Has Prince run out of gimmicks? Since Musicology every Prince release has had a gimmick to attract attention. A chance at a golden ticket. Free with a concert ticket. Exclusive to one chain of stores. Free with a newspaper. Is that whats holding up Plectrum Electrum? Is the Prince management team having trouble creating the excitement around a new cd? Has Prince run out of gimmicks? | |

We're all still here talking about him, so apparently not. He always comes up with something unexpected, infuriating, fascinating, embarrassing, entertaining to keep audiences coming around. "So fierce U look 2night, the brightest star pales 2 Ur sex..." | |

Is it gimmicky or is he just dead set against being conventional? Doesn't matter to me as long as it's released somewhere. Everybody stop on the 1...GOOD GOD! Uhh! | |

Ain't nobody going nowhere and don't convince yourself otherwise. Gimmick or no gimmick! I've yet to meet a former Prince fan because no one ever leaves completely. When  go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all  up in the house but when log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming! | |

People hereabouts are most likely fed up with gimmicks anyways, they just want him to put out the music, "serve it up Frankie" "So fierce U look 2night, the brightest star pales 2 Ur sex..." | |

The man freaking GAVE AWAY a free live album last year, as well as a free live DVD if you care to download it from YouTube. | |

WTF do Youtube videos have to do with selling cds? I'm talking about the stunts Prince does to publicize a new cd so people pay $ to him. | |

Prince is NOT a gimmick! He is a real artist that cares about his craft... will ALWAYS think of  like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that wasn't of this earth, would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. | |

Never said he was a gimmick [Snip - no direct attacks please - Militant] Don't you have basic reading skills? | |

No gimmick might be a gimmick for Prince. 99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%. | |

the gimmick this time around is: release the lead single WITH a video about 1.5 years PRIOR to the album ("fixurlifeup"), go on a hit and run tour 'to celebrate the release of Plectrum Electrum" then pack up the tour, go home, do tv promotions and magazines playing either songs from the album or talking about the album, then not release the album, but release a single that isn't even on the album. that's a lot of gimmick right there.

There's no such thing...RodeoSchro was presumably talking about the live clips that have been put up on YouTube over the last year or so, most of which are snippets of songs. So if you're interested in a generally-crappy-quality live DVD with almost all incomplete songs (and 12 versions of Let's Go Crazy) then yes, there's a "live DVD" worth of stuff. No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.
Sex is not love. Love is not sex. Putting words in other people's mouths will only get you elected. Need more sleep than coke or methamphetamine. | |
