Printablesquirrelgrease said: SexyMotha said: U were in the video?!  Yeah, it has a quick edit of the scene that I'm in in Purple Rain. The scene is Prince's house after Pops shoots himself. I'm standing by the cop car on the front lawn as another squad car with sirens wailing, comes up the street. The camera dolly is rolling on tracks behind me as it films the action from street to house as paramedics file in. Ya get a very quick side view of me acting as a "concerned neighbor". I was in high school at the time and knew they were going to be shooting a couple of blocks from my house. I went to watch with some friends and my future wife, who was also a huge fan. The director asked for some extras, so I quickly volunteered. My girl was pissed (and still is) that she wasn't in the shot. 
Prince's stand-in was there. Dude was at least a foot taller than Prince. We also watched scenes being filmed with Apples and Morris Day that never made the movie. 
great story! you were there with your future wife 
i love reading these kind of things on the org! that's the thing that keeps it being nice instead of all them stupid threads in princebonics about weirdness. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

GOLD from the GOLD EXPERIENCE: holy Jonas brothers, what the hell was that? BATDANCE: It looked like a Goth Club after 'last call'. BLACK SWEAT: If you're working up a black sweat, at least do SOMETHING. Diamonds and Pearls: SWEAR TO GOD, I thought Barry Manillo was going to pop out and help him sing the song. The Holy River: It looked like a Student film. A community college student film. Thieves in the Temple: It's not terrible at first. But once the extended version starts kicking in, it gets terrible. I mean, C&C Music Factory terrible. Mountains: Although my adoration for the song never diminishes, the video is so incredibly terrible, I don't even know where to begin. First, WHAT IS THAT OUTFIT? During what time period and in what country did men dress like that? That's an ass kicking BEGGING to take place in my neighborhood. The poorly done blue-screen affects added to the tackiness of the video. Believe it or not, even though it's terrible, I love the video
Betcha By Golly Wow: Prince is relentless with the cringe factor here. I've seen ABBA videos that were less sugary than this thing. Paisley Park: Holy Homemade movie, Batman. All the Controversy & 1999 videos: Little Red Corvette is the only one I can tolerate of the bunch. Prince would later perfect the lip-syncing-on-stage music video with U got the Look and ICNTPYM from SOTT. But early on, it was like watching back to back episodes of Solid Gold. I wanna Be Your Lover: Released around the same time as the original Alien, The Thing, and Halloween, I truly believe Prince's video closely rivals all of them for scream factor. After reading this list I had to go check out I Wanna Be Your Lover. I'd never sseen that one before! I guess I assumed that since it was before MTV that there wasn't a video for it! That's the first time I have seen Prince play ddrums, so that was a treat for me. And secondly, ARE THOSE BLUE JEANS??!! | |

OK, I haven't seen some of these videos for years, so I'm checking them out again.
In Controversy, are those the famous cut out pants or are those leggings? | |

TY CLR for reminding me how terrible a vid Betcha By Golly Wow was. Maybe its mostly the remake that I can't stand, and those 2nd rate cirgue du soleil dancers, and the fact that it was shot at paisly and looks like it was shot at paisly. the best part of the vid is the beginning when he rolls up in his ride playing jam of the year and when he hugs Mayte at the hospital.
But wait...that last part is stupid too b/c someone tell me why is Prince wearing scrubs and a stethescope (sp) just to hear that the pregnancy hormone showed up in Mayte's pee pee. You gotta dress in full doctor gear just to find out you knocked somebody up?  | |

actually seem to have been made with the purpose of being a video for a particular song. 90% of his old videos are performance clips or soundstage shots, or just generally weird (in a bad way) footage. they're all ok and serve their purpose but prince has never been the artist you think of when someone is talking great videos. ever since emancipation he's shot some very good ones that had a bit more attention to detail and narrative. my fav ones are still "i wish u heaven" and "gett off" although the ones for "the greatest romance" and "te amo corazon" looked very beautiful too. the worst one is probably everything from the 1999 album, people seem to love those clips but i sincerely dislike them for some reason. i also hate the purple rain video. the one for "the most beautiful girl in the world" is horrible, especially with prince in that red matador suit with lace trim wearing a ton of make up, mf'in heavy eyeliner and a haircut that makes him look like a liza minelli drag queen. ewwwww. Naw...you just don't get it. Prince is the most beautiful girl in the "The Most Beautiful Girl..." video. It's...it's...irony! Yeah, that's it! I know u said that 4 a joke but I have argued that point 4 years. Its obvious Prince is saying HE is the most beautiful. Hence he's at the centre of everything and dressed better than every1 else. Wake up children, dance the dance electric... there isn't much time.... who farted?  ...was it u?  | |

I agree, Paisley Park was bad. Not even a glimpse of Prince, or anyone we know, for that matter. I like the song, though. | |

Actually the video is bizarre slightly creepy to me. Its like a weird alien musician and his band breaking through/appearing in this dimension through another dimensional vibration. Like they are being tuned into this dimension from across the universe to appear in our presence and bring their message. To make a thief, make an owner; to create crime, create laws. | |

it has mayte in gold hot pants. even me, as a gay man, could appreciate that that's when prince had that crazy robert smith banzai tree hairdo. i loved that. he needed to hook a fountain up to that 'do and i would have thrown three pennies at his head. | |

it just didn't "feel" like ATWIAD. i would have been happy even if there was no prince in it and it was just trippy designs and details from the album cover art. | |

I don't like any videos. I like forming my own thoughts, visualizations and fantasies about what I'm hearing.
The one exception is concert videos. Those are OK, but only after the fact. | |

Oh god, it was so utterly forgettable I forgot that one 
Didn't he even pick up a guitar briefly in that video? I'm thinking....dude, most of your audience is already asleep or changed the channel. Don't bother making it look like you're rockin' out on guitar. | |
