.....I have all of Trent's recent material and honestly, I have only played it once. Very weak material IMHO.

Graycap23 said:

I'm not hyping his stuff as I'm not a super fan His fans seem to be happy though. I do wish Trent would create that Prince album that he always wanted to do. Might get Prince thinking.....

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

...but why slam Prince 2 get his point across? Or any artist 4 that matter?

I don't really have any problem with what Trent said.

Nothinbutjoy said:

He's asking Prince to FREE THE MUSIC which is what Prince said he would do all along!

Trentreznipatiooooon, telling Prince how to do it

You guys do realize that Trent Reznor is probably not as obsessed with Prince as we are, right?

Why is it okay for Prince to dis on "music today" but not okay for Trent Reznor?

Because Prince is talented?

Yes i have heard prince slam todays music but not once have i heard him publicly slate someone elses work.

I think the point Trent is trying to make is that Prince is busy emulating today's music instead of dropping those incredible gems on an album and releasing that. I wish more artists challenged Prince so he'd put out another Black Album

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Well he could have used a better term than sucks. Trent has never made anything that brothers like have enjoyed so until he comes up with a 1999 album then and only then will his opinion mean anything more than the rest of us. And I think that the majority of the orgers seem to think that Prince has put out a great triple disc if we were to check the census of the views of the majority of the people that post here.

You act as if joining Lotusflow3r.com was the only way to purchase the album. I was always taught that when it comes to leisure items, never pay an amount that you can't afford to give away. I purchased the album at Target, and I have been jammin' Lotus and MPLS since I got them. I didn't join Lotusflow3r.com because I didn't and don't have $77.00 of disposable income. Prince has had a couple of cites before. You should have known what to expect. That being said, when I do get $77.00 of disposable income I will join. But, you can't purchase a pet rock and then get upset if it doesn't play fetch, roll over, or guard the house. It is a pet rock, ya know.

As for Trent Reznor slammin' Prince, "Plaaaeeese!!!" That no talent hack of b.s. sensationalism wouldn't know a good song if it kicked him in his pie hole. I'm so tired of all of these lame ass wanna be rockers who ain't even qualified to perm Jimi's hair and put on Little Richard's make-up and Pro Tool rappers who can't find middle C tryin' to cook in the kitchen and ain't got no grease. I say that constructively, ya know???

awww Trent is envious because Prince doesnt have to consistently giveaway free music , be active on Twitter or conduct corny April fools joke for his fans to like him. The last albums havent sucked, no matter what quality of music is in anyones opinion, it will always sell point blank.

let the games begin

crushingquiet said:

When did Prince ever "brag" about having hundreds of "great" songs? I've heard more talk about the vault from the media and insiders than I ever have from Prince. As far as Trent saying that Prince's last several records have sucked, That's all relative and his opinion. NIN ain't all that. I only liked one song of his and that was years ago. That's my opinion.

I think Princes bragging about the vault was just a way of building up his mystic, no less no more. Sure he has some unreleased music, most artists do. But I think the majority of quality trax have already surfaced. The bulk of what's in there probably doesn't amount to more than jam sessions.

Detroit said:

Exactly! I can only recall Prince talking about the NUMBER of songs he has recorded in the vault, only as a statement of the fact that he's recording all the time... that he lives, eats, breathes, sleeps music, etc.

The QUALITY of those songs... that has been fueled by fan-buzz, bootlegs, etc.

I bet you if Prince did go dig out really old "classic" vault material that's been bootlegged, people here would STILL complain about getting a bunch of old shit.

BeyondSpace said:

Also when Prince said he liked constructive critism, he also said he liked it from smart people

This is one of those threads that I figured bart would be on like a bum on a ham sandwich.

stanleylieber said:

Because most of the music today is CLEARLY God awful terrible. And, that's not my opinion. That's a fact. LOL

And, I don't think Prince ever said stuff in such a fashion as Trent did. Just sayin'.

PEJ said:

I wondered how long it would take for someone to complain that he wasn't here... so they could complain about him.

Obviously, people here are going to go nuts when someone like Trent Reznor disses on Prince. I don't think what Reznor said is that controversial. Reznor is someone who drew a lot of inspiration (and in some cases, samples) from Prince's earlier work. He's as qualified as anyone else to have an opinion, even if he disagrees with us.

Reznor used to tell a story about the time he met Prince. They were both at the WB offices at the same time for some reason. Reznor found himself passing Prince in the hallway. Reznor said hi. Prince ignored him and kept walking.

There's no real moral to that story except I thought it would be appropriate to tell it here. I now return you to the regularly scheduled defending of Prince and slamming of Reznor.

i get why he's razzing on prince, but rivers cuomo? i never really thought of him as prolific. he's released a couple of odds'n'sods solo albums, but those were just demos and scraps of songs...i didn't think they were supposed to be considered masterpieces.
