Eye was going 2 join the NPGMC club a while ago. But why should eye pay $100 a year when eye can download them from other web sites. Also some CD's R going 2 B sold in the shops. Where is the Prince that wanted 2 give his music 2 his fans 4 free? Eye only see that Prince is making money out of people. What about the poor people that like Prince but do not have the internet? What can they do if, U can only download his music.

Bring back the old days.
Love & Peace. Get Wild. smile

Well does that sound familiar. At least when you were downloading, you had something to argue about. Joining next year? Hmmm...Lets see Xenosaga and .Hack seem much more worthy of my dollars.

"Hey, I joined Prince's online music club!"

"He has a what?"

"Online music club"

"And that translates into...?"

"Well, anual membership, that gives you 4 cd's and a chance
to buy concert tickets before others can"

"Oh nice"

"Yes"

"So let's see what you've got this far"

"Here you go".

"What's this?"

"One Nite Alone...The first album we got this year!"

"Oh cool"

"Yes"

"Hey, wait a minute, aren't 5 of these songs on the disc
you burnt me last year already?"

"Uhm, I don't know..."

"Right here; 'One Nite Alone', 'Ure Gonna C Me', 'A Case of
U', 'Pearls B4 The Swine' and 'Here On Earth'".

"Well alright, so yes, they are."

"So how come you got them last year when they're only
released on this year's album?"

"Well, you see, last year the club put up downloads and
those 5 songs were offered as downloads as a part of our
anual membership".

"Hmm. I see. So what happened is that they were already
cheating you out of membership $ last year, by giving you
downloads of product that will be released on cd this year.
So there4 you were cheated out of aprox one month of last
year, right?"

"Oh, don't sound so negative"

"What else did you get?"

"Nothing"

"What do you mean 'Nothing'?"

"Like I said NOTHING"

"But he did a tour, right?"

"Yeah, I know, but I just joined for the cd's"

"What? You can get free concert tix and still don't go?"

"Hold up! The concert tix are not for free dude, we just
get 1st shot at buying them. And they still cost an arm
and a leg. Altho that is not the problem really".

"Oh, fair enough".

"So what other cd's are headed your way?"

"Don't know"

"Don't know?"

"Don't KNOW!"

"What the?"

"Look, don't be so negative. It's a great idea this npgmc
and we should give it a chance".

"I know what you're saying and all, but listen to WHAT you
are saying. So you pay $100 for FOUR ALBUMS and you don't
even know which ones or when they will arrive?"

"Well, technically, they don't have to be four ALBUMS, it
could also mean just four CD's".

"What does that mean?"

"It means that word is we'll receive a 3cd live boxset and
that might be the final 3 cd's".

"What?"

"Hey"

"Oh man, you got ripped off big time man!"

"No, listen, Prince will..."

"I know about that set, it will be released to retail on
november 26th, right?"

"I don't know anything about that" wink

"Yes you do. It's been all over the internet. New live set
coming called 'One Nite Alone...Live'..."

"Oh alright, it IS the same set"

"You are lol such a sad bitch. How are you going to pay
the dude $100 for a crap looking cd with 5 new songs and a
box set that will be released to retail and be in the sales
basket before long. Are you insane?"

"Well, let's see who's laughing when I receive the box set
next week and you'll have to wait another MONTH before you
can buy it hahaha. Yeah, I'll be pissing myself then!"

"No worries. I'll just download them as soon as one of the
clubmembers puts the whole thing up for download on kazaa".

"That won't happen".

"Yes it will. Probably within 2 days of the initial cd's
being sent out. It's the same way I got the remaining 5
trax from this ONA album".

"What? You downloaded "Avalanche" and "Arboretum" etc from
the net? Why didn't you tell me about that?"

"Because you are such a sad git for joining this stupid club
in the first place and I didn't feel like making you feel
even more stupid for paying $25 for 5 new songs that have
been on the net since the day they were released".

"Listen, I have some more stuff to do..."

"Oh, I get it. Catch you later, ok?"


"Yeah, ok"

:friends leaves:

:rushes to pc and logs on to www.prince.org:

:types transcript of conversation and is consequently being
told he's a dumb fucknugget and needs to shut up, kiss ass
and await whatever crumbs Prince decides to offer:

Cheers!


omg did this really happen?

yeah i agree

does't anyone notice that the whole thing is very expensive with no way for poor fans to participate with a lower option. i think i've heard stories of fans paying up to $400 for all the great stuff that they offer.

what do most die-hards pay for the albums, merchandise, concerts and the celebration all together?

what has gotten in2 u? talk about being ungrateful!
I guess u just couldn´t accept that they made changes, and decided not to give away all the music almost 4 free?!?
During the 1st. year we got to download around 13 hours of music and fun...don´t u think it´s asking 2 much keeping it that way?
This year, it´s true we have only recieved 1 cd SO FAR, but we got the chance 2 buy concerttix before everyone else, and 4 only 2 usdollars more than the public. We got 2 join in on his soundcheck...his private session...being able 2 see him in a private relaxed state, joking with us and his bandmembers. We got 2 sit on 1st. row during the concert also, and got in2 the afterparty 4 free, where others had 2 buy tix 4 about 60 usdollars each.
In my country cd´s cost about 22-24 usdollars, so as 4 now I have paid 200 usdollars ( 2 years of membership)and recieved 13 hours of downloaded music (LEGAL that is...and NOT stealing from the artists!), recieved a cd, waiting 4 the other 3, enjoyed 6 hours in the company of Prince and his marvellous musicians (= 1½ hours soundcheck, 3 hours concert and 1½ hours afterparty) and acces 2 a great homepage...I think it´s worth the money, don´t u?

No. I'd say we all expect the club to actually improve as it gets older, not go from 13 hours of music to ummm... nothing (yet). And grow some balls man! You sound like you would be happy if the NPG came round and kicked you in the head!
I know u people worthless scum give no heart but wrath of insults a brain-driven wave of destruction your bite is worse than your vocabulary. Shame on you all of you. Go feed your pigs coward.

You're shopping in the wrong place if you're paying 25$ . especially one from a washed up 80s pop star with no major label or commercial demand.

Oh the comedy from this (same fanatic, different new org account) is unreal. Get back to work punk, i think i hear some high-heeled boots coming down the corridor.. rolleyes

Boy, i guess ppark doesn't employ psychological headache screening of the volunteer workforce anymore. When they come knocking on my door, I wonder if I get offered a discount on next years membership if I convert to JW.. lol

Hmmm...looking at u´r replies all I can say is:

Saxjedi: I think the club HAS improoved, and I´m confident the last 3 cd´s will actually be send 2 us. And reading u´r "lovely" words, I guess someone here needs 2 grow up.

Savannah: U´re a lucky person - guess all countries r´nt the same eih?
I get my money´s worth - I´m sorry u don´t.
A washed up 80s popstar? guess u haven´t heard his music over the last couple of years.

I joined the club 2 b closer 2 the music and the news, and not 2 get a free ride on someoneelses expence.
If u r members, I suggest u leave the club 2 people who actually appreciates the efforts that r put in2 this, and 2 people who actually likes that kind of music - what on earth r u doing on a web site 4 fams? It seems 2 me u´r not fams at all.

well, this conversation is exactly why i avoid conversations about the npgmc most of the time... i don't think that the club is all bad...

i did enjoy the soundcheck, i liked my close seats at the concert, i like the one nite alone cd, and although i was/will be unable to participate in either: the celebration is a cool thing and so is setting aside npgmc seats for tonight show with leno...

however, i don't feel like i've gotten my $100 worth...

i got no friggin discount on those tickets whatsoever...

i like the fact that i didn't have to buy them from ticketmaster, but in all honesty, the process was much more of a pain in the ass...

i've only got one cd...

the occasional downloads have been virtually non-existant: i got one of them last year and the only one new is not a full track...

i get more information about the boxset i'm supposed to be getting from places like billboard and rolling stone than i am from the friggin music club (who never actually sent an email to us telling us any of that shit... they did eventually post what billboard and rolling stone had posted after the other places had already done so)...

i enjoy the npgmc, but one of 2 things is going to have to happen... if they're going to run it like this again next year, the price had better come down... however, if the keep the price the same, they need to make us feel like we're getting what we're paying for...

Aren't bootleggers happier when the band doesn't release anything? Or with demand is it the other way around?
