LMAO

DID YOU SEE THAT?

It was a group there to promote a Tribute CD.

I had the TV on mute, looked up, saw a fake Prince.

I don't think I've laughed so hard in a while.

I did. That guy had some fucked up eyebrows.

I think he did an okay job, the only thing that bothered me was that he wasn't P's size.

Yeh that was pretty damn funny,seen em in Las Vegas they sucked then and still do

I thought they were really good!!!

The guy had all his mannerisms down. I thought they were cool.

They lead singer playing Prince was an ok guitar player, too!!!

I'd rather see the real thing, but they were a cool tribute.

I'm interested in seeing what other tribute band Dave has lined up!!!

I loved it! That guy is "adore"able!

it was horseshit.. the band was really good, but otherwise, the lead singer a total mockery. I can understand it's a tribute band, but do it with some class. YIKES!!! No way in hell I'd ever go see them in Vegas.

I have a Programme called TVUPlayer which streams live TV from around the world(which is handy when u are away from the USA) and CBS is one of the channels on there and I have just seen David Letterman on there and I just saw Purple Reign!!!

I SMELL YET ANOTHER LAWSUIT!!!!!

Hmmm gotta kind of change my mind after re watching em this morning.Not bad musically,but the looks throw me. Plus where's the ladies ? I did like the guitar solo at the end
I guess it's like watching a Hollywood movie,suspension of disbelief ?

cant sue a tribute band...











frakin fanatics..

Got alot of haters out there, but I thought that they did a damn good job and the pseudo Prince was a pretty good guitar player. Give them their props. Nobody's going to be Prince, we know that, but I like to see some of you guys go up there and do it. Purple Reign is ok in my book.

i am in a tribute band myself and even tho this band could play musically, one thing my band vows never 2 do is try 2 dress up like prince and last night was a prime example on y we will NEVER go that route. pay respect 2 the music is more important than trying 2 imitate prince.

and with a name like they have, it didn't surprise me in the least that they went the "safe" route and did a song like let's go crazy

yeah.. i guess that is what was strange to me while watching was that they was dressed up like prince etc.

joyinrepetition said:

I wasn't saying that they were bad, or trying to disrespect them in any way.

I think I was just shocked to see someone on TV acting/singing like P, and knowing it was actually P.

it was bloody terrible
the guy looked like a hyperactive little girl

manerisms spanerisms

no charm there what so ever

wriggling your mouth and head while doing a little guitar solo
doesn't mean you have your prince manerisms down pat


if i didn't see it from the start i would have thought i was watching mad tv

Oh yeah, I have to admit, they sound great, and the lead singer has Prince's singing voice and moves down pat. I just can't get past the eyebrows. There's just something so odd about them.

Impersonators creep me out.
For real.
Seriously.
Scary shit.

Thank God I missed it. Sounds like a HOT MESS

Oh, Lawd, they got a fake npg too? A Mayte and everything. haha
