  • i  saw jesse

  • I saw the time in the 80's in Salisbruy Md with prince

    i was playing guitar in a top 40 band and i was jesse with a pink G&L guitar

    that monday i ordered one from the music store bad brother

  • Wonder why this didn't make onto BMNS? Hope he does another all out guitar album next time

  • Prince WHO? Jesse is the effing man. My God, he is brilliant on the guitar! His rock stuff is WAY more visceral than P's. Authentic even!

  • this music will be gone when those musicians are gone. Today's music is Sh**. No artistry at all.

  • Wow !!!!!!! Good Looks n Talent . What a winning combo

  • Damn, I never realized Jesse was so good. I knew he could play, but this is on a whole other level. He's seriously underrated.

  • oh yea

  • Jesse !!!! quit dinking around and get out there and Play !!! Who cares who's better between J & P ! What's more important is that they inspire more young Brothers to get out there and learn to Play and Keep this type of exspression alive cause .When Cats like there gone this type of style may go with them . And that Sucks !! So JESSE , Vernon Reid , Get out there and rock ! please!!

  • Comparing Jesse Johnson and Prince is like comparing Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye. They are so great and so daylight and darkness from each other. I love 'em both but Jesse didn't get his props.

  • after the Time left Prince he haven't had a real hit album yet !! F--k !!..Prince !..this is NOT Prince page !! go to his youtube video's and kiss his narrow ass on his page...oh shit i guess Prince said F--k ! his so call fans because their ain't NO Damm Prince video's on youtube !!...Prince can play a guitar BUT he's NO guitarist !!! JESSE JOHNSON is a True,True REAL Guitarist...every Damm Prince solo's is cover with distortion & every effects known to guitar ! he ain't that good !!

  • From the horses mouth the Time didn't leave Prince, he broke up their band because they became a monster that outgrew him. I'm not hatin' but the Time was a true LIVE band whereas Prince might have played his stuff or just had a lot of stuff prerecorded in concert. If anything people just get caught up in Prince being "cute" and very visual with the guitar. Jesse plays guitar like he done went thru some some rough shit in life. As for effects Vernon Reid is the Malcolm X of Rock guitar!

  • Comment removed

  • yeah, yeah, this is true , this is true

  • heee heeee heeee!

  • Damn! I hear couple of Hendrix riffs.

  • yeah , yeah, me too , me too

  • Aah yeah, someone else digs the "Minneapolis Geneus's" too well said and nice!

  • I'm a big JJ fan and traveled all the way to Vegas at the last minute to see the Time when I heard he was going to be with them during their last concert this summer. But let's not get it twisted: JJ is good, but he doesn't compare to Prince. Very few can not only play like Prince, but also preform like him. Remember, it was Prince playing the guitar during the first two Time albums, not Jesse. Listen to Get it up from the time. That's Prince, not JJ.

  • Yeah you are right but Jesse live and Prince live are 2 different animals,Prince is more predictableand consistant, and very good,Jesse is raw and displays a different version every time you hear him, which is good, I have seen them both play , in a head to head battle I think Jesse would win by a hair...

  • Are ya'll nuts? Prince out plays everyone on stage with him, i've seen him too many times live. People like Clapton and Santana give him "mad props".. Do your homework, check out while my guitar gently weeps on the 04 rr hall of fame, see for yourself. Jesse is good, but come on now he is a Prince protege' and will admit that.

  • Incredible!

  • This cat totally blows Prince away on the axe.. always did. People NEVER seem able to stand to hear it said. They go stone crazy, and start to defend Prince like he payin' their azzez to. Put Jesse and Prince on a stage. No fancy azz dancin', no sangin'..no bony bitches runnin' to & fro in chiffon costumes.. just axeman vs. axeman.. and you'd see Jesse straight maul his lavender ass.

  • I have to disagree with u on that one my man. I've seen them both in concert in Chi Town. I caught one of Prince's after shows @ the Parkwest and like you said take away all the circus shit and Prince threw down! He was calling up some Hendrix dude ala Band of Gypsys! I mean Prince walked over to his Marshall and cranked it up some more!! Jesse is just insane! I HATE the fact that people under rate Jesse and that's a shame!

  • preach.

  • Exacly, Jesse KILLS prince...Why else do u think whenever the time opened up for prince they chanted the time when prince came on?, Cuz Jesse Kills prince at guitar, im glad to see someone knows that jesse is better then prince

  • yeah but have you heard ralph woodson play. he's on youtube.

  • Thank you, I've been telling people this for years. Some years ago a friend got a chance to hear him play some blues riffs and he said it was out of this world. I am not going to take anything from Prince, but Jesse got him beat when it comes to the guitar.

  • Prince is on a whole different level then Jesse..let's be real..Prince is a living legend god jack of all trades and master of all. I doubt Jesse Johnson will make it to the rock n roll hall of fame.

  • JESSE MIGHT HAVE TO MOVE TO ENGLAND LIKE

    JIMI HENDRIX DID IF YOUR BLACK AND YOU CAN

    PLAY THE GUITAR VERY WELL YOU WON'T BLOW UP IN THE US THEY KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED AND Make

    SURE YOU DON'T AND THAT'S THE TRUTH AND EVERY ONE KNOW'S IT SO LET'S TELL THE TRUTH

    I SAW SOMETHING ON MTV AND THERE WAS A PART TALKING A BOUT MINORITIES WILL HAVE A HARD TIME MAKING IT SO THE TRUTH IS THE LIGHT

  • My god......this is a gem from a great guitar player. I'm ashamed to say that I missed the boat on this release but will be hunting it down on ebay. Thanks so much for this clip!

  • Jesse is the guitar son Jimi Hendrix never had!!!

  • If Jimi Hendrix mounted Stevie Ray Vaughn at Paisley Park, they would spawn Jesse Johnson.. no i said it.

  • Girl, you are twisted!!! LOL!!

  • Sweet.............I almost bought one of his kramers once.

  • Cool..can't wait the the new album to drop this year.

  • Hey Brandogyrl. Do you know if there are any details of when the NEW Album is out? Been waiting for this one ever since I got Bare my Naked Soul. One of the most amazing albums EVER. If anyone else has info, please let me know

  • The last time i heard jesse play like this was at Yankee Clipper club in rock island it is good to hear him with that fender blastin throught them marshals like he did in the old days I guess it's time to bust out with them killer charvels he had made at beardsly's music

  • I think he liked Jackson "Dinky's" as well

  • So "NuDelic"...Is "Jesse" still doing "club venues"?? What's he got up his "sleeves",for his "hardcore" fans??

  • All I can say is, stay tunmed!!!

    Jesse is a guitar god IMHO. As long as we fans recognize all others don't matter.

  • Basically!

  • since I been trying to figure out what my high school crush jesse johnson been doing through the years and I am ole school all the way, I need to know if you can tell me if he has been doing any concerts?

  • Its a "damn shame" this "extremely talented" guitarist is'nt reconized as one of the "best" guitarist,that has "strapped-up".His playing abilities are "right" up there with the "legends of rock guitarist"...in my book!

  • MR.JESSE JOHNSON reminds me so much of Jimi Hendrix. I dont care what anyone says...Once again, JESSE JOHNSON is a better guitarist than PRINCE by far

  • Thanks for posting such a great live clip.

    FYI...this tune isn't on the "Bare My Naked Soul" CD.

    The CD int fact wasn't released until the early part of 1996 if I'm not mistaken.

  • Since it's the same time period I just labled it so. Brian (the drummer) gave me a CD of the entire set and I just called it Bare My Naked Soul Live so I guess it's stuck in my mind. I will correct that error thnx

  • Thanks for the reply. Jeese's a great guitarist & very underrated. I've been an admirer for many years.

    How'd you become acquainted with the drummer if you don't mind me asking? This cd was sooo far off the radar that I didn't get it until almost a year after it's release. I read a total of 1 review for it & outside of that no coverage in the guitar press.

  • We're from the same town.

    BMNS is some of Jesse's best work IMHO.I didn't know about it either when it came out.

  • NuDelic...Can you post the rest of the vids of that set at the "Club Cabooze"...Man,the 2 vids that u posted are "SMOKIN"!!!

  • Most of the video is screwed up. Migh be on more good song.

  • Thanks now im bout 2 cry man please keep them coming

  • Holy Crap!!1 How old is "Bare my Naked Soul?" Thanks for posting one of my favorite Time members. Jesse!!!

  • More Jesse!!! Cool!!!

  • Thanks for uploading this!..Keep em coming. Jesse KikZ!
