Actually Prince played the solo on that track and all the others from the first The Time albums. Jesse mentioned a few years ago that Prince borrowed his guitar to play the solo on 777.
Why isn't Jesse on Tour with Morris Day when he tours the country & plays all these old-school concerts singing all those hits by the Time? Would love to see Jesse on guitar playing & singing with Morris!
Money and probably because he has his own revue. They do awards and benefits. And he recorded with them as The original 7, when they couldnt use the name when prince was alive.
I think they had a falling out right after they released that last album Condensate because I recall Jesse in an interview saying they had planned a Time tour with the original members then they lost interest and he was pissed because he said he had bought some new gear thinking they were going on tour and it never happened.
@@Neosoulgroovydude Actually Jesse wrote and helped co-write a lot of songs but Prince never credited him for it. He wrote songs for Sheila E, Vanity 6, Mazerati, Janet Jackson, After 7, Da Krash, etc. Sheila E's The Glamorous Life was actually written for Vanity but her and Prince fell out.
Brings back those wonderful and amazing memories from that night the music was fire ..jesse was and still is the baddest musician arounds and still i get chills from the concert💞💞💞💞👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥
JJ was the only guitarist during the Prince era that gave Prince a run for his money. Prince knew it that's why he intentionally broke up The Time. Prince didn't want nobody out shining him especially on guitar. The Time was "FONKY" as hell and Prince knew they had waaaay to much talent! So of course Prince broke them up because The Time would have probably upstaged the Revolution on certain venues. Anyway, JJ was and still today extremely good at guitar. Keep the funk alive 🤘!
Morris broke it up hanging out all night being late for rehearsal & it pissed prince off & morris got pissed & left after the purple rain tour without saying bye!!!!!
@@edennard1 I see you have the All American patch. I was in the 82nd Airborne Division 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment from 88-92. 11 Bravo! I did basic and jump school at Ft Benning. Whoa!
Yeah, JJ is one of those guitar players like Stevie Ray Vaughn, who has the spirit of 100 dead blues guitar players living in him! Lol That's why you've never seen a video of Prince and Jesse "trading solos" over a song. Those 100 spirits would take over and it would not be pretty :-) Nothing against Prince, but Jesse solos have "surprise note choices" in them, and actually keep building in energy...from start to finish. If you check out the "Bare My Naked Soul" video on YT, you'll see that Jesse may have 99 problems, but keeping up (or besting) Prince on guitar ain't one! Lol
Hey Jessie it's Jamie Romeo and I was just talking about you the other day man you can still play up a storm I'm glad to see your still playing next time I get up to Minnesota I'll try to get ahold of you
This one my favorite songs when he met prince he asked prince do you want to audition for you prince said no because prince had already heard him play guitar 🎸
This is my first time seeing this. He is still a great guitar player and the answer is still no. Sorry Jesse, he know what I'm talking about nasty devil.💙❤💙
Why is the best Guitar players not oven there due… the Politics of the Music industry is pure BS. Jessie J. Is in the top 10 of all time hands down. David C.R.U.N.C.H is out
You wont find anyone who can cut your ears with them strings like Ole Jessie. Been Cutting them for years. Still Funky
He looks great too. Timeless...
A lot of people don’t know that this dude right here is one of the baddest on the 🎸
FACTS
Exactly. He is a beast!!!!
I do lol
People seem to forget that it was Jesse Johnson who used to sizzle those solos on 777-9311 and all those great songs by The Time
Live yeah however that's Prince on the albums
@@randydemmings9356 That's correct. Prince had a Stratocaster that used to sizzle.
Was it him on guitar in The Time for "Get it up"? That song has a vicious vicious guitar solo
Actually Prince played the solo on that track and all the others from the first The Time albums. Jesse mentioned a few years ago that Prince borrowed his guitar to play the solo on 777.
@@Quietstorm9That's Prince.
Lord! Jesse is so criminally underrated!
And "underrated" is criminally overused.
Not when it gets to him . Because Jessie can play his ass off.
My Bro looks great and very youthful. Thanks for all the years of good music Mr Jesse Johnson. You a legend.
Love that funk-plus-metal sound. JJ pulls it off flawlessly.
Why isn't Jesse on Tour with Morris Day when he tours the country & plays all these old-school concerts singing all those hits by the Time? Would love to see Jesse on guitar playing & singing with Morris!
Money and probably because he has his own revue. They do awards and benefits. And he recorded with them as The original 7, when they couldnt use the name when prince was alive.
Jesse cowrote jungle love so naturally he will riff on it on his show. Jesse is a great guitarist.

I've been seeing Morris Day lately I just had some inkling for some Minneapolis sound JJ you still got them fingers boy

Prince’s other guitar player Dez Dickerson could play everything Prince played on guitar and then some.

I was at the umgowa towers Ft.Benning in 1982 and I got to Division from 1982 to 1986 ..
2nd 503rd , 407th Detachment..
Airborne All the Way.

Dude only aged 5 years since then haha. Extraordinary. Him and Prince made some great art.

" Living Colors "
Hey Jessie it's Jamie Romeo and I was just talking about you the other day man you can still play up a storm I'm glad to see your still playing next time I get up to Minnesota I'll try to get ahold of you
It would be really nice to actually see him play with The Time again. It would be even nicer to see him on stage with the Revolution. Man, he's great.

Have Jessie Johnson and Ernie Isley jammed together?
Bro still got a headfulla hair. wow
Wheres the fucky at. we need that bass. where's the fuck is my band at
😢
Who's playing guitar on the Time's albums? Especially when they're recorded before the time was assembled 🤔
Mostly Prince! Jesse played on some songs on Ice Cream Castle and Pandemonium. 💜
I know I'm from Mpls went to school with Jam & Prince and know pretty much all the music community.
: )
The sound of this recording was awful! Sometimes cellphones just don't cut it in front of a loud set! Still, Jesse is the man!
Jesse is a better guitar player than prince FOREAL
Why is the best Guitar players not oven there due… the Politics of the Music industry is pure BS. Jessie J. Is in the top 10 of all time hands down. David C.R.U.N.C.H is out
It was Rude!!!
Hes talented but he's boring. Nothing visual or exciting about his performance
This dude is not 22yrs old.
@@kensmechanicalaffair Do u have to be 22 to be exciting???
@@crstopherrussell6618 I'm just saying people get older.
No frills, just a bad MF.... LIKE MILES
Your a jealous narcissist..smh
