Just got '3 Chains Of Gold' video 2day Whoah! What was all that about?! You've got to hand it to him, he's a genius but definitely off the wall! What did you make of it? "You know, you're the classic example of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth and the size of the brain" | |

That editing/shortening some of the videos doesn't help one understand what's going on.
But it's a love story. Prince meets Mayte, has doubts, leaves her, has regrets while with another at the drive-in and gets back together with Mayte. The happy end. And then the name-change was sorta added at the end, I suppose. It certainly comes across as an afterthought.   FREE THE 29 MAY 1993 COME CONFIGURATION!

If that video honestly fits your definition of "genius," then may god have mercy on your soul... "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

Well, I didn't say the video was genius, just that he was one. I think the music is great but the video made me laugh, scratch my head and shake my head, as well as tap my toes! I think it's just really nuts! I want to show it to my P-hating mates and freak them out. If I start the tape from Cairo, when they see Mayte taking a bath, they'll think I'm showing them a bluey and then when the symbol turns up, they'll flip!

Nice "bush" shot though.  When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. | |

I really liked the '3 Chains O Gold' video.It attempts to explain the album in more detail,with big,flashy,expensive music videos pieced together to form a mini-movie.Admittedly,the storyline isn't very strong but the videos are top-notch.
Unlike the 'Graffiti Bridge' movie (which is really just a bad,long-form music video),'Three Chains O Gold' has great songs,killer performances and exciting footage. | |

Like the Game Boyz interviews inserted all throughout 7? I can't believe Prince ruined it like that.  FREE THE 29 MAY 1993 COME CONFIGURATION!

It's so bad it's funny. I've never been able to watch it all the way through. I'm waiting for him to release a campy religious movie next. Should be a hoot!  | |

It was originally gonna be a video version of the album, with
the extra segues put back in and videos made for every track. Unfortunately it was only 2/3rds completed before Prince changed his mind/got bored with it/changed his name. So he assembled the existing video out of the completed footage and included some extra interview stuff, and that's what was released. | |

I liked it a lot. I loved the look of Prince´s world at that time, the songs are great and the movie just looks fantastic. See the man with the blue guitar, maybe one day he`ll be a star... | |
