thank god the whole NPG thing is gone, that is one band name that needed to go, he held on to that thing way too long, and to be honest only 2 of its lineups were good, the last few were awful boring lineups, im not crazy about 3rd eye girl as players, they seem to be forced girl rock band made up for a project, but i appreciate the return to rock, i was getting sick of these mixed bag albums like 3121 Musicology that were good, but they all were just routine throwaway Prince

NpG is not gone!!! has another 12-piece brass band that has joined the latest incarnation of his New Power Generation....So don't hate.....

What happened to 'Ida & the New Power Generation'?

I heard some guitar player utter that in Kopenhagen in 2011 or so.

Isn't Prince all about breaking the format and opening your mind to what's different?

Uptown ... Paisley Park ...

A lot of people really want to confine him to the box they think he should be in.

MGMT's debut album was titled "Oracular Spectacular". KT Tunstall has an album titled "Drastic Fantastic".

I will say this.


I friggen LOVE his afro. ( I wouldn't call it natural--that bitch has been washing the gray out for at least 10 or 15 years now ).

I'm not sure about it.

I like the 3girls.

An album might be a little to soon.

Touring will bond them and I think songs will grow.


And the flow for the album will come.


Band will probably not be a hitmachine.

But will be very apreciated as a life band.

And Donna is the star. She's just amazing.

Actually, I think a live cd might be working well for these girls.

I think their strength is in their live performances.

--------------------------------------------------------------------


Prince should go back were he came from.

An album by himself.

Nobody else.

He understands how it has to be.

He does not have to hide behind a band to record a cd.

That girl thing.

His flow will pour a wonderful cd.

Everyone bitching is still going to cop it.

Please release this ASAP!!! It will be a good accompaniment to any European tour!!!

Judging by some of the tracks we've heard think this will ROCK...

The new songs have been so unmemorable and lame, I really don't mind that this isn't a new Prince album. I do mind not minding though...if that makes any sense.

Also check the recent LOL-tour shows.

He'd rather do sampler set than play new stuff, or even stuff we haven't heard yet.

dickeheads...he said no more PRINCE cds .....so far we have Andy Allo and now 3rd eye girl...which amounts to the same thing as putting his name on them

He said a lot, like "the internet is dead" and so on. The man is a walking contradiction, some would say he's a dickhead. I say expect the unexpected.

But those CD's sound unlike his CD's.

Great News Prince looks like Eric Clapton on his Cream's Disraeli Gears era with this guitar and look, rock is coming

I doubt it. Given his affinity for sampler sets he thinks we still need some un-rocking stuff, even during live shows with a rock oriented band.

He said he'd never play the hits again.

He said the internet is ova.

He said he doesn't do albums anymore.

Lies.

I don't care if he wears those bug screen glasses the rest of his life or changes his name to $$$. I just want a kick ass record written by him and sung by him. We saw glimpses in "Dreamer" and "Laydown." Just play your guitar and sing the funk out of something!!!!

Eye don't!!!!

What exactly is there to be somewhat critical of at this point? No confirmed track list, no confirmed artwork, just a bunch of fan base speculation and assumptions(yet again).

Prince is now the lead singer of the world's finest Prince cover band.

I have heard that there will be no new album only the downloads that have already been posted.

Bummer
