So glad I didn't join.
Although a European tour and priority _GOOD_ tickets (a la the ONA tour) and I might change my mind. | |

tuztones said: Hey Everyone.....
Question????? Why did we all pay $77.00 for the LOTUSFLOWER WEBSITE again?? I am a bit confused. Has PRINCE lost interest in the site???? Does he remember the promises that were made for those who signed up and paid their hard earned cash during a recession??? I remember all to well one particular e-mail that was sent right before registration time and it said," We are well aware of the economic situation that we are all in these days, but the Lotusflower website will be worth the buck." So now we are well into 6 months and so far not too much is happening over at the party. Do you think that we got our $77.00 worth????? Many that I have personally spoken to feel the way that I do. Please note that I am not being negative because I love PRINCE and his music, but I do not think at this point in time that everyone received $77.00 worth of PRINCE??? Please make your voices heard so just maybe the "POWERS THAT BE" can shed some light at the end of this long dark tunnel. PEACE and B WILD. (PORTION JUST ADDED---) -----SEPT 27th 2009 The NPG MUSIC CLUB was a very exciting venture that had a lot to offer musically to it's members. It was so cool to come home from work on a FRIDAY NIGHT and find a brand new track posted for download. It was way ahead of any other artists websites. Now Artists like ," U2," and " GOV'T MULE," offer the fans so so much in terms of actual music these days with their websites that it far surpasses the LOTUSFLOWER location. With a VAULT filled with more PRINCE than one will ever hear in a lifetime, why does the site offer so little in terms of music. HERE IS AN IDEA THAT WOULD BE THE ULTIMATE!!!!! WOULDN'T IT BE FANTASTIC IF PRINCE WOULD FOR 365 DAYS FOR ONE YEAR OFFER UP A DAILY DOWNLOADABLE SONG FOR ALL OF THE MEMBERS? IT WOULD BE MUCH LIKE WALKING TO YOUR DOORSTEP AND GETTING THE DAILY NEWSPAPER. NOW THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING VERY VERY SPECIAL. IT DOES NOT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE A BRAND NEW SONG....BUT RATHER IT CAN BE A LIVE TRACK OR A REMIX OF A SONG THAT PRINCE PREVIOUSLY RELEASED OR EVEN AN OUTTAKE. NOW THAT IS SOMETHING I THINK THAT THE FANS WOULD LOVE TO EXPERIENCE. " SO PRINCE IF YOUR OUT THERE, THEY SAID U WERE FUNKY," - BOB GEORGE.

There is no need for the negative here. I was just trying to make a point to the all the members here and to PAISLEY PARK directly. This website is monitored you know by a higher authority. They need to read these statements and make good on a promise especially after everyone joined the LOTUSFLOWER Website and paid GOOD $$$$$. I have a strong feeling though that at some point before the renewal hits for the next year.....PRINCE will do the right thing by everyone and give up the car keys this very night.
Thank you.....LIVE 4 LOVE!!! Nicky Tuzio [Edited 10/1/09 22:26pm] | |

Hey, I am not going to bitch and moan coz I paid the money and its gone - ces't la vie, however I didnt even get a t-shirt!! Never arrived. I did get an email during the summer to ask me to re-confirm my payment details for the additional postage to Europe which I did, but no t-shirt and no additional costs to my visa. Plus I downloaded the cds, but was never able to open them on my pc.... but then again thats something I have to look into... THe main reason I joined wsa in the hope that if he tours again somewhere in Europe, we MIGHT get priority when booking tickets etc.
AM I the only Irish fan without a T???? | |

AM I the only Irish fan without a T???? I'm from Amsterdam, and I joined yesterday. Downloaded all tracks no problem. Did you dl the mp3s? Do you have winzip? You need to unzip so you can play. I don't know anything about the t-shirt, I prefer a sweatshirt anyway, but i have enough clothes so if they don't ship to EU ok. I'd rather not have it, than go thru admin issues. I've never been on another site like NPG so whether there'll be priority booking for concert tickets that remains to be seen. Good luck with the mp3s  "Free URself, B the best that U can B, 3rd Apartment from the Sun, nothing left to fear" Prince Rogers Nelson - Forever in my Life - | |

Nice to read many responses to a very sensitive topic of conversation.
Again maybe the powers that be can do something positive concerning these issues with the LOTUSFLOWER Website. Let's try to keep it positive even though there is a bit of fustration here. I know that I am a bit fustrated concerning the $$$$ that I spent personally. Thank you.....Nicky Tuzio e-mail: tuztones@optimum.net | |

OK.... now I am pissed. I could get a flight over there for 50 euros .... we are totally out of the loop! He should have sent all fans an email "just in case" they might be in the country or able to travel. I hate assumptions. | |

I will probobly fork it out though, as I am a loyal admirerer, and havent been k up with prince for some time, because of the recent changes he's been going through that I dont care for, but like a true chameleon I know he'll change again. What lifetime was referenced? Yours or the club's? Do you really expect anything would last long enough that everyone could expect it to last for their entire lifetime? | |

To add a positive note. French lotusflow3r members did get an email about last monday's show in Paris and could buy an 80 euro ticket by giving their membername.. --- Where am I? ---
Tell me who in this house knows about the quake? | |

French people who live outisde France weren't sent it. The email only went to those LF members who had France registered with the site as their address. Never mind the folks travelling within the country at the time, or those who live in a nearby country who could have, and would have attended. | |

Apparently, they made the changes that I wanted them to make when the NPGMC was up. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

purplecam said: That's because it was for the French ONLY. No it wasn't. It was directed at French speaking people who had their details registered with LF as living in France. The email was in French, sent to LF members in France. Not exclusivley for French people - that's all I'm saying. Now, should they choose to send one in Chinese, to people in Botswana, then I'll take note. | |

Not new and all available elsewhere, legally, for free. 
But since I'm not a member I'll be quiet now.  Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |
