Do you have something you want to get of your chest about Prince??

I've been on the org quite some time. There's a lot of unhappy fans. What is it that's driving you crazy about Prince, or something positive you'd like to say???

Is it??

The NPGMC
The ONA tour
Bootlegging
Princes personal life
Other fans
Whatever??

GO AHEAD SOUND OFF!!

I'm currently having a hard time with Prince saying one thing and doing another. FREE music. That's a joke. It seems to be coming with a huge price tag on it.

I will say on the positive side, the ONA show was the best show I've ever seen him perform live. I basicly have every concert he's performed since 79', and ONA is by far his best. (In my opinion)

PS Leave the bootleggers alone. No matter what you do Prince, you'll never be able to stop them a 100%. Why not make some kind of deal with them eh???

Where have you been? Prince's fans have been sounding off since day 1 and in most threads created here. One more isn't going to make a difference. If you want to see everyone's venting just read as many threads as you can.
Make a deal with the bootleggers? What are you smoking?

Yeah,are you indeed a Bootlegger yourself? Prince has the right to do what he wants with his music. Nobody else has the right.

Just like he has the right to throw a private party if he wants to.

I could care less about most of the stuff that people complain about here. I just care about the CDs. So if I'm going to get something off my chest, it would be-

Where is my:

Xenophobia studio album
One Nite Alone box set
Madrid 2 Chicago album
Roadhouse Garden album
Crystal Ball 2 album

etc., etc. etc...

It's funny how when Prince was signed 2 Warner Bros he often complained about how they wouldn't let him release his music as quickly or often as he wanted, but now that he's in the position and has the freedom 2 release what he wants when he wants, he's holding back. WTF?!
And just how much money does he need? He's living a very decent life. If he's that concerned about money, there r many other ways 4 him 2 make it AND keep his underground fanbase happy. The post some1 made about what "The Who" r doing with their live shows is a very good idea. He has the equipment 2 do that.
I always felt he could've been his own bootlegger. He could've set up his own alias company like that Gamilah Holdings and sold his own work. He should be a bit glad that after all these years and no recent top 10 hits that he's still 1 of the most bootlegged artists around.

What happened in Florida at Les Bains Douche with the glass in 1993? Do you remember how it broke and the blood? The Oriental bodyguard saw what happened and came outside to see? Do you know what caused it to fall? Was is somebody else's fault? Remember??? Also,what Look was it that I had?

===EXCELLENT ADVICE origmnd! my sentiments xactly! i so admire the man 4 this!, as much as some of u r angered by what prince is doing, i highly respect him! other musicians may let this stuff go, but prince has HIGH regard 4 his art. thats why he doesnt care if people like him or not for his beliefs, (religious or otherwise) how many fans he loses bcuz of them, how popular he is with "the masses". what he does care about, is that the music he makes and his reputation is not cheapened by "mass producton", just 2 b one of "todays" pop stars! his work is too good 2 b taken to that xtreme, plus it is too sophisticated. if he doesnt want something of "HIS" stolen by these bootleggers, (and i cant fathom how in the hell they even get into paisley, and the concerts as ppl r searched!) bcuz they dont have his permission, then he has EVERY right to do as he has to... just as he has EVERY right to not release his "vault" stuff some ppl cant keep from bitching about ALL the time. IT'S HIS, not urs, only HE decides what and when and 2 whom he wants it distributed. i would feel the same! RESPECT HIS WISHES, or why b a fam? u can say "well, if he dont release the stuff, i'll get it from the bootleggers," but why would u even want to listen 2 something he doesnt want released? how cool is that? NOT! yes, i have myself, bought these recordings in the past, (some) mostly not knowing they were illegal, AND NOT knowing just how much prince is upset over this till now! i will not buy any more bcuz of this, until prince releases them, and if he decides not to 4 some reason only he knows, then i shall abide by that as it is his wishes! this is called respecting the artist and his music.
May the BELLS ring 4 U even when ur not in love. hug kisses

That's what I'm talking about. Everything he said about the W.B. situation about his music and his freedom was bullshit, plain and simple. Now he has the power to put an album three or four times a year and what is happening? Nothing. So for him, first the money, then the music. It's been like that since he change his name to o{+.
