There is even a little piece of "discreet" spitefulness on the note itself: "My personal Prince collection will appear there soon".

Well, big thank you anyways to www.guide2prince.org for providing all the info over the years. Somebody should just copy the information and recreate the site without the images and the symbols and we're free to go again. No?

Prince seems to have a lot of free times recently...go and update the NPGMC site instead of shutting others!

Man, ya'll really need to stop blaming Larry Graham for Prince's acts. He's 45 or 46, I'm sure he can make up his own mind about now.

Maybe it was someone from the NPGMC club who asked. Hmmm.

I was not blaming Larry G for P's actions, if airplanes were assholes, Paisley Park would be an airport.

It's all aboout the music. Give fans an options and bootlegs would not exist. Prince made foot soldiers out of fans in 95 so WB would release the Gold Album, but then when we want something released we get slapped in the face. Let's all go together and buy the domain name to gtp.org and create a site which chronicles all the times he has stiffed his fans, that would be the ultimate guide to this ass.

same thoughts here; look at the last time i posted here, and you'll see my interest for the little purple bitch is close to zero - i actually came here because Matt put a link on Freemyheart.com & because it reminded me an old story...

I can sincerely say i didn't play any Prince record in 2003, and certainly won't play one in 2004 or buy a ticket for his shows anymore.

So my first word to Prince for 2004 will certainly be the last :
RETIRE !!

ps : I'm pretty sure Prince.org is on the little bitch blacklist; who's next...

Chimchim, You came on this sight to tell us that your not a prince fan anymore, and were surppose to give a damn.Stay off of the sight for another year we won't miss you. What an assclown.

To be honest, I'm surprised Prince Rotten Nelson didn't go after the site before.

Prince - that little fuck. I love his music, but fucking hate him.

While you so busy checking "websights", the rest of us look at websites.

Prince is an ASS sometimes. You cannot go around and alienate your fan base and expect not to lose some fans. What an ass.

Why isn't anyone mad at Deane for chickening out? He had a good case.

LittlePill said:

Damn...me too!

Prince esta muerto...

Who spread all the boots like Madhouse 24 etc., Prince did...who was making a lengend out of himself by withdrawing albums, Prince did.

So what the f***...bring back the days of wild...let something happen that opens the mans eyes and let him see where he came to...JW's are sucking the soul...soul sucking devils...keep it real and leave the peeps alone who are just documenting what is out...

No hate...cause u know the hate that hate made...but a frontier of understanding...and admiration...the man is lost...

Peace

Its there for information purposes. One can assume its to increase their collection, but its more to inform yourself about certain bootlegs so you get what you want and not what sucks. Deane doesn't PERSONALLY sell or trade bootlegs, it says so right on the site. He also states that you'd rather buy from the NPGMC than buying bootlegs. In no way does the site condone bootlegs for sale or trade. Its merely there for information purposes.

Either way, it being shut down..bootlegs will continue to be sold. No matter what Prince does, it will all continue.
Can't stop the waves from crashing...

I find this interesting for one reason, and one reason only...a while back when I reported to Paisley Park that there were people on this site making extremely rude and disrespectful comments about African-Americans (this was before the new posting guidelines, and perhaps, that was what facilitated them), I received a reply that basically stated: "Thanks for the info, but we prefer not to go there, ever." Okay...so, this is my question: If "they", whoever the fuck "they" prefer not to come here, how would "they" know anything to such an extent that the "Paisley Police" would even have to be involved? Either you know what's going on because you keep this place heavily monitored (in spite of what you claim to the contrary), or you don't. You don't get it both ways. (That's like saying you didn't lie to me, you just didn't tell me the truth)

Now, I'm not saying that the people are lying...I'm just saying that somebody's not telling the truth...

And why is he so upset anyway? He's the one who's pimping what little fanbase he has left...we're not pimping him...we never have...maybe we rode his jock pretty hard for a while, but hey, most of us were at least twenty years younger at the time...people change...they grow older, wiser, and realize that if they really wanted to throw their money in the garbage, then they should just put it there...who needs a middleman for that?

If he would ever bother to put out some new quality music, then maybe people wouldn't be so nostalgic and desperate for anything good which takes them back to their happy place, and seeking bootlegs and whatnot wouldn't be necessary.

Someone's putting the blame on the shoulders of those who should not be forced to carry the burden of another's mistakes, misgivings, poor judgments, bad choices, etc., etc.

easy: the org isn't the only fan community that's out there.

and--they won't come near this site? oh lawd...we're that eeevil?

Bull said:

Actually if you read any of my posts you would have seen that I could have really given a fuck if Prince showed up or not. YES I thought he would, but with the line up that night, I didn't miss him a bit. So I'll still be saying whatever I want to about Prince and if you don't like it either skip my posts or YOU get over it.

I must admit that i laugh when people claim this is the last straw and they will not even see a Prince concert if he comes to their town. What a croc of shit! You'll be there and you know it.

This action he has taken is not surprising or out of character. He attempts to plug the dyke with his finger every couple of years and fails.

When he comes to your town you will be there. Dont fucking kid yourselves!!

bkw said:

I agree, but it is down to the die hards. Still look at what he Once WAS! He sold millions. He ain't all cocky braggin Platinum cause he ain't going Gold. Some fans will make excuses, ohh he does not care about charts, radio or Mtv. It's down to the folk who will buy any new music no matter what. I'm one of them! I just see it as people do not give him any sympathy for shit. You got to figure a lot of us have more interst in other music, Why? his actions? or the music from Prince? all little bit of this and that??
If I was blind to what P is doing these days and was brousin the net and was wondering what P was upto! If I came across these posts or came across his web site, I'd prolly figure he was sucking out. Most people do not even know this guy exhists anymore! They do not even know he records new music.

Ecerlasting now ,you are so full of shit. You were riding Princes dick up until a couple of weeks before the show, and when it did't look like he was going to show you started with your comments. Personally I don't give a crap but I hate when people fake the funk, or in your case are full of crap. Now your trying to say that with that line up ,who needs Prince. What the hell are all the MPLS acts without him. Exactly. Just admit that you are mad at him and stop being a assclown.

bkw said:

Don't be so sure...if Prince is giving me an easy excuse to save $100+ dollars, I just may take it.

Sure most people will still go see him, but it does tip the scales for others.

You're as wrong as you are stupid. And the same could be asked about Prince, what would HE have been without the acts that performed at the Family Jamm? What he is now actually, not interesting.

I think you left the shit off your chosen org name buy the way. And I will say it again...I thought that Prince would be a good enough friend to show up to help support Sheila but I could give a shit if he showed up or not. So

"Uptown lost, in a sense, because they agreed to remove all information on bootlegs from their magazine too.

well, they did it as a 'courtesy' to Prince... so they didn't really lose... but I think they should have said "im sorry man, but too bad! we discuss bootlegs-now go away"

"I don't understand how it could be illegal just to list information about bootlegs."

IT IS NOT.

the ONLY thing questionable is the scans of the covers: but if they took the scans down, then he'd really have no merit to his actions.

"there is no complaining for getting caught breaking the law right?"

What kind of nonsense is this?
Transporting TEA used to be illegal.
Many laws are not even there for a common good...

Trading bootlegs is not directly illegal. If caught 'trading' bootlegs, they can seize the material from you... aslong as you claim ignorance, and don't resist - there is NOTHING they can do.

the guide2prince.org did not carryout trading.

It's not like they are discussing ways to smuggle narcotics into the United States without making a deposit to Banamex...
and even then they would have done nothing illegal.

Everlastingnow, I guess that now your telling me that Prince is who he is because of the people that he worked with. Your more full of shit than I thought. You like wendy and lisa and because of them Prince became a star right.Remember Prince recorded many many songs before them.His first 4 albums were recorded solely by himself, vocals as ell as the music.So stop acting LIKE A FOOL AND LISTEN TO WHAT YOUR SAYING. Prince hired them to tour,not to right songs.Dumbass
