Prince and Mick Jagger.... Obviously Prince is a huge Rolling Stones fan.
Apart from his covers - Miss you, Honky Tonk woman etc he is influenced by them somewhat (bits and pieces). But then again the Rolling Stones play American music. This is what Mick Jagger had to say about Prince: It's fashionable to knock Prince now because he seems to have gone off on a tangent (laughs)... No, I think Prince is a great artist, very traditional in some ways. Prince has been overlooked. But he's so incredibly in the mold of the James Brown sort of performer. He broke a lot of musical modes and invented a lot of styles and couldn't keep up with himself. Very prolific, which is rare. Mostly people write three songs and repeat themselves. Prince has a lot of talent as a writer, and I've seen great performances by Prince. He's outperformed almost everyone. I'd rate him at the top. I don't think there's a lot of competition from new artists.
- Mick Jagger, 1995 I wanted to know if anyone else found anymore quotes. I think Prince is much more talented than Mick, but much more overlooked. I also happen to like the Rolling Stones btw. [Edited 2/23/09 16:48pm] | |

In all of Prince's early shows (1979-1983), he moved and posed like Mick Jagger. "You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup...Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - Bruce Lee

9. Prince's Dirty Mind: Although the vocals are love-man falsetto, the metallic textures and simple drum patterns are as much Rolling Stones as Funkadelic. And where the typical love man plays the lead in "He's So Shy," Prince is aggressively, audaciously erotic. I'm talking about your basic fuckbook fantasies--the kid sleeps with his sister and digs it, sleeps with his girlfriend's boyfriend and doesn't, and stops a wedding by gamahuching the bride on her way to church. I mean, Mick Jagger can just fold up his penis and go home.

not only poses but for many years he wiggled his elbows and danced mick style all the time I wondered if Mick picked that up from a black American artist or was that his original style, I can't think of anyone black dancing like that LOL. Sometimes his singing and prancing is a bit silly, dare I say. | |
