Found this interesting blurb on KISS FAQ..Interview with Jean Beauvior.

KF: Tell me about the Prince offer.

JB: The funny thing is that Prince was a Plasmatics fan. I didn't know that. When I actually left the Plasmatics his manager at the time, Bob Cavallo, called me and said, "Listen, Prince would like to talk to you about playing with him. He's making a new record". He made me a solid offer, he offered a certian ammount of money per year, that Prince would produce an album for me and have me play in the group. He said, "He's a big fan. Everytime you've played Minneapolis, he was there." I was like, "Yeah okay". (laughs) I wouldn't have even thought he would have any interest in the Plasmatics whatsoever.


But I didn't do it because I didn't want to get pigeonholed into any one thing and I really wanted to do my solo thing. And I thought that if I played with anybody that people would look at me as that and it would ruin any chances of having any other image in the future. As a matter of fact, we kept in touch. When we did Crown Of Thorns' first record, Interscope won out. The truth is Prince offered more than Interscope for Crown Of Thorns. We didn't take it because he had one stipulation: he wanted the guitar player changed.

KF: He wanted a new player brought in?

JB: Yeah, he wanted a new player. He had something against our guitar player at the time.




..Wow. Never knew P was into the Plamatics. Great band by the way. Rick James dug them too (according to Jean).

Interesting, thanks!

The intro of Let's Go Crazy is reminiscent of Incantation...

Shit everyone dug the plasmatics

Or they should have.

Cool little tidbit about Prince wanting to work with Jean Beauvoir. I wonder if the project was meant to replace Tony LeMans' vacancy on the roster.

The first Crown Of Thorns guitar player, whic Jean was referring to is former Shalamar guitarist Mickey Free if i'm not mistaken, well he's on the first Crown Of Thorns album anyway, Love that album!

How funny. Last week i read an article about The Plasmatics for the first time,
and my first thought was... damn Vanity 6 wasn't the first Camisole wearing Girl-Group.

Could it be, that Prince intended Jean Beauvior to be the lead of his Girl-Group, that became Vanity 6, before she declined?
