I'll contribute and give my money for decent music, not to support his lifestyle. The line must be drawn!!! Especially in this economy. I've been watching this site 4 a while now , and I must say that this is probably the most accurate comment that i've seen. NPGers when will u learn? Did U learn nothing from the NPGMusicClub? I am die hard just like the rest of U, but unlike MOST of U here, I've seen the clear picture. Prince is all about gettin' paid first and foremost. His fan base fall last in a long list of priorities of his. The fact that he's now tellin' his fans how much he's gettin' paid 4 shows and yadda yadda, should let U know what it is. I..did NOT sign up 2 lotu$flow3r.com , because I learned from NPGMC. If u're sitting around waiting 4 homeboy 2 do the right thing by his fans. U're watching time go by..cause it'll NEVER happen. [Edited 5/10/09 15:07pm] Thank you, this post is oh so true, and on point.....believe it! | |

I bet that is not a concern you have with other artist. other artists I listen to don't brag about stupid crap like getting paid. Nor do they release inferior albums with shoddy paid websites. It's a low point in my 30 years of being a Prince listener. He puts WAY too much energy into everything but his new music imo. That's right, in my opinion. So lets not argue an opinion. I know you like pretty much anything he does, and that is fine. The problem he has is that he puts things like this out there, so it is fair game for commentary. What do YOU think the reason for him bothering to mention this tidbit is? --- First, I doubt other artist you listen to never brag about how much money they are making. Let us be honest if they did you would still buy their cd’s so please spare me the utter nonsense. You do not know these people on a personal level so you really don’t know how much the brag or what they do with the money you give them and you realize that P is not sending out the press releases himself. I am sure he has a publicity firm sending out the info. You beef is with the way he runs his business and unless he is raping underage children, killing people or selling drugs I really do not see what business it is of yours how he decides to run his website or publicized his concerts. You are free not to join the website that you feel is to expensive and shoddy because I guarantee if the website is too expensive for you and not considered valuable it is the exact opposite for someone else. It is called capitalism get over it. In addition, I seriously question your taste if you think the latest Cd is inferior. I cannot say that P is superior within the rock music world but he kills almost everyone in Rnb these days by being a hundred degree beyond what they are capable of doing. They simply do not have the balls to even try and buck the system and P is always going to get props from me for at least trying. You might do everyone a big favor and step away from the Purple world for a while and find something else to grip about. Like all the rest of shitty music that is forced on the public. That is my opinion. | |

funksoldier said: Zannaloaf said: What do YOU think the reason for him bothering to mention this tidbit is? To sell tickets. I think the reason he said it was to get the attention of music fans who may not yet be fans of Prince. He knows he has your attention. ----- Of course everyone he wants people to come out to the show. This fest is hugh so he will not have a problem selling seats and I think it is great he is being paid so much money. He works hard and he deserves it. | |

Long time no reply (or thread, for that matter).
Can someone please update me? What happened after the release of his 3-cd (which were kinda awful, if you'd ask me)? And what about the 18th, is that confirmed yet? | |

That is my opinion. No. They do not make a public posting of getting paid. He can run his business anyway he wants. But it still make him look like an ass. I don't feel it's too expensive, I feel like it's poorly done for being a paid site. I get the same stuff from other musicians for free. The only pay issue is to be in a club which allows priority seating to their worldwide tours, and maybe some product. As far as his output- the R&B he is perpetrating is crap. It's a pale imitation of himself. Just because he can play and sing doesn't mean he is making good records. I agree- the R&B world is mostly crap anymore.I grew up with bands who aLL took those chances and made interesting music. Even if I thought he was making the best R&B out there - that's pretty sad given the state of it as a whole. I don't enter the "purple world", never have for as long as I've been into his music. You can still enjoy it without being completely immersed. Plus it gives you perspective. Which you clearly can't get living on a purple rock. I don't listen to music forced on the rest of the world, i go find interesting artists myself. Because that's how much I like music. I also feel after 20 years of rock solid support of Prince and turning many a person onto his music and shows I have a little credit to use up bitching about where his lack of real world inspiration and hordes of yes people have left him. I think I'll continue to do so if warranted. It's a shame to see all that raw talent go to waste, when people with NO talent end up making more interesting records. Personally I'd love to see Prince take a break and enjoy some down time rather than feel like he has to keep churning out music for obsessed fans. |

Also - he should get paid, and paid well. He's worth it. No one is contesting that. Most people outside of this little thread of the internet would - and do - just think he's an ass for saying he's making a ton of money to play, especially at a prestigious event known for hosting the best players in the world. I don't think telling people you are getting PAID well attracts concert goers. Especially these days. |

----- Once again, you do not know if he is saying it. It could be his PR firm that has made that statement or it could be Dr.Funkeberry. We do not know but I know that the great thinkers at Prince.org will not let that stop them from making an assumption. Even if he did say it what is the big deal. One of the things he keeps stating is that he never suffered financially since he left WB and that artists can roll out and do well for themselves financially and that they do not need labels to make it financially. As money is one of the reasons, more artists do not go out on their own. I think a lot of you have little or no understanding about money in the first place so all of the negative reaction to any mention of income really goes back to your own mixed up feelings about cash. Instead of being angry about how much money an artist you do not even know is making spend time taking care of your own finances. The recession is going to end and people are going to right back to their bling bling lifestyles so please lower your expectations that loud displays of wealth should or will cease. | |

All artist are in it for the music, fame and the money but you have the option to buy their music go to their free sites and not bother with Prince but you are still on this board. What is wrong with this picture? You are not entitled to anything because you have been a fan for 20 years. You have not stored up any credit. Save your bitching and move on because if you think P is wasting his talent your highly mistaken and obviously have lost interest. P is an artist he is suppose to churn out music to his fans obsessed or not obsessed He is a musician and that is his job. | |

But that's just it, you can't take other peoples opinions and agree to disagree. You jam words in their mouths to make your point, and then go on to argue about how I must have lost interest if I don't love everything that comes from a particular artist. Wow.. that is some logic, and your need for a certain musician to be perfect at all times is cult like. Also - interestingly - you talk about groove appeal. Which Prince always has. Doesn't mean it's particularly good. An artists job isn't to churn out ANYTHING. Churning out work makes you a hack (and you can be a good or bad hack btw). His current work lacks inspiration imo. Which is why I don't care for it. Lastly the big purple glass house of yours is much much bigger than mine. I think your number of posts versus mine might be telling as to who is wrapped up in what.

Hello everyone,
I wanted to create a new thread about the MONTREUX festival just in case someone (like myself) is still actually interested in attending the shows, meeting up with other fans, etc. Just a thread for fans in need of practical stuff and real information. But there's so much crap about his fees and whatever that I don't care about this thread any longer. This is what was in my message on the other (already closed) thread : There's so much HATE going 'round on that other MONTREUX thread, I decided 2 make a new 1. At this point Montreux is actually nothing more than a rumor so if anybody discovers some REAL info (in other words : if it actually becomes a real NEWS item instead of a rumor) please post it here. And keep up the POSITIVITY y'all ! It got closed immediately by one of the moderators ; here's what he/she said : it's actually more than a rumor, which is why we posted it on the front page. and if you're seeing too many lemons on the news item thread, then i guess it's time to start making some lemonade, no? First of all, since it's not on the Montreux site or the LotusFlow3r site as we speak, IT IS A RUMOR. I'm almost certain it WILL happen, but until I can actually order tickets IT IS A RUMOR. Secondly : although I was LOL about the lemon/lemonade remark, I can't believe you moderators actually encourage all this hate shit. Peace, Bart | |

From your post you are much much too concerned about P's money and your ideas about how he should operate or artist should function in general. It is not that deep get a grip. Your can have you opinion but you need to really think about where it is coming from. I am not sure what inspiration you think P had back in the day. In my mind it has always been about grooves (which you don't really need inspiration or big ideas to do ( it is for dancing and it is called having fun ) and making dollars. I never throught P was hiding his love for fame, money, woman,and grooves but you keep living in your improvished artist must live for their work world (LOL) Peace. | |

A train ticket on the Eurostar to Paris and then TGV to Geneva is about £120. Then Geneva to Montreux won't be much... Hotels on the other hand are all but full as the Montreux Jazz Festival is a HUGE event. And they're not cheap either - looking at £250 upwards for one night! So 3 gig tickets at £50 each (one can hope!) plus the travel = £400 with a little change. And somewhere to sleep....  We ain't from Hollywood, so you know it's all good | |

You must be a mad hater who has some personal problems that can't afford to go to the festival. Think about where all this is coming from. You don't know Prince. I KNOW Prince.... hater mcHaterson.

"Number one at the bank", Yeah we get it. Thanks bro, how bout a bail out for your fans? watch out...you must be living in a purple world all worried about how much Prince makes or doesn't. You must be a mad hater who has some personal problems that can't afford to go to the festival. Think about where all this is coming from. You don't know Prince. I KNOW Prince.... hater mcHaterson. Just wanted to see what it was like doing that.... .

gurgi said: Hello everyone,
I wanted to create a new thread about the MONTREUX festival just in case someone (like myself) is still actually interested in attending the shows, meeting up with other fans, etc. Just a thread for fans in need of practical stuff and real information. But there's so much crap about his fees and whatever that I don't care about this thread any longer. This is what was in my message on the other (already closed) thread : There's so much HATE going 'round on that other MONTREUX thread, I decided 2 make a new 1. At this point Montreux is actually nothing more than a rumor so if anybody discovers some REAL info (in other words : if it actually becomes a real NEWS item instead of a rumor) please post it here. And keep up the POSITIVITY y'all ! It got closed immediately by one of the moderators ; here's what he/she said : it's actually more than a rumor, which is why we posted it on the front page. and if you're seeing too many lemons on the news item thread, then i guess it's time to start making some lemonade, no? First of all, since it's not on the Montreux site or the LotusFlow3r site as we speak, IT IS A RUMOR. I'm almost certain it WILL happen, but until I can actually order tickets IT IS A RUMOR. Secondly : although I was LOL about the lemon/lemonade remark, I can't believe you moderators actually encourage all this hate shit. Peace, Bart Thank you, I thought I hit the wrong link. | |

looks like these shows are gonna be damn expensive...
Remember the ONA exclusive aftershows - they were 100 euros at the time, that was 7 years ago So whomever mentioned 50 quid a ticket (hopefully) - you are dreaming.... It's likely going to be at least double that Hard to believe I've been on the org for over 25 years now! | |

777,-CHF says the rumor mill for Princes three gigs... Now you definately don't need to sleep, you need to work...in the the gold mine... Gold mine? You mean to say you ain't got no gold? CHF 777 is absurd, even without knowing what heavenly shit he will offer us in return for what time. (for 6 hours+?) Compare the price to the prices asked for he other artists at the festival. Convert the price to other currencies: 515 EUR 463 GBP 701 USD etc I.e.: black market 21 sept 2007 IndigO2 ticket pricing. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

Also for perspective:
515 EUR is over FL. 1100,- I knew there was some inflation since the introduction of the EURO but even though we have this 'cri$i$' it wasn't THAT much inflation, right? I will wait a short while before joining teh haters. First I want to know what will be offered for this amount of dough. (yes, spend it now, spend it quick, inflation will suck the value from it anyway. quantitative easing anybody?) I assume: 6 hours of music (3 times 2?) Optional: Complete vault access. Rights to the upcoming 5 albums in hires digital format? Etc. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

So 515€/3= 171€. But it's still too much and can't be explained by inflation, which 'only' rose by 2 points since 2007. I'd suggest he'd play the millionaire fair instaid. Oh no! I'm already hating!  | |
