eireboy34 said: Why is this line-up not getting me too excited??
There are more interesting people from his past...either that or a whole new band to push Prince to places he no longer dares to go. Now THAT would be exciting  I agree pull in BrownMark 2 drum that bass and Rhonda on the stand up bass Wendy & one of those Minneapolis guitarists from Mazarati | |

DesireeNevermind said: L4OATheOriginal said: well if u can stop screaming 4 him 2 do raspberry beret or any song off purple rain it can happen!! don't let me get my MLK variation of I have a dream speech on u   Im done with the Purple Rain hits, but he isn't. PRain for the 1,135th time y'all get ready.There are only 3 songs from Purple Rain that he performs: Let's Go Crazy Take Me With U & Purple Rain(which by the way everytime I hear it performed, it's different and I love it) He could pull out the Ladder or Free in it's place sometimes, just to keep it fresh2009. But I Would Die 4 U, Baby I'm A Star, 17 Days, Erotic City(which I think we may be hearing more of) or any number of unreleased jams from the PR sessions: Possessed, Lust U Always, Traffic Jam(that would seriously work with the Minneapolis Sound material) | |

Farfunknugin said: PEJ said: I think there were legal song rights issues. I heard Levi intentionally leaked unreleased music which wound up on bootlegger releases because he was so pissed at P. Yeah I read that too, there was also some songs Prince didn't give him credit on, just like he did 2 Eric Leeds | |

bellanoche said: barao9 said: I think he needs a guitar player. bring Mike Scott Back.
My vote for a second guitar would be Miko and Miko only. If he doesn't have Miko then he can handle it all himself. Some of the things I loved about Mico (and he said this in an interview) is that he listened to Prince's music and learned to play (Prince's music) so when he came to the band he didn't come with someone else style of playing. He in the Prince camp late 82 early 83 thru Sheila E. Prince had a good energy with Mico and Miko's energy was similar to Prince (he had a spacey attitude about him) [Edited 3/24/09 10:55am] | |

DevotedPuppy said: Gohi said: Josh and Cora are a great rhythm section who can play anything Prince throws their way. Haters need to step down.
They can play it fine; they're professional musicians after all. They're just boring. I have no idea why, but I guess Prince wants a boring back up band because I'm sure they are playing exactly the way he tells them. mmmmm hmmmm There is a reason Cora had to get up 4 Sheila at the Brit Awards during Purple Rain There are a lot of good musicians, but only certain musicians can play Purple Music, Sheila & Bobby Z are the only 2 that have ever played 'Purple Rain' and it sounded like drums for Purple Rain | |

If we go by what the hits really means it would be: 1999 DMSR Little Red Corv Delirious How Come U Don't Call Me Erotic City When Doves Cry 17 Days America Pop Life I agree, mix it up more, I was going there but trying to shake up the idea of what can be played in substitution for 'his hits' Strollin, Digital Garden, Rainbow Children, Everywhere is a happy song, I really love his performances of Guitar, the Future (it was hot 2 hear Party Man, Irrisistable Bitch, Hot Thang, Lady Cab Driver) in recent shows I believe with his Minneapolis Sound & Lotus Flower rock flavored albums he should pull up more songs that plend well with these styles I would love to attend an all out Prince rock show | |
