Why doesn't Prince like to share?

I can't figure it out. Any theories? I mean...even down to trying to block folks from downloading his pics on is site? Sure, folks can still do screenshots - but the block on the page sorta reminds you that he doesn't give out anything for free...not even simple memories for folks of his shows... disbelief

So he blocks that, doesn't allow pics/recorders at concerts, and doesn't release them officially (99% of the time) of his shows either...Why?

Not allowing recordings at concerts is not exclusively a Prince thing.

It's a personal preference. It's neither right nor wrong, per se.

He likes to be in control and choose what people will get.
He wants to be the one who gives people his choice of downloads.
Seeing people download pictures of him and lyrics and music without the ability to control it is probably driving him crazy.

See now, Prince confuses the hell outta me! All of those who were at Wembley Stadium 10 years ago on July 31st will remember him saying "Next time bring a tape recorder... when it's over press save" 2 the fans.

So low and behold, 2 years later and WB aren't letting our man release TGE so I go 2 the opening date of the European tour, tape recorder proudly in hand safe in the knowledge that Prince wants me 2 recored the show... but NO! The beefy bouncer is like "We have specific instructions from Prince's management that no recording equipment is to be brought in here" Make up Ur mind Prince!! evil


And another thing... U don't have 2 be beautiful 2 be my girl? HOW MANY ugly ex girlfriends do U have running around with buckteeth yelling "I can't believe I fucked Prince!"

STOP LYING PRINCE!! stfu

No I have it on boot... he says word for word "Next time bring a tape recorder, when it's over press save"
However he was speaking lines from songs such as whats my name and race.

We'll probably enjoy more stuff from Prince when he's dead...then he will truly become a legendary artist...much like Amadeus!!!

You guys wanna check out someone who likes to share, there's this artist I'm getting into right now who's giving his music away free via his website. He's also going on tour pretty soon and playing piano bars just so that his fans could meet and see him close up. Check it out if you are interested - www.troycross.com - he's kinda an Elton John crossed with Lenny Kravitz type thing. I've seen him perform once before and he was amazing.

I don't know why Prince even takes the time and energy to worry about downloading pictures or bootlegs. I can understand why he wouldn't want recorders at his shows.

But he is a control freak,like everybody knows and says.
