bouche Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Prince Jams with Stereofox at the Green Door in L.A. Boy would I love to hear this. Read the description by one of the band members. Imagine this happening to your band.So I get this tap on my shoulder and turn to see this very pretty young lady. I chin up and attempt a sly grin like I do - she asks “Would your band mind letting Prince sit in for a tune?†Jaw on the floor, I am like “I’m sorry?†Turns out he had been there and seen some of our set and wanted to jam on a cover with us. It was like when you get a gold star in kindergarten - you know you did something right but your not sure what, and you feel that sensation of not-the-short-bus kind of “I’m special.â€Steve Riolo added this: We were about 2 minutes into the song when Josh walked over to me and told me that Prince wanted to play my guitar. Shortly after that, I saw him off to my left, throwing on some dark sunglasses and walking toward me. I felt a sudden jolt of…something…maybe it was shock…what had started out as a rumor 20 minutes prior was now a stark reality. Prince was standing next to me and about to play with my band! I took off my guitar and handed it over to him…he asked what key we were in…I told him and then stepped out of the way, watching in a sort of mesmerized awe as he sat down on my amp and started jamming with the boys. All I could do was smile. It was an unforgettable surreal experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just As Long As We're 2gether Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 hahah... my imeem prince buddy!we've recently unpacked all of my vinyl and I think prince takes up a whopping 10 percent or more of the collection. He put out lots of vinyl. I should add more stuff to my imeem profile and share. I haven't used that site in a while. I can't believe that all the prince I put up previously has not been taken down.

bouche Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Darling Nikki is one of his greatest vocal performances. There is nothing like it. I don't even think there is an influence out there. Pure Prince.i'm going to add some Minneapolis Genius...I haven't listened to that in a while, but it's a bunch of prince demos from the 70's. Every instrument is Prince. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Did you hear the uncut version of Darling Nikki I have up on the imeemz? Just noticed there's a Prince Purplelectricity party at Revival on Sept. 19. Something to do with the release of a book and CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted August 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 I commented above about Darling nikki, but I didn't realize it was an extended/EP version. I wish there were prince parties in Ottawa. I might have to set one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
