Dont take things to seriously people

Evvy said:

I apologise. No offense intended. Maybe could have been worded different.

mentalist said:

In all honesty, his religion's no ones business. For an artist thats been around as long as he has, still releases albums and performs live on a regular basis. People weren't moaning when his extra cheap o2 tickets were released.

gurdet said:

???? Your losing me! Prince has been religious since day one, however it's his change in beliefs that has undoubtedly - not necessarily the main reason - been a driving force to his recent actions and attitudes.


But as for me, I've never complained. I still can't wait for any thing new from him, I loved all of the O2 shows I went to, and I'm off to Croke park and can't wait!!!!

No problems here!!!!

You may be right...I may be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic he's lookin' 4...

mentalist said:

Sorry, that wasn't directed at you. It just gets on my nerves how people moan about prince ALWAYS treating his fans bad. Would people prefer him to put up lots of stuff on the net, and stop his live shows. I wouldn't!!!

Looking forward to Croke Park too!!

mentalist said:

Or a breeze blowing over a blue-green sea?

Tame said:

Well you know what they say right??

There is a lunatic around every corner hehe

gurdet said:

I've said it many times before, but because Prince over the years has spoiled us with amazing shows, albums, and obscene amounts of un-released material, many have become too expectant and too demanding!!!

Too quick to forget about the millions of amazing times and memories to just concentrate on a couple of bad ones!!!!

As amazing as he is we can be too quick forget that he is after all, only human and it is human nature to be eratic from time to time!!!

Better watch out. Prince has a bad temper, and even though his pumps look brittle, they'll fuck you up!

boo! did i scare ya?

Imago said:

He could poke somebodies eyes out with them things!!!

mentalist said:

yes!

I'll be in London the entire week after the 26th by the way.
posted info in my thread on the other forum.

Tame said:

EEEKKKKK! Dam yes you did!

PSSSSTTTTT- Guess what Im that lunatic your looking for
ROFLMAO!

Ah, the eternal Org debate.
Look.
Prince is getting greedier the older he gets.
If he could get paid every time someone thinks about him, trust me he'd try and do that.

If his blatant disrespect of his fans bothers you, then don't spend any of your hard earned dollars on him.

If it doesn't bother you, get down get down.

ButterscotchPimp said:

This is what i dont get. What disrespect are we talking about??

He doesn't like you have his stuff on youtube, he doesn't like his stuff accesible for free. Whats wrong with that? only because no one other artists seem to care, it doesn't make him disrespectful.

What wrong with wanting to be paid for his work! Gucci dont give away their clothes free to people who are fans of them!!!

I dnt meen to go on about it, but he did london last year for 31.21, with amazing aftershows. That isn't disrespect!!! Barabara Streisands cheapest in the 02 was about 150. I'm kinda glad we cant have access to everything for free, it makes it more special when things do become available to buy (shows,albums etc)

I couldn't have said it any better if I tried. We'll get through this too like we usually do.

gurdet said:

I'm heading out for some work. If someone hasn't taken the baton on this by the time i get back i'll post a list of things that i think show quite clearly how Prince feels about his fans. He wants to get paid off of you, and doesn't care about you at all. Quickest example would be his attempt to control the fan sites. Discuss.

I said it at the Official Cochella thread but it applies to this one too. Truth is, this is business as usual. He didn't let MTV show his concert for the Rock In Rio show back in 1991, BEFORE the Internet so we should be used to this by now. Before someone accuses me of kissing Prince's ass or being a "fam" I'm just trying to put perspective on this. It's no surprise and I wish he would allow us to see the shoe but, oh well. I'm sure it'll be on the news on Sunday and/or Monday.

ButterscotchPimp said:

what is there to discuss. if people feel the way you do they either hop off the boat and move on,stop following his career or continue to support him.

purplecam said:

I'm dissappointed. I was really looking forward to enjoying this, oh, there's Jay Leno.
[Edited 4/24/08 8:51am]

he gets 4.8 million dollars and still gets to throw tantrums and direct the show

he deserves a spanking, really, but at this point all i can do is laugh

purplecam said:

yeah it's not like anyone who's been following prince for like 20 years
didn't know his performance would not be streamed lol.

didn't he record a show from the diamonds and pearls era specifically 2
be shown on mtv and then he bought the rights to that show to precent
them from actually playing it

IstenSzek said:

Exactly. Right or wrong, it's just business as usual.

wonder505 said:

I'm disappointed too but what can we do? Like you said, there's Jay Leno tomorrow.

deepabove said:

Thank you!!! This is exactly what I was thinking. All other artists don't release a dvd of every performance they do. How unrealistic is it of us to ask the same of him? Trust me, i can guarantee many of you have seen way more than i have. I didn't get to join npgmc. Look at all the music that I've missed out on, but you don't see me going insane over it. I love the man, but I missed out and have to wait for another opportunity for him to make that music available. I saw someone selling his performances for cheap the other day and it made me mad because this is why he doesn't want to have his material on youtube because of people that make money from something they didn't create. That's just not fair and it's stealing.

mentalist said:

I disagree. I would say Prince has been spiritual since day one, but he didn't get into the organized religion until the mid 90s.
