Here's another question just being asked yet again:

Q: Why doesn't Prince have a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?

A: The stars are privately paid for, almost anyone of any fame can have one if they pay for it, and usually choose to do it for extra publicity around the time they are promoting something. They are not an 'award' for outstanding achievement or anything like that. Since Prince could clearly afford one and would hardly be denied such a request, we can only conclude that it doesn't interest him to have one.

Thanx!! Is there somewhere that a person can get a complete compilation of all or atleaset a large number of P videos. That would be great if something like that is available nod


Unfortunately not.

There's the Hits VHS/DVD release from 1993 - but it only has about 15 videos - still widely available. And several VHS releases like the D&P video collection, the Gett Off EP and 3 Chains O' Gold, other than which you're gonna have to trade/download everything.

im pretty sure the stars can *not* pay for it themselves. if memory serves, it has to be a fan organization. but in most cases the studios or labels will filter the money through the fan club. since prince no longer has a label to coordinate its now left to his fans. the only stipulation pertaining to the entertainer is that they agree to appear at the ceremony.

Q: I saw a clip from the Tokyo Nude Tour where they play a bit of "What Have You Done For Me Lately", and Prince says "who wrote that?" Oh my God, did Prince write that song for Janet Jackson? Did Jam & Lewis steal it from Prince? Is that what Prince was getting at when he did this?

A: No. If anything, it was just a hastily thought-out sideways homage to Jam & Lewis' success at the time. No subtext that anyone's aware of. No controversy.

Is there a color version of Under the Chreey Moon?

The Answer is ...there is no release of this movie in color, nor are there any "DVD Easter Eggs" that change the movie to color that anyone has discovered.

I love this thread biggrin
Learned so much already!

I dont consider myself a newb, but I always wanted to know:

Why is Apollonia 6 and Vanity 6 not Vanity5 or Apollonia 39??

Whats the significance of 6 and is it true that P didn't think Vanity could sing?

also, Who make Prince's clothes and does he ever wear regular designer stuff
or does everything have to be fitted?

How many records has Prince sold statewide, and world wide?


Thanks in advance! biggrin


6 is an "evil" number, Biblically speaking, whereas 7 is the number of perfection... 6 is human, falling just short of Godliness, and 7 is divine.

Maybe an explanation of Prince's use of numbers would be helpful?



Wasn't 6 the number of their breasts as illustrated in 3 x 2 = 6?

Here is the process:

"The Walk of Fame is overseen by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.

"The process is frequently initiated by the performer's management or reps; however, anyone can submit an application to the Chamber nominating a celebrity for the honour with the approval of the celebrity or their representation. Recently, it has become increasingly common for fan groups to sponsor Walk of Fame stars.

During the course of a given year, the Chamber accepts nominations; the selection committee announces their picks in June for the following year's inductees. An average of 20 nominees are selected yearly to receive a star in one of five categories (film, television, recording, stage or radio), from a typical 200 or more applications received. Once the celebrity is selected, payment of $15,000 is required to seal the deal. This fee is used by the Chamber to pay for the plaque as well as the cost of the induction ceremony.

Did Prince write jingles for Pepsi pepsi and Coca-Cola coke ?.
[Edited 4/21/05 15:11pm]


No-ones answered this then ,I'm not 100% sure of this , feel free to correct me:

A:Prince is registered with ASCAP as having written a song entitled "Coca Cola". It's apparently not the "Always Coca Cola" jingle we are all familiar with ,which is registered seperately .For all we know it could be a jingle that was never used by Coke for any commercial. Just because its registered with ASCAP doesnt mean it was ever used. All that is known FOR SURE is Prince did write a song called "Coca Cola". Heres The Library of Congress Copyright Catalog entry:

PAu-1-686-476 (COHM) ITEM 285 OF 468 IN SET 8
TITL: Coca Cola / w & m Prince Rogers Nelson (aPrince)
CLNA: Controversy Music
DCRE: 1992 DREG: 22Oct92
APTI: Coca Cola jingle.
ECIF: 3/M


further , there is an unreleased Prince song in circulation called "Uh
Huh," .Pepsi's slogan around 1991-92 was "Uh-huh, you got the right one baby"), and a song was used in TV ads similar to the Prince outtake ,performed by Ray Charles and a couple of back-up singers. The story goes, Pepsi gave Prince an undisclosed amount of money ( the rumours were it was $7 million ) to " beef the song up" for them. It seems the song was not originally written by Prince though.Prince's version of the song was never released and he did it before it was used by Pepsi.In summary , Prince was paid something by Pepsi to improve a song which they then used in an advert with Ray Charles.

metalorange said:

This comes up a lot - How many instruments can Prince play?

I'm not answering that one either.

Basically, Prince plays drums and other percussion, guitars - including basses, and piano and other keyboards.

Prince was promoted from the start of his recording career as a multi-instrumentalist, playing all of the instruments on his recordings. In early publicity, the figure 27 was sometimes quoted. This was borne out on the liner notes to his very first album, For You', where approximately 30 different instruments are listed as played by him. The liner note list includes the various pieces of percussion and different types of keyboard used in the recording.

Performances of string and horn arrangements have been contributed by others on his recordings (although Prince sometimes takes writing credit), and there is conflicting evidence that Prince plays wind instruments with any competence. He blows a harmonica on the extended version of 'Raspberry Beret', but the same instrument heard on 'Thieves In The Temple' is a sampled recording (not Prince). There have been occasional reports that Prince has been seen or heard to play a saxophone, but there is no recorded evidence of which I'm aware to support this. In a NPGMC online interview with Eric Leeds in 2003, Eric stated that Prince could not play saxophone.

An often asked one is "Is Prince touring this year?" which is an ongoing answer so I'm not sure how to answer that.

Tour dates are usually announced in advance via the official web-site at www.npgmc.com

NPGMC members should also receive an email advising them of tour dates (although email noticification cannot be gauranteed).

Inevitably, any such official tour announcement is posted at unofficial Prince-related websites such as prince.org very quickly, and has normally featured in the 'latest news' and 'upcoming dates' sections of the prince.org home page.

Here is one,

What is his real name and how did he get such an unusual moniker?

Yes, He was born Prince Rogers Nelson. His parents were in the jazz group Prince Rogers Trio and his father, the leader of the group carried the stage name Prince. In fact since John Nelson was better known as "Prince" Prince himself was called "Skipper" in his early years, and "Roger" during his years in school.

Somebody feel free to correct me if I got any part of this wrong.

OK, I have a FAQ to add, just after reading this thread about the A6 album on CD - http://www.prince.org/msg/7/142820

In addition to an official discography - a related artists discography would come in handy.

AND what has been released in what format (along with catalogue numbers?) - AND to look out for counterfeit items (on eBay for example - the common V6 and A6 CDs).

AND related to this, a little info on the release of the Black album, and the many bootlegs that are STILL being bought by people looking for the official release. Also links to where to commonly get the official releases of TBA, TGE and Exodus from - i.e. eBay, Amazon, GEMM etc.

That's a few ideas there. wink

I disagree. The film idea certainly seemed to be around, but what is clear, is what was printed or put in a show.
Spooky Electric seems to be the Devil, and Camille seems to be Prince.

Well that's true since "Spooky Electric" changed during that "LoveSexy" thing, and with that the whole idea of "Camille" changed (from being a hermaphrodite alter-ego (the true prince or then just O + >) to some "evil" side of Prince...)

This would make sense based on the tour programme and the live show. Prince was Camille in the show, killed him off, and was reborn as Prince.

He blew the devil away. The show even originally ended with positivity. Don't let spooky get your soul, just like it had done to Camille.

OK, true, forget I mentioned anything previously since most fans probably take the shows and such as "cannon"...
Personally I liked the original, consistent idea alot more, but then I'm not a "LoveSexy" fan...

ok well techinically prince killed camille off during lovesexy..but she still makes appearances, tho probly uncredited..like come on and baby knows

Maybe... I remember people speculating that "Partyman" was a Camille song (mainly because of the B-side and the obvious high pitched voice... So who knows...)

something about vanquishing the beloved (mayte's) 7 guardians so they can be together in terms of the story behind the prince album . However theres the
more interesting anaalysis as regards the biblical references in the song , which somebody did a really good analysis of in an edition of the PPML ages back , is the PPML still archived on this site , I can't seem to access it ??

Found it!

Heres a proper analysis someone did a few years back on the PPML , thankfully I printed it out at the time as it was quite impressive , I've just retyped it out :

Q.Whats the song 7 about ?

7 : An analysis with direct reference to Revelations

All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die

All 7 refers to the 7 seperate heads of the dragon (Rev 12.3) symbolising Satan and representing his evil empire on earth .Basically the chorus of the song is an anthem denouncing Satan and alluding to the consummation of heaven and earth (Rev 21.1-3)

And I saw an angel come down unto me
In her hand she holds the very key
Words of compassion, words of peace
And in the distance an army's marching feet (1,2,3,4 - 1,2,3,4)
But behold, we will watch them fall

Here, prince sees an angel (Rev 1.1-2) holding the key of David (Rev 3.7,9.1) which opens and shuts the very gates of Hell (Rev 20.1) .The next 2 lines combine God's promise (Words Of Compassion ...) with a warning of Satan's approaching hoard.God's promise is the original covenant as established with Abraham (Gen 17.2-8) ,repeated through the entire bible , and continues to echo throughout the verses of the Revelation .Satans hoard (Rev 19.19) is comprised of those numerous cursed people and false angels who follow him in his campaign against God ( Rev 20.7-9).In the final line of the above quote , the angel consoles prince by revealing that , in the end , God will triumph and Satan will indeed fall.

And we lay down on the sand of the sea
And before us animosity will stand and decree
That we speak not of love only blasphemy
And in the distance, 6 others will curse me
But that's alright, (that's alright)
4 I will watch them fall

prince is referring to Satan's final confrontation against God and His Saints (Rev 12.8 - 13.6) .This reference pertains to the relevant episode in which Satan (still portrayed as a dragon with 7 heads ) "...took his stand on the sand of the seashore"(Rev 13.1 ) inciting his followers to forsake love and "..utter blasphemies against God" (Rev 13.6).
prince even adds to this titanic scene the idea of the dragon rousing its masses (presumably speaking through one head) while its 6 other heads spew curses at its people.The verse closes in the same manner as did the previous verse ...the angel maintains that the faithful will see Satan fall.



And we will see a plague and a river of blood
And every evil soul will surely die in spite of
Their 7 tears, but do not fear
4 in the distance, 12 souls from now
U and me will still be here - we will still be here

Now ,prince brings us to one of the latest stages of the Revelation in which good (God) finally triumphs over evil (Satan) forever . This vision involves 7 plagues (the seven bowls of God's wrath :Rev 15.1) that are successively afflicted upon the world. The "river of blood" refers to the 3rd plague in which all the world's rivers and springs of water become blood (Rev 16.3) .At this point ,every evil soul is doomed to die in spite of their "weeping and wailing" (Rev 18.9).As for the "7 tears" , theres a rather long passage (Rev 18.9 -19) immediately following the aforementioned plagues in which the defeated kings , merchants , shipmasters , seafarers ,sailors and such cry out against their loss .These cries are their 7 tears ,and while there are 8 distinct cries ,there are only 7 DIFFERENT cries ...because one is repeated.Finally prince is assured he has nothing to fear in the face of all these calamities and cries of woe , because "12 souls from now " (his expression for a very long time basically) ,God's faithful will remain alive on the earth.

There will be a new city with streets of gold
The young so educated they never grow old
And a, there will be no death 4 with every breath
The voice of many colors sings a song
That's so bold
Sing it while we watch them fall


Finally prince narrates the final stage of revelation : the birth of a new heaven and a new earth. "The new city" is called the new Jerusalem (or the Holy City , Rev 21.2) which God will present from Heaven to his people . As prince reiterates , this holy city will have streets paved with gold (Rev 21.21) and its citizens will never die (Rev 21.4).In this new world , even the "young" will have the wisdom that Adam and Eve lacked and that would have prevented the shared path to death (Gen 2.17) ."They will never grow old " as did Eden's children after eating of the fabled forbidden fruit.
The voice of many colours most likely refers to the many voices of those who will inhabit the new Jerusalem following God's judgement . The Bible says that those chosen will be of every nation , speaking every language and comprised of every tribe .And their song will be one of praise to God himself.

Now here's a real FAQ!

That f-ing James Brown concert footage with MJ and P. high on goofballs. There must be a thread about that every couple of days!

Thing is, the footage is Sooooo old, but I think because it's a relatively small clip, and there are 3 big artists involved it's been circulated A LOT on filesharing programs, so people, who weren't around before the net when we used to trade VHS, keep coming across it.

Oh, and the Muppets too, that sometimes comes up - as in "Prince was on the Muppets? WTF" lol - So I would add those two as FAQs smile
