Deja, yer fucking HILARIOUS with that "I came...all ovah yer wedding gown" shit. I'm so glad I got to meetcha in the (gorgeous-ass) flesh, cuz I can see you saying that, and I get as hard as a fag can for a chick. wink

awww...touched hug

At the Paisley party, I was shocked at what an insecure vibe he gave off...bitch couldn't even stare down a cute young white boy (not me). It confirmed my sneaking suspicion that he's turned into the biggest follower of them all...and I'm not talking about following God. God would tell Prince to quit being such a shit-head; he would tell him that people in this world are STARVING...people are getting shot and tortured and raped every day...and he would take Prince's money away and let him find out what it's like to not be a pampered, makeup-wearing ex-rock star.

sheeeit...it's times like these i wish i could pull a xanadu move and pop up and be like:
"hey, i'm your new muse, muthafucka! you're fuckin up--don't tell me how to talk, son, i can say what i wanna, it's a free country and you ain't my daddy--anyways, you're fuckin up hardcore. losin your fanbase faster than shit, and here you go, askin folks for bootleggage y'know full well people would gladly buy if ya put it out legit...

(pulls out copy of some live bootlegg) now ummm...this would sound lovely if it were remastered, man..."

Oh, and I'm listening to one of those unauthorized WB recordings right now...and the next time I wanna buy a Prince CD for a family member or loved one, I'll get The Very Best of Prince, b/c I think the only thing Prince cares about besides his ego is MONEY, and therefore I'd like to make as little a contribution to his bank account as possible.

hey, the only ducketts he's gettin from me from here on out is $7 bux, whenever he opens up the park on a friday night...ain't gettin shit else from me but that and a polite nod. nod

awesome post, andrew! woot!

I'm sure I'll still follow his music, b/c I always have, and who knows: maybe he'll completely change his mind about everything and start releasing all the old shit, motherfuckers and all (I doubt that, though). My theory is that he knows that he could NEVER EVER compete with his old music, so he wants it GONE.

I think that Prince is just as perplexed by his former genius as we are.

Whatever happens, 7/23/03 will go down in history as the day I lost the absolute last shred of respect for that hypocritical cry-baby. At the Paisley party, I was shocked at what an insecure vibe he gave off...bitch couldn't even stare down a cute young white boy (not me).

And the moderator actually says, "Prince will not pay anybody back"?

Dude, I don't care how big those damn moderators are...I wanna whip ALL they asses. I might go down, but as long as I make a few of 'em bleed I DON'T CARE.

Hey Prince...let's trade bank accounts, and then YOU can move to Neptune. I'll stay here and release all the shit that your hypocritical ass should. You can get all the profits (it ain't my music) - just stay the fuck in Neptune, so you don't keep eroding your place in rock history.




I don't think that well of the e-mail either, but you know you're talking just as much shit.

The problem is simply that, at least when it comes to the bootleggs, Prince says it's "stolen property", we're not supposed to have it, so he doesn't give a shit that we paid money for it.

That is weird. Hey, maybe they'll sell them back to us as "exclusive material from the Vault!" wink

I'm not sure if this is the outrage that some are making it out to be, but hey whatever. Actually, I'm kinda glad they posted this, serves as a nice guide to what I still need to get smile

Isn't anyone concerned at all that this may not be from the NPGMC and from some hacker that got all our e mail addresses?
Why would Prince have anything sent to Ohio? Also that Way of the Pharoh sounds a little fake to me.
I don't think that even Prince would ask for someone to just give him their personal property without at least offering something in return.

Most of the talk here seems to be about the line at the end asking for bootlegs "in addition 2 the items above". I find it more interesting that they go to such great lengths to describe and ask for the other items, items which most certainly are not "unofficial" releases.

Maybe Prince didn't personally sign off on each of those releases, but Warners was, as far as I can tell, well within their rights to put them out. Whenever they did stop a release, it was as a courtesy to him, but I don't think they were ever obligated to do so.

It would be much more beneficial to whatever his cause is to actually explain what his problem is with these. I understand the bootleg issue, but asking for official WB product back...I'd be really interested in hearing why that is necessary. If WB truly did overstep any contractual bounds in putting these things out, I'd be more than supportive of him.

Wasn't it thought that the planned reissue of all of the old vinyl singles as CD singles in Japan was stopped per his wishes?

Where in the FUCK is Vermilion, Ohio?

I LIVE in Ohio, and I've never heard of it. Is it close to Xenia? wink




Well I used to live in Ohio. Vermillion is a tiny town off of I-71, just south of Ashland, between Mansfield and Wooster. Most of the folks who live there probably go cow-tipping on a Friday night for fun.cow

By the way, I totally agree with what you're saying here and (edited) on the NPGMC. The request, no matter what it's intentions, seems foolish and insulting to me. I am not a 'hardcore' fan, meaning I don't have any boots and haven't kept up with P since the name change all that well. But, this is my 1st year in the NPGMC and it seems I missed all the fun music and beginnings of insanity nutty

Glad you get to speak your mind here! You go boy! clapping

My 2 cents...

This has got to be, without a doubt, the most hilariously stupid thing I've ever heard of any artist doing ever.

My only hope is that it was set up as some sort of a joke to see what kinds of names we will call Prince. I doubt it though.

Funny- 3 mods in the npgchat and no mention of the e-mail. I was hoping to hear what the fams were saying but even they seem too afraid to speak their minds here. Oh, well.

It's a sad day to be a prince fan.

hey - I live in wooster (2 years now) and had never heard of vermillion. Don't you think if they sent out an email asking to "help the cause", they might get a bit more response if they told us what the cause is? My guess is that it's some legal angle to get his master recordings back from WB. But what do non WB bootlegs have to do with that? And without an explination, we've joined a club that to date has given us 1 new song for $25 and in return is asking us to give Prince back his own music. What a bargain.

And how the heck is anyone supposed to know if a release with the WB logo on it fits in the category they are looking for or not?

Hello NPGMC,
Sorry, I only trade bootlegs.
If you send me a list of the recordings you own on CD or video(CD), maybe we can trade some time.

Why is everybody getting their knickers in a knot over this? This is just a simple request from Prince. If you don't like it then don't respond and don't send anything. Seeing as he didn't state his intention we can't understand why he's doing this, so why take it as 'outrageous'?

Imagine this:

- "Can I have $100"
- (offended) NO WAY! Why?!
- "To save this here child from being shot by a mugger"

So if you don't know the intention then how can you get flustered?

All this 'lost my last bit of respect' is just rubbish. You obviously didn't have any to begin with.

No, I won't be sending anything. I just don't feel like it, I'm not outraged.
