Prince Gives A Fan His Guitar During a Performance, Then Later, Takes it Back!

I was lucky enough to sit front row during a taping of "The Tonight Show." I was there for one reason, and one reason only -- to see Prince. After suffering through Paul Giamatti and Emma Roberts, Prince came on and performed "Dreamer."

As the song was winding down, Prince took off his guitar and walked out into the crowd -- I had no idea what he was doing. He walked right up to me and just simply handed me his guitar and walked away. I stood there stunned for about 20 seconds while my friend Trent went nuts. We both kinda strummed the guitar before I turned around and held it up to the crowd triumphantly.

After another 30 seconds or so, someone came around and retrieved the guitar. Now, I was all excited about this whole thing -- calling and texting everyone I can think of. But when I came to work today, everyone said the same thing -- PRINCE OWES YOU A GUITAR. I believe Harvey's quote was, "You're a schmuck for giving it back."

So here's the question, does Prince owe me a guitar?

^ My thoughts exactly. I always did think the guy was a jerk. :p

Oh pleeez!! With all the money Prince has, he can afford to part with ONE guitar!! Better yet, he probably gets them free anyway from the guitar company he plays on(sorry, I don't know what brand of guitar Prince plays).

:rolleyes:

If Prince was trying to make himself look like a jerk, I think he succeeded beyond his wildest dreams.

He certainly did!! :rolleyes:

[waichingliu81]

he has made millions of dollars worldwide through his records, not to mention from royalities as well, and so with the money he has in his bank account, he has plenty, in order for him to afford a new guitar but come on- that is a bit harsh coming from him. his attitude has sunk to a new low. you could say he is not as wacko as jacko, but with the way he treats other people, prince needs to learn some manners.

[catlover79]

He refuses to sign autographs, and now this. Prince has to get it through his BIG head that if it wasn't for the fans, he wouldn't be where he is now. ohno: :mad:

Not to mention the purple velvet suits with the feminine lacy shirts, too much gel in those geri curls and too much lipstick and eyeliner. The guy makes Freddie Mercury look like Vin Diesel! ;)

So, is it fair to sat that Prince is no prince?

That's the way Prince treats all of his fans... sorry to say. He could care less about them, apparently...
