Omg! YES. First band members I just cannot get into. So much so, I don't really wish to see them in concert.

Cool then don't. More tickets for the rest of us that do want to see him!! I love this band. They put on some of the best live shows of his career(minus the friggin sampler set but that is Prince). I say keep 3EG.

Nostalgia. People are forgetting that if it was great back then, doesn't mean it would still be great today.

Yes, they just seem like generic rock n' roller's to me. Prince is so much better than that.
We're here, might as well get into it.

Why bother hiring and rehearsing new musicians when he only does one concert per month anyway.

"Spelling" and "grammar" aren't the same thing. When you find yourself in a hole, the first thing you should do is quit digging. smile

It could be this person has dyslexia, sounds like it to me. File under "Mistakes caused by a disability"? Yeah, I'd say so.

Could be. However, dyslexia doesn't affect your ability to distinguish between spelling and grammar. It also doesn't give you license to be needlessly contentious.

But we digress.

For me, I don't necessarily mind 3RDEYEGIRL. They don't excite me either. Clearly the band helped spark something in Prince for some time, but I would like to see him move in a new direction. I feel he does funk/pop better.

Prince should borrow the Vanguard from D'Angelo after they're done with his tour. Then Prince could play some real music. No need for sampler sets.

They're super tight musicians. Prince is at his best when he's challenged. They would make AMAZING music together. Well, that and he's already played with some of them. lol

No, I love them as a live band, especially Ida. She's my favorite bassist since Andre Cymone. On record, though, I think Prince did them a disservice by having Hannah sing, and writing cheesy songs for them. I was hoping for a serious rock album.


Prince started doing the sampler set in 2007, and the complaints about stale hits setlists certainly predate 3rdEyeGirl. That ain't their fault.

I love Ida
I agree with the other parts too. The album was not a serious rock album
especially in the direction I thought he wanted to go in
They were not ready to headline their own album guesting Prince

This is one of the best bands he has ever had. I seen Prince,3rd eye girl & The NPG horns at mohegan sun and they totally blew the fuckin roof off the house. I must swear becaus no other interjection fits what happened that night. the most impressive was donna's guitar chopps. I mean she can shredd some shit up. and Prince's prowess over the band. At a flick of the wrist or a wave of the hand he was conducting every one, on stops, fades, hits, and tone changes on a dime. So to answer the question. I would not want to see him change his band at all. the only exception would be to reunite the revolution for nostalgic reasons.

I don't know who made up Prince's band on the night of the Mohegan Sun Shows but I recently heard snippets of it. The preformance of "The Sweeter She Is" absolutely blew me away. Those ladies can sing...wish I had been there!

I feel the same. I just can't get into this band no matter how much I want to or try to.

I'm just starting to get more into 3rdEyeGirl, so it'll be fine with me if they stick around for a little while longer.
