i was riding around today in my car listening to "ONA live"... i was bobbing my head along to it, and when i heard prince say "people are trying to describe the funk... if it can be described, then it ain't funky" or something along those lines... and i thought, that's the best line on the whole set...

then a little later on, he says "i'm talking about theocratic order up here... are you with me?"... and i thought, that's easily the worst the line on the whole set...

so, what do you think are the best and worst lines from the cds... or the best and worst something else...

In Anna Stesia...

"Look at u, your up high, your up high! And that's how I wanna hear your voices in that same aspect... high!"

TERRIBLE!

yeah, that's not one of the better moments for sure...

nuthinbuttamuffin said:

I agree 100% ... dreadfully cringe-worthy.

And just before that when he talks about the NPGMC members - 'they in the good seats'. He needs to stop bleating on about that - after all, the others (including me) had paid £50 (GBP) for our crap seats !!

thats th ecomment which i thought drove P not 2 use the NYC cut of Anna .. . . cos that thing is wild!

in NYC he sez "from now on if u want concert tickets u MUST JOING THE NPGMusicClub!
i thought that was very odd

so Re-bec-ca, what's your last name?"

my favorite line

Best line is:

"M'am, crack kills"

Worst: "Tell me how many of you love god" - Anna Stesia
Best: Any of the leads and directions for the band especially the line asking for help from the hornz on Girls and Boys “ba-nap ba benap” and.....sounds like "shabbylittlebitband" (forget the track though)

Don't be stupid!

That line SOUNDS like it's suppose to be FUNNY, but 2 seconds earlier Prince lets out a wail that sounds like he was kicked in the nuts. Maybe HE should be told crack kills, for making inexplicable noises like that!

*Other embarassing ONAL moments!:

=The "are you a leader or follower"bit: Hey Prince, this lady made an effort to get tickets and plunk down more $$$ than the woman in red @ the back- why should she give up that seat to a slacker? Why embarass someone publically who is giving you time and $$$? Jackass!!! Just play "Kiss", or something.

="I'm talkin' about Theocratc Order are YOU WITH ME?!?!"..." uh, ..NO!" Jackass! Just play "Lets Go Crazy" or somethin'.

= "Re-be-caaa!" God, it's like nails on a chalk board!
"Whats' your Name?" "Prince Rogers Nelson" "What if we call you 0-)->?" "DEAL WITH IT JACKASS!!" Who is he to talk about names and be RUDE to the audience who endured 5 years of TAFKAP stupidity?

IT AINT OVER! IT AINT OVER!!! "Hey, let's REPEAT this line, I don't know, maybe 1000 times- hense the title of this disc that is cut and pasted like a little girl's Horsey scrapbook!Just like the one SdlDawn has!


ONAL is has good musicianship, but has NO joy!

the crack kills comment is funny.
When he says rebecca, that too is amusing.

The most cringe worthy line in the set is during one of the songs he says:

"Raise your hand for love y'all!"

best: the "re-be-cca!" and "crack kills" remarx, and all the folks singin the "oh, lo-vah!" part in "iwbyl"...cracks me up.

worst: some of the jams were waaay 2 long. even though i wuz at none of the shows, it seems like i'm standin up in an arena somewhere, tired as hell and like, "end it awready, prince!!"

that and the preachiness in some stuff...

Levi said:

that "good seats" line just made me turn the song off, cuz that's the absolute end. exclusivity is crap.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

You're right, I'd always thought Prince was in favour of a classless society - ie not being judged for having more or less money than the next person. He seems to be all for this when it makes a good soundbite, but when it comes to his concerts, he obviously only wants rich folk there.

Generally, preaching should be left to preachers, so that those who are not interested can stay away. Concerts are for MUSIC!!

Levi said:

prince doesn't want a classless society... he wants a society in which everyone is of the same class - the npgmc... that's why he wanted the club members to taunt the people in the balcony...

EllisDee said:

And what he's created is a mini society of have's and have not's. Ie people who HAVE laminates, coz they can afford to join the club, and those who HAVE NOT coz they can't.

I think the best line is when during "The Other Side of the Pillow" Prince invites Greg to do a trombone solo. "Greg's doin' that sleazy dance. If you're dancin' like that I'm sure you got something for me." - something close to that I believe. I love it! Although Prince's comments on NATO, God, etc. don't bother me personally, I think they are the worst lines for a common listener. Simply cheesy.

pimpytheclown said:

I think that was the woman he put the mic to ..thats why he told her "crack kills"..because she wailed like an ill coyote.

rdhull said:

"ill coyote"?? more like "dyin seagull".

Best: "Aww, boy...somebody get me another suit, I'm about to sweat this one out!!"

Worst: "Don't you know that blood (or "dead blood") kills interferons..."...

WHY ARE YOU ALL SO ANGRY WITH HIM??
AM I CONNECTED WITH A FAN CLUB OR TO WWW.BILLYJACKBITCH.COM??
I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT JUST THE FACT THAT I COULD HEAR HIS VOICE TALKING AND NOT ONLY SINGING IT'S A BIG, BIG GIFT...
BEST: ANNA STASIA
WORST: I DO NOT LIKE WHEN WANTS US TO FORGET ABOUT THE PAST...HOW CAN I?? I HE GREW ME UP WITH THIS JAMS, THEY ARE IN MY DNA...BUT I KEEP ON LOVING' EVERYTHING HE DOES.. THE ONLY REGRET...: TOO MUCH JAZZ, PLEASE KEEP FUNKIN' ME UP AS ALWAYS!!!

LASTHEART said:

lower-case, please...

Soapstone said:

I thought it was "shufflelittlebitband" since they changed the groove.

Agree on “ba-nap ba benap”.

I like when he's talking to Blackwell about Sheila's "fashion" and he says "she on the cymbal now" 2x.
Love it when he' says "you about to hear Prince play, Joy in Repetition...turn it up Johnny!"

pimpytheclown said:

That was the woman moaning,not Prince.He let some members of the audience do that bit on a few tour dates.But she was screaming,so I guess that's why he said that to her-I thought it was funny!
Worst?-"Leave that blood alone!"

---

wellbeyond said:

Co-sign on the worst... it just comes out of nowhere & makes you say, "WHUUU?"



BEST: there's 4 that I love...

4. "They say that money don't buy you happiness but... it'll pay for the search..."

3. "You gonna do that to me baby?... Yea, right..."

2. "Come on Maceo, blow ya horn!... Y'ALL KNOW WHO DAT IS???!!!"

1. "Hands up for love, y'all..."






the best edit.

CalhounSq said:

LoL...exactly...just kinda slaps you out of the blue...has nothing to do with the song or anything he's doin' onstage...

"Nuther "Best" moment: During "Adore" when Prince says "Aw, now that's a little expensive, now...come on.." to his imaginary lover's car request...

wellbeyond said:

And it's pretty damn sexy when he says, "I'l buy you anything you want, baby..." Not WHAT he's saying, lol, but the way he's saying it...

CalhounSq said:

Or, when he says "Beautiful...!" at the very end of "Diamonds & Pearls" at hearing the audience sing the last part of the chorus for him...

How can we forget where he says 3x "Rhonda your killin' me with that bass."

That might be my favorite part...I rewind that shit all the time.

"i like the groove but we got 2 change"...¿¿???


"real music 4 real music lovers whaT!" i love that one

divo02 said:

Yes!...Love that part, and you can tell the audience does, too, cuz they start cheering when he says it the second time...and Rhonda is killin' with that bass...
