Assessment so far?

So far, It look slike Prince has instructed his designers to put more effort into typesetting Bible verses than focusing on the MUISC (is it NPGBSC? no)

As for the "cool" imagery, I have a feeling prince swiped the interior, or main ideas from a batch of large discount books he was seen purchasing at B&N a few months ago.

Wonder if he got copyright clearance? doubt it.

Sure, $25 is a small sum compared to last 2 years, but the last 2 years we got a steaming hot pile of shit, now we get that little pebble that u have to strain to get out of your ass.

A bargain? I guess, if u have time to waste on the toilet.


And for those of u who say im so negative "so early" go fuck yourself. Ive been a big fan for ages, and ive lost my patience.
These will be the same ppl who were saying, up until January to "wait and see how the club finishes for 200"

Also, its April...does 2003 indicate it will end in December or a full year?

whatever way we'd get our moneys worth, it'll be the opposite.

Why are we paying to be lectured? a $25 lame ass chatroom?

Has nobody noticed the lack of music so far?

Unbelievable.

I would really like if someone would post here when they get all the kinks worked out. It is slow as fuck. I tried to logon earlier and it didn't work. My patience for the whole thing is very short.

1 new song, 4 new cyberclips, a Glam Slam party and the release of a new DVD (soon). It's only the first week - give it a chance at least.

I don't care much for the preaching either, but you don't have to read it if you don't want to!

you're right I don't
but take all that questionable content away and u have very little left.

the release of the new DVD will likely contain the cyberclips, which is redundant...and knowing prince, the DVD will be gathering dust in stores across the continent!

"the glam slam party"...wasnt a real party. it was a virtual gathering of fans listening to rehashed remixes, like...surprise! this free site! (minus the remixes, which makes it a better value)

of course i will give it a chance, i have no choice.

but i wont keep my mouth shut until its over, right?

if i were to give it a superhappyfun review, would you tell me to wait until it gets worse to voice my opinion?

nah, everyone just wants to pretend the world is better than it is

or is it only Americans :p

j/k

actually i haven't spent much time over there since saturday. been meaning to check out th chat room though.

i like the chapel/library, actually, i was actually afraid prince would scare us with pop-up preachers lurking in corners. . . okay that's a slight overstatement. but, the chapel is entirely voluntary and i think its presence is prince witnessing to us. whether or not you want to follow him is another matter.

overall i like the club so far. still a few bugs to be worked out, but the intent is there. i think it's encouraging that he keeps trying different formats. the new club seems directly responsive to members' input regarding improvement.

But why is he witnessing when its a MUSIC club?
call it NPG Lifestyle club or some shit like that?

why is it acceptable for him to spew his shit just cuz its religious?

im paying to have the choice to be lectured?
that aint right.

if he gave back $1 for every passage i sat thru, thats cool

??? When did members ask for this?

1 new song (in crap quality)
Clips from a soon to be released DVD
A site which is no good unless you have broadband
Religious rantings

I must have missed the open chat that took those requests! wink

Here is my take so far...

I remember someone from NPGMC telling me the club would change every year! Y1:downloads, Y2:cds..?? With the dvd and web site looks like its the year of visuals???

((A select few))..umm $25 ain't much but maybe if ya all bitch on the org like a bunch of babys and complain to the bbb maybe Prince will drop you some more music.

Ya, sure there will be rants on the NPGMC site time to time, but hell ya know what your getting..damn its Prince.

I've found other artists that I like just as much as Prince so its not like I'm waiting for him to drop me the drugs!

Some of the better purple drugs are already in your hands, take them as you wish.

Good point - well stated and well worded.

I wish I'd thought of it.

You know, I too, am tired of all the bitching and complaining! What were you offered at the time of sign up?? Not a goddamn thing! You took your chance by dropping $25 into something you didnt know anything about! So who is looking stupid now? I am sorry but at this time I am feeling really bad for Prince, thinking he was doing something good and I am sure there is more to come. I mean damn he cant make anyone happy can he?? Give the man a chance... hasnt even been open long enough and you got a whole year to come. Why dont you kick back and wait before ya start cryin!

Thats my two cents!
He calls me "Holi" cuz he says everyday w/ me is like a Holiday...
