have you ever attend or heard someone from audiance shouting something bad to prince?
if he heard how he reacted?

ever heard about when he was the opening act for the rolling stones back in '81?

Yes!

At the ONA show in Dublin when he asked "Do you love God" I shouted back "No. Play some music".
I don't think he heard me.

And when he said "Join the Club" I shouted "Fuck Off!". I heard a few other people around me shouting the same thing. I don't he heard that either, because of all the loopers up the front, making a racket.

On Black MF, it sounds like someone shouts loudly between a couple of songs,

"Bring back Michael Jackson".


It may be something else, but if it is that, then that's cruel.

*Finishes playing 'Honkey Tonk Woman'

"I once opened for the Rolling Stones... I was booed of stage....
Perhaps i shoulda played that shit... Or perhaps i shoulda played this!"

*Roars into a wicked version of 'Bambi'

it wasnt directed at prince, it was directed at larry graham...when they came out during the 2002 celly with days o wild, somebody in front of me was holding up two middle fingers

SquarePeg said:

dayum, a double salute...

SquarePeg said:

I was there. That was a loser.

AsylumUtopia said:

That's fucking great. Keep up the good work.

AsylumUtopia said:

its funny how some people have a good time, lol. but hey, y'all paid your ticket "like u'rybody else up in thur".

thebanishedone said:

yes. and i've heard it vice versa as well. prince...surprise, surprise...has the ability to be quite a royal dick to his fans sometimes.

I threw up two middle fingers and booed a few times after Prince made us wait an extra few hours before taking the stage, played only 2 or 3 of his own songs, preached about how Larry changed his life, and gave Larry full control of the stage. I wasn't the only pissed of one there, but the rest stayed quiet as Prince-ass-lickers cheered and danced the night away.

I would love to have seen the look on your face.

EvilWhiteMale said:

but isn't that precisely why one goes to a concert? why would they be prince ass-lickers just for enjoying the concert for which they paid to see. perhaps you should have tried that instead of pretending you were shocked at prince's lateness. come on now...we all know that fool is not showing up on time. when i go to parties i'll tell friends i'll be there but they know i may be prince late, michael jackson late or whitney houston late. that's just how it is. no sense in getting upset over it.

AsylumUtopia said:

Why?

Showing disdain for your favorite artists is the "in thing" to do nowadays

OdysseyMiles said:

Sounds like a lack of home training to me

Wasn't there some dame who said eating ice-cream all the way through one of the ONA soundchecks??

Big up to all the folks who show their disdain in person. Especially to whoever gave Larry the two fingered salute - right on!!

Believe me, there was a lot to be pissed off about. And when I talk about Prince-ass-lickers, I'm talking about those who feel as though Prince will become their best friends if they cheer real loud. They overdo it to get his attention. Then you have the people who are seeing him for the first time, so naturally they're all star struck and shit, so they'll enjoy anything.

The Emporium, London 95. Gold Tour aftershow. Yes it was a great gig, probably the best P gig I've been to.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Is it really true that somebody threw a bag of chicken at him at this gig?

pacey68 said:

Yeah, that'd be the Colonel...
He's been pissed off with P ever since he screwed up that Uh Huh Pepsi deal - you know how much more chicken he could have sold with Prince rocking the ads for the soda pop he stocks?

Dolphonic said:

Whoops, with all that talk about the London '95 aftershow I thought you were talking about that gig, and then I realised you were asking about the '81 concert - 8 years before the pepsi thing?

pacey68 said:

that bag o'chicken and a bunch of other shit, yeah...

CynthiasSocks said:

You guys should ease up on the old kool-aid. You don't know what you're talking about, and please do not presume to make any judgements about my upbringing. If you had been there, which you clearly were not, you would know exactly why I, and many others, told him to fuck off.
If either of you started preaching at me or tried to make me feel like a second class citizen for not joining your club when I've paid you to entertain me, then I'd tell you to fuck off too. Nothing disdanful about it, no lack of home training either. It's just that when I pay someone to entertain me I don't expect them to try sell their god or their club to me, I expect them to do what they're paid for.

Having said all that, were talking about a very minor detraction from what was otherwise an utterly brilliant concert. The only reason I brought it up is because the question was asked. I wish I hadn't. I certainly didn't expect presumptions about my behaviour or upbringing to be made.

Sorry, but shouting insults at a great artist is incredibly disrespectful and tacky. So juvenile.

He works his ass off to give you albums like SOTT and 1999, and you show your appreciation for his musical gifts by shouting petty insults at him. Ridiculous.

If you feel venom towards him, stay at home and vent it at places like this. Don't try to sabotage the man's concerts, that's his craft.
