Is larry finally out of the picture?

No mention of Larry at any of his recent shows. No remarks about him on the npgmc site. Did P finally give him the boot? Did Larry finally quit mooching off of whats left of Prince's success?

i think the days of Larry being incorporated into the shows are over. thankfully. now, if he'd just sleep with Mani, or go to the National Enquirer with some inside scoop, we'd see him kicked out of the picture completely.

let's make this happen!

He played during many of the U.S shows, but being as he doesn't want to travel anymore I guess Europe and Japan are out of the picture.

i have always enjoyed larry's performance's with Prince. I admit, sometimes he played a bit too long, but if you were able to work with one of your inspirations you would let them do their thing, right?

People who don't at least appreciate Larry are not very knowledgeable of music and probably have a Prince worship complex.

i think we all appreciated it when he and Prince started working together. but i think most of us are suffering from Larry overkill. what has he really added to Prince's music on record? some cheesy 70's vocals and chants and some fairly pedestrian bass playing. hearing them live together is another matter, but by now, in my circle of friends at this past celebration, the Larry portions of the show were the perfect opportunity for a cigarette break.

At this years celebration, there was something going on between them.The guy might play a good guitar but those faces he makes and his singing voice and his false personality in my opinion, just to keep a job,is enough to send a fan sick to the bathroom.

When he took his shoes off on stage at this years celebration and seemed to me to be pointing them towards the audience, I didn't know wether to laugh or get sick.
I think I did a little of both.

Let the guy reform Sly and the Family Stone and play night clubs, or work for the Watchtower Newspaper.

It's a shame that so many Fans are just so negative and sick of Larry who in my opinion is an Awesome,Cool Bass player. Well,since it's not fair to Larry Prince should cut him loose. I really can't stand hearing the Negativity surrounding Larry and the Jehovah Whitnesses anymore. Everyone should realize that Larry and Prince are very good friends. I think Larry can do well if he is doing solo work cause he's very Talented so that's all good.
