I'm not the one telling people how they should or should not feel about Prince's music nor what they should or should not do with regards to it.

It's funny how that always seems to be the Fammy folks!

True that.

The fammy folks deserve their right to their opinion of any song too, even if the not-so-fammy have a problem with them liking it. Everyone is an individual, and if someone likes the song, they shouldn't be bashed for it, and for those that don't like a song, shouldn't be bashed as well. We're all a little guilty for going after either the fammy and not-so-fammy.

But you do have to admit that many that don't like a particular song, often go beyond criticizing the song, and will take it to bashing the artist on a personal level, to no end, like some obsessive, angry person with a whip and chain, and a bad chip on their shoulders.

I don't have a problem with constructive criticism, because there's always room for improvement, and besides, none of us have the same, exact tastes in music. We all pretty much know what type of music or a particular sound in the music we admire from an artist, that rings our bells. I can't say I liked every song my favorite artists have released. Even the most well-known and popular artists, don't always make a hit single/album, but it's not the end of the world when they don't.

I would think if any of these orgers have kids, and their kids didn't do well on a particular subject in school or a test, that they would not criticize them in a bashing, degrading way like I've seen here, but more or less, use constructive criticism that could help them improve.

To be fair I believe you are correct in this last statement.

We cannot bash people for making one sentence reviews of a song like "shit" "shite" "crap" "im going to listen to Strange Relationship now"

Immature no intelligable "reviews" like that need not to be used as a song review. it's so sad but it's the truth, it happens. I just wish those people would just not post at all. So if you are one of those people who cant intelligently comprehend an evaluation of music composition those need not to listen or apply...or people who came on here that has not liked anything in the past 10 years...just don't listen to it and you'll be better off.

I know if I dont like it I will state the reason WHY and not just look like a dumbass like half of you fools on here, yeah I said it, fuck all of you; you know who you are.

Hey folks - Just wanted to let you know that we posted a clip of the song on The Current's music blog.

Oh yes, that's real mature and intelligent! We should all be so eloquent!

The way people express their critics is a state of their intellect and intelligent.

Dumb people will react in a dumb way. They just don’t know how to find the correct words. They express themselves with they way the feel about a matter and think they have to react on every subject that come along.

The smart people have to coop with this in silence otherwise there will be endless discussions about nothing.

It is sad that a lot org comments are in a bashy way. I read them too but i just don’t react on every subject i disagree on.

The best reactions on a subject are the “none” reactions. Maybe the org must show us how many people are reading but not reacting on a subject. These are the people who really matters.

All 7 and we will watch them fall.....

It does sound interesting. I fear it's going to be political or dogma based, given the title, but I'm reserving judgment of course until we hear the whole thing.

Thx for the clip. Wow...when's the last time Prince really shredded the guitar like that on a record? 3 Chains O' Gold?

2elijah said:

Pretty loud and rambunctious sounding, Im pumped!

paisleypark4 said:

I'm glad you're enjoying it as much as I am. A taste of that clip has suddenly caused a pretty good effect around here. I didn't think I would have been able to hear it at work, but I was able to click on it.....I'm loving it big time!!!Thanks Prince, that's just the medicine we needed 'round here.

Holy smokes! for such a short clip it packs a lot punch! Im black & blue from listening to it

Yeah but you understood what I meant obviosuly, that's how you grab somebody attention..is that smart..or is that dumb? Correct or incorrect? Only so much reading one person can take before exploding on the forum. You came here with the name "Haterina.." and expected no one to say nothing to the posts you make along with joeylawson or whatever the hell the name is and then have the last nerve to try and defend yourselves...wanting attention and the need for belonging by bashing...I guess you are smart..because it worked, however remember the readers are too. So yes I guess you did make a name for yourself on here. I give YOU credit for evaluating most tunes you have by stating the REASON, however all you do is bring the dumbasses out with your posts..its THOSE people that need to get checked. Im just saying don't come here and not expect anyone to disagree with you either. Im expecting you to disagree with me right now.

Hey mods, how about making the thread a sticky, now that there's over 20,000 views on this thread and a tease clip of the song is now on here.

893TheCurrent said:

It's fantastic, thanks for posting here!

Ok, now I'm excited...

2elijah said:

I said the same thing, but I get the feeling that maybe a fresh thread will be created once the song debuts tomorrow.

this is going to be sweeeeet can't wait...

Well this thread is a top news item on the front page, so not sure it needs 2 be stickified. This thread should remain the thread 4 all discussion about the full song.

Sounds TERRIBLE.





I keeeed, I keeeeed!

those who are saying that he hasn't been playing such fierce guitar
in years; have they listened to "dreamer", "wall of berlin", "boom"
or even "colonized mind"?



the clip sounds cool, i wonder what the 'poppy chorus' will sounds
like. i'm thinking a cross between "guitar" and "colonized mind".

Giovanni777 said:

Well, we'll have to let the mods decide that, just throwing it out there, because tomorrow they'll probably be copycat threads.
