in the movie, what is that thing Prince is kicking right before Big Chick tells him the boss is looking for him? - and why is he kicking it?

Isn't that like a pedel that changes the sound of your electric guitar? I think he was kicking it because he was frustrated.

He wanted 2 kick Apollonia after she dumped him 4 Morris, but since she wasn't around, the pedal was the closest thing.

*sigh*...a guitar effects pedal. actually it was a row of 'em, he stomped on a couple.

I think it's cute when he throws a hissy and stomps all over things like that.

Wow, seems as if someone is a little frustrated with all the Purple Rain questions...

Anyhow, here's another one...

Anyone know where to get a copy of the melody for Purple Rain (the song)? Particulary from the movie when Prince plays it on the piano, the afternoon he wakes up after he wrecked the basement.

Don't know if it's exactly the same as Prince played it in that scene, but the PR songbook has the sheet music for 'Purple Rain':

Ah yes. Warner Chapel Music at least used to release these music sheet books for most of their artists. I have them untill D&P. They contain simple and good sheet musci of the album songs, and some extra pics in some cases.

Don't know where you can find it but I learned playing that part from that scene on my piano after hearing over and over and over.. I love playing that part.

Yeah, same here. It's my favorite part of the movie. When i was I kid I would rewind it over and over again, until I got it just right on my toy Casio.
