I think it might be a good idea, given the rare opportunity this is, to actually coordinate questions as much as we can for the NYC show...

Why not try and get something of an actual "interview" out of this experience, rather than a bunch of goofy fan questions? Anyone who wants to ask a question & won't be at the NYC show, or anyone coming to the NYC show, why don't we try getting a good list of questions posted here to work with? Of course, this will all go to hell if some freak fan shows up, but it's worth a shot....

Guess you haven;t seen. Mostly anyone or should I say, the cities who have said they are gonna ask hard questions or what not on the ORG, did not get a soundcheck with Q n A.

Well ya posted it. hehe

No, I didn't see that. Oops. Well, I didn't exactly mean "hard" questions. I don't care if Prince is married, a JW or any of the more personal stuff. I am more interested in what motivates him musically, as well as information on future projects/products, if he'll be playing The Today Show this summer, etc. Anything that will divert the possibility of another Divinity-like attention hog & take away from the moment.

lol good save. hehe.

WOuld suck if he does not do a soundcheck in NY. I am personally slapping all the L.A. people that ask stupid questions. hehe.

ask him when (or why he will not) release Crystal Ball 2?!

--Ask him why he doesn't allow the music club to release a soundboard copy of his shows from this tour (and others) like Pearl Jam did. Make sure to mention that he is much too critical of his live performances, and that if he does not make these publicly available, his legacy as a performer will not live in eternity as it should. Ask why he sits on this material while the bootleggers are releasing it?

--Ask what is the Best of ? Ask if he is really going to release the "new masters", and if so, what will they be like?

--Ask what exactly is the ablum "Last December"?

--Ask what happeded to Roadhouse Garden? Offer to call W&L on his behalf if necessary.

Has anybody asked what the building behind Paisley is going to be? I haven't seen anything here but I could have missed it.

Come on people, questions...NYC is the media center of the world & you're due for a lunchbreak. Think of some more!

Please ask him what the HELL Otan is?

Ask him why he hasn't written a second verse to Crazy You... and mention also that you think the song ends to abruptly and sounds incomplete.

- is he the one who is blocking Warner Bros. from releasing all his material in a remastered version; including releasing al his movies on DVD´s;

- why has he never released a LIVE-album. And what happened 2 the Quintessential live set?

- is the greatest hits remastered (mentioned on the Ahdio show from May) a project that is canned?

- and oh did eye already mention Crystal Ball 2: come on release it already!

I'm very curious about the new NPGMC albums, and I'd love 2 know about Crystal Ball 2 also. If we do get a soundcheck with Q&A, I'll be asking some Qs.

How he felt about September 11th?

That could be interesting. A bad answer could cause quite a stir in the Big Apple though! All the critics love you in New York.

Ask about an Unplugged or Storytellers show and when Sign o the Times will be put out on DVD! We need a live album of this tour, and how about where he sees his place in history. How would he like to be remembered, up there with Hendrix and Miles?

Yea and how does he feel about the Color Me Badd sample of it??

why is it OK 4 him 2 do covers, and 4 other artists not?

IrishEcho said:

In Atlanta, he kept turning the discussion towards religion. Most of the people were making comments about that. Either that or thanking him for hosting the soundcheck. At times people started to ramble a bit about religion.

I don't care who he is, I have my own beliefs & I don't want to discuss or debate them with a celebrity. To many, religion is very personal matter & not necessarily a swell topic for a soundcheck q&a. If he asks me, I'll tell him I'm into sacrificing virgins.

I wonder if he's using these soundchecks to fufill the JW's door to door requirement...

talk2thejay said:

someone ass'd him this in DC and he said something to the effect of "I need to..."

across the board do not ask this man about this man about his parents dying or his religion please lets keep this fun music experience

Q : what's so funky about that JW - cult ??
A : ????
