So Prince is smart. For those who didn't attend a concert because there wasn't one near(was canceled in Baltimore), I basically paid $25 dollors per CD and two downloads that were from last years membership (Silicon) and another the "live track" 1+1+1=3 which was already on ONA live we'll get and the $11.50 I paid for the CD single with the track already on it. How convinient. BAH!!!

He did several shows in DC. YOu could have driven your broke ass down there. This bitch ass complaint is so fucking old and lame. That math you did is for losers who didnt take advantage of the shit the club offered. You knew what you were getting when you paid your money. If it wasnt what you wanted, you should have kept you cashed in food stamps loot.

Here is how real NPG fams pulled it off: I caught 2 gigs in LA back in April. There were 2 and 1/2 hour aftershows after both shows with Sheila E, Larry Graham, and Maceo. Both of which I got into for free. I went to the celebration where Prince took everyone to the movies for free, gave us a free CD single for DOW, and gave us the free downloads from the celebration when we got home for the Park. I saw 11 Prince gigs (7 at the celebration)from the front 3 rows, caught a drumstick that Sheila E played Glamorous Life with, got a free calendar and NPG jewelry, met Cornel West and Tavis Smiley, a few fine ass PRince groupie chicks, and took my picture sitting on te bike from Graffiti Bridge...all because I was a member that did it right and wasnt a broke cry baby

hey BlackMF/FACE - some of us don't even live in the same continent as where he is touring...i doubt he'll come to New Zealand - and even if he did it would probably b cheaper 4 me 2 fly 2 Sydney 2 see him - so I joined on the premise that we would get 4 different CDs -and if he came downunder that would be a bonus(albeit an expensive one for me) not ONA and a live triple set - so therefore I feel ripped off - if the live set was exclusive then I wouldn't be so peeved - but well - I am not that suprised---and by the way in our currency the CDs cost $50 each when u add it all up - its cheaper 2 buy off the bootleggers (hope u r reading this Prince - fair is fair, i know u can't control everything - so don't even try!) not that i have wasted my $$$ on bootlegs 4 a while anyway -I'd rather buy from the baker - but i won't b ripped off again in a hurry

Assuming what the CDs would be before paying is just stupid. If it makes a difference to you what is on the CDs, you should have waited to join. You played yourself.

And do you actually expect a tour to go to every major city in the world? WOuldnt you think that if you dont live in a city that is sure to be a tour stop that you take the chance of not having a show in your town? Still cry baby punkass shit if you ask me.

Yeah, I remember it was not for broke ass fams that complain about prices when getting way more than they pay for if they apply themselves

ok. so go ahead and defend the 'product' we've received so far this year

then, i'd love to hear your thoughts on the level of customer service NPGMC offers its loyal 'fams'

Actually, Eye dont think anyone assumed.. there was a list of cd's.. and now eye believe they are said to be "ideas"

Eye dont think the initial argument was that he was being a "Cry baby punkass" for not attending a concert, it was about how unbalanced the club is.

But u sound like a real smart person, whey dont u tell us all how ure not a "broke ass fam"

haha

Jesus Christ, lay off the horse tranquilizers. I can picture the veins in your neck getting bigger. Take a deep one and go listen to ONA. It's soothing.

BLACKMF said:

BOLLOCKS! Nobody was told what we were getting, and we still don't really know!

No one really cares what BLACKMF says...just let him ramble.

For a 'fam' (crap, who came up with 'fam' anyway) who lives outside the US it has been a frustrating year. Fortunately I am able to at least offer a mixed response to the clubs performance over the year. I agree that we were 'promised' certain releases which, as yet, have not been forthcoming. Even if four CD's are eventually released, those who support from remote countries will not feel that their money has been taken in good faith. Sure, no-one can expect to get a live performance, luckily I managed to see him in London and Dublin, but you would expect that your $100 would get you something exclusive.


As for BLACKMF, you must be a septic, your attitude stinks. Why do you feel the need to talk to people like that, who do you think you are, George 'Dubya'? Hit first, ask questions later, apologise never.
