appearently..and i was remember..in a interview he said..anyone who isnt either..unique or can play thier own instruments.....but i remember this vaguely.

well, he said in an online chat years ago that he liked the foo fighters, and then he said in an interview last year that he didn't like them because they covered 'darling nikki'.

what a ego..that man is..still i dig him..i mean..i put up with billy corgan

He's one to talk, he should be slapped for that god-awful cover of "I Can't Make You Love Me"...especially for converting it to princebonics

He dissed Missy Eliot also:

"I'm gonna put U on the same diet Missy went on...U know she eat 2 much."

Something like that.

i thought that was a compliment, since it acknowledged that missy lost weight.

That's what I thought, I guess you can interpret the lyrics different ways.

Yoko Ono

I always figured he wasn't a big Elvis fan
but I have a video clip of him performing one of his
songs so I can't tell

Where'd you get that? Prince is one of the great Elvis fans. We've covered this in detail before on this board. It seems unlikely but true that he has imitated Elvis from Jack U Off all the way to the suits he wore on his last tour.

Anxiety said:

what a prick! so it's alright for him to slaughter "everyday is a winding road" but others can't pay homage him. But i don't like the foo fighters anyway so don't care as much

He has nothing against U2, why does that bullshit surface each week? Prince really doesn't badmouth other artists that much anyway. He doesn't like Kid Rock, but who can blame him?

Oliver said:

That has to be about Missy Elliott. Because, you know, there is nobody else named Missy on this entire planet. I love how people read into things...

Peace!

He is no fan of Guns N' Roses.Backstage at the 1990 American Music Awardss,he walked right past Slash and Axl Rose without saying a word.They were like "What's up man?!" but Prince completely ignored them.


I also heard that he ignored Ready For The World when they came backstage after one of his concerts in 1986

Prince hates any male performer who covers his songs.

What he say about nirvava?

I read in a magazine back in '99 that his favorite band of the moment was Rage Against The Machine.

hehe PRINCE cracks me up!! hehe

Axl Rose talks to Prince, they chatted about something in a hotel in the early 90's i remember a interviw where Axl mentioned it.

That surprises me. I guess Prince appreciates very politically charged lyrics (and pretty good musicianship as well). I was a huge RATM fan back in the day.

And first post. Thank you very much

And Tom Jones, at least Genuwine's cover came out like 15 years after the original, however Tom Jones' Kiss came out like 2 years after. Plus it was just cheesy as fuck.

DavidEye said:

thats probably because Guns N Roses asshole fans hate Prince

I'm guessin' Tommy Lee could be added to the list.
