Will post more on this tomorrow 4 U

It's from an in-studio scene from the Rave dvd. He was playing something that sounded like Gamillah if I'm remembering correctly.

AH! Thanks mate! I really appreciate it! I would love to see that in action! Gamillah is a beautiful instrumental btw.

Rave was the WORST era!! Well the 1999 New Masters & Rave!!!

But the good thing is he learned allot from it, when the industry came back around in 2004! He knew they would want a 1984 remembering and he was ready - he learned from all his mistakes from 1999-2000... and he made a TON of money! Pretty much since 2004 he has made more in his career then anytime in the past!

$90 million tour

$5 million gigs

$1 million per show gigs

#1,2 or #3 albums

Quick tours which make huge money

He learned allot from that Rave era.

WOW! Nice figures! SO true, he earned so much through 'Rave'. That's why he was raving to the joy which was fantastic..HE WAS GETTING BANK! LOL

Manowar is my favourite track on rave. Love the layered vocal melodies and the lyrics. The album is a little uneven but half of it is excellent to my ears.

Long hair + big hoop earring =

I have always loved that look on Princey

Everywhere I go, people stop and stare

They just wanna see me swing this pretty hair

First post for a while ...

I always thought it was a little strange and unnecessary that a lot of the songs on this album started with an announcment of the song title. Rave, TGRES, Hot Wit U, Everyday ... all did this, but in my opinion they didn't need to.

Overall i do like the album though, especially some of the more qwerky stuff. I love The extended Tangerine, I love u but i don't trust u anymore, strange but true, beautiful strange, pretty man

I even like Everyday ... to the point in the tune where Larry takes over (i have faded my version out at this point)

Not too sure about the look !! Wouldn't suit me, that's all i can say !!!

I never even thought about that! You're so right about that! Haha,

As far your like for 'Every Is A Winding Road' THAT SONG SCKS! Haha

I know it's not popular, but I really do like Silly Game. The vocals and music sound good to me.

Why do we play this silly game?

Man'O'War

Why U screamin'?
U know I'm not a man of war
Break a gold chain that I gave U
Throw it down on the floor
Instead of this 7 page letter
I wish I had peace of mind
My friends tell me, "U should go get her"
But lovin' U, lovin' U, lovin' U is a waste of time
Oh, yes it is, it's a waste of time, ooh

I need 2 get out of this city
I need 2 get U outta my head
I need 2 get away from the words that U said 2 me

(Why U screamin'?) Oh, baby
(U know I'm not a man of war)
How could U have think that I could put something inside of someone
That I put inside U, inside U?
Even if I tried 2, if I tried 2 (Tried 2, tried 2)
I couldn't cuz I still smell like that last time when we
I.. but lovin' U, lovin' U, lovin' U's a waste of time (Is a waste of time)
Oh, yes it is
But lovin' U is a waste of time, baby

Ooh
I need 2 feel wanted again
I need 2 feel love is alive, yeah
I need 2 hear U say that U ain't lookin' 4 another reason 2 make me cry

Why U screamin'? (Ooh uh)
U know I'm not a man of war
I've been tryin' 2 make U happy, baby, ever since we were sophomores
But lovin' U, lovin' U, lovin' U's a waste of time
Oh, yes it is (Is a waste of time)
Ooh, it's a waste of time, waste of time, waste of time

If there is no future
Then there is no past
And all we've got is right now
Let us make it last, make it last, make it last, ooh

Why U screamin'?
U know I'm not a man of war
Break the gold chain that I gave U
Throw it down on the floor (Oh, throw it down)
Instead of this 7 page letter
I wish I had peace of mind
My friends tell me, they tell me, "U should go get her"
But lovin' U, lovin' U, lovin' U's a waste of time
Oh, a waste of time, yeah

I need 2 get out of this city
I need 2 get U outta my head
I need 2, I need 2 get away from the words that U said 2 me
I need 2, hey, I need 2 feel wanted again, oh
I need 2, huh, feel no sin
Hear me

(But lovin' U, lovin' U, lovin' U...)

Why U screamin'?
U know I'm not a man of war
Break the gold chain that I gave U
Throw it down on the floor (Oh baby)
Instead of this 7 page letter
I wish I had peace of mind
But my friends tell me, "U should go get her"
But lovin' U, lovin' U, lovin' U is a waste of time
U know I'm not a man'o'war

Internet Release

One Song" is a song by Prince (his stage name at that time being an unpronounceable symbol). It was released December 31, 1999 on his website, love4oneanother.com. The page included downloads and full lyrics.

One Song

I am the universe
The sun, the moon and sea
I am the energy
4 that is what I believe
I can be contradiction
Cuz that is all I see
But I am the universe
And the universe is me

I am the one song (Ah yes)
And that one song is free
All things come from this one song (Yes they do, uh)
The garden and the tree
If everything, everything is present
What is will always be
This here is the first and the last song
And all that come between

When language falls like a wounded soldier
And it's covered by the sea
All the sadness
All these unanswered questions
Keep me company
(Company, company, company come 2 me, come 2 me please!)
Here at the center of it all
(I know) I know that U can only come from me

(I am the universe)
Yes it will, oh, yes it will (The sun, the moon and sea)
Where else is it gonna come from but me? (I am the universe)
Oh my, my my my my my my my universe (The universe is me)
(I am the universe)
(The sun, the moon and sea)
(I am the universe) (We are the universe) {x2}
(The universe is me)

One truth (One truth)
One song (One song)
One energy

Well I finally found something about this Era, I like besides Greatest Romance Ever Sold, and Man O' War. The fashion was just....just....I cannot even define. But I like this pic.

I also remember an interview w/BET his hair was like in millions of rubber-bands or something, can anyone remind me what was discussed???

Also the name spin for the magazine "Prince & The Revelation"

OldFriends4Sale said:

these pics are really nice

Uptown magazine!

I was a member back then, and I have that copy posted above. That was really great - to get a lot of Prince-info, it was before the internet took over.

I like Prince blue outfit and his outfit like different from the other musician.

I need to collect more of Prince music CDs.

me 2

I have this DVD and pretty much liked his performances with the exception of the corny way The Time was introduced. And the set was pretty...hmm well generic but my favorites were when he played "She's Always In My Hair" and "Nothing Compares 2 You". I don't own the "Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic" album though.
