if this line is not hyprocritcal then i don't know what is:

taken from jukebox with a heartbeat "do the people really know what they want if u never give them what they need"

well, people would like 2 c a website that offers them a true insight 2 the music and per4mances. but no, legal heads go after the fanbase. smart move buddy thumbs up!

it's been said, "without u, there would b no us" turnabout is fair play my friend.
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

No, seriously. I hear what you're saying. But, if you contrast Prince's behavior with that of other acts (Dave Matthews Band, Pearl Jam come to mind immediately) who take the opposite approach with their fans and still command decent sales, fan loyalty and market interest, I don't see how we're left with any other conclusion but to call Prince selfish, greedy or idiotic.


Yes, he is selfish, greedy and idiotic. So selfish, greedy and idiotic that I managed to buy two concert tickets for one of his August shows at a price I wouldn't even get a Diet Coke for at a Madonna or Stones gig. So selfish, greedy and idiotic that I can decide if I want to buy his new album on Sunday with a newspaper for a price of £1.40 or if I'm patient and wait until August to pick it up for free at the concert. This little purple bastard!!! wink


You know those are the exceptions to what most recently has been a high-costing rule... wink

I'm Venus over there. I think I've made about eight or nine posts since I joined, which was a few months after I joined the org. The "other artists" section over there is absolutely horrible. Housequake ain't got shit on the org.

maybe he is more concerned with where it lead to rather than where it was....

kinda like wiping away the footsteps within the snow.

sometimes you don't need to know where he was but rahter than where he is...

ya know?

I agree. It's the more "academic" site. Prince shouldn't smack it down at all, because it's a lot better than his crappy official site. Actually, it's a lot better than the previous NPGMC site was too.
There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently

I have loads of videos of Prince's that are official releases i would like them on DVD stuff like SOTT SoV as the quality is getting worse and when i have friends come round that could be fans to be they would prefer seeing prince perform and not look at a jumpy picture.

can we settle the record for about the 9 billionth time, its not Prince it is his people who are doing this, yes probably something to do with his instruction, but shit all they are doing is in his best interest. If this is what he chooses that's fine, it is not attacking his fans or things like tha.

it is his people doing their jobs what they are paid to do, why must you people think Prince owes you something, Prince doesn't owe you folks a damn thing,be happy with what you have and stop looking a gift horse in the mouth, because to be honest that shit is disrespectful and ungrateful instead of acting like whiny children go out and do something more useful.

I'm not sure if it's the feeling he owes us something but it's like the Elvis thing ... what he gives to the world and for us who love it we always want more. He has done so much and only released 1/4 of it and the stuff that was released we can't find or it gets deleted. Keep it real...it is Prince doing "IT" because no one does anything without Prince's Ok or Sig. but like you said...it's his business if he wants to release it or if he doesn't. Maybe he has something instore for the future.

Why do people get upset if they don't like the thread someone started?

Prince is acting like a frustrated, grumpy old control freak. Maybe he needs to get laid more often so he can relax a little instead of being such a tight ass when it comes to releasing his material. Does he really hate his fans, or is he just turning into a weird, little old man?

Come on, it's definitely Prince doing it. He can't deny having full knowledge of what they're doing in his name. And what he's doing is not very well thought out--what other major artist doesn't want their free promotional videos on YouTube or fan sites? The same ones we were able to watch for years on TV? No other performer is suing to stop fans from watching them.

I've heard the rumor of the use of a housequake.com photo (with a watermark) on the new tourbook that Prince and one other person are credited with designing. That sounds kind of odd, considering the logo is clearly visible. Why do you think this happened?
