But from a visual standpoint, he wasn't shown doing anything on the show other than introducing himself. That is in no way of bash, it's not like it was said Matt doesn't do anything...his camera time just wasn't prominent.

What does his camera time have to do with this? Nothing!

My point is Matt comes here out of the good of his heart and makes his statement.THEN some criticize him for even posting here and pointing out what he has or hasnt been doing from the time we have/have not heard from him. And I wonder WHY some related artist and the artist themselves NEVER post cause of the massive negativity that surrounds it all.

I go to another message board where the artist themselves leave VERY short 2 worded replies(no it is NOT Prince related). And they(the posters on the board) think its drama the actual artist is trying to cause in reality it isnt. Even if its a minor update or even to correct rumours they have seen. So much for trying to have a minor relationship with fans right? It kills the mood IMHO.

We are very fortunate to even hear from Matt we should be happy he even posted and answered a quesiton(s).
He took time to type that long post out of his life.

Do you see the main artist posting here and making himself known? NOPE!

He dislikes ass kissing more than conversation.

Making the Band 4 is all about P. Diddy putting together world class producers, musicians and song writers etc. It gives the public a little glimpse of what it takes to put together a total package. Although I would have loved more face time, the simple fact is that I am part of Seven Aurelius's production team. There is a lot more going on behind the scenes than they have the air time to show you.All the people involved are putting in long hours to create great music for the artists on the show.

It's a waste of time, Matt even addressed the issue himself in this very thread. If he/she would spend half the time reading this thread opposed to the nonsense that's being rambled off to make us seem negative, they'd see the issue of Making The Band 4 was brought up in this conversation...hence the discussion about Dr. Fink's face time.

But enough of that, this thread is for the discussion of Dr. Fink's other endeavors

Did u see any bashing?

Graycap23 said:

No, but I could see how someone might interpret the wording of your sentence (e.g. "Fink did nothing...") as being a little negative. Instead of saying, "Fink did nothing...." something like, "Fink didn't (even) get to play. He was introduced and that was it." sounds less negative. Your choice of words implies that Fink actively chose to do nothing instead of not having the opportunity to do so.

I would like to know if he has a new album coming out soon? OR if there any plans in the future for a new one, if not, is he going to continue do things like Making the Band or something simular?

I think you may be misinterpreting some of our posts (or at least mine). I was in no way bashing Dr. Fink at all. I am very glad he posted letting us know what he is doing and that he was on Making the Band 4.

I was expressing my disappointment that we did not hear and see more from the Dr., that is not a diss but a nod to him. Dr. Fink is one of my favortie musicians and naturally I am always going to want to know more info and have him get more face time. When we (or at least myself) were dissappointed in the amount of time Dr. Fink got on the show it is exactly because we like him and wanted to see more.

Just like when the Time was on the Grammy's with Rhianna. I wanted to see more Time and less her. If I was a big Rhianna fan I probably would have wanted to see more her and less of the Time. But that is not a diss to Rhianna. I am just a big Time fan.

I just wanted more info like if Dr. Fink wrote, played on or Produced any of the tracks we heard from Donnie because I liked them.

Making the Band 4 is all about P. Diddy putting together world class producers, musicians and song writers etc. It gives the public a little glimpse of what it takes to put together a total package.

Co-sign.....

Fink did nothing on Making the Band. He was introduced and that was it.

Graycap23 said:

So you are denying you said this???I took it as that, When you said "Fink did NOTHING..." I didnt take it as a nod IMHO I took it as a negative expresion of saying he hasnt done a thing until now. Even Devoted puppy pointed that out to you as well. And yet I am the one that takes the fall hmmmm fishy isnt it?

Maybe you should go back and edit you own post to make it sound like a nod then a negative statement.


To Sowhat: I wasnt talking about you and your statements they are very clear to me thanks.

Deny that I said it? Hell no.....anyone who did not see that as a statemnet of FACT is their fault, not mine. He did NOTHING on the show. That is a FACT.

Graycap23 said:

Maybe jsut maybe he didnt want that to be known in the show or wasnt in the contract( just think about that for a second please). So saying it is our fault isnt really nessasary when we DONT know what was in the contract or was agreed to between Matt and the show either right? The biting my head off bit can stop now thanks. I wasnt biting your head off in either way shape or form.I was making points as well.

Honestly IMO Prince really should ask Dr Fink back. The new band is a lil bland to me. Dr Fink and the Revolution as a whole brought alot of colors and texture. The Lovesexy band was the last time he had a stand out band.

Dr.Fink remained in-character no matter what artist change Prince was going through at the time...

Some of u guys need to learn respect for Christs sake. If u are a true fan of Prince's music u should appreciate Dr Fink's contribution to this website. I was/still am a big fan of the Revolution. They were in my opinion the BEST band Prince ever had and produced some of the best songs. All of the people in the group had character and personality which u can see in the film Purple Rain. What is with the quotes on flagulating asses? Gross! That David Lynch quote I don't get it. What the hell is that about, some kind of riddle?
