Just answer one question Bart, why R U here?????

Purpracer2 said:

More dumb insults. Each insult is yet more proof that what I'm saying is right. If I was wrong, you'd be able to prove me wrong -- throwing dumb insults around is just a sign of weakness.

BartVanHemelen said:

Who is the 1 doing the insulting? Aren't U telling us we're stupid 4 like Prince and his new music? Now that is typical...or rather calling the kettle black.

BartVanHemelen said:

Bart,
U can dislike Prince all u want, but your TONE in these posts do NOT help your cause.

BartVanHemelen said:

Well, prove what U R saying is right... throwing your insults around is not weakness????

Last time I saw, this was Prince.org.... not PutDownPrinceandhisfansreview.com/org

Graycap23 said:

And if I may add to this, it causes people to brush off what you are saying, so in the end, most people end up not caring about what you gotta say.

I couldn't agree more... it's obvious some people come in here 2 show their true essence. All I did was come here 2 show my like of the new music, and I get pissed on 4 it? I don't think so... so, Purplecam... which new song do U like?

Purpracer2 said:

It's so hard because I loved them all, I really did. I think the song I'm feeling the most is Wall of Berlin. I love the delivery of the vocals, the guitar is SICK and I love the drums. Colonized Mind is another hot song, I love the dark feel of that song. It's powerful. What about you Purpracer2, what's your favorite song from the bunch?

purplecam said:

You can like whatever you want; But don't pretend these new songs are like nothing Prince has done before.

purplecam said:

If peopel have a POV that they can BACK UP by facts, fine. But bullshit about how Prince is an innovator? Pur-lease. Debunked over and over again.

purplecam said:

No, people don't like what I say because they know I'm telling the truth -- a truth they don't wanna acknowledge. Go back to 1999 and I was one of few who'd pointed out that Rave was a dud. People pointed to the Uptown preview and I explained how it was obviously a carefully worded attempt at not tellign the fans that Rave was a dud.

Yet six months later most fans said EXACTLY THE SAME THINGS that I said, and Uptown wrote a scathing review -- and Gav and others admitted that I was right about what I said about their preview.

It's the same thing over and over again: people who pretend to love Musicology labeled it rubbish by the time the next album came out, etcetera etcetera.

purplecam said:

Yes, I'm the one who lives in a fantasy world -- and that's how I managed to debunk several ridiculous opinions on this thread by pointing out simple facts. Meanwhile the likes of you cannot do anything except whine about how nasty I am by debunking your myths and retort by throwing cheap insults.

If I'm so wrong, it should be easy to PROVE ME WRONG.

airbak said:

I am with the two of you. Colonized Mind is like sunshine after a week of rain! I LOVE it. Everything on this song moves me - lyrics, guitar, chorus, vocals. I REALLY dig it.

purplecam said:

I love them all... I hope that's cool... lol. I really like the trippy Crimson and Clover...heck, I like them all. It's cool 2 talk 2 some-1 who is positive. Thanks...

Graycap23 said:

Mike, did you even bother to read the post? My tone is THE SAME ONE USED BY THE ARTIST YOU LOVE.

BartVanHemelen said:

Lol.....I think u have some valid arguments....but the presentation....

Colonized Mind is awesome and innovative... all the new songs are cool as heck.. anybody that can C that have their heads stuck, well... I'd rather not say... at least some of us in here are Prince fans and understand. 4 the ones who are here 2 diss.... U shall B missed... Love 4 One Another

I am feeling excited!! I am so in the mood for new Prince music!

Purpracer2 said:

Sigh... Once again, making the notes up in your mind. Go on, give examples of me insulting anyone, like calling them an employee of "NPG Records" or questioning their presence on this board etcetera.

This is typical fam behavior: someone says something they don't like, and instead of keeping on topic they immediately start attacking the messenger and use insults and then tell lies.

THE NEW SONGS ARE GREAT.... NO OFFENSE... JUST MY OPINION... ;P

Someone posted the link in this thread http://prince.org/msg/7/292174

It's the full radio broadcast.

BartVanHemelen said:

DON'T WORRY... I'M NOT TALKING 2 U ANYMORE... I WON'T "ATTACK" WHAT U SAY AGAIN... U HAVE YOUR OPINION, WE HAVE OURS... I BID U A GOOD DAY

Graycap23 said:

I repeat: Prince has said similar things, and I doubt you've ever attacked him on that.

Oh, and you do know what your sig says, right? "If u want some censored shit.....go elsewhere. If u want the TRUTH, come 2 me." Yet here you are, demanding I censor myself.

Graycap23 said:

Oh really?

Let's see:

Purpracer2 said:

Apparently, I cannot dislike Prince -- or at least I cannot voice my opinion.

BartVanHemelen said:

It's all about you isn't it? Such a shame. I don't care to try and prove you wrong but it shouldn't be about proving anybody wrong, it should be about if you are feeling Prince and his music. No more no less. So many people come here and make things much more complicated than they need to. Why would anybody want to come to a site just to debate and fight people? I don't care about the "facts" that you try to bring here, I just care about Prince and his music. I also care about the fans and seeing that no one fucks with us just because we're fans. If you think we're crazy, then fine but we'll still going to be the fans that we are and we'll like what we like, even if a song sounds like something that was done in the past. I can't speak for anyone here but if you come at me silly, I will call your ass on it too. To me, you're acting like a child, it will not get you far at all. Stop talking down to us. That's why I don't respect you and I won't get into any debates with you. You need to grow up Bart.

LA LA LA LA... I REALLY DIG THIS NEW SONG "COLONIZED MIND" ...

purplecam said:

HEY, PURPLECAM... LET'S PUT A VEIL UPON THE NEGATIVITY HERE... IF UNSEEN, THEN MAYBE THE NEGATIVE NERG WILL GO AWAY... I WOULDN'T B DISAPPOINTED, WOULD U? LOL

Purpracer2 said:

It is a great song isn't it?

IT'S AWESOME... WITH ALL THE REST... CAN'T WAIT 2 GET MY HANDS ON A FULL ALBUM... ISN'T IT AMAZING HOW LONG PRINCE HAS BEEN A MAJOR STAR? IMAGINE SOME OTHER ACTS TRYING 2 GO 21 NIGHTS STRAIGHT AND SELLING OUT EACH NIGHT... SURE DOESN'T SOUND LIKE AN OLD MAN 2 ME...

Purpracer2 said:

Oh I'm done with him Purpracer2. I said all I needed to say and it's over and done. I'm going to keep jamming to this new music that I got cause it's some great stuff And no, I won't be sad at all when the negative one goes away

BartVanHemelen said:

But who still listens to Grace Jones? I mean is she not about 20 years ago as well and you still listen to her music? So to each their own. Whatever floats your boat, and that's how it should be. Not everyone is going to like every song an artist puts out. If you don't like it, then that's fine, there's others that will, and quite frankly shouldn't have to answer to anyone or ask their permission to purchase a particular artists' music either, It's their choice, that's the bottom line. As every artist will continue to live their life whether anyone likes their music or not.Geez!

It shows that he's still doing something right. He still has it and I can't wait to see where 2009 takes us. I'm so proud to be a Prince fan, I really am.
