I remember people back in 1998-1999 everyone was complaining about him on the AMP. Everything he posted was negative and everyone wondered why he was still a fan. And now, 14 years later, he still lurks. Amazing! My hat goes off to the guy. He's truthfully the only name that would probably pop into my head if someone asked who's the biggest name in the online fan communities.

ShadesofBartburple.

Like him or not, he never lies or makes things up and backs his claims with hard facts and he definitely knows his subject matter. He´s the yang to some of the yin that´s going on around here, he´s the other side of the coin. I have yet to see a post by Bart where he bullshits.

I don´t believe in "legends" in a fan community, in the end they´re all just fans but, compared to some of those arrogant assholes who think they´re "in the know", he´s comparatively nice (well, not exactly "nice" nice, but nicer than those other idiots).

Just like Ernest Sewell back in the day, Bart brings some much needed criticism to the table. Prince would be well advised to listen to people like Bart (or Alan Leeds ) every now and then.

I'd say this is as off-topic as it gets. Send him a loveletter or something through PMs.

He says what he thinks, which doesn't make it fact. 99% of what he posts is just personal opinion.

He's no lowercasemumbles, that's for sure.

Woaw I remember this guy back from the nineties. Always in a shitty mood, arrogant, agressive, making a mountain out of a molehill about anything really. A prince can do no right as unbearable as prince can do no wrong fans.

To me he is a sociopath and he needs love and affection.

I remeber him and rudedog back in the AMP days. The REAL AMP days. As well as the PML... and then someone got banned and spamed it so bad that it was made into a digest. then that died and was reborn as the PPML...

the gold exp tape tree...

Yes, he sure is a legend around here.

And legends are vital.

Critical people are pivotal for any group of people gathering. It's dangerous if all members would agree and feel pressured into agreeing with the majority.

I value the Bart van Hemelen's of this world. No matter how irritated other people get by the Barts.

The LAST thing that man needs in encouragement. Please lock this thread and delete it into oblivion!

He's no Lou "Bodyslam" Spear.

Bart is still alive! So he needs not to be a legend or a myth or whatever.

(and yes, I have seen him in person)

i agree with much of what he has to say. it's the people with a personal vendetta against him that tickle me and people who make massive sweeping statements about him being sociopathic just because he doesn't like prince's recent output are nuts.

i too don't care for the vast majority of prince's work post 96 and i'm hardly a sociopath. i've only murdered 4 people thus far, and 3 of them were caused by my reaction when he released "rave..".

Ah yeah that...

I've noticed that Bart has had brainless asslickers following him like groupies throughout the years. Thanks for reminding us. Say hello to your guru from me.

I guess that if you have seen enough of life, starting at around 40 for average people, you can see the qualities of stuff with more precision.

So we can also be critical of what goes wrong with certain musicians' businesses.

And because we pay for that stuff we can be critical.

If you are in that age bracket but don't feel critical maybe something is missing.

Some freedom, some time to really reflect on what is happening around you?

Yes, there will always be simplistic, one dimensional people on forums.

Thanks for reminding me.

Nope. He is a sociopath and he has an obsessive personality because he has been constantly pissing over every prince move or anyone mentionning something positive about P for the last 17 years or so. Day after day. With a constant agressivity and arrogance.

This is a sign of mental ilness.

Yeah Prince is a multimillionaire rock star. What do Bart and Ernest do for living ?

I'm glad P is following his own path and does not give a shit about what we think he should be doing.

Why would he listen to losers who have not achieved 1% of what he has?
