This was in 83 btw Prince came up...really fucking nervous (James being his idol and all) I have no idea what he was doing with the guitar during the end of his (dare I say "solo") the "whipping of the nose" thing...I would like to think it's just a play on the way pimp's act. Pimp's always wipe their noses...Morris did the same thing too. Could also be a nervous twitch some ppl have. (some ppl twirl their hair...some ppl wipe their nose) 
I think he was just nervous..look at the way he hugged James when he came up to the stage. He hardly looked at him, hardly patted his back. MJ sang 2 lines then spun, did the moonwalk. (oooooh) And that guitar was a bit BIG for Prince too. After seeing this clip YEARS ago and seeing the aftershow from 88 where Ron Wood was playing P's guitar, it seemed like his are specially made smaller. Ron Wood looks like he's playing a child's toy. Embarrasing...yes. [Edited 5/8/05 3:54am] Yeah Prince's cloud guitar is made 3/4 the size of a normal guitar [Edited 5/8/05 3:56am] | |

this whole "incident" has been so hyped beyond proportion.
when I finally got to see it I was expecting Prince to be horribly shamed and making a complete ass of himself. Imagine my surprise at the performance being just so-so, but not stupid or shamefull as such. He was just ok, not a huge star performance indeed, but it was ok for it's purpose. As for him taking the stage props down on exiting the stage, that's not his mistake now is it. It should've been fastened anyway. Anywho, it shows that he's human and not free from bad things happening. I guess to some people that just says he was drunk or on drugs. Whatever. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

[Edited 5/5/05 0:33am] AS Usual....[/quote] Yes, because they've shared the stage so many times. The only thing 'usual' about it was Mike's moves (that and monthly posts on this topic). It was cool in '83 but it might have been nice if he'd come up with another one over the next ten years. Enjoy the moment, you'll have to make it last (as indeed Michael Jackson did). | |
