This is so much fun that I'm reminiscing about the old days . . . .

Like the AOL chat where he screwed up and ran away . . . .

The UTCM premiere party where MTV cut away because the sound quality was crap . . . .

C'mon, y'all remember, don't you?

Watching. I just hate the streaming percentage numbers that keep popping up, grrrrr. And then it freezes till the percentages hit 100% geez

Covering Sly Stone tune "Thankful N' Thoughtful".

OMG!

what an ending

let's all be

"Thankful, Thoughtful"

yes I'm feeling you

now I gotta go find that

"Sly" record.......

wtf? 2 hours of waiting for a 20 minute performance?

lol c'mon, Prince!! WTF?? what in the motherfucking fuck was that all about?? I'm literally laughing at myself for sitting in the same chair like a fool scince 730pm PST waiting for something that just remotely hinted at a release party for not one, but TWO motherfucking CD's!! And we get one song from one CD, a Sly cover, and "What's My Name"? And to boot, we had to sit throught a teenybopper who didn't even know who the fuck Joni Mitchell was, and proll never heard a note from Lovesexy!!

[N word snip - luv4u], please.

I was liking the new albums... now i want to hide them away and forget any of this ever happened. Please, let us never speak of this again.

Am I the only one wondering how this chick who is hosting this gig got this gig in the first place? Maybe she's just nervous but it seems she's clueless about basic Prince facts.....and she had no clue that Jimi Hendrix was on that mural? Oh brother.....

"Prince and the Power Generations"

"Liv Warner"

"Marcus Samuelsson"

I kind of preferred the Prince Yule Log channel thing at the beginning where they just slowly/creepily panned over the instruments, because it kind of went downhill once this woman started talking.

Yeah I am gonna regret how late I'm gonna have to stay up tonight to get some work finished that I put off so that i can watch this. It wasn't that bad but the waiting part was the worst of it. Why did he only play one song live from the album? From what they played in the studio, it sounded like the tracks were pretty good. Anybody know if any Orgers are there now while the session is going on even though the stream has ended?

well, they just turned it back on for a minute...now it's off again

well, they just turned it back on for a minute...now it's off again

EDIT: nevermind. it just restarted. blah

sorry about the sort of double post. my computer went screwy

dis knee grow....prefered when he didnt like social media,,..welp going back to bed

I agree the host was awful but I enjoyed hearing some of the unreleased tracks and also the live performance. I always have low expecations (like thinking Prince won't even perform), so I was pleasantly surprised.

But yeah, this really wasn't a promotion for the albums.

Anybody know how the people there got in? One of the fans mentioned getting an e-mail and actually flying in from Chicago? Maybe she was on some old NPGMC e-mail distribution list

I'm I the only one who enjoyed this?! I enjoyed the studio segment with the new songs!! Those sound hot. Who knows if we'll ever hear them again? Though short I also enjoyed the Prince/3rd Eye Girl performance. I have a new appreciation for their album now. And also for AOA. It's nice to hear the tracks in Paisley Park. The vibe seems so cool there. I'd love to visit one day.

I enjoyed the studio segment, as far as the tunes played (i think they were as good or better than what I've heard on AOA or Plec), and I found that Josh is actually kind of a cool guy. But goddamn, two cd's, you'd expect this shit to be a serious jam session. It'd be like craving pizza all day, going to your fave joint, and being told all they have left is crust!

I remember when he did this for Emancipation; he actually played. Songs. I don't remember it song for song, but I remember he played songs, and played them well.

That is what shocked me...who passes over Jimi Hendrix like that??? Gotta respect the Jimi, man. The nerve..lol

Its actually weird seeing the old gang from the Politics and Religion forum on this side of the org actually talking about Prince lol....yeah she was done as far as I was concerned when she passed over Jimi who was the most obvious influence on Prince besides James Brown and Little Richard!

Yep...and she passed up the motorcycle...really?? Lol

Yeah and she tried to impress by talking about taking a dip in lake Minnetonka.....she knows good and well she JUST heard about that MINUTES before this thing aired because someone talked about that Dave chapelle skit circa 2005 lol

Sure didn't, but I did enjoy the snippets of the 2 songs Prince asked Josh to play from the studio.

hey girl?

how have you been?

missing you from 3121 days

always welcome your comments

and Yeah, what's up with that Jimi diss?

So what did we learn form the Livestream... Hannah and Donna are cool.. Everyone had a story of how Prince thinks he can make a song out of literally ANYTHING, which explans an awful damn lot, imo... Paisley Park is an amazing studio. I really liked the mural that featured Vanity 6 and The Time... Bobby Z takes instructions from Prince with paper and pen ... Remember that John Bream interview when he drove out to Paisley, and ended up only talking to Prince on the speakerphone? I said then that nikka was upstairs pretending to be too busy for the interview. He just pulled the same stunt on the livestream. "We weren't planning to play tonight, but" Then why was your mike set up on the stage at the beginning of the livestream?...Josh and Prince have a ton of aimless bible based tracks that they are impressed with, but, they don't sound all that promising. Prince probably does need help though if he's seriously going to write music as a way of getting with today's pop chart industry chicks... NPGQ's material was strong and reminicent of SOTT and Madhouse without copying much more than synth patches from that era. Prince is likely too busy to write real songs with them though, right? Ahh he'd fuck that up too more than likely, but maybe the tracks would at least have melody again? IDK

yeah i also put off doing work to watch that. Veeerrryyyy poor choice I made...
