Everybody... be cool!

We all read reports earlier in the year from the US shows about people acting up in the soundchecks and so on, causing disruptions to both Prince's entourage and to the other concert-goers. I know it's been a long time since Prince was here (and some of us have never heard him live!).

Wouldn't it be nice if our shows all went super-smooth? Nobody stealing other peoples seats or making a scene by trying to make Prince listen to their demo CDs and all that nonsense?

If we act right it increases the odds of getting another world tour next year, plus it'll be more enjoyable for everyone.

OK

Gooey puts his sanddollar away

aw, okay!

Gooey is currently thinking about soakers

always wanted to make Prince wet

Gooey is working on his questions

Gooey; "Prince! Why don't you wear underwear?"

or; "So, I think God stinks!"

Anybody else some kewl suggestions?

Here here! Look-a-likes and gift bringers... BE GONE!

Yep I agree - When it comes 2 seat stealing and a nasty scrum, I'd b mighty p***d as my wife will be 8 months pregnant on 4/10 so is gonna need 2 take it easy! C u all in Wethers @ 1!

here here!

And could we all get to the venue at a normal time, like a hour before?

Not start the queueing at 9am so Princes dick can be seen more closely.

That goes for you Cloud 9

TOTALLY agree. Were not jumped up Yanks, lets keep it British.

Can we have 10 commandments we can all agree on?

1. Thou shall not try to give demos to Prince and the band.

2. Thou shall not give home made gifts

3. Thou shall not bake a cake for Prince

4. Thou shall not dress in stupid lookalike outfits

5. Thou shall not steal seats. You got one, sit in it.

6. Thou shall not start queueuing hours before we need too.

7. Thou shall not scream out "Prince I love you". For a start, it ruins the quality of the bootleg recording.

8. Thou shall not keep screaming "WWWOOOAAAHHH" like they do in America. This is irratating and again, ruins the recording!

9. Thou shall not run like crazed animals the moment the doors are open.

10. Thou shall not ask questions like "Prince! R U married!"

Okay, here a real answer.

I think you should let people just be themselves. Even if they go a little kookoo over seeing Prince.
Don't let any other persons silly behaviour ruin your own experience. Otherwise I would have never had a kewl Prince concert...

I already have my own thought provoking tongue in cheek t-shirt designed...he'll react to that one for sure...

I think we should try to let everyone be themselves, but not at the expense of making it worse for others. If Prince gets pissed off, it might not be as enjoyable.

I fear a bunch of people, all trying to ask him an "intelligent" question about religion, just so they can think "Hey, Prince thought my question was clever" and "Prince wanted to speak to me!".

Gooey. I like your idea of a t-shirt. Do you think Prince will like british humour?

I'm going to get a t-shirt with the slogan. "My Dad went to London, and all I got was an overpriced ticket to see some has-been moody midget".

On the back, I'll get "The opposite of "The Rainbow Children" is a good album.

I'm sure he'll see the funny side.

And my question will be..

"Excuse me Mr Nelson. Where the fuck are my other 3 albums?"

U see SquirrelMeat... here we go! "Oooo I wonder wot Prince will say when he sees my T-shirt. Oooo did u c that he smiled at ME!"

That's 3 COMPACT DISCS, Squirrelmeat, and I think you'll find that particular agreement fulfilled with the ONA Live boxset... lol!

Yeah, you are really kewl. LoL

Let me have fun with my tee.

You can sit next to me and look down on everybody around you enjoying themselves.

LALA

I just remembered something.

Did anyone go to the "Tube" recording in Newcastle?

There was a girl, in the front, with a single rose, drooling over prince's toes.

After Prince left the stage, a "Stagehand" came up to her and said "Prince would like you to come backstage and meet him".

Well, she almost fell down dead. Then, just as she began to leave her spot, the stagehand started laughing and joking with another guy.

It was not true, and they wanted to see the reaction of a fanatic. I felt sorry for her, but it was sooo funny!

People really should get a life!

Are you sure it was a rose, I thought it was a silver wand she was waving, we christened her Wand Girl.

She was near that guy who kept shouting cringy comments at Prince like "Play The War, long version" Prince just smiled sweetly and let them get on with it, I just hope they dont anything as cringy at the soundchecks...yuk.

You are so right! The memory has come flooding back! It was some home made wand, out of tin foil wasn't it?

And the guy who requested the war was about 7 foot high.

Me and my mate nicknamed him "tall twat".

starbass said:

I'd forgotten about Wand Grrl.

Saxjedi said:

Ditto.

You mean I've written 7 extra verses to "Wedding Feast" for nothing!

...and there were enough vocal parts for everybody to have a turn.

I'll be the guy wearing the tshirt with a close up of Prince's arse from gett off from the MTV VMA's. Hopefully he'll be amenable to my request that he and I perform a bhangra cover version of the "Cheeky Girls"
