Prince, stop wasting time

It's such a shame you're wasting time, In my opinion you're at the height of your talent.

Your guitar playing has never been better, and lotus flower is such a return to form.

I hope you have a big tour in the pipeline, make the most of today biggrin

I also feel you're are the last of a rare breed, real musicians, we need you.

I think I agree with "damn", Prince's business isn't runned good... I know he's 51, but:

Prince is wasting too much time, by not releasing stuff, e.g. Live DVDs, B-sides, re-mastered albums.... the list goes on...

some of this kind of stuff goes directly into the vaults, and will probably never see the light of day.

But who are we..... to critizise Prince.. ?

The height of his talent was about 15 years ago. That was his last great prolific and exciting period. There won't be a big tour, so don't hold your breath. We need the ballsy 80's and 90's Prince, not the grandpa Prince of the 00's.

whoa. put that mothafudging cellphone on hold, friend; Prince has always kept busy in the whole decade! one of my major beefs is that Stevie Wonder can spend 10 years not releasing an album, but Prince pops one out one every year. This man is definitely always busy with something. Now if you just mean putting together his legacy, then I agree, he needs to do something about that.

So? Why single out Wonder? Why not compare Prince's output to that of an artist who has been busy?

Really? So what then did he release in 2008? 2005? 2003? 2002? 2000?

Lotusflow3r is mere months old and it's already in the trash as far as Prince is concerned. Hell, it was DOA. Remember how back in the day we didn't just get an album every year, but also SINGLES, VIDEOS, TOURS and SIDE PROJECTS? An album wasn't just something that got released one day, but it was the start of a month-long assault on the senses, a stream of events.

I'd rather have him take ten years than release crap. Just because you have a lot of something does not make it good.

If you think Prince is wasting time then maybe you ought to do something relevent with yours. Do you know what Prince was doing with his life when he was 18? do you know how many hits he had under his belt 18 years ago when you were just being BORN? If he came to your town tomorrow could you afford to buy a ticket to see him. think before you post. confused


Hate to bump this thread, but what an obnoxious post.

And yes I could afford a ticket, don't even see how that's relevant.

This is basically complaining about Prince being Prince, a true waste of time. 30 years into the career we should all know that he releases a lot of music almost annually. Complaining that he should take his time and only release "good music" is silly at this point. He obviously releases what he thinks is good. If he took more time, we'd just get more triple albums with the same complaints that he should have edited it down to just the "good" songs.

Damn people have gotten nasty on the internet. Even on a Prince fansite where we should all be cordial people are nasty and cruel to one another -- so much hatred and venom. I guess it's easy to say this type of thing if you never have to worry about facing the person in real life. True cowards. Like the entire internet, this site just shows the breakdown of civility and decency in our society. We got to do better. (and watch...someone will post something vile directed at me and prove my point...)

Plenty.

2000: The internet release of the songs that would comprise the bulk of "The Chocolate Invasion" and "The Slaughterhouse," in addition to the physical singles sold at the Hit-N-Run tour that fall. Plus the interenet download "Cybersingle" and the "Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic" remix album.

2002: The One Nite Alone... piano album and the One Nite Alone...Live! album

2003: Xpectation and N.E.W.S.

2005: The "S.S.T./Brand New Orleans" single. Plus "Te Amo Corazon" was released before the end of the year

2008: The "F.U.N.K." single was released to iTunes

You may not have enjoyed these releases, and some were only available online, but he was plenty active during those years.

Ha, yeah, I was editing my post to add that when I saw that you added it...

The quality is debatable, but there's no denying Prince has been busy this decade.

Don't expect facts and logic to pierce through Bart's biased vitriol! I almost cant believe that Bart is actually trying to insinuate that one of the most productive artists ever is lacking in terms of how busy he is! Completely ludicrous, you old whingebag!

This thread is ridiculous though - Prince is one of the most prolific artists of his generation. He's up there with legends like Zappa in terms of output - accusing him of wasting time is without any basis - its just greed on your part.

...we have only scratched the surface of what the mind can do...

I'll step up to this one! How about people are approaching these fams, who tend to be YOUNG with common sense? Youngsters take offense but the elders know what they are talking about. When some of these people grow up they'll understand.

Oh who am I kidding, we got delusional old grandma/grandpa fams too lol
