Love It!

I liked it. It's just a rehearsal, so I'm not gonna be too critical He hasn't done this song in a long time, so it's cool to hear it again. It's weird hearing keyboards doing some of the 2nd guitar lines.

Great song.

Very cool!! Man i wish we could hear the entire rehearsal. Fades out just as they were segueing into Take me with U.

love the sound

but there is just that 'trying to be a bit too black, tried to rap' thing in the way he sings

I miss his Midwestern in a black & white world touch of suburban boy way of singing from those earlier years

Thanx P

I it!

Everything sounds good but the vocals.


He could at least "try". lawd.


Maybe he's saving himself since this *is* just a rehearsal, but the vocals are just weak, weak, weak.

no vocals are great

Wow, Prince really does get better with time. I like that!

Did he actually say "I just don't give a damn"??

not convinced by the vocals..the song needs 2 be sung with loadsa passion & anger falsettostylee
..Grrrrr..why u wanna treat me soooo bad..BITCH!
however i could overlook this minor detail under the condition that he rocks the gold spandex, struts like mick j, whisks out des & andre 4 some rockgod frottage action..then we're talking

Great to hear this again! I loved it! His lower register gives it a fresh feel!

the guitar is cool but his vocals aren't that great. Flat, nothing melodic really going on. Of lately, his vocals haven't been interesting (LRC as an example). Not saying he should've done it in falsetto but it's a let down. His vocals on Leno were amazing.

just my opinion.

very nice! I am glad he stuck to the orginal song as much as he did! I do not like his edits. Man that guitar at the end sure would be fun to play on guitar hero!

But I have a MAJOR issue with this! I wanna hear "take me with u" now!

oh and should he change "the very best I can" to "my very best my fair" (rhymes better with "care")

me too! not that i have ever heard any such thing!

Oh snap! He is singing this to Bri!

Hello Mc Fly!

Loving it but... Does he know he has his own website?



I guess he wants more than 20 people to hear it?

and posting on drfs is free!

I think Prince is aiming this song at a certain fan site.

That thought crossed my mind too. He's got balls that clank if he thinks he's a victim in all this.

Thanx Prince: I love this!!

O.M.G. That track sounds awesome! One of my favorite songs. Finally, for so long, a song I wished I heard him perform again live, and now we get to hear a rehearsal performance of it and it sounds fantastic, just like when it first came out. What a nice surprise. I especially like the solo guitar playing near the end of the song.

Thanks to Dr. FB for posting on the track on his site, and to Prince and his team for sharing it with the fans

Since he's all cool with Youtube now and thangs. Doesn't this just beg for a mash-up video Org style?
