What's Prince's earliest Hendrix-like tune? When did we first start to see him really emulate Hendrix? "Let's Go Crazy" is a wah-heavy guitar freakout and there are some similar moments on 1999 but what was his first Hendrix like tune? | |

my mom used to have a hendrix bootleg called "high live and dirty" and some of the stuff i heard on that bootleg reminded me of "bambi". and yes, my mom bought bootlegs. i was corrupted at an early age. | |

"I'm yours"...."bambie" is superior but I think "I'm yours" was the start | |

In the bridge section of Bambi, the melody line and riff P plays on the guitar is VERY similar to the melody line Hendrix played during the intro chorus to Purple Haze. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

Well "I'm Yours" was the first official release where P employed rock in a song but I always considered "I'm Yours" more akin to 70's styled MOR like REO Speedwagon, Boston, Journey, etc than Hendrix. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

Prince has always been heavily influenced by Hendrix, listen 2 some of the early Moonsound sessions. Most of the guitar work on those tapes is a mixture between the Hendrix and Santana styles.

I wouldn't be able to guess the similarity, I love both of these earlier rock tunes. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U. | |
