Thanx Spyz...Lisa was fine as HELL!!! She tore that cake up! But yeah, I tell these knuckleheads on here all the time that I know for a stone truth that it was P on that solo. Fom Morris's and Andre's mouths to my ears. I could tell it was P BEFORE I had ever did anything went those two cats. After seeing The Time twice opening up for P (Controversy & 1999 tours), I KNEW it was P imitating Jesse's style AND sound. But yeah, when I saw The Time at Long Beach in 83, when they played 777 live, it's NOTHING like P's recorded solo. NOTHING. It's soooo obvious that it was two different cats. Just like how u can tell that it isn't Prince playing the solo to Jungle Love. Same exact thing. It's THAT big of difference.

calhoun square from indigo 28 08 2007-briliant whammy bar use
shhh-hong kong rocks-that peformance wouldn't be so cool and mindblowning if prince didn't do his whammy bar dives.

vilanova junction 2007 last indigo afershow

joy in repettion from one nite alone aftershow cd -those lonley notes you hear its prince with whammy bar.

prince's guitar playing become stale and boring over years especialy during rave era so he knew he had to add something.
what's cool about prince's whammy bar affair is that even if he tryies to imitate some hendrix mood with whammy in the end everything he does gets that prince's flavour in the end.

prince whammy bar is diffrent then all other guitarist he uses it like no other guitarists do.

You mean the abortion of whammy bar use surely? Truly terrible and the main instance that I think of when I think of Prince's positively amateur use of the bar.

Please don't come to my house and kill me for saying that. It's just my opinion having played for 21 years and having heard other guitarists

PS: Prince I still love you. Just stop using the bar man!

i play guitar 14 years
prince should do what he want
he will always play with and sometimes without whammy bar

prince can legatto 2 his hearts content as far as i'm concerned!

yes! it's impressive coz he can play his guitar like a crazed beast, leaving his free hand 2 smooth his hair down...who says men can't multitask?

lol..Yeah P's one of the few cats that can primp his hair and play a solo at the same time. I watched the "Fury-SNL" clip last night for the 1st time in a while and forgot how cool that was.

Yeah, I was happy for him cuz he focused on his playing and it was for the first time in a long time I had seen him kill it on the axe. He echoed Jimi there for a second.
