Classic Prince but a really poor choice for leading single.



I beg to differ.As someone pointed out,it's easily the best song on 'The Gold Experience' CD.
I agree it's the best song on the Gold Experience. I don't think it should have been the leading single though. I equate it to the If I Was Your Girlfriend situation. Excellent song but very bad choice for a single.



errr wouldnt that have been TMBGITW i know the release of the album got held back but...
I meant 'leading single to promote the album at the time it was being released.' Gold would have been a far better choice, rather than I Hate U.


yeah im being piccy

ive said here before but the whole gold experience album would have reached a far wider audience and better received all round if it HAD of been released straight after TMBGITW
that was a real marketing mis step which record company disputes shouldnt have been allowed to fuck up

sorry to jack the thread

having said that i hate u was a far better crafted song in all ways to gold even if gold would have been a slightly more mainstream release

No question. I Hate U is a better crafted Prince song than Gold. However, Gold is classic Prince for the mainstream. There is a big difference. They made the wrong decision delaying The Gold Experience after The Most Beautiful Girl In The World, and they made the wrong decision promoting its eventual release with I Hate U. They also made a mistake with the non-release of Days Of Wild. That era was littered with poor decisions.

A comedian once said that ONLY Prince could write a song like that:
I love you but I hate you because I love you but I can't love you because I hate you, I love you,I hate you, I love you, I hate you...

After listening to that you go, Huh??? Hmmm??? What???

Top five songs of the 90s in my opinion would have to include this one.

Not addicted, but i always have to play it 2x when i play it, as i do LOVE it. it's so emotional, so sad. prince really seems like he's REALLY "FEELIN" those words. the sound & music is haunting & awesome too, but the words...theres a "THIN" line btween love & hate u know.
May the BELLS ring 4 U even when ur not in love. hug kisses
