[Edited 2/11/13 6:29am]

go to my account on 3rdeyegirl, it's a small link at the bottom of the page and when you see the video title right click on it and save as. If it says you don't have any download lefts it means you streamed it 3x so email customer service and they will fix it.

hope this helps, it took 30 mn for me to get the email nd check your spam folder too just in case..

Okay first off the download experience was once again flawless. P finally made it easy like it should be.

Seconds now that I've seen the video I'm even more pissed off that he did not play this LIVE at the Grammys

Think this version is cool? Playing it live last night would've been short of AMAZING!

tsk tsk what a pity

life can be so shitty

And seriously P you should fire this director who shot this video of these clowns dancing! horribly I might add...30 takes?? really? really...

However the performance is excellent and really the best version of the song.

I love when he sings...

And now without further ado

Ladies and gentlemen

Donna for U!

Man this would have been so good last night. That wasted opportunity is to going to bother me for a while.

Finally, I have already edited my video with just the music, no stupid stupid dancing and just great shots of the band and the...

Intro solo is now an outro!!!! Just like it should have been last night.

[Edited 2/11/13 8:27am]

You probably had this thought in mind, Prince likely directed this video. lol I don't think he wants to give Grammy's any more free labor for his performances. falloff

At least Bart is paying attention.

And what he writes is true.

Of course people don't like his delivery as criticism is still very unexpected.

hey RDHULL

u can go fuck yourself.. finally, i really like a prince track.

Well thats fine and dandy..knock yourself out. It IS a rockin tune. But you stated its was the "best best best" thing he had done in years and more crazed hyperbole.

Do you fucking even know what hyperbole means?

Man fuck some of yall for 'trying' to turn me into Bart.

So RD to sum it up. The actual music tracks are fine. But pass on the video? I just don't want to waste my time. smile

Bart isn't paying a bit of attention. He has a personal vendetta against Prince and carries it out on this website because he knows Prince/his people read this site.

Prince could record a song that has the secret to curing cancer and Bart would screech about it being "the same old stuff".

I wish he would go away. It'd be one thing if his criticism was constructive, but you know as well as I do that all he's doing is carrying on a personal grudge with Prince.

I saw the same old same old at 20pr1nc3.com, went to 3rd Eye Girl, bought it, didn't get the email, but noticed the link on the order recieved page, made the mistake of clicking download, went back and right click/saved it, took nearly 10 minutes to download, watched...

The intro was corny, the dancing was silly, but the performance rocked! Worth the measley $1.77...

Laughing my ass of at those that are pissed it isn't free. I thought the consensus among us was we weren't interested in a membership site where we didn't know what we were getting, and prefered a site where we could buy, or not buy what we want at reasonable prices. That's what we have here. The freebies so far have been great promotion, but, we had to know there'd be stuff for sale, right?

wink

And now, repeat on that video... guitar headbang

Absolutely right, too many people have the idea it's their god-given right that you don't pay for music. We all get paid for the work that we do(of course we should all get paid more..), and just like you and I wouldn't bother fronting up if there were no dollars, either will these sites.

These sites are beta version to test whether people will put their money where their mouth is and ultimately whether the model will be sustainable.

In a positive development there's even a choice of formats, which will hopefully get extended to the audio product too.

It was rather amusing that some people spent all day on the 10th moaning about when is it going to drop, but when it came to parting with their money realised they didn't really want it that bad.

Not that I'm advocating that people should blindly buy everything put up for sale on the sites.

You dont like what's available this time, move on, maybe next time there will be something that you would like to buy.

Personally I've bought the single because I like the song, and this live video because I want me some raw guitars. guitar

Prince delivered on time with product, price and no cowbells. thumbs up!

I didn't buy the other 3 products because I found them unsuitable.

... and for those trying to shutdown discussion. This site being a forum, it's ineveitable that you may come across opinions where you disagree, "toughen up princesses!"

Another good version of Screwdriver. Too bad that the intro with the dialogue is silly and badly acted, it drags down the overall impression.

Does anyone know of a free program that I can use to edit out the "extra" (non-music) parts? I know how to convert the mp4 to an mp3 but I'm clueless when it comes to "editing" that mp3 down. I get much want an mp3 of the live version of this song, but I'm not at all interested in a video, so I'm waiting to buy it until I know I can make it into something I will listen to. [Edited 2/11/13 6:58am]

VLC is your friend, my video has been converted to Audio and edited from door closing to give 5:50 of uninterrupted guitars.

I thought that performance of the song itself was stellar. However, I had to wince at the "dancers" doing the twist. Not at all visually appealing. It would have been good it it had just been the intro and the performance. Speaking of the intro, WTF. The girls, I expected bad acting. But wwhy does prince pick guys who look like they think they're cool, happening, whatever, and come off the exact opposite? The brotha doing the talking was wayyyy too much.

Criticism is sometimes justified but Bart criticises everything single thing. If there is no joy to be found in anything Prince does, there's really no reason to be posting here.

And what he writes isn't true. At best it's his opinion but mostly it's just hate for the sake of it.

If Prince released a flawlessly remastered box sets with bonus outtake discs, it would still be shit because someone else did it before.

Well, I'm glad I didn't pay for the video, but I think it's a fair price for a video. shrug

Madonna's "Justify My Love" cost more than that in the 80/90s, so I don't see the asking price here as insane. It was just that I didn't care for the video. I like the low budge feel, but I dislike cameras that are still-shot for scenes like the ones in the video--it makes it look not only low budget, but amateurish.

I do like the fact that this is now yet ANOTHER version of ScrewDriver--he chose to record the video live and not just lip sync it.

Overall, this is really how he should be selling his material--just make the website easier to understand with standard menus, etc.

The Sexy M.F. VHS that had only the 1 long-form video cost about $10 if I remember correctly. Of course, IN MY OPININION, it was worth more than this simply because it was a physical product that could be collected and/or resold as opposed to a digital file that "disappears in a day"...

Anyway, point being, the price is fair.

wink

wait...who the hell is 3rdeyegirl? I don't keep up with this shit as much as I used to...is she the drummer? And even so, the brotha still comes off as trying way too hard to be cool, which is, of course, the anthesis of actually being cool.

i don't know why anyone who's been a prince fan for over a decade would

be surprised or disappointed by this video.

come on, the second that trailer went live you could tell it was another one

of those typical paisley park productions.

i guess i was just happy that this time 'round no pretty girls were making

desparate phonecalls and throwing up on the carpet or beautiful women

going mad rocking back n forth with their hands on their heads screaming

at their computer screens smile

but, like most other shoddily acted PP productions, the music at least rocks

along nicely. great version of the song indeed.

however, the intro and the ending of the video has left me trembling and

sweating in fear he's gonna film "grafitty bridge part 2"

please not another band rivalry flick lol

instead of that skit, i would have loved if he'd just put up the whole of the

rehearsal (including bambi and god knows what else). he wouldn't have

had to get in those people to dance either, just roll tape on prince and the

girls. that would have made for a cool little film to own.

only slight criticism i have toward the actual song is that it's a shame we

can only get the video and it doesn't come with an audio file of the song.

that would have made it a lot better, to just have this live performance as

an mp3 as well. but i guess we can remedy that by just converting.

and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

I just saw it.

Holy shit.

The performance is alright, but even that isn't really enough for me to bother paying to download it and convert it to audio.

Everything else about it is straight up embarrassing. More than usual, for Prince videos even.

I see the age limit they put on the open call for dancers/extras really hindered them. The dancing scenes really ought to have more than 15 people on a big soundstage doing this dance. And I didn't really understand the point of the intro.

I don't get the age restriction, at all. I mean...it's not like you could actually see what the people looked like.

it does seem like only a very small crowd showed up and i think

at least 2 of them are professional dancers that were probably

hired.

i didn't really understand why they put those shots in at all,

because it just looked like what it looked like: only a few people,

doing a silly dance on a huge sound stage.

would have been better even to have only the girl who dances

in the screwdriver lyrics video dance in the middle of the stage

in a spotlight.

now it looks like 'oh wow, 14 people showed up at paisley park

for the videoshoot and at leat 4 of them look like they just came

hoping for a free lunch and a packet of marlboro's'.

and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

Okay, I just saw it, and I'm glad I didn't give up my personal information to buy it.

Buying a video isn't something I would do anyway. I would buy a DVD (or Blu-Ray) of a collection of videos or a live concert.

The only part I liked was Prince's hand gesture (where he beckoned the band to follow him to the soundstage).

What Prince should do is release the lyric video and promote it heavily, followed by a new album.

If Prince stays with all digital downloads from this point on, I'll be saving some money in the long run.

yeah, I don't imagine I will be purchasing a video to watch on a computer.

I do purchase downloads, but whatever the format, I would much prefer an entire album. Hopefully the song is just a preview. Single songs just don't do much for me.
