I was just gonna start a thread about this. It's an alternate video with only the performance part. I like it much better this way. Kicked my ass!

And you can really hear how differently it's mixed on here. I hope this version is on the single.

nice vid

I like this version very much.

Is that just remixed with different added vocals, or is it completely re-recorded?

Imago said:

Dunno. The guitars are way louder though, huh?

MUCH better video!! Guitar sounds awesome!! No need for silly pointless storylines, just him on the guitar performing was perfect!

Amen. Much more mugging for the camera too. Love it!

You know, I saw the video on HQ and was wondering why I was enjoying the hell out of myself this time while watching it on npgmc.. Then you mentioned it, there's no storyline here, just the performance. Even the sound and vocals are superior. Rocking video.

I LOVE PRINCE!!!

Thank you.

1.1 million copies sold so far, wow, thats platinum.

As someone said, the figures are based on what is shipped to stores rather than sold. However, that figure might refer to world sales? In which case it could still fall short of gold/platinum status in the individual countries it is sold in.

muuuch better.

i still think it's weird that the lighting is so dark, but whatever. i think the video as a straightforward performance clip is SO much of an improvement over that 'million days' stuff.

I haven't seen the other version, but I did enjoy this. I liked the slight audio changes in the song as well (with the girls singing along and all that).

The one obvious problem with this video, is that it's a performance video in a small stage setting. Therefore, it would've made sense 2 simply release the SNL performance as the video.

I like the recorded version, and would rather see a creative video with a story line. Maybe like with a furious woman burning up his clothes, smashing up his ride... well... maybe not the ride...

Peace.

The video is now located in the cyberclips room and there is a new splash screen on the welcome page of npgmc.com. The message on the home page is a thank you from Prince to the purple ticket winners.

1.1 million copies shipped.

Who the hell are the band members? I've been away from npgmc.com for a while I guess...
