...what would it look and sound like?

Nothinbutjoy said:

It would be a mailorder service, with a new album released each month from either new music or material from the vault, with concert footage made available on video or dvd. All paid for on a per product basis of course...

It would look like a web version of Turn It Up 2.0 with every song title a link to download the actual song on MP3.

I'll go first.

I'd like to see the sight updated more often and if it's going to have Prince-speak on it, Prince better be the one speaking it, not someone who works for him. Also, if you're going to link me to another site, tell me why. I'll still form my own view, but I'm also interested in yours.

Tease us with music. Change the music that comes up when you are on the site, mix it up.

I wasn't a member the first year so I missed the audio/radio shows, but from what I've read they would make a solid addition to "my" site

Give us cd's and downloads. Surprise me. It doesn't have to be a cd each month, but throw out a song per month minimum on download.

Sell something interesting. I'm easy to please. Keychain, jewelry, calender...

Finally, for the love of all that is beautiful, remove the current graphics and put up some current, live pics of Prince, Paisley Park, the Musicians working w/ him etc... I promise I won't worship him or place him above God.


What do you think? Anyone with me?

Boy would that be great. Something new every month - a whole cd or a cd single or an ep just give me new music each month.

npgmc would be very similar to davidbowie.com :
- Prince would write a letter to the members each month .
- There would be a forum like this one .
- News would be updated each day, with the complete set-list and pictures of the concert he gave the day before .
- A referendum like "your ultimate set-list" would be launched to design a triple live cd with the members .

I don't understand why they don't care about our opinion .
I mean, we pay 100§ for the membership, sometimes make sacrifices to support the tour by attending to concerts, sometimes in foreign countries ( the european fans at least ), buy each official releases ... Don't we deserve to be rewarded ?
My npgmc would be closer to the fans .
At least, american members have the soundchecks .
But what did european fans had in 6 months ? A boring piano cd and two loosy downloads ...
If it stays the same, i will not renew my membership next year .

Thanks for your thoughts so far everyone! This has been fun! Ya'll have great ideas!

A letter every month from Prince...That's what I'm talking about!

No to the letter from Prince every month.
I like my rock stars to be quiet & keep their big mouths shut.

I hear you ZaZa, especially when Prince starts the Prince-speak crap, however, music/technical stuff would be nice for those who "only like the music..." or some Story-tellers type stuff for the download of the month or Prince answering one fan question...could be cool. Besides, just cause it's there doesn't mean it must be read.

change the artwork

add a poetry corner - song lyric outtakes, etc.

add a media corner - press photos, video clips, downloadable avatar files etc.

add a daily journal or photo diary

add a chat room for members

add a message board for members

expand the news: paisley news, world news, associated artists' news

(greatly) expand mail order options for CDs and mail order goods

expand pay-per download options to include live shows from tour

add an exhibition hall for member-created songs, artwork

add an interactive game room

expand links to related sites

A vote among members for a multi-disc vault CD.

They could put up say 60 or so songs with short sound clips and we could vote on which were included.

NPGMC could also do that with complete unreleased albums (Madrid 2 Chicago etc). Put up a choice of 3 or 4 with soundclips and we can vote for the one we'd like to hear.

I'm not saying this should be done for every album, but maybe one out of the four?

I'd also like to see NPG Records release full sound quality versions of popular bootlegs. It would put them out of business. Again, a vote could be taken.

Otherwise, I'm quite satisfied.

Anthony7, you are easy to please if you pretty much like things the way they are now...

You must only be in it "for the music"

Everytime you logged into npgmusicclub.com, you'd be greeted by the voice of Richard Simmons yelling out "How are you todaaay!!"

Upon joining, members would recieve a photo of Micheal Jackson in their email with horns drawn on his forehead and the word "Evil!" scrawled along the bottom..

All four CDs promised would arrive on members' doorsteps at 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the membership year, with a handwritten note from Prince simply saying "Sue me.."..

Once a month, a music club member would be picked at random to come down to the npgmc headquarters and beat some sense into one staff member of their choice...

Nude photos of Bea Arthur as downloadable wallpaper..

Free admittance into soundchecks would be replaced with a coupon for a free large order of fries from Fatburger...

The retail section would only sell mugs, keychains, and mousepads with a photo of the mug and keychain on them...and all three items would always be out of stock..

"You Tell Us" feature would be renamed "Go Screw Yourself"...

Subliminal messages saying "The ONA CD is good...really...it is.." would flash in the background the entire time a member visits the site...

Anyone desiring to join the music club would first have to submit an email detailing exactly what it is they feel they'll get for their $100...if anyone gets anything wrong, they're denied membership on the spot...

LMAO Wellbeyond!

Ya like that, Nothin??..lol 8)

to you Wellbeyond 'cause yes I did! You always make me laugh!

- New illustrations and graphics

- Faster bandwidth/re-draw

- Forums like this site has; open discussion(s)

- REAL NEWS; Less "cryptic" info

- "Opinions" or "Member's Poll" area

***
- Add more music and/or videos in the retail section for members who want more music than the 4 CD's have to offer. This is a no brainer; more $ for them, more music for us. We could just spend extra for the stuff we really wanted. First thing I'd do.

- Everything that XxAxX said

You all have some really good ideas.

WB, I don't know about you. Uou are too funny sometimes.

I think we all would be satisfied if someone actually listened and implemented some of the ideas that have been going around for months.

I feel that the staff keeps a close look out on all of the fan sites. So, I know that he has the means to find out our wants, wishes, dreams etc for a new club with all the added features.

But, hey like they said in "Boyz in the Hood," "Either they don't know, dont show or don't care what's going on in the Hood"

Hey Prince pay attention, lord knows we pay you. I still love ya tho.

Peace yall

WB: Now I know you're crazy. I want pics of that cute comb-over husband of hers. What was his name?
