drive HIS car. (the Prince sound). bla bla bla.
Does anyone sense a tiny bit of this?

I like the driving guitar all the way through. Sounds sorta crappy streaming it but i'm sure i'll really like it on a cd quality pressed disc.

This song is sad.

It sounds like Prince getting old.

Must be because I'm getting old too, but I love this one. Best intro to a P song in years - can already hear the crowd go mental when this kicks off at the O2 next month.

Not overly fond of the vocal, but overall feel it's a fun upbeat pop song - and long live them.

Just wish it didn't fade, but finished.
