I think Imago made some good points in his post..

-- the original post..

and, I don't think it is "fair" to say it is "nonsense" like Tremolina did.

I understand if Imago was "a little hurt".

But of course no need for personal attacks, from both sides..

now, back on topic before the thread is locked, haha...

peace..

basically,it boils down to this....

In order for a song to be a hit,the artist and the record company have to be on good terms.As someone pointed out,how could Warners effectively promote a Prince project when he's is going around talking shit about them...writing "slave" on his face and dissing them in numerous interviews? It was an uncomfortable situation for all involved.

No, your post is nonsense. It's so off the mark I don't even know where to begin.

First, Gold was just an average song, but you obviously have no idea how pop music in the

states becomes successful. It has little to do with a great song. Cheryle Crowe's dreadful nonsese

was enjoying tremendous chart success at the time. You want to tell me it was superior to the Gold

Experience?

Shit, bitch please

The music scene at the time was dominated by this post-Cobain stuff that the industry was

trying to promote and Prince didn't fit (in combination with that afore mentioned stuff I stated

above which is dead on that your ignorant ass is calling nonsense )

WHOA!!!! Pump your brakes there kid, you 'bout to cross some lines. Tremolina made a comment in response to your post, and your response is to call her names? Is this really how you live your life? I know this is only the Internet, and it is all make believe, but come on son, you can do better than that, right?

oh shut up.

Haaaa, ok. Me shutting up.

Having almost finished the Matt Horne book i don't understand his dislike for this era yet he seems to like the NPS and Emancipation era, i don't get it. I loved this era, 92 - 96.

Me too: I the Come-Exodus-Gold-Chaos-Slave era 1993-1996 deeply,

Thanks for the "warning" I won't buy that book then.

Could it be this Matt Horne don't know about the "Gold" era, haven't listened properly..

Don't let it put you off, it's a very good book, it's just some of his likes/dislikes are a little strange.
