Speak for yourself! You sound "disgruntled."

I totally agree with you! I think Prince became almost just as vulgar as Paris Hilton. Listening to his music embarrasses me.

Prince is alienating his fans and literally only the Kool-Aid drinkers and JWs are left.

JWs love it because he's quoting scripture and trust me, I know lots of JWs and boy do they love to quote scripts. In fact, they have conversations purely by quoting script. Its kinda interesting. Almost like confutious (? spelling) in that you can interpret differently, but I digress.

And the Kool-Aid drinkers "oh Prince is such a genius, oh how he plays the guitar and writes lyrics like voting sucks," its so deep you might drown in those waters lol.

The real fans, like me. We're still in hibernation re: Prince. Won't buy anything of his until simply, he makes something of quality. But as usual, the man won't record a live concert and sell it more than once every 20 years. Get real P!

There is a whole new year coming up and I feel the people that are not satisfied with Prince asnd his music should just move on!. Most of you are stuck in the past anyway and are just waiting for Prince to go backwards like you obviously are and he just is nver gonna do that!! So instead of hanging on around here and complaining you shoould just get off the motherfucking Prince train becaus4e as you can see it's Moving On!!
God! I hate these CRYBABY BITCHES!

So wat I'm spose to ovastand from all this is that ppl that dig Prince's recent stuff aren't "real" fans?

lol so is Rockability tryin to say that he/she has liked EVERY THING and EVERY SONG Prince has done before he joined the JW? I doubt it. So then that'll mean that Rockability isn't a "real" fan either...right???
I'm jus tryin to make common sense out of wat was said

True. You guys are the real fans of Prince's new music. But when you can practically count new listeners/appreciators of his new stuff with your hand, up to ten, that's a "sign" to get real.

Rockability said:

How many new listeners are there of an artist that's 50 fucking years old???

The over-the-hill theory doesn't pan out. Check out Coechella and come back. Or just go a concert, I've been to 3 and he hasn't seemed to lost anything but his funky dance moves.

Rockability said:

Again, his record sales and ticket sales are 2 different things.

People aren't buying his new albums like they used to.

Of course he still has it live, but most of the people there just wanna hear the classics like Purple Rain, Kiss, When Doves Cry, etc.

Madonna had the highest grossing tour this year, but her new album didn't sell.

Her shows were packed and people paid top dollar to see her. I can pretty much guarantee most of the people there weren't there to hear songs from her new album!!!

How do you think it would sound if Prince hit the studio and improvised one track a day? No copy and paste lyrics over eachother, just him and a band jamming? That's something Miles Davis would even respect.

Rockability said:

He already did that. It was called N.E.W.S, and I thought it was kinda meh.

Paris9748430 said:

Nice call. Yeah, I'm not thinking 4 long instrumentals, something Coltrane-esque is anywhere near making short impros with lyrics. I mean, improvisation encompasses many things.

Rockability said:

You know what???

Prince ain't John Coltrane. Nor is he a jazz musician.

If you wanna hear something like that, go put on a Love Supreme!!!

Right. Course one could argue that he is a jazz musician among other things. He does have skills.

What I'm referring to is more along the lines of the "Black Album."

Rockability said:

Not gonna happen.

Again, if you wanna hear The Black Album, then maybe you should...

Look, Prince is gonna do whatever he wants. He always has.

That's good enough for me.
