Is it time for a new Band name?

Is it time for a new band name?

Do you think "New Power Generation" is way played out?

He's been using that since early 90's.

Time for a change in my opinion.

New Kids On The Block never changed their name, and they're neither new nor kids. lol

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

It was time for a new band name in 1992.

This is PRINCE we're talking about. New Kids On The Block were an actual GROUP. lol

Anyways Prince been stalling since 1996. There IS no New Power Generation. It's only in name. The REAL NPG left YEARS ago (Michael Bland, Tommy Barbarella, Tony M, Levi Seacer, Mayte, etc.).

New Band name? IDK, maybe. I more worried about new band members coming along than a new band name. But I think a makeover of the band and their name could definately do him some good!!

Prince is GORGEOUS. I'm inspired. GOD is GREAT. Is there anything else to say? lol

Yes! Really, the name NPG should have been retired after 1996.

1997-2000 was a transition time with people coming in & out of the fold, so a band name wouldn't have made much sense.

The 2001 - 2004 band should have had its own name, IMHO. JB, Rhonda & Renato were a distinct unit.

During 2005 - 2011, there's been a lot of people coming in & out again, so again a band name wouldn't make much sense (but that doesn't mean that NPG should still be used).

I'd love it if a new group coalesces and a new band name is introduced.

Since Prince loves doing everything backwards, we'll just call it Graham-Provoked Noise.

It's probably also the most current I have seen Prince be in 16 years.
