Said he wouldn't be playing them "for a while"..

Guess it depends on how you define "a while"
"What kind of fuck ending is that?"

LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Purple was the color and Prince was the star on Wednesday as the eccentric musician launched a nightclub venture that will see him performing twice a week in Las Vegas.

Prince, 48, the sometimes reclusive singer, composer and producer with a penchant for surprises, is taking up residence in the desert gambling resort for an indefinite period, playing at the Rio Hotel in the 3121 club -- named after his 2006 hit album.

"I like Las Vegas," said a peach-suited Prince, during a sneak peek three song set featuring his signature wailing guitar solos and the 1984 hit "Purple Rain" that made him a superstar. The regular Friday and Saturday night shows start on November 10 and tickets at $125 are already sold out for the first weekend.

Prince himself has given few clues as to why, and why now, he has chosen to set up shop in Las Vegas amidst the topless dancers, magicians, Cirque du Soleil spectaculars and crooners such as Barry Manilow and Celine Dion who have also set up semi-permanent residence on the Strip.

A rare giver of interviews, he appointed his Australian twin backup singer-dancers, known as The Twinz, as his official spokespersons on Wednesday. "He wants to bring raw, live music back to Las Vegas. He wants a more positive vibe," Maya Mcclean, one of The Twinz, told reporters.

Prince is regarded as a perfectionist who from 1993 to 2000 changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol in what was thought to be a protest against the demands of his record label at the time. For a while he was dubbed "The Artist Formally Known as Prince."

But the intimate 3121 club, decked in purple and seating 900, will be under his sole artistic control. An adjacent restaurant, 3121 Jazz Cuisine, is being run by Prince's personal chef.

"This is his vision. This is his room. This is his club," said John Meglen, president of AEG Live which is backing the venture.

"The one thing about this town that Prince realizes is that if you go back to the Fifties, to the days of Frank Sinatra and
Tony Bennett, Las Vegas was a place where all the world wide great musicians came out and played," Meglen said.

"There is no-one more high energy than Prince. You're not going to see any lip synching on this stage," Meglen said.

After more than 20 albums, the versatile Prince emerged from self-imposed obscurity in 2004 with a lucrative tour and performances in 2006 at the Brit awards, TV's "American Idol" and "Saturday Night Live."

He is expected to stay in Vegas for several months. Or as Twinz spokesperson Maya Mcclean said "until he figures out what he wants to do next."

interpret said:[quote]excited Ahhhhh
eye am so ecstatic about this. I have never been to Vegas, but plans are being made for me and some gurrrrl friends to venture there in March.
MARCH????
Hmmm as much as Prince gets bored with things I sure would plan on going LONG
before March... By then he probably won't even be playing there any more.
It will be just like Glam Slam.. Love for One Another.. 3121 LA.. and now this.
Passing Fancy..
And Hey.. isn't it a SIN to Gamble.. and all those show girls a SIN??
Why would prince wanna even play there?
Personally I think this is a total waste of his time and his talent..
It is NOT for the REAL hard core fan.. it sounds pretty snotty to me and
a bit Upscale for us Real Prince lovin' fans.. $125 a ticket? For a small
little venue? What a shame he doesn't stay back in Chanhassen or MPLS and
entertain his REAL TRUE fans like he always swore he would do.....
Very sad.....

sself imposed obscurity? What boat did you ride in on? I'm sure Prince said to himself, I think I'll release some crappy albums and not let anyone know where I am or what I am doing.

Yes, that is the way I remember it. Self imposed obscurity... PLEEEAAASSEEE

Washed up? Not hardly. The crowds are already in Vegas. He doesn't have traveling expenses, he doesn't have to ride in a bus for hours. It a good way for him to make money. I think of it as, The partys are back! Two Prince concerts a week and we can pick and choose when to go. We don't have to be thinking about when the next tour is,and where.

Maybe (VIP) seating 900 but including general admission (standing room) 1500?

rolleyes Oh boy.

This is getting absolutely ridiculous, and it stops now.

I've already responded to your org note about this, stating there are FAR more important things going on in the world than worrying about 'who's first' posting something - does it really bother you that much serpan that you have to publicly throw your toys out of your pram when you don't get your own way? I can't understand why you've made it some personal crusade, it's really quite sad. Where's this gonna stop? You'll be saying people who are posting the pictures you posted from getty etc are not allowed to do so next...

If you want to play it like this and keep badmouthing me publiclly for something that's actually not the case, then fine - I can play hardball too. So, for the record: the featured article that is on the homepage was posted in the morning GMT - I should know, I featured it. Your thread was started the afternoon GMT, and as such was locked and redirected. NOT (as you state) the other way around. This is standard proceedure for all dupe threads that are come acorss.

So get off your soap box and sword, your embaressing noone but yourself.

I happened to be online right around the time this all went down. You were definitely first. As a matter of fact, I posted a question in the now locked thread, asking what was going on with your thread because it wasn't showing up...then mysteriously my post was deleted and the thread was locked. When I look at my MY ORG page, it shows that my last post was made in that thread, but when I click on the link, my post isn't there. confused
