Have you?

I don't know if he's had a problem with them or not. Everybody uses some type of drug to make them feel better. beer, pills, weed etc.

That Prince, Vanity 6,Time era was filled with stories of coke outed musicians. He looked as wired as you could possibly get....you figure it out! His drug of choice goes up his nose.

God that James Brown clip is hilarious.

from the glove thrown back at him to not knowing what to play or sing and to the unthinkable, actually falling down along with parts of the set. He must have ran out of there in tears!

But it must be many musicians nightmare, having to follow not only James Brown but Michael Jackson. And that song sounded kind of difficult to just jump in on.

This gets discussed CONSTANTLY. WHY? who cares really.

If it gets discussed constantly, clearly people do care.

It's seamy.... everyone loves a good gossip.

I would like to correct you on Jon Bon Jovi... saw him walk into a toilet with Pink here in Melbourne to rack up...

Doing drugs and prophysizing against drugs is similar to wearing bare-ass chaps onstage and simulating sex, and lecturing Alicia Keyes on her use of profanity.

There are tales of the occasional glass of wine as a stimulant (ie for recording Sign) and as an antidepressant (when Baby gregory died). And of course the rumoured E he took to get his Camille/Spooky Electric thing going, but these are probably very isolated.

Prince has probably drunk alcohol at various times in his life, but hardly enough to call him addicted. In facts hes quite anti it. He probably is fully in control of it when he uses these things.
Another reason I think he generally ignores drugs and alcohol is that hes a physically small human. At 155cm high and a weight of about 50kg, any sizable quantity of these things would a more severe effect on him than most other people. Maybe he looked Mr T he would be more into it!!!

RAN OUT?? I'd say more like carried out. Kinda like how he was placed on stage. It didn't help MJ provoked JB into calling P on stage in the 1st place. MJ probably knew the circumstances.

NDRU said:

yeah,that clip is crazy it's probably a performance that Prince would like to forget

DavidEye said:

mmmm... and to think just a few days before that "performance" he had dazzled the crowds at First Avenue with what was supposedly one of his best ever gigs

and he was wearing the same clothes too

Handel said:

There were moments of greatness even in the JB clip, but on the whole, it must have been one of his most embarassing moments as a performer.

NDRU said:

Fam of the year.

Seriously though, a few moments of lucidity would've sufficed.

FIML said:

Pink is supposedly a confirmed non-druggie too... that's what the little box with people in it tells me anyway.

whodknee said:

I don't have to take this!!!

Nah, it was just obvious that he'd been onstage once or twice, even if the whole thing was a disaster.

I never saw this. Sounds too funny, is it at HQ at all?

NDRU said:

awesome thanks.....but it won't work.

luv4all7 said:

hmm, try the direct link earler in the thread, that's where I copied it from.

,,,,,AH, there it is, Thanks!

Nice how he has James hold his shirt, like he's a roadie or something.

I think MJ saw P out there wasted before he got on stage and set him up! Cause he insisted on James calling him up there. But P bombing, that was his own fault. Cocaine is a helluva drug. I swear even when I'm alone I can't watch this and being the fan i am:nuts: you know i ain't never shown it to anyone else.

adorable2 said:

Whatever MJ's motives it might have been a blessing in disguise for Prince. I'm really speculating here, but the embarrassment might have helped Prince steer clear of future drug abuse.

NDRU said:

Maybe I'm mistaken and maybe I'm confusing this with what I saw on Purple Rain but what his dad not an alchoholic and severly abusive to his mom... Maybe thats what steered him away from drugs and alchohol... Either way he is a very sexy and smart man who has learned from his mistakes had he ever experimented with any of it... More power to the Prince!

Clearly he was high as shit when he prepped for this photo

HEY i've just tried to go onto the link but it won't let me, and also its in french so i don't understand it please help x x x x x

whodknee said:

yeah maybe P ran straight outta there and checked himself into the Betty Ford clinic or whatever it is.
