For one,we all know Wendy & Lisa was big help to the Revolution sound.But I somehow feel Prince wanted to do the work by hiself.That's proabaly why Dream Factory never came out. Because in the NPG he really did all the work by hiself,when it comes to contributing.

What's your reason/opinion the Revolution broke up?

[b] well i heard some things how the band was having issues with Prince according to Wikipedia and some book

I have no idea, but you'd probably get alot of different answers if you asked everyone involved.

It's said there are three sides to every story. Your side, my side and then the truth.

TheKing662 said:

Main reason why |Revolution broke up is prince is a t**t. likes all his own way. but then when you try and fix something thats not broke we ended up with the new power generation which included tony M. and tommy B looking more gay than prince.

im glad they did break up cuz prince has explored so much since then changed his line up many times and reuse the good and all a real musicican should do that keep it fresh. i love how michael b and sonny t became a group within the group. revolution was good but prince did sooo much more musically after everybody just sucked the revlotion balls but no matter what prince was singed 2 warner as a solo artist wit no need of a band so they got lucky prince didnt need them then or now

They broke up because it was TIME.
Simple as that.

I couldn't WAIT to read this thread.... profound, profound discoveries...

Oh, have you read any of the biographies King662? There's quite a lot of good info in them!

...U are determining that 4 Prince? It was HIS band.....
[Edited 8/3/09 8:41am]

The band was headed down a bad path internaly....Prince broke it off before
it got 2 that breaking point....imo

TheKing662 said:

Actually, the only period Prince opened himself up to collaborating with his band (The Revolution) was from 85-86....

It's not like they were the Rolling Stones...lol...It was still Prince's show....

kaptainkrunk said:

well done - that's the stupidest thing I've read on here this week so far.

I've heard it say that Miles Davis told Prince 2 create a new (better) band.

Their collaboration ran its course and it was time for Prince to move on.
Prince may not have been as friendly about it as he could have been but that's the biz. Every member of the Revolution's career benefited because of him.

TheKing662 said:

There were more bands between the Revolution and the NPG. Besides Eric Leeds, Atlanta Bliss, Miko Weaver (and Greg Brooks and Wally Safford) stayed after the Revolution disbanded. And Prince asked Brownmark to stay. So I don't think your theory is valid

Do we really have to beat this topic up again?

TheKing662 said:

They broke up becuz Prince got tired of looking at Wendy becuz she reminded him of her twin sister Sussanah Melvoin. After they broke off there love affair

Graycap23 said:

Nope, historic facts He isn't the only one who(hasn't) talked about it, from Alan Leeds Eric Leeds and other band members, down to his apology letter 2 Lisa C & Wendy in the song In This Bed I Scream

KCOOLMUZIQ said:

Actually Lisa & Wendy were gone and months later Susannah left, she left after she recorded extra music for SOTT like Play In the Sunshine ...I don't know when they did Rock Hard In a Funky place but she is background on that one too

ranchero4vida said:

I read something like that too, but that was just a smoke screen
Especially since the band he had since 4U was basically the same band he had up to Dream Factory

Andre Cymone left on his own,
then right around the same time Gayle left

Bobby Z was with him since 76
Andre since the beginning
Dr Fink since For U
Brown Mark since Prince/Dirty Mind
Dez since For U
Lisa Coleman since Prince/Dirty Mind

the band never 'changed' the dynamic was the same
Dr Fink stayed and Prince also wanted BrownMark to stay ...Levi was last resort

Wendy & Lisa were dismissed because of emotional/personal/business conflict with Prince

It was after the Lovesexy era that the bands changed up regularly, but a big part of that was because the musicians were in for the long haul
