Jugding from his injuries, it looks like he punched a wall after the event as this sort of damage can not be caused by another easily!

In other words...this gobshite is a liar...I hope the judge rides his ass right into a clinker were another will carry on with that ass-riding!

What the hell was Elton John doing at Prince's concert? Can't he afford his own damn guitar??

THIS accident happened to 2 lesbian girls in Denmark as well,

at the Prince concert in Forum, Copenhagen, in october 2010,

---- only back then it was Prince's bass, not his guitar....

Av! Vi fik Prince's bas i hovedet

To uheldige kvinder stod på det forkerte sted på det forkerte tidspunkt, da Prince i Forum kastede sin bas fra scenekanten ud til publikum

the article in danish...

Karina Bay Tollundgaard og kæresten Anja Tollundgaard fik et uventet minde med hjem fra Forum, hvor de onsdag var til koncert med Prince.

Hen mod slutningen af Prince's koncert i Forum gav funkmesteren en opvisning i ekvilibristisk basspil.

Da han var færdig med at blære sig på bassen, sendte han stafetten tilbage til sin danske bassist Ida, men som en gave til publikum på de forreste rækker kastede han sit plekter og efterfølgende sin bas ud til publikum.

- Min kæreste og jeg var i færd med at kigge på gulvet efter plektret, og lige da vi vender os om, får vi bassen i hovedet. Jeg bliver ramt af bassens hals, mens min kæreste får selve bassens krop i hovedet, siger Karina til Ekstra Bladet.

Både Karina og Anja blev trods buler og smerte til koncertens bitre ende. De blev efterfølgende undersøgt af spillestedets samaritter.

- Specielt min kæreste blev hårdt ramt. Hun fik omgående en kæmpestor, rød bule i panden, og jeg er selv stadig øm i panden. Samaritterne undersøgte os og skrev en rapport, og herefter tog vi hjem, siger Karina.

Slåskamp om bassen
Bassen blev efterfølgende konfiskeret af security-personalet, da der på det nærmeste opstod slagsmål om, hvem blandt publikum, der skulle have det eftertragtede trofæ med hjem.

- Efter bassen havde ramt os, kom fem-seks personer nærmest op at slås om den. Alle holdt stædigt fast i bassen og ville under ingen omstændigheder slippe den igen. Til sidst måtte vi tilkalde security-folkene, der konfiskerede bassen, siger Karina til Ekstra Bladet.

Karina kontaktede efter koncerten koncertarrangøren ICO Concerts for at høre, om hun og kæresten kan forvente en autograf, gratis øl eller en ispose, når de i aften drager til Herning for at høre Prince endnu engang.

- Det sjoveste kunne være, hvis vi kunne få hans autograf på samarit-rapporten, siger Karina til Ekstra Bladet.

ICO oplyser, at de på et møde i Herning vil fremlægge for Prince, hvad der er sket, og at de naturligvis giver en gratis øl eller to til Karina og hendes kæreste som plaster på såret i aften.

Looks like they got beat with an ugly stick instead of a guitar.

I feel so sorry for him, don't you just wana punch him out

grow a spine ya big baby, most peeps would give their left nut for a brief chance of holding Prince's guitar. He's probably not going to do that again now for fear of prosecution .......

I agree. Now it might spoil the tradition and fun of Prince letting fans touch his guitars at his shows. It's probably better safe than sorry not to do it anymore, and avoid a lawsuit from someone claiming injury because of it, seeing how that whiner is complaining about it, yet no one forced him specifically, to reach for the guitar. I just can't get over how anyone would think Prince's guitar is for keeps when he hands it through the audience, but then again you have folks like that delusional jackwipe who thinks it is.

Are you insulting yourself?

I mean: he caught the thing.

He gave it back and got a pick.

Then he went back to ask for the guitar.

How stupid is that?

Then don't return the guitar in the first place.

Right?

Next: you're at a show. The biggest things he gave away so far were towels and tambourines.

And you think that he will throw a guitar into the audience and forgte about it?

How much grasp of reality do you have about mr. I Pay My Taxes Late?

Have a read at http://motherjones.com/po...hart-graph and do some thinking by yourself about the reasons why P would act like that.

Out of the hundreds of concerts I've been to, not one musician (with all their millions in the bank) have Ever given away their guitars to a fan. Maybe a guitar pick or or drum sticks. How deluded one must be to think because the get to hold a musician's instrument that they get to go home with it.

One or two always fucks it up for the rest of us.

Prince should stop doing that.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if somebody intentionally tried to catch his guitar with their face, and then sue him for millions of dollars. You know it's gonna happen eventually.

What pisses me off is that this fan portraits himself like a "beaten up" victim. Everything he talks is super exaggerated. THAT WHAT PISSES ME OFF!

Why to involve the media, if he could just contact Prince just trough his lawyer if he wanted that guitar so bad??

Exactly. This guy is full of it. He put his foot in his mouth because he said he "went there as a concert goer, not for that experience", so if that's the case, why did he reach for the guitar? Did he buy it? Where's

his receipt? There is absolutely nothing on the ticket that stated there would be a "guitar giveaway" at the concert. Based on his bruises, which he claims he received from fighting for the guitar, then go after the people that fought him for it. I'm sure the cameras would show that.

Secondly, he doesn't seem too concerned about getting hurt, but more or less has his intention on getting that guitar. I'd like to know how he thinks he deserves a guitar that no one forced him to try and catch, and never belonged to him. Talk about delusional.

By the way, what is it with the last shows of both concert series, ending up in the press/media, but has nothing to do with reviews of the shows? First Kim's no-shaking ass, and now this jackwipe.

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!

If the guy can afford $738 concert ticket, he can go buy his own guitar.

keith urban gives away his guitars...i think tho that they are replicas or like cheap guitars...not really sure tho...

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

Really you guys? Blaming the guy that caught the guitar?

Period.

Thank you for being the voice of reason on this thread. It really is that simple.

I'd have wanted to keep the damn guitar, too.

I recall a couple of years ago when Prince was on Letterman promoting Lotusflower and he did the same thing to a guy in the audience. Same thing...Prince took it back. I think the guy should not expect to keep Prince's guitar but should be happy he had the experience of holding it for him.

I'd throw a guitar at this guy too!

NelsonR said:

that's funny, but I think it's cool when Prince throws his guitar like that

U mean to tell me that all the man has to do is throw it in the air and it floats til it hovers to prince like a darn frizbee? WOW! Yoda does have POWAH!!!!

Bit over the top complaining...but feel a bit sorry for him. The cuts were unnecessary, perhaps he can have tickets for a future show or something.

People must realise its only part of the show? surely!

Ahhh, logic.

And I agree with the poster above who said he/she would duck/cover, and let it drop to the ground. So would I.

How freaking entitled of people to think they are going to keep Prince's guitar???

I'm not surprised, though...welcome 2 America.

$740 of one ticket?

But BK, He made the choice of buying the tix at that price, without expecting a free guitar from it.

He should consider it as an honor to get bumped and scrapped at a Prince concert - he did in fact catch the guitar and I'm sure it wasn't thrown at him without Prince making good eye contact with him to catch it. He should blame the crazy fans that bumrushed to touch or catch the guitar. I see it as not Prince's fault and what do he think it is -Mardi Gras? Prince doesn't just throw things out in the crowd to keep -everyone who knows about his artistry KNOWS he does this and you have to give it back not catchers' keepers. @ the man who wants HIS guitar

Get ya own and quit whining - sissy pants!

It was all in good fun.

... some people are the type that 'sue' and some people are the type that are like 'meh'. I really question the validity of him getting 'jumped' by Prince Fans and all. Everything else is 'kinda' believable ... If you are a 'casual Purple Rain' fan.

He acts like a little kid, come on.

You should known better, Prince is never ever gonna give away his guitar!

I figure a law suit is coming down the pipe ...............

That dude should consider it an honour to hold and touch a guitar played by Prince....... other than the guitar tech.

It`s not everyday one gets to feel it up!!

if an onstage musician ever hurled a heavy object at me from the stage i'd duck and run. let it fall

What about Mayte in 1994 or 1995?

i'm just not into leaping up and catching flying objects at a concert

Serena said:

They need to add a line to the "No recording devices" warning on the tickets/signs and say "You don't keep the guitars, you ninnies!"

The dude with a pic of him with the guitar got it right. Catch it, Pause, Pose. . . lifetime memory!

When the guitar got caught about 10 feet from me a few years ago. . . I was trying to get over there just to touch it. Oh. . I would just die to have my picture taken with THE telly.
