npg over?

Sorry if this has been discussed already....

Is 3rd eye girl the new band name? (no more npg)

Or, do you think this is a band he is supporting temporarily?

Thats a perfect name for this outfit..and if he changes bands later down the line give that band a new name etc etc...THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT NPG...

its three women..thirdeye girl is a fitting name (dont get on me about the girl portion, you know what I mean) which represents and respects their skills as a band

he dodnt call Sonny and Bland NPG..he called it that Trio

A bit? TWENTYFIVE YEARS. It's time to move on. They were the new power generation, sick and tired of old ideas and stuff.... Now it has become an old idea itself. As an artist he should be creative enough to invent a new name.

Wish he'd retire that name. It's corny as fuck and there isn't a consistent lineup for more than 2 weeks at a time.

Would like if he changed it to Prince and the MPLSound.

just like The revelution ended, NPG has to end to give birth to something new.

MPL sound - that sound good - much nicer and more appropriate to him now.

NPG does belong to another era and does sound silly for this era - younger people would wonder what that was all about?

Thank you Prince for every note you left behind 💜

Remember the rumors of 10,000 and people wanting a new band names many moons ago. I like the NPG moniker but it is dated.

What are you outraged about today? CNN has not told you yet?

Is this high school? "Ooh the cool kids don't like your band name..." lol

Yeah the name is dated but there really isn't a cool name available that would flow with his "Prince & the ?????"

NPG is so old and lame now. He needs a new band name especially since most people say they dont like the NPG. He needs to continue with something new and fresh

I still gotta give credit to someone I can't remember...

the best band name on a band name thread was

"Prince And A Bunch of People Who Will Be Fired Before The Next Album Comes Out."

probably too long, but when a revolution reunion was mentioned, Prince said that "Revolutions only happen 1ce."

Somebody else posted "Power Generations Can't Be New Forever."

I am done with the band name. It got way corny on the Gold Album at the end of the song Gold.
"You've Just become an official member of the New Power Generation." "Your NPG Lunchbox and Membership Card will be in the mail soon."

Ok, I made the last part up. Even Sting probably thought the NPG Operator was corny, and despite all his intellectual powers, Sting is one Corny Mo Fo.

i don't really care what he calls his band. just hire some hot ones or semi-talented ones that pick up your slack, my good man guitar batting eyes. let 'em sing, so i can go to the bathroom, but do the same yourself doe-eye, so i don't feel too bad for them yawn.

For all time I am with you, you are with me.

Prince should change his name to PRINCE LLC & ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Let's be honest, that would get the message to everyone in downloading distance. lol

No I did not say they would not LIKE the band name - I said they would wonder what "New Power Generation" (NPG) was all about - it sounds so dated and not relevant to now. Maybe they would say "what the hell is new power generation???????".

I dont think he really needs to name the band anyway - that in itself is old fashioned.

Just Prince is enough - most artists do not name their bands.

Would make it easier in Prince's case seeing he switches members all the time?

Thank you Prince for every note you left behind 💜

He's been using it since 88'! Haha

I don't think he needs a new name..It's cool I MEAN NPG, it has already stayed with us this long. AND the fact of the matter is, PRINCE IS THE NPG, we just call him Prince. lol

It's Button Therapy, Baby!
