Freind In Prince Video

My freind was in a prince video. I can`t remember what it was called. he was the drummer in my band for a while.

It was a live video of an aftershow filmed in london, camden possibly. It came out around the same time as the undertaker. It had `jailhouse rock` and `get your house in order` on it.

He met prince a couple of times and said he was very nice.

My freind appears at the start of that video. He left my band, but the band played on.

Kool biggrin It was a video that was released 1994 same time as The Undertaker vid.... Its called The Sacrifice Of Victor...also featuring Mavis Staples / The Steeles & Mayte.. Great version of PEACH in that vid eek WOW!!
Here is a review i found online >>>>>I'm a major fan of Prince. The Sacrifice Of Victor is definitely a fans only purchase though. Not because it isn't good, it's just that it's a film of an aftershow. He doesn't sing any hits, and it features more vocals from the likes of Mavis Staples and The NPG than the man himself.
But it's a great show nontheless, the quality of the film is really good

My friend,

He was in one of the dressing room areas. He’s waring a black shirt with white polka dots. He went there to talk to Prince and see if he could jam with him. I know he got talking to Prince although I don’t think he got too jam. There`s a Hendrix a-like look a-like in that video and my freind appears near the start some time around then. walking around in Princes` dressing room or one of the muso`s dressing rooms. He did say that prince was very open and chatted for a while.

He lived with a bass player, they both being called Mark. Very funny men. Mark the bassist banned Mark the drummer from playing Prince records at home during certain hours because the guy would play the records non-stop. He had some kind of a Prince curfew going down.

They were the rhythm section in my band for a while and then they split when they got offered a gig in a big hotel in Delhi India. They got £10 000 each for six months + airfare and lodgings.

They both came from Newcastle which is the city in Northern England where Sting is from. Mark the drummer hated Sting because apparently Sting was having an affair with his drum teacher’s wife which sent Mark’s drum teacher into a deep depression during which he would teach drums any more, hence upsetting Mark the drummer.

All of my celebrity stories are lame and inconsequential but true non- the less. I had a girlfriend once who worked in Island records in London. She got me some free tickets to see Prince and some of his guitar picks which have `Love God` inscribed on them. I don’t exactly understand why the connection with Island. Some of the Guitar techs or soundboard techs at Island were connected to his shows in some regard.

After I worked with a Japanese drummer who is in the video section here.

It was cool holding auditions. The Bassist from Mother Earth turned up he was digging on a track called `People Say` that’s not presented on this site but is a bit like the funk of `Black Gold` which is the first song on the main page. http://cybernought.com/

After Mother Earth split (who had a hit with Dear Jesse) the guitar player went on to play with Oasis and Paul Weller. I can’t remember his name.

Last year I was asked to write material for an album due for release on EMI by a singer called `Aaron Soul` who grew up singing with Craig David. This has gone into litigation because his brother got kind of aggressive with me in the studio. It’s a bitch because I was very pleased with the work that I did for him. Two songs I wrote for him are on Myspace `Population Explosion` and `What in the World` which they never recorded.

http://profile.myspace.co...=233089965

And a song called `Brainchild` which they recorded and wanted to kill me over because they got all excited and wanted to keep the money, hence pushing me out of the loop.

If I can remember any more Prince bitz i`ll stick them in this thread rather than make a new one. Ciao.
