dnaplaya said: DavidEye said: Slash of Guns N Roses---he was pissed because,when he saw Prince backstage at the American Music Awards in 1990,Prince just walked on by with his entourage and didn't say anything."I didn't really care.He looked like a fag that night anyway",Slash said.
If he really didn't care, he wouldn't mention the incident at all. He would just move on. The very fact that he has to talk about would suggest that it did indeed affect him That's the year GNR showed up plastered to the awards...remember when they presented half cocked and in the bag...they made a fool of themselves. No wonder Prince didn't give them the time of day. | |

Elvis Costello not true. Elvis loves Prince, he even covered "Pop Life". Nope..he TRIED to cover Pop Life and P didnt let him as Elvis' version radically reconstructed the song...(it probably was brilliant)...so Elvis changed it further and added new lyrics and called it "The Bridges You Burn".... ....nice going P!.... | |

Morrissey. I'm not sure if I spelled his name correctly. This was a while back, so he may feel differently now. He said that Prince and his music was irrelevent. I've only seen dude perform once (on SNL I think) and he sucked. | |

Often he is quoted as being deadly serious by the media when in fact he had his tongue firmly in his cheek. *wonders if anyone dare make a quip about his tongue being in between someone else's cheeks* He just made fun of Prince's appearance. He said Prince looked like a midget dipped in oil and rolled in pubic hair. Yeah, that's the one! See that's why you gotta love Boy George, he's very very funny! | |

I only say that because of the amount of alcohol and drugs he said he did back in the day. | |

fartman said: STING. he once said in an interview that he didnt like him cuz he had no sense of humour and that he needed 2 get one.
what an idiot! prince humilliated sting once onstage in an aftershow playing with ron wood and bill wyman. ron wood said prince was trying to make sting loose the rhythm all the time and sting felt like an amateur musician. he finally left the stage. ron said prince was so cruel with sting. maybe it was cuz he stole miles davis bass man 2 join him on tour.... [Edited 2/3/05 2:24am] Defraud those posers! Sting is making it on the quality of the songs, not really the quality of his voice-- Roxanne would've kicked major amounts of Ass if Prince would've done it.

Prince is just perfect at making the songs match the artists' style "Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies -

So tell me.... Why is this man important? Okay, I'm biased. I LOVE MORRISSEY. He's a witty poet. He used to be in a group called the SMITHS. I don't know where to begin.....he is very sarcastic and depressing. He has songs like SING ME TO SLEEP, I think it's about suicide. The song that really got me into him was THIS CHARMING MAN. I was in high school and it was the first song I really heard where one man is praising another man in sexual way. It wasn't graphic just romantic to me. Some of his lyrics have sent me into fits of laughter. I just wish his last 3 cd's would've been better. Miguel MyeternalgrattitudetoPhil&Val.Herman said "We want sweaty truckers at the truck stop!

mrdespues said: PurpleKnight said: Trent Reznor.
something tells me with the Prince influence in NIN's music that Trent doesn't bear a grudge. Trent told a story of how they were walking past each other in a hallway and Trent said hi, and Prince snubbed him and kept walking. Trent mentioned it in an interview and said "I don't care who you are, no one should treat ppl like that." [Edited 2/3/05 10:02am] The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

mrdespues said: rudeboynpg said: Rick James said "Prince is mentally disturbed. You cant take his music seriously. He sings songs about oral sex and incest. Something else, he doesnt want to be black. My job is to keep reality over this little creep. And if he doesnt like what I'm saying he can kick my ass. He's so fare out of touch, it makes me angry." remember, he said that when they were rivals. prince was taking in rick's audience....i bet he got over it eventually. Yes, he did say these things. And he said that Prince wants to be a white woman. But really, that was a long time ago. Earlier last year, Rick seemed to humble himself. He actually gave Prince props for Musicology and called him a "true funk soldier." I do think that Rick was insanely jealous of Prince, but he ended up sounding like he respects Prince's talent if not his music. About Keith, I think similar applies: he respects Prince as a musician but not his personality, which is certainly understandable. In sum, I think this might be the case with most people. They respect Prince, they think he's a musical genius although they might not appreciate his music and/or attitude. Trent Reznor likes Prince, again perhaps not his personality. | |
