Sorry....but that' no what i've heard, from lots of people who have met him. I've heard that he's a very sweet yet frank person. They were treated with the upmost respect and he was a very gracious and insightful person. If I could be muse 2 the Pharoah...... | |

Share stories. I'm very interested in learning about this. why? are you about to meet him? I have no personal experiences to share but I've read threads like this b4 and I think his track record is pretty good. I've heard one or 2 stories where he was not interested but...for the most part I think he treats them well...in a freindly to a stranger kind of way. "not a fan"  yeah...ok | |

I haven't heard of Prince being nasty to anyone, so many people want a piece of him, he's just being cautious. | |

I was just curious, how he treats his fans in general. I've heard stories of him being awesome to fans at soundchecks, letting them in before other people. And sitting and just shooting the shit with them. Imagine sharing stories with P. Wow.  | |

I've heard only stories.
Well, combined with rumors. The rumors say he doesn't treat his fans all that great. But I've heard a handful of stories from people here and they say he's so different in person. In a good way. He's supposedly very nice and I think these days, he'd say something religious. Someone here was with their b/f at the time and he said "she worships u" and he said "don't worship me, worship God" something to that effect. It depends on his mood, though. If he's not in the mood for conversation, he'll either get a little testy or he'll run away first chance he gets. But if he is in the mood, well... one can only imagine how incredible he is to talk with if they hadn't gotten that chance yet. had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |

From what I've read he seems to be friendlier than some thought... as long as you don't give him a sand dollar. | |

I heard plenty of stories about his Bodyguards being rough with people back in the day, but that guy is dead, I've never heard of Prince personally being nasty. He does have the right to deny autographs and say no to pictures that doesn't make him a mean person. | |

I actually had a camera confiscated and then...RETURNED. UNHARMED! Though Mike Scott even told me he was suprised that the film was remaining in the camera. But, it was. And that says what?
Man, I don't know...Life's a Bitch. | |

If I met him, apart from being nervous as hell, i'd know not to a)ask for his autograph or b)move to shake his hand. Not that big on autographs anyway. I'd be pretty happy with him laying eyes on me and a nod of the head, and words coming out of his mouth would be a bonus.
Kinda what happened when I randomly saw Colin Farrell as I was crossing a road in central London last year. Not that i'm a fan of his or anything but it was nice all the same.  | |

The original thread seems to be missing/deleted. But if you search the Org, you'll find other threads talking about it. Langebleu gave the best nutshell description not long ago in this thread, http://www.prince.org/msg...sg_4408183 Ask where they're going, they'll tell U – "Nowhere"

Many were able to shake his hand in Vegas, of which I was one! 
The aftershow room was so small- like being in his living room, it made sense he would shake hands with you if you were in the right spot at the right time. Ask where they're going, they'll tell U – "Nowhere"

If you do get up close to Prince, don't put your hand on his shoulder!  | |
