Guitar World Interview fakey
Steen
it's written by Belgian reporter Serge Simonart. And guess what? He does
the same trick in this article as he did in his book "Fuck Off And Other
Quotes": he steals quotes from other interviews and pretends like he asked
the question. In his book there's a story about him walking into Owen
Husney (the man who got Prince his Warner contract) in a Minneapolis record
store. Than he states that famous story about Husney taking the demos to
Warner and that the Warner people asked: "Who is this group?" (I think you
all know that story). Simonart stole this story LITERALLY from the Prince
Omnibus (BBC?) documentary!!! I have the proof on video! AND WORST THING
IS: HE DOES THE SAME NOW!!! In the GW-interview he says to Prince: "It's
interesting to hear that Elvis Presley is been an influence on you" and
Prince says: "I was brought up in a black'n'white world... black and white,
night and day, rich and poor.... (blahblahblah)". THIS IS A LITERALLY QUOTE
FROM THE 1985 MTV INTERVIEW!! I have the proof on CD! And there's another
quote about Prince telling about the Miles Davis tapes he'll release one
day; I have literally read that somewhere else before! (I think it was in
Dutch magazine OOR)
Man, what a fake reporter... I suspect him from stealing more quotes...
This kinda journalism makes me wanna vomate! It certainly puts the whole
"trust thing" at the beginning of the interview in a bad taste
perpective....
If any1 recognizes more quotes, I'll gladly read them in this group!! Let's
make a quiz of it! Let's call it "Serge's Sources" :)
Oh well... maybe there's a nice job for him at an English tabloid... ;)
Just thought to let y'all know!!
Greetz,
Steen
