Keef, mate, you're slipping. You're forgetting Darling Nikki, which Tipper Gore (Al's soon to be ex-wife) heard her pre-teen daughter playing one night, and promptly kickstarted the movement to label music with those 'Explicit' stickers.
theres a few more i forgot but i'd be here all day naming his explicit tunes
The soundtrack album might have had something to do with it.
Then he's a very talented musician who made a stupid, egotistical, self-involved movie.
or three.....
Wow. Sorry. The movie was brilliant then.
he's also the only one i know of that changed his name to a symbol....and then changed it back.
dare i say the movie was as bad as Jagger's movie...Running Out of Luck.
IORR............but I like it!
Unfortunately, as bad as Purple Rain was, sadly, Running Out of Luck was worse.
ALTHOUGH, I did enjoy the scene of Mick lip sync'ing and slapping his knee to a bemused record store attendant, what was it, to Brown Sugar...I'm going back 25 years ago and doing this from memory. He was trying to find a Stones record but all he came across was Julio Iglesius.
Didn't he call himself Micky Jaggero or something?
Can I get some independent verification on this, to help substantiate?
That was a self-deprecating and hysterical moment in "mickstory".
you've forgotten about the "sheryl-crowing". or maybe you missed that thread.
yup legally changed his name. it was a smart way to get out of what he felt was a bad recording contract. when his contract with WB records was up he changed it back
that was in yesterday's edition. can't wait for tomorrow's ceremonial, uncalled for bashing....
Proof that Miss You doesn't have to suck live. And check out the Mick impression.
not sure about the Julio Iglesias bit (can't remember)....but i believe you are
correct on the rest. one of our fellow IORRers uses "mickijaggero" (sp?) as his alias.
and don't forget the rae dawn chong love scene.
IORR............but I like it!
Never seen it, but now I kinda want to (LOL).
That's my favorite part.
It's very entertaining, maybe not in the way the Purple One intended. Purple Spinal Tap.

to be sure what passes for 'R & B' or rock these days certainly sucks, most 'performers' need autotuners and gadgets and gizmos just to sound half-assed, which doesn't matter anyway since their songs are so terrible
you just can't compare todays's 'R&B' acts to Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Ray Charles, Patti LaBelle etc etc etc; these people really had soul ..
Prince? I don't know where he fits in but I can't stand him or his music; never could.. sometime years ago he announced himself a 'musical genius.' I was like, that's great but I don't give a sh*t.
I've yet to hear anything that impresses me from Prince, self described genius or not. Yeah, he can play, but not all that great. And as far as his soloing, I remember seeing a live concert on TV once where he was playing a solo, making all kinds of distorted faces. I was thinking, it doesn't really look like he's playing that, and sure enough behind him was some other guy playing the solo, but acting real calm like he was trying to hide that he was playing the solo. Lame. Prince should change his name from whatever dumb symbol it is these days to 'Irrelevant."
prince is certainly playing the solo here:

His "genius" was to offer a sanitized version of black music to white audiences. In other words James Brown or Clinton were too black, they had smelly armpits, they were not "clean", but they were talented.
Prince's armpits smelt like lilac so he was a cross-over artist and he became the soundtrack of the Yuppie's 80's. Clean funk (an oxymoron) clean soul, clean artist, no drugs nor "I'm black and I'm proud", good stuff for MTV.
And guess what? When the 80's died, Prince died too. In the 90's he limped on half-baked albums, noone cared about except his hardcore/blind fans. Now that he's back to a semi-anonymous state, he blames the whole world for it. Sad...
yup his songs are so clean. nothing more family friendly than songs such as "sexy m.f.", "gett off", "cream", "pussy control", "orgasm", "soft and wet", "head", 'do me,baby", "jack u off", "loose", and many more. with songs like that he should be writing kids books

Dear Prince,
If the Internet is dead, how do companies like HP, IBM, Oracle, Cisco, etc. make their billions of dollars selling gear?
What a nutcase Prince is. Comparing MTV to the internet....LOL.

Can I say that "Purple Rain" was the most overrated, silliest, egotistical film ever made (at least with such a large budget). A bunch of teenage fantasies on celluloid: he's the coolest guy in town; he's the leader of the band, he rides a cool motorcycle (and rides off on it with the hot chick); he triumphs over his bandleader rival, he protects his Mom from his abusive Dad. I can't believe how many people fawned over this piece of junk when it came out. At least the Guns 'N Roses video with the dolphins was shorter.

prince is certainly playing the solo here:
he is, and it's not all that great, either; alot of showboating is about it
here is how the solo for that song is supposed to be played, hell even the other guy, the other guy that's not even jeff healey (never mind that he's fricken blind) whose name I don't even know, is a better soloist than Prince

hold on, here is how the solo is supposed to be played?????? so now every song has a set solo and anyone who does the song is supposed to play it the way it was on the album? thats a damn riot considering no one in the stones can even play a solo much less play it exactly as it was recorded. eric clapton has mentioned that prince is one of the best guitar players around today, do i trust you over eric clapton?

- - 'should be played' was a euphemism for playing it without the overbearing showboating
prince or jeff healey as a guitarist..hmmm..let me think
no wait, that one's a no brainer. .. and the better one couldnt even see
clapton also said stevie ray vaughan was one of the best guitar players around - that time he was right.
