Prince expected his band to follow his lead at every turn.

“Prince would push you to the limits. Like, if you came in today for a rehearsal, he’d go, ‘I’ve got a new song,’ and we’d learn it. But we probably wouldn’t play it for six months, and he would still expect us to play it just like you learned it today.”

For that matter, he wouldn’t tell the band the set list.

“That made it a challenge and made you have to step up your game, because everything you did had to be on point,” Scott says. “And if you made a mistake, he would look at you and rub his fingers together, and that meant you got docked.

“One time he fined me $1,000. I said, ‘You’ll never fine me again.’ And he never did.

“Although he did dock the whole band once because he went to the bridge too early and we didn’t follow him. He said, ‘I never make mistakes — you all made a mistake by not following me.’ So we all got fined.”
