Damn.. Trent Reznor has gotten very arrogant. Check out this quote from here: http://www.twentyfourbit....vers-cuomo

"I’m not Prince or Rivers Cuomo who brags about having hundreds of great songs,” Reznor said. “And to that I would say, Prince, if you have a hundred great songs or a thousand, how about picking a few and putting them on your record that you’ve put out because your last several have sucked. Same for you, Rivers. I say that constructively, you know.”

Lol.....he is right after all. He is NOT Prince.

damn Trent.... y so harsh. And i was just tellin my close friend that Trent and Prince are my fav. artists

I'd have to agree somewhat, putting your money where your mouth is per say. Prince's last three albums have be 'o.k', nothing ground breaking or inventive.
So he has a solid point, whats more bothersome is the practice of how Prince's albums can be obtained. Joining NPGMC - Lotusflow3r, at $100.00 and $77.00 for $177.00 Prince most dedicated fans got screwed, alienating his most dedicated followers. To date LotusFlow3r.com has been a disaster.....$77.00 for an album and t-shirt.

Prince ,to me,lives for longevity. He's become quite the miser with his vault.
(mplsound is hardly worthy of neglecting his quality of wealth in there)

Lotusflower is a great collection. But shame on Trent for slammin Prince.

You act as if joining Lotusflow3r.com was the only way to purchase the album. I was always taught that when it comes to leisure items, never pay an amount that you can't afford to give away. I purchased the album at Target, and I have been jammin' Lotus and MPLS since I got them. I didn't join Lotusflow3r.com because I didn't and don't have $77.00 of disposable income. Prince has had a couple of cites before. You should have known what to expect. That being said, when I do get $77.00 of disposable income I will join. But, you can't purchase a pet rock and then get upset if it doesn't play fetch, roll over, or guard the house. It is a pet rock, ya know.

As for Trent Reznor slammin' Prince, "Plaaaeeese!!!" That no talent hack of b.s. sensationalism wouldn't know a good song if it kicked him in his pie hole. I'm so tired of all of these lame ass wanna be rockers who ain't even qualified to perm Jimi's hair and put on Little Richard's make-up and Pro Tool rappers who can't find middle C tryin' to cook in the kitchen and ain't got no grease. I say that constructively, ya know???

I love Trent Reznor!

He's right. Prince has an arsenal of great material that could keep him in purple silkies until he dies, and never have to record another note. I remember him on Larry King w/ that other Larry, and he said he released Crystal Ball because he wanted to "clean up" the bootleg market a bit. Son....grab a broom, and get to cleanin' some more!

To bad Prince will never listen

awww Trent is envious because Prince doesnt have to consistently giveaway free music , be active on Twitter or conduct corny April fools joke for his fans to like him. The last albums havent sucked, no matter what quality of music is in anyones opinion, it will always sell point blank.

let the games begin

Trent once said he wanted to make a Prince album and he really should commit to that and put some fire underneath Princeypoos balls

...and THERE it is, and there we have it. Words of wisdom.

I think Princes bragging about the vault was just a way of building up his mystic, no less no more. Sure he has some unreleased music, most artists do. But I think the majority of quality trax have already surfaced. The bulk of what's in there probably doesn't amount to more than jam sessions.

crushingquiet said:

Sounds like ole Trent has been lurking and has pinched 'constructive critique tips' from some of the more vocal Org members who big him up everyother post...

"I say that constructively, you know.”

By just saying that something sucks doesn't sound very constructive to me.

There it is in a nutshell.

When did Prince ever "brag" about having hundreds of "great" songs? I've heard more talk about the vault from the media and insiders than I ever have from Prince. As far as Trent saying that Prince's last several records have sucked, That's all relative and his opinion. NIN ain't all that. I only liked one song of his and that was years ago. That's my opinion.

BeyondSpace said:

Also when Prince said he liked constructive critism, he also said he liked it from smart people

Just another opinion. One that Prince will probably ignore, if he even sees it.

That wouldn't suprise me!

bitter, envious child.

cream72 said:

And out of love, not just to call him a punk (otherwise it's not constructive).

rwn said:

Seems not many people are paying attention 2 Trent these days unless he is slamming Prince.

Graycap23 said:

Trent has his own fans who seem to be happier with his web activity than fams are of Prince's.

.....I have all of Trent's recent material and honestly, I have only played it once. Very weak material IMHO.
