BartVanHemelen said: Mindflux said: Don't expect facts and logic
Let's see: some fam claims Prince releases an album every year, I point out some years he didn't, and then someone else points that Prince released a SINGLE in some of those years and it's supposed to disprove me? Mindflux said: This thread is ridiculous though - Prince is one of the most prolific artists of his generation. He's up there with legends like Zappa in terms of output
Oh please, there are plenty of artists who've released way more. So, we can add the fact that you don't possess the humility to admit when you are wrong either! And, sure, there are artists who have released many more records than Prince, but they're not in the majority, you dolt!! In fact, a clear majority of recording artists never get in to double-figures with original album releases. Its a rare breed that get in to the sorts of figures that Prince, Zappa and some others have acheived. And, should we get as pedantic as you like to be, I did also say "one of the most prolific artists OF HIS GENERATION" - not of all time. You could give me a handful of his contemporaries who have been as prolific or even moreso, but as a percentage of all the artists who release music, it would be way less than 1% which puts them in a special category in terms of productivity. ...we have only scratched the surface of what the mind can do...

BartVanHemelen said: HonestMan13 said: I agree. What's "good" 2 U may not be "good" 2 me. Prince is hardly sitting in the studio saying "this sounds like crap let's make it the title track for the next album!".
So why then is he NOT PLAYING SONGS from the records he's released in ooooh... the past 15 years? How many of them has he toured? How many of the songs on those albums have been played REGULARLY? Hell, most of the stuff he's released in the past 10 years or so has barely been played more than handful of times. I wonder why... because PRINCE KNOWS IT SUCKS? Now compare to SOTT, which Prince started touring BEFORE it was released with a show that was 80% ALL NEW SONGS. Go figure that: Prince touring an album and ACTUALLY PLAYING SONGS from said album. Two things he hasn't done in a loooong time. And before anyone mentions TRC: how "brave" was it that he was playing SMALL rooms, and even then the amount of TRC tracks quickly decreased, and by the time the tour reached Europe it was again mainly hits. On the ONA live tour, he played a lot from TRC live (as you somehow indicated). On the corresponding live album, there are versions of TRC (title track), Muse 2 the pharao, 1+1+1=3, Family name, Everlasting now. The notion that he only did it in small venues and outside of Europe is simply nonsense. I attended the concert in Hamburg, CCH Saal 1 (that's not exactly small), and he played a lot of the TRC stuff there as well. In fact, it was so much that there was a debate in the press the day after the concert why he played so much strange recent songs and not his standard hits. I was coincidentally interviewed by a radio reporter regarding my opinion of the show and was asked what I thought about this huge amount of recent stuff unknown to many people in the audience. And now you come up with this hypothesis... During his O2 concerts, he played some of the Planet Earth album. In the show I attended, that was Planet Earth (title track), Guitar and I think Chelsea Rodgers (I might be wrong on this). It's fine that you think his output of the last 15 years is bullshit. But you used to be someone who tended to operate with facts. Now you start to make things up or employ arbitrary definitions (see the album discussion), which surely does not strengthen your position.  | |

... when it comes to fans in the states, the longer he doesn't tour the more heightened the anticipation is for when he finally does do something. [Edited 10/2/09 12:37pm] Peace ... & Stay Funky ...
