Yes, but KISS have never made any bones about being in it for anything but the money, the sex and the fame. Prince, on the other hand, is "in it for the music". Having said all of that, I firmly believe that the ticket is worth what you can get for it. Period. He sold it out, so it must be worth the money to enough people... Supply and demand. Also: KISS always gives their fans their money's worth and always acknowledge them as the reason for their success. Musically, there's no comparing Prince with KISS, but in terms of giving back and acknowledgemnt, KISS wins. There's a reason that 4 guys with such minimal talent made it so far. [This message was edited Fri Sep 26 20:51:58 PDT 2003 by herb4] Dude, actually I'm a metal head so dude I know about KISS and I know about the fans they have also and how they do no wrong..and all that bs about being in it for the sex money fame. Seems like they release a bunch of shit and suck people in like star wars or star trek or something. Getting the KISS dolls would not give me a hardon but hey whatever! As for KISS I do like some of the music, I think they created some good tune! Just cause they are carried away with the merchandise does not mean they suck. Prince in it for the music period. To me Prince is much more complex than that? I mean dude he makes his rules and breaks his rules. I personally would not spend the cash to shake his hand, I would go to see the show man! All the merchandise, fuck that. I would buy more music thats all. All this shit people buy just clutters up there space after time. Much rather have easier living, some music and most of my money goes into stocks, savings, bank, where these other fucks put it all to begin with! Here yaall jackoffs give a well off artist more money so you can only see 3 shows a year!! Yeeeeaa Haw!! Go broke kissing Gene Simmons asshole!! Welcome to the new millenium!! I know I know I'm carried away a bit but I just do not see much of a gain in paying a bunch to shake some dudes hand and say 'oh high yes, I like your music dude' course I suppose Gene SImmons may fuck ya!

I personally think that Prince has given his fans alot of music for a very low cost in the last 2 years, not 2 mention access to the best seats at his shows 4 what 25 to 100 dollars.Now he is offering a special package 2 his aussie fans and you not them are complaining.Like someone said earlier there are plenty of other seats available for these shows,you do not have to buy the spacial packages.and if you don't want to pay for them then stay home.He does have the right to make a living. | |

me to... the silk thing. prince is style and style costs.
If you want the real feeling just sing the tunes and the words will follow, the words that prince wrote. does it feel good? My watch it tells the time I love it my girl brought it for me it ain't Gucci or Versace, my guitar...now that's a cloud, and one day I'll have a big white mansion. RussB since 1971 Ps I would love to meet prince I would pay... what would you ask, if you had just one question...? | |

Wow, AU$996 to have the opportunity to talk to Prince..
Pff, how low can you go. He should be glad to talk to people for free. He can talk to me for no charge at all, I might even talk some sense into him... They also must have a lot of spare ONALive boxes lying around. He's basically selling them again to people who probably already have it. The soundcheck and preferred seating is cool though (made my membership worth it last year anyway) and those Diamond Tickets are similar in price to what we paid over here. Let's hope the shows kick ass and the start of a new world tour. -dennis- -dennis- | |

[This message was edited Mon Sep 29 19:38:46 PDT 2003 by realm] Well, I understood about half of that. To clarify, what I meant was: 1.) KISS has always been in it mainly for the money, sex and girls. Thier fans make that possible, they know it, and always give them thier money'sworth. 2.) Prince SAYS it's all about the music and spirituality, then behaes otherwise (greed, misogony, etc. 3.) Prince is a better musician than all of KISS put together. 4.) Prince can charge what he wants for his shows, but he shouldn't pretend that "Money Don't MAtter"and that it's all about God and family. 5.) I enjoy KISS and Prince both, but for different reasons. 6.) I would never pay that much money to meet any of them. | |

herb4 said: 6.) I would never pay that much money to meet any of them. When it comes down to it ya know no one can really justify paying to meet an entertainer. I can bet you though many people will buy the KISS casket. Many people will bust out some some money to meet Prince. Dude, I know what your saying. The differences are many, why would a Prince want want to shell out the clams to meet P?? why would a KISS fan want to shell out the clams to meet Gene-o. I think some fans will see shelling out the money to go to the meet and greets as cool, yet some of us could care less, some of us will see these types of events as very uncool. I think Kiss, Prince and Aerosmith are cool, but its way fuckin uncool to charge fans to meet them. I have tons of music, tons of P music, but this sorta paying to meet an artist to me is uncool. Being a lover of music I will continue to respect other fans, even if they were to shell out the clams to meet an artists. Still IMO its very unrock, very unsoul, very uncool to do that. But hey ain't cool dead? $orry if you do not Under$tand half of thi$!!! | |

Prince used to be about music. Now he´s about money. Why does he try to squeeze big amounts of money from the few loyal fans he got left? That´s stinks. Prettyman? Make that Greedy man. I still love the music but hey, wake up! | |
