hopefully John is back and Hannah is gone but I doubt it. He is going to force this crappy new band down our throats im sure.

How the hell is a question about Prince's band an associated artist topic?

In topic: There's no way for us to know what happened, obviously, but isn't it possible that RBJ turned Prince down, not that he didn't pass muster? It's not like we haven't heard about how difficult Prince can be to work with. Maybe he got a glimpse of life with Prince and decided it wasn't for him?

Who said he is difficult to work with? Expecting an employee, which band memebers are, to show up prepared does not make one difficult. Opionions you are entitled to, facts you are not...

As far as the life, he just stated as recenlty as Ferbruary 21, that its a joy rehearsing with them, the popccorn is great and the paint had been officially went in hard at rehearsal. Now he doesn't play. ..

why can't prince have 2 bands at the same time-prince & the npg and prince & third eye girl. george clinton had parliament & funkadelic. when prince is busy with 3rd eye girl the rest of the band members could be playing with andy allo(excepting the 3 back up singers who all have solo projects going on currently) when the npg is in the house-everybody shows up. the fans will show up rather prince has a ridiculous 21 piece band or a quartet as long as prince is in the mix. with jb being a professor-he won't be free 2 play with prince or andy allo at the drop of a hat. so prince will need another drummer for andy allo & the npg.
