Probably my favourite song and the live version from 'The Beautiful Experience' introduced me to the funk back in early '95.

Surprised the track was left off TGE when it was performed so much between 94-96. I heard it was due to the negative response when he played it to journalists in early 95, but nothing's for sure. I expect it's due to the studio version simply not living up to the live version.

Probably his best song of the 90s. Certainly his funkiest!

I'm pretty sure the song was actually pulled due to negative critical response.


Yes, in their track-by-track review, New Musical Express was one of them being extremely negative towards Days Of Wild:

"Track 5. DAYS OF WILD

WEAKEST TRACK on the album. Prince is rapping. Meant to sound bad-assed but it just sounds hollow."


from NME review, 11 march 1995, page 37,

Prince is on the front cover with Slave written on his face, pic from the Brit awards 1995.

I think that is a fair comment .... the live versions were ok-ish, but it's quite a dull track really

This is my all time over all song. I would love to hear this done live. Sad to day those days are done.
