Interesting Prince thread on a High Traffic Board

You guys should check it out and educate the newbies about what Prince is all about and how crazy and insane his fans are. This dude became a fan in 04 and apparently went to the O2 shows. I've directed them here and am directing you there. I am "BiggerBoat" on that forum.

Here's the OP over there...at least until Prince sues them and makes them take it down:

Good day people,


Since 2004 I became a Prince fan, it all happened because of MTV, something I currently thought couldn’t be possible… But anyway I became a fan of the midget and became a fan of the music. As an idiot I obtained all his 42 albums and somewhere I started with an album, listened to it and gave an random stamp on it.

Somehow I became a Fan over the years and learning to listen to music. For example at first I really hated the album “The Rainbow Children”, but over time it became my favorite album. Now I see it as an master piece.

In this topic I want to mention the name Prince, The artist I love so much. Recently MJ died and well currently Prince isn’t in a innovative mood, he is smoothing out the sound he created in his own unique ways. So I thought, Let’s make a post to remind you there is still a great dude alive. I cannot place video’s because Prince is very anal about that stuff. He sued his fansites because they love Prince and a very known fansite shut down because of the cease and desist letters.

Some random facts:
Prince plays a lot of instruments, they say around 24… Drums, Bass, Guitar, etc.
Prince is known for his masterful guitar playing, but he started out with the piano, in an interview he claimed to play the batman intro first.
The DVD’s you find in the store are not very good, but the one I like is Sign “o” the Times, Purple Rain is a funny movie to watch.


If you want to hear Prince try to these albums and I will post a reason why:

Dirty Mind.

Prince his third album. What's funny is that prince started out very young and he blasted all his albums on the other two albums. Dirty mind is the start of new prince music… whats so funny is that it has this demo sound. Prince never made a smooth round, just raw demo music… It’s awesome music. Funny fact around it, is that Prince does the songs live, but every time in a different way. On the One Nite Alone Live album he does a great version of When u Were Mine

Favorite tracks: Dirty mind, When u Were Mine.

Sign “o” The Times.

If you have the change, get an Vinyl copy, the cd has issues with over compression. It’s Prince at a mind-blowing creativity. It has some really good tracks on it and even the B-sides are amazing. If you have the change listen to the song: Shockadelic, it’s a B-side but so good.

Favorite tracks: Sign “o” the times, I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man


LoveSEXY.

A fuse of spiritual and sexual energy and you get Lovesexy. Prince ment it as an spiritual trip and he does it… just listen to it as a whole big piece of music.
Favorite tracks: Alphabet St, Anna Stesia.

That’s it folks, that should cover my favorite artist for now… If your looking for more Prince info, check http://www.princevault.com. It's an growing wiki made by die-hard Prince fans....

So, I hope you will listen to some of the music and give me feedback or ask me something. I can explain most of the things that are about Prince.
