WHY do so many people hate 3 Chains o' Gold??? i mean... yes, it's a bit overwrought. Still, I think it's a great track. Sonically it's amazing. Some great great vocal parts, and the guitar work is fantastic. I love to blast it in my car... makes the doors shake.
There is a silliness factor, yes. But there is with Bohemian Rhapsody, too, and nobody seems to mind it... | |

The elements are cool, just not all together like that. It
is just an onslaught on your ears. And the drama, oh god, the drama. It's Christopher Tracy in a drag-bar high on helium with a sailor in Gaultier shorts on his knee. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

It sounds like he tried to sound like Queen instead of being creative himself. With a very special thank you to Tina: Is hammer already absolute, how much some people verändern...ICH hope is never so I will be! And if, then I hope that I would then have wen in my environment who joins me in the A.... | |

I liked it better when it was called Bohemian Rhapsody. Prince may be the purple Yoda, but Wendy & Lisa and Eric Leeds also sit on the Jedi Council. | |

I think its obvious he was trying to do something in he vein of the popular and guady and tasteless "Phantom of the Opera" production (Andrew Loyd Weber)
He must have seen this thing and felt the urge to do his own thang... PS nino rota riped off shit!!! My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

I like it.It sounds really loud and dramatic.Very experimental.I think it should have been the last track on the album ("Sacrfice Of Victor" should have been scrapped). | |

EXACTLY!!! That is the main reason why it doesn't sit well with me. All that creativity flowin' through Prince | |

God knnows he's never sounded like anyone else! "So strange that no one stayed at the end of the Parade..." - Wendy & Lisa's "Song About" on their 1987 self-titled album.

I don't understand the hatred towards that song either. It's not on my top-10 list...but I certainly enjoy it.
Clearly, Prince must've been in his car...and Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody came on the radio...and he said; " Hey-! I can do that!" ...and he DID. By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

Funny how some people hate this song but they like shit such as TRC and Xpectation. Too weird. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

I always found this to be the most interesting song on the album. I'm a sucka for his songs which shift tempo, key signature, and come in movements like 3 chains, joint to joint, etc. "That...magic, the start of something revolutionary-the Minneapolis Sound, we should cherish it and not punish prince for not being able to replicate it."-Dreamshaman32 | |

Where would I begin if I wanted to tell you why I hate this track?
Oh well, one quick phrase y'all: "It Just Plain Sucks!" I actually cannot physically sit and listen to this track... actually I've just had a thought! We should come up with a 10 track list of the worst Prince tracks ever. I'll start: 1. Graffiti Bridge 2. 3 Chains O' Gold 3. Damned If I Do 4. Batdance 5. I Rock Therefore I am 6. Live 4 Love 7. Solo 8. The Morning Papers 9. So Far, SO Pleased 10.The Last December Come on...Bring it on!!! -----------------------------------------------
