foreel though, anybody here kevin smith's take on prince? How many virgin sacrifices do you think happen in the studio D lounge?
the funny thing was, since he was like the engineer's engineer, he rarely(if ever) was even in the studio when Prince was there....evidently Prince likes to most of his stuff in private.
Virgin sacrifices? I'm looking more like, "where the camels at???"
Have you check out the new "Evening with..." DVD? There's a funny postscript about Prince being not too happy about his story at Paisley Park.
um...yea dude. kevin smith goes on about how fanatical prince is about christianity.
anyone see him live at the garden? he had all of madison square in the palm of his hand....
That and his even larger blouse collection.
Prince is on his shit, for real. I hear stories about a lot of artists who really couldn't care less about recording quality, mixing, mastering, etc. but it really shines through in Prince's music, because he's got a very unique sound on every one of his records. Dude was using the Linndrum (first drum machine using sampled sounds) waaaaay back in the day before others were up on it (Roger Linn went on to develop the MPC60).
Jealous of the studio. Could fit an orchestra in some of those rooms.
well, let's keep in mind he still wears velour suits and hi heeled boots on stage, so maybe home decor isn't the first place he should start.
i've got a friend here in town who used to mix for prince there (you should see his resume)
and he wired a studio here in town with an ssl desk, mad crazy outboard stuff, all that for days,
all to 2"
man he's got crazy stories. prince in the midle of the night, bathrooms wired like vocal booths,
mixing a-ha, moris day, george clinton. mad cats rent that space out. my buddy is humble as hell
too and lost his job on some prince is crazy type steeze, but i could pick his brain for years. . .
The art dept room gave me a great idea for my dining room. I am going paint words like "fine dining" and "delicious" on the walls.
I thought 3121 (his most recent album) was pretty good
*strolling/scrolling through the studio* Where's the Linndrum?
b/w "Is that Carlos Boozer's basement?"
this just never stops being funny...
"shoot the J, SHOOT IT!"
Not sure how I feel towards Prince. However I will be going to his new club called 3121 here in Vegas tonight to see Esthero. Should be illy.
- spidey
take a closer look at the carpet in the game room - dude has a carpet of a hand scratching a record. the needle is his logo.
p.s. my ex used to date prince in the 80's and she says that he really does dress like that 24/7 - even just lounging around the house. game, blouses.
I read an article about how he and Larry Graham unlock Biblical secrets to the "Fountain Of Youth"!!!!!!!!
without any of that he would not be prince, now would he ?
one of my homies is real tight with some of the right people, he went to princes crib for a party, watched him jam...doing james brown covers and what not.
cats can say what they want...prince is the man. never scared.dude has reinvented his sound a million times over, and that is only what we have actually heard.imagine all the tracks we havent.
