I got Prince's guitar pick from Metro gig!! The metro "aftershow" gig in Melbourne was an extroadinary experience and lucky for me I have a very special momento from said show. After Prince finished the gig my sister and I watched the road crew pack up the NPG's gear, amps ect. and I noticed the 'head' roadie - is his name Takumi? (I'm pretty sure that is wrong!) - well I noticed him pick up a guitar plectrum near the drum riser on the floor. Then amazingly we made eye contact and he kindly walked over to me and gave it to me - I was so grateful! It is a white guitar pick with Prince engraved in shiny purple with a pearl sheen - I love it! I still cannot believe I've got Prince's guitar pick - anyone wanna buy it? ...haha just kiddin' - I could never part with it...
...thanks Prince roadie dude! you're a legend. | |

Like you when I got the first one I thought it was the coolest thing ever. [This message was edited Wed Oct 29 6:43:29 PST 2003 by lovemachine] | |

Wow. that's fantastic lovemachine - how do you manage to score so many guitar picks?! Well, I sure am pleased to have my very own and I can't forsee myself getting another one anytime soon! I last saw Prince play Melbourne 11 years ago so the odds of me scoring 'another' guitar pick are highly remote - hence that is why it is sooo valuable to me.
Oh, and under my username I've scanned a photo of the guitar pick - but its a little small to see ...ah well. | |

BTW when i first read the post i thought the topic was 'I got Prince's guitar from Metro...' i almost had a heart attack! | |

I got a handful of them last year and gave them to friends. Its great to make people happy.  "Peace and Benz -- The future, made in Germany"  | |

Don't be so sure... He has used these same picks ever since he changed his name back to "Prince" in 2000... Some of those symbol picks are pretty rare since he used a shitload of different variations of it... Neversin. O(+>NIИ<+)O

i got a few of them "prince" plectrums at the UK gigs last year. he been using then since 2000, and i got one in 1999 that was a holographic symbol. also got a "love god" one from way back..
takumi is very generous in giving plectrums out to us fans  | |

yes Takumi is very kind, he gave me a pick that was on the floor near the guitar's at the first Sydney show. Let's just say it made my night even better cause i have been wanting one for ages. | |
