How cool? How do you measure cool? Well, to be associated with Madonna is not cool in my book. But this was way back in the days...

He played all the guitar on that, including the opening squeal. He also played guitar on Keep It Together and and the closing track Act Of Contrition (may hve produced it too).

My favourite Madonna album, and not just because P is on it.

He didn't play rhythm guitar (or all the guitars) on Like A Prayer.

He just played the almost 'metal' squalling guitar part that is virtually buried
in the mix on most versions of the song. It can only be clearly heard on "Act Of
Contrition" (which is just Like A Prayer played backwards with some improvised
lyrics over the top, and just serves as a bookend to the album).

However, he does play a rhythm guitar part on Keep It Together (which only
appears on the album version of the track).

Check out the Extended 12" Mix for his solo. I hear his did his own version of 'Like A Prayer'.

There's also a sample of 'Bob George' from the then unreleased Black Album in one of the promo mixes, 'Dub beats' I think. (That skinny MF with the high voice)

See this is how it should be done. Informative with no snark or condescending ass remarks. Some folks should learn a thing or two from you Boris worship
