If you can get past the over-the-top theatrics, it is still one hell of a track! Lots of great composition and musical changes (even if it is all a bit Broadway) and is superbly recorded and played. Prince's razor-sharp guitar and Bland's drum freakout are particular highlights for me smile

Remember the Ryde Divine tv special where he combined I Wanna Melt With U and 3 Chains of Gold? That was awesome!

It's a great song, very much in the vein of "Bohemian Rhapsody", etc.

My favorite part...

"U say U'll call me and then U don't
eye'll want 2 kiss U and then eye won't
We both do nothing and call it love
Is this love? Is this love?


Simply beautiful and the falsetto is perfection!

Agreed. How can u not like the song? Every song on 3 Chains is brilliant except for Sacrifice of Victor.

It's a fantastic song. Michael B. said they cut it in one take.

Wasn't that it was the whole band playing the sonng, without hardly any overdubs later, opposed to one take? Either way, it's a testament to how tight that band was.

Did you not get enough answers on this thread, so you started this one with the exact same statement? http://prince.org/msg/7/324469

Fished out the Comic yesterday to read on the way to work which I have always liked but....

3 Chains O Gold - WTF was Prince thinking!????!???!?!?!!

Is this the true story of How he met Mayte?
Are the orgininal NPG testing out for The A-Team?
And Most importantly was this ever Filmed?

Tsk tsk. You must be more original than to have two names.

Couldn't agree more, it's one of the most sublime moments of his career!
The composition of that bit is amazing too!
