Should've known, Prince and Youtube do not mix :D

[SuiteShangriLa]

Stevie and Prince have similar feelings on alot of things...like Youtube.
only, Stevie didn't go as far as to have people working round the clock to pull anything related to her off the site. Prince did for the longest time...he eventually gave up.

video has been removed. anyone care to explain?

Prince's people clearly got to it, lol...

You spoke too soon :lol:

Unfortunately it seems Prince didn't give up :rolleyes:

omg! that was fast!

video has been removed. anyone care to explain?

it was a clip from an interview from 2007 that Stevie did for the Soundstage release...she told the Stand Back/Prince story and at the end she mentioned that after they finished recording the song they went out and played basketball

haha, i really can't imagine Stevie playing basketball, especially with those massive fingernails she's always got. Anyhow, even if they did i bet she wooped Prince's ass:D

[michelej1]

Prince's people clearly got to it, lol...

Yeah, he didn't want anyone to know that she totally slam dunked on him.

Imagine what other things she did with her hands that she shouldn't have been doing with massive nails. (like playing the piano...)

[silvasprings]

:lol: I swear prince probably has his own compound with Star wars like intensity where he makes sure no one posts anything about him.

That video was removed in like less than ten minutes, I bet he's got super creepy purple man senses:D

[silvasprings]

:thumbsup:

[SuiteShangriLa]

Stevie says in the interview that Prince is really good at basketball, and she's not. She said he could stand way back from the basket, turn around and shoot from behind and make the basket.
Charlie Murphy said in his 'True Hollywood Story' on Prince, on Chapelles Show, that he played basketball with Prince and Prince kicked his ass...while still wearing his purple velvet suit. lol.

I'm glad you ended that sentence with the piano in brackets. I didn't read that at first, so naturally my mind took a gander over the tracks to the dirty side of town :o:laugh::p

[CADreaming]

One.of.the.funniest.threads.ever.

The mental images are insane. Stevie in high tops, for instance...wait, no- that was a concert...

For some reason all I'm getting is flashbacks to Spacejam, with Stevie in the place of Michael Jordan. *Wonders if Prince will be using that iron lung once Tweety's finished with it after Stevie's kicks his bottom*

[kokoro]

Oh, how I long for good photoshopping abilities right now.

Since we're on the subject, what was up with the Stevie/Prince friendship?

According to Stevie on the Crystal Visions DVD, he was backstage wishing her luck at one of her Bella Donna shows, and of course we know he popped up to play a little synth on Stand Back, but how did they meet in the first place and how much did they hang out? Why exactly did they have a falling out?

Most important of all, what's this story I've heard about Stevie sleeping on his kitchen floor? That sounds like an awesome tale.

Kim Anderson was a promotion man for WB and had something to do with bringing Prince to the label...

:lol::lol::lol:
that pic is great!

as far as their friendship/relationship ending...I remember reading or hearing Stevie mention that she went to the movie premiere of Purple Rain, and when the scene where Prince slaps Appolonia came on, Stevie ran out of the theater, and hadnt spoke to Prince since???

[SuiteShangriLa]

and the kitchen floor story was something about Stevie being at Prince's house, and she got so stoned that she fell asleep on his kitchen floor???

[SuiteShangriLa]

heres the audio clip of Stevie from the interview where she mentions her and Prince played basketball

and the kitchen floor story was something about Stevie being at Prince's house, and she got so stoned that she fell asleep on his kitchen floor???

Here's one quote from RS 1998:

"'Thousand Days' was written about my non-relationship with Prince," says Nicks, who had earlier composed "Stand Back" with him - although she notes he's never called her back "to set up his payment on 50%" of the latter. "Days" recounts an abortive, all-night '80s recording session with him at his Minneapolis home during a Fleetwood Mac tour, climaxing with Nicks "smoking my pot - he didn't agree with my lifestyle - and going to sleep on Prince's floor in his kitchen. I like him, but we were just so different there was no possible meeting ground."

I read something else (maybe a few different quotes) where she was driving with him on the freeway in Minneapolis to his house and something about he didn't even want her to take an aspirin. LOL.

Here's the driving quote - LOL!! So freaking funny - and she did say she had on tennis shoes! Oh, how I love this woman she amuses me so...

Stevie: "You wanna hear a story about Prince? One time we played New York and he came and picked me up . . . he wanted to take me out to his house. Of course none of my people wanted to just let me go. Nine-thirty in the morning. We get in Prince's purple car. He was in his purple clothes too. Swear to God. I had halfway gotten out of my stage clothes, but I still had the skirt on, and tennis shoes . . . I get in his car, and we're, I kid you not, in Minnesota. We went down the freeway at 150 miles an hour. And I am, like, "We're gonna get pulled over. This is gonna look so bad. We're gonna get pulled over, Prince. We're going 150 miles an hour." So I went out and spent the day at his purple house. We kind of played around with a song for a little while, in his recording studio a little bit, and then he took me back to be at the Fleetwood Mac plane at, like, three o'clock in the afternoon. I made it back on time to take off and go to the next gig. But I swore we were gonna be pulled over. And how are we gonna . . . looking like we look . . . how are we going to get out of this one? What are we gonna say? We were, you know, we were just casually cruising out to your house, you know . . . at 150 miles an hour. Prince, we're gonna go to jail, both of us. He didn't care. He kept going." - Q104.3 Radio in New York - Interview - May 7, 2001

Game...blouses....

Anyone want any pancakes?

Thats exactly what i thought of the first time I heard her say that they played basketball...Charlie Murphys True Hollywood Stories. :laugh:

[CADreaming]

Oh this is my favorite one....from Details 1994:

Details: Really? What about you and Prince?

Stevie Nicks: Let me state this here and now: We did not have a sexual relationship--I did not let that happen.

Details: How did you meet?

Stevie Nicks: When we were recording "Stand Back" I decided to be really blatant and call Prince up and tell him that I had been inspired to write the song while listening to "Little Red Corvette." I told him that I figured my song was half his. He came over to the studio where I was recording and listened to it--as I turned extremely white and started to shake. Then he walked over to the piano and put on a really incredible keyboard track. And not only did Prince make it up right on the spot, he played it with only two fingers. Then he left.

Details: Did you see him again?

Stevie Nicks: Yes, when I was on the road a year or so later. I was sick, and Prince brought some cough syrup up to my hotel room. He was sweet--he walked around the room folding things, fluffing pillows, tidying up in general. Then he gave me a spoon of it himself. But when I asked for another spoonful he changed--he said, "I didn't come all the way up here just to get you hooked on another substance!" Then he left.

Details: Do you still see him?

Stevie Nicks: No. I was at the premiere of Purple Rain, and in the scene where he slaps Apollonia I freaked and had to go sit in the bathroom. Afterward I went back to see him, and when he asked why I'd left, I had to tell him, "When you popped Apollonia, it kinda popped my brain." He looked at me like it just killed him. We've never spoken since. (sighs) It’s a shame, really...we were alike in so many ways.

Details: Such as?

Stevie Nicks: Well, for one thing, we both liked wearing black chiffon around the house.


:laugh:Just:laugh::laugh::laugh:

"Then he left." , "Then he left.", "He asked why I'd left." ... I see a pattern here...

[kokoro]

It sounds like they both have multiple personalities too! :laugh:

The Stevie/Prince relationship is just the gift that keeps giving for hilariousness.

well...they are both Gemini

Yeah, I was going to mention that, but I didn't want to piss off any Gemini who frequent the board. I might get the mean personality. :laugh:

Speaking of the purple one, I just saw a new Halle Berry makeup commercial
and I hate to say this but she's starting to look like Prince. Scary!

i've ALWAYS thought 1000 days was about prince. not sure why, the "drag you up the stairs" verse just makes me think of how i perceive their "relationship" to have gone. soooo great to finally get confirmation. anyone have a more specific rationale as to why this song "feels" like it's about Prince?

[HejiraNYC]

I'm not sure what that line has to do with their "non-relationship." I believe that line is literal in meaning; Prince literally had to drag her sleepy ass off the kitchen floor and up the stairs! "You've been asleep, well?" "'You've been asleep' for how long, she says?"

Hey, she'd been out there running the court, shooting hoops and her stuff had worn off..the woman was tired!

[michelle2677]

i find it amazing that prince would get pissy when stevie would take drugs, but he thought it was perfectly acceptable to slap someone in a movie. granted, it's a movie and i understand that but if someone got upset by it, i don't think it should be enough to ruin a friendship. apparently she wasn't THAT upset-she came back. but it must have pissed him off that she didn't look at him like the God he thought he was.

that, in conjunction with the thousand days song, sounds like prince was a tad on the controlling side.

[kokoro]

Hey, wait, I just noticed something.

"I like him, but we were just so different there was no possible meeting ground."

"It’s a shame, really...we were alike in so many ways."

Typical Stevie! But we still love her and her confusingly contradictory ways. :laugh:

That's such an odd expression to me. What does that mean?

He looked at me like it just killed him. We've never spoken since. (sighs)

There must be more to this than what Stevie expressed in this interview. By the way, the photographs I've seen of her at the premiere are lovely.

well...they are both Gemini

In that case, we would have not multiple but split personalities. There is a difference. At least, we think so. ;)

Yeah, I was going to mention that, but I didn't want to piss off any Gemini who frequent the board. I might get the mean personality. :laugh:

That's right! Do be careful. :p

Thanks. Had never heard this before.

[sleepless child]

haha, i really can't imagine Stevie playing basketball, especially with those massive fingernails she's always got. Anyhow, even if they did i bet she wooped Prince's ass:D

Have you seen Dave Chappelles comedy show? The Charlie Murphy skits? Apparently Prince plays some mean basketball and in stage clothes. LOL

[Macfanforever]

Thanks for the clip.I would love to see Stevie playing basketball on video.

[desertangel]

:sorry: this post made me laugh...

Guess I'm narrow-minded in my old age, but when I think of basketball... well, you know, 6'8, 7'4 - the thought of those two... it just kind of made me :laugh:. nothing against short people cuz I'm one myself. It just tickled my funny-bone for some reason. :wavey:

[icinglover1995]

:lol:I bet she still had on her platforms and top hat while she played.. :lol:

[Macfanforever]

She probably had to use stilts or a pogo stick too.LOL......
