Prince and The Band or Prince and the NPG?

Is Prince changing the name of his band from the NPG? His new chant of Prince and the Band has got me wondering...

He can't change the name to "The Band." Bob Dylan already has his band called "The Band."

Besides, the letters NPG are already all over everything at Paisley Park, including the record label...

I think he should change the name to "Prince and the Dirty Sanchez's". wink

The first single release will be "Vodka and Dirty Sanchez". smile

You're not alone in that one. Shoulda kept "the Revolution" as his band's name in my opinion.

I thought 'NPG' has sounded ultra-gay since its inception, 1991, 1992? I can appreciate the commitment, but redirect your artistic course already

the Revolution was extremely cool, but you need to kill a cool thing like that before you ruin it, by making records like 'Diamonds and Pearls' and stuff like that

You're not alone SkeltonKee. I never cared for NPG either.

i hope he changes the band's name. i've never liked the name 'new power generation' and especially the abbreviation NPG. i think it's kinda stupid to be honest. 'the revolution' just sounds better. and to be clear on this, i ain't talking about the music, just the names! 'prince & the band' would be cool.. too bad bob dylan beat the punch.

purple music does the same to my brain

The New Power Generation sounds like they could have played for the prom episode on Saved By the Bell.
