Vernon Reid is just nasty on guitar

I remember this song from back in the day, but I never heard it performed live. Reid’s solo is much longer in this cut.

Somebody slap him!

Don’t sleep on Jesse Johnson.

You know, I’ve never heard him do solo on guitar. I just remember him for his vocals. I’ll have to check him out on YouTube.

YouTube won’t do it though they have some of his tracks. Of the recorded stuff, the “Jungle Love” solo is good.

Morris Day: “Hey Jesse. Gimme one of those sexy solos. Right here. Break it down.”
