Morris Hayes, one of his two keyboard players from this band, tells a.great story of how he asked him to have the gunshot sample ready for the performance because Prince had decided he didn't want to shake Letterman's hand after the performance. Hence the 'suicide' at the end of the song. Also, Prince apparently told the band to cut out the second verse and go straight to the bridge right before they got on. Sonny Thompson and Michael Bland are locked in on this track and Prince's guitar solo is perfection!! I was 15 years old when I saw this in 1994!

I've always known of Prince and his music. But it was only recently that I've started to appreciate his skills with the guitar. Man, he could shred and I totally respect him all the more for that. May he rest in peace.

@BobbySacamano Год назад

Took me a minute, too. In fact, it was quite possibly this performance that I saw when I was young that I realized he wasn't just some weirdo pop star. Still young enough to see him as that, but old enough and musically adept enough to recognize game.

Chris Tucker recently told the story of how Luc Besson had originally wanted Prince to play his part of *_Ruby Rhod_* in ‘The Fifth Element’, but Prince turned it down. After the film’s sucessfull release, Chris was at a party with Prince and asked him why he didn’t take the role; Prince told him that he refused to wear the wardrobe and demanded that the character be of Prince’s own style 😂

You can tell hes basically playing prince in the film.

@henrinevermind1695 5 месяцев назад

Only from the very IGNORANT types who IDENTIFY themselves to be emotionally and intellectually superior to others. This is in regards to a CONtractual deception regarding his relationship with Warner Brothers Music Corporation. Ownership of his Master Recording that he does in his own studio requires no up front financial support or backing "ONLY DISTRIBUTION" unlike other artists/musicians of his status. BAD BUSINESS is BAD BUSINESS PRACTICES especially when they refuse to negotiate or work with him regarding issues CONtractually!!!!!

@Fredwitrave 5 месяцев назад

I'm not saying music business is free from sin. I find it disrespectful compared to people who where slaves in the true sense of the word.
