what would be a more exciting fit for the current Prince era--a group of raw, 20-30 year old musicians with great potential, but little experience, or savvy middle-aged proven professionals with extensive musical experience?

i would prefer prince to drop everyone and go it alone again

just for an album

he can take anyone he wants on the road. as long as they can
rock out to his tunes.



altho, first time he dropped the band he came up with one of
his best, if not THE best album of his career: signothetimes

second time he dropped his band, he came up with a three disc
set that was less than perfect.

still, it would be interesting enough to see what he would
come up third time running.

Elmo on Bass
Barney on Rythm guitar
Sooty, Sweep and Sue on Backing Vocals
and of course who else but.....

Animal on drums.....

That should be Princes next Band

People that can Play but Relatively Young and Hot.....Nobody wants FOOLS in their GROUP....

i'd love it if prince put together a group like sting's band when he did "dream of the blue turtles" - really great session and jazz musicians who are a bit on the young side and who have a little bit of recognition factor, but still have enough hunger to wanna show out in performance.

ditto

Why not have the best of both worlds? A few players with experience, and a few with the hunger.

I'd like to see him mix and match a little more
