If Prince asked you if you had any bootlegged music of his... would you give him an honest answer? | |

Sure I would. I'd tell him I had a bunch and I would gladly trade them for quality versions if he released them! I'd tell him he's a great live performer and he shuold be complemented on the fact that I have nearly every single performance of his that's been recorded ![]() "The voter is less important than the man who provides money to the candidate," - Former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens

Of course.
This would be a better question for the NPGMC. | |

This would be a better question for the NPGMC. LOL, yes, it'd be interesting to see if how many folks say yes...versus how many folks howled in outrage at the idea of owning boots that rob Prince of his due, etc. ![]() And of course it would be MOST interesting to somehow determine how many fans in the latter group actually have bootleg collections!! ![]() "I would say that Prince's top thirty percent is great.

Prince,
I have tons of bootlegs and they are by far some of my favorite possessions. They are what I consider to be the REAL Prince. I will gladly pay you nearly any amount of money for high quality versions if you STOP making new music and start releasing what's in the vault. | |

Hell, I wouldn't shut up about all the bootlegs that I have if I met him. "And then cuz, aaawh, Mr. Prince when you laid down the basic tracks on "Teacher Teacher" was the intention to..." | |

onenitealone said: mzflash said: No, ![]() ![]() People actually did that? ![]() I thought about copying all the boots I have onto MP3, and mailing in the originals. The more boots he sees, the more he might think "wow, people love this stuff - I guess I should release more". At the same time, I'd still have the tracks to listen to if I wanted. Alas, the effort of actually doing this meant that three years or so have gone by, and I've done nothing of the sort... | |

He is (imo) one of the few musician who always sounds better live than on his albums. I admit, I do feel sort of dirty buying them since he is not receiving anything from me purchasing a TB release --but once I hear how great the shows are I forget how dirty it makes me feel and I WANT MORE. ![]() (Right now I'm listening to Eye Wish U Heaven from the Dortmund show.

Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

![]() I would say the same exact thing, love. I would then ask him why he never released "The Dream Factory" and "Camille" because they are outstanding pieces. And then I would ask him some questions about a few of them, like why was "Get Blue" never released as a single and what was up with "Corporate World?" | |

Hell yeah, I'd tell him! Then I'd try to discuss with him what I (and 99% of his fans) want to see him do with the NPGMC: release all that vault stuff!!!! ![]() Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended, for the taking of offense is what rests in the bosom of the stupid ones.
