Here is your thread to discuss this track only - instead of scanning the main sticky - Enjoy, June7

First

Not enough guitar.

I find myself singing this one all the time cuz I like it a lot. It has a driving beat that's very catchy and I get where Prince is coming from in the lyrics. He performed it at Macy's last week and it sounds fantastic live

.....can it get any worse?

I think he means it doesn't rock out enough.

I remember when the first version was released of the song--I was like... why exactly is this named Guitar again?

Final verdict on this song: TERRIBLE.

I've tried and I've tried to like it but no go. It sucks. Hard. I slightly perefer the original version, too.

Very weak and average with boring production (those lame synth sounds) and wrong mixing. That's all I can say.

If y'all want to hear something with "Guitar" in its title, search somewhere else...

Reminds me of Peach slightly, fun song, and i think i'll be singing it as it sticks in your head. Not overwhelmed by it tho, but dont entirely hate it.

I don't understand some Prince fans. I truly don't. This song is great. It's everything the studio version of Fury should've been. It rocks, it has fun with itself, and it's catchy.

This is classic Prince pop; fun, charming, and cool.

I feel you on this PurpleKnight. I love this track in all of it's "I Will Follow" rawkiness.

PurpleKnight said:

If something like this would've been 'the' classic Prince pop then probably I wouldn't have become a fan.

Cheek said:

Well maybe classic is going a little too far. It's no Kiss or anything, but it's quality pop music. People wanted a cool guitar song from Prince. As far as I'm concerned, they got it.

PurpleKnight said:

I'd rather revisit the Chaos And Disorder album...

PurpleKnight said:

Toally agree with you - some of these 'fans' would have even had a problem with If I was your Girlfriend back in '87 I reckon!

Cheek said:

Oh I love Chaos and Disorder.

Cheek said:

I love Chaos and Disorder (the album)

Girlfriend is a masterpiece. Guitar is a product.

I love this song, and this is the better version.

(Owwww)
(Like I love my guitar)

(Verse)
Get Dirty At the club were in
Use it around your waist like a chain within
I got that call so i jumped in my car
I love you baby
but not like I Love my Guitar

(Courus)
No
Not like i love my Guitar

(Verse)
you couldn't do it all by yourself
You had to go and get someboduy else
Your High enough to call me
but you cant reach the phone
I love you baby
But not like i love my guitar

(Courus)
No
Not like i love my guitar
Turn it up



(Verse)
I tried to warn you
that its hard to be a star
Especially when your driving other peoples car
Would of gave you mine girl
But you took it to far
I Love you baby
Just not like i love my guitar

(Courus)

(Verse)
I know you love me
And you want to be Friends
And if you dont at least you need to pretend
We'll still be together
If we dont get that far
I love you baby but not like i love this guitar

(Outro)
I love you baby and i wish you well
I'll write a letter when i learn how to spell
Until the day you can go to hell
I love you baby you know the rest


and yes...i took the liberty of putting the hell there

Both are products of capitalism.

You guys must listen to music with ear muffs on.

Alamine said:

Which camp are you referring to here? The ones who like it, or the ones who don't?

Shittar.

One of my favorites so far..I dig it! I love the mix. I don't understand you guys who are saying, it doesn't rock hard enough. This track is AMAZING. It is everything the studio mix of "Fury" should have been. Love it.

Catchy

I have to agree that this is not unlike PEACH!

However in my opinion PEACH is a much better song, this sounds like just another throwaway number, the sort of thing you would expect to see free on the front of a Sunday Paper... oh wait a minute it was free on the front of the paper damn and to think I was going to spend good money on this as well!

At least the paper entertained me for half an hour!

My name is PRINCE and I WAS funky my name is PRINCE and I'm free on Sunday!
