Yes indeed.

Ronny.

Wooo hooo!!! Thanks so much for the info!

This is great news... betta get the blank tapes ready then! (I love a good laugh!... sorry, I'm not being nasty about Prince's clips or anything! Or maybe I am! LOL!)

It would be really cool if it was 25th, because that would be a great lead-up to the Bris concert on 27th!

Please keep us updated if Rage posts a definitive date.

Cheers, Pandora xx

Yes, Will do. They will also post (a few days b4) on their website the videos they will play on the night

Bring it on...

Thank god I have my new DVD recorder...VHS can jump in the lake!

Finally I'll get some Prince vids...

Anthony what would we do with you? You should charge US$25 next year - I'll join your club just for the Oz updates alone!

hunh? OZ? Like, the HBO show?

RAGE? Like, Rage against the Machine?

Thanks Bro!

New DVD recorder? Cool. Basic ones are like $899. Im holding out 'till I can afford those ones with the 80 gig hard drive

I remember the 1989 Rage TV special in 1989/90. Back to back promos in full length from I Wanna Be Your Lover to Scandalous give or take a couple of exceptions ( I think they missed out Let's Pretend We're Married and 4 The Tears In Your Eyes ). I bought a VHS copy of this and it remained one of the best promo compilations for ages. Certainly better than the official Hits collection.
I wonder if they update it and include all the vids from 1990 onwards , that would be some Prince Marathon.Fingers crossed.

Exactly...must sound funny to overseas folk!

Imagine MTV doing a Prince special and playing every single video of Prince's in one hit - thats what Rage is! I doubt they will be able to play every one, but it will still be cool to have 5hrs worth of Prince!

OH you people just suck. You suck bad.

Damn. I... I. Um.

Damn. You people just suck.

Wooofrickinhooo!

I switched on Rage a month or so ago and wo and behold to my amazement they were playing the video of Sex Shooter!!!

I thought we had started celebrations for the 20th anniversary early or something.

Here's the plan yo!

Go into u're nearest local electrical dept on Saturday the 25th and buy -

1 High Definition Set Top Box

&

1 DVD Recorder


Take Home and set it up and record the Rage special in HD onto DVD.

Next morning, return HD box and DVD recorder (retain all packaging and u're reciept), and say that it wasn't what u expected and request a full refund.

Then u have u're DVD disk with many pleasures for years to come!

Besides being funny as hell this is actually a very sound idea!

Rage now has on their website a "history" of Prince (ripped off from Rolling Stone.com), but it also includes a link to PRINCE ORG! - Go and check it out!

Then click Prince Special in yellow
