You have some nerve although entitled to your opinion. Let people experience Prince for themselves instead of you telling him not to come to Europe. If you don't want to see him perform in Vegas, then let me personally thank you and give you a hug for you not coming to Vegas and making a lot more room in the club for everyone else who wants to attend.


Then you say no one in Europe is aware of what he does?? , well apparently they do as they have been begging for a while for him to come over there and tour. If he didn't mean that much to you then you would not have taken "your own time" to come on these boards and make your "special" post regarding his show in Vegas.

oh oh Ok I see. prince is pure perfection. Everything is does is just plain perfect. Every cd he releases is so great and every show so good. I can feel th FAMS invasion on this thread.

Read again my comment. I mention how great his tour and cd was back in 2002. That's what I would like him to do : being innovative and act like a proper musician and put a fantastic band together. What he does right now is shit. The tweenz have to disappear aspa btw.

wtf is about to happen

Someone has tried this one before you (read posts on the first page). No I don't want prince to turn up in Europe with such a pathetic tour. We have not seen him since 2002 here and the shows were fabulous. His band right now is very average. Not bad of course. But very average.
I would love him to do something adventurous like he did back in 2002. But no, it's gonna be another weird sensless tour supporting 3121 months after everbody has forgotten about it already.
And sorry the Vegas thing is purely pathetic.

Yes, but the ONA tour was a small venue tour, in places of no more than approx. 5,000 seater concert halls, so no wonder he sold them out!! If he toured large arenas, such as Wembley Arena and Earls Court, for example, here at that time, I doubt whether they would have sold those out, because his popularity then was dwindling down 2 virtually a small loyal fan base and he knew it 2!! Hammersmith Apollo, for example, was only a 3,000 capacity arena, not exactly Earls Court or Wembley Arena!!! Most of his small loyal fanbase members went 2 Hammersmith for all 3 nights, so that alone took up some seating!!

Nowadays, he will never fill out 40 - 50 - 60,000 seater arenas or stadiums like he did in the 80s and early 90s!!

[/quote] Basically i don't know of any singersin the year 2006 who have the popularity to fill out an entire50-60 000 stadium in 2006.Do u know of any if u do please state. In my opinion prince is definitely not alone. Most of todays artists are not doing what they were doing inthe mid eighties.

I have heard from several people that the band is fairly average. Are they not performing the songs correctly? I have NOT seen this particular band in Vegas so I can't comment on how good or "bad" they are.

Never said he was perfect, show me someone who is? Point is,.this isn't 2002, this is 2006, if you want to stay stuck in Prince 2002 go right ahead, I'm sure you have enough of his music to always take yourself back to that time period such as the rest of us. With all the music he's made in the past all any of us have to do to get the Prince we want is to go back in our collection and make it happen. You are entitled to your opinion as I am, but you are never going to get Prince 2002 back, people change and move on, it's your choice to move with time or stay stuck in replay doing the same thing and not taking any risks.

I am not trying to fight with you, no need to, but your post seemed to focus more on his performance in Vegas and because you don't like what you've read, you're telling him not to come to Europe? You are basing it on the few negative reports you have read. I say go experience it yourself then come on back to the forums and state what you think about it, instead of going by someone else's experience. Then you state "This is what I would like him to do"...what about what "Prince wants to do?"

If you attend one of the Vegas shows, you'll either like it..or not. If you took a survey from all the people that attended any of the Vegas shows I guarantee you every opinion will be different, but then that goes without saying doesn't it? I just don't think you should tell him not to come to Europe just because, in your opinion, he's not performing in Vegas the way you want him to or singing songs you want to hear. My suggestion to you is, if you feel that way ...then it's simple as this....just don't go, that's all...more room for those who want to.

Thank you!!!!! If he comes to believe the show is wack based on a few reports then so be it, don't go, don't support Prince, and just focus on the music that make you happy. Why speak for all of Europe because two weekends of shows he heard-not experienced-but heard, was not good? Speak for yourself!

Yeah but as you just said he just did that in 2002. Why would he want to do what he just did again? Seems kinda boring to me, doesnt it?

There's part of Prince that can't be touched by electronics or science. It's something that he uses when he creates his music and performs for us. Age isn't a factor, and Prince is the owner of this valuable commodity. Few own it. He creates music that most of us could never dream of. And that puts Prince in a league of his own.

I personally couldn't give a flying fuck if Prince was in Vegas doing a 'one-man-band' playing a banjo with a harmonica sticking out of his ass.
What has that got to do with touring? If he had the Lovesexy band with him, it wouldn't be the same as touring.It's not a tour, it has to have some appeal to non hardcore fans (fams, whatever) or it wouldn't make business sense.I see it as self promotion.

And as for selling tickets in the UK, there are NEVER enough. He's, without question, more popular as a true artist and has more respect than he has for a long time. In '95 he sold out everywhere, in no time at all, all over the UK, Wembley arena three nights on the run at 12,500-15,000 capacity with no trouble, and he was at a low point commercially then, after his name change.
'98 he didn't do enough venues, sold out very quickly, (thats how I got lucky and saw him at Brixton after Wembley arena sold out.
'02 was supposed to be an intamate tour, he could have stuck around all year and sold out every night in London, tickets were very hard to get hold of.
When Prince DOES come to the UK, HE NEEDS TO MAKE SURE HE DOESN'T 'UNDER-SELL' HIMSELF AND PLAY MORE VENUE DATES.
I think he under-estimates how well he can still sell to the UK, he is much loved, and he always claims how much he loves us here as well. SO GET YOUR SKINNY ASS OVER HERE SOON (I get married in September, so any time after then will be great)

As disturbing as your post is, I agree



You can call me when your shuttle lands.

P could start a tour in Europe tonight and sell it out in hours. Get real. Hes one of the last African American true artists that so many europeans spend endless hours emulating. Wheres that dude that used to wear ruffled shirts and roll around in flowers? But you dont have to worry about him touring that cold berg anytime soon. He has expressed no interest to do so whatever. Your awards didnt even bait him. I'd say the one that need more soul is yall. Hanging out w/ British rockers dosent sound like his cup of tea old chap.
