Hate To Say it......

But I couldn't care less about 3rdEyeGirl. If Prince wasn't involved with them, they wouldn't even register to me @ all. I have nothing against them whatsoever, I'm just not really into them. Does anybody else feel this way? Why does Prince do this crap? I wish Prince would link up with a Flying Lotus, or someone like that, that would actually stretch his sound out far beyond what he's been doing recently.....but I forgot, it's "Real music by real musicians".... rolleyes ....GTFOH.

Uh, no. I didn't say that they suck. I actually find them talented. But what Prince has done with them is not all that impressive to me. It's standard fare, imo. You can't tell me there's anything mind-blowing going on on any of those songs [but I'm sure many Prince worshipers will think any guitar solo is the greatest thing ever lol ]. They're okay songs, & that's it [albeit, slightly boring too]. Nothing Prince is doing musically is great right now @ all, besides a friggin' guitar playing [to a degree]. I wish he would work with others who are pushing the envelope. It's just my own selfish opinion, honestly. lol I don't expect anyone to agree with me, but hey, I'm doing my part to keep the topics coming. lol

I think the problem I have is that they sound like studio musicans "fire hire"


Fixurlifeup, live out loud, etc. sound like they are part of a movie soundtrack ala the 80s.
Sort of like throwaways from Footloose or Vision Quest.

The first two, yes and the problem is I don't like 'em enough to want to hear the other two! Especially if it involves a search on the internet when I really want to go out and keep the record shops in business! I agree with tittypants, P's new music is not bad, but not great either.

you could substitute 3rd eye girl

with the revolution/NPG/family/time

I feel the same way! I look at 3rdEyeGirl as just another temporary Prince project that he will spend a little time on,before he gets bored and moves on to the next thing.Based on what I have heard so far,I don't think that anything amazing is gonna happen with this project.

I agree with the OP in that I am also not enthralled by 3EG and don't get the fuss about them. I am interested in Prince and to me his band(s) are an extension of him, they play his music, he is their band leader who tells them what to do and band members come and go. IMO he influences them more than they influence him.

I am excited about Prince though. This year he has been quite prolific with different band configurations, small club shows and he has put out a lot of great jams and songs via so many different channels which forces you to pay attention if you want to catch the music.

I very much enjoy tracks like Aint gonna miss u and Menstrual cycle.

I agree totally. It's just...meh. He seems really impressed with these ladies. While they have some talent, I'm not. It reminds me of Tommy Barbarella. I never understood him. Maybe P is trying to recapture the Purple Rain mediocre musician fire. Although Dr. Fink was the man.

I had a similar thought this week..but it's not 3rdeye. I'm just tired of the cat and mouse games. New website every other month, live streams with little announcement, singles drop and if you aren't on the org how would you know. I'm cool with the music, I support the dude because I think he's earned my coin with the consistent output and other worldly shows. But I just don't have the time for the mind games. It's almost like he took the Hit N Run concert concept and applied it to the web and marketing. If you are in business selling widgets, whatever they may be, shouldnt you make it easy for the widget buyers to access your goods? Not feeling it at all.

Big distraction from an otherwise good era for P.

I haven't weighed in on the many threads about them, because I really don't get the extreme love for them...

After the first few songs, I stopped rushing to hear the output.

I haven't heard any of the streamed stuff.

I doubt that I'd go see them if they were to come to NYC.

It's summer. I'm a teacher. My funds are limited.

They haven't grabbed me enough to overextend myself or borrow money.
And I'm not doing GA for them. hmph!


Just take my "Fan Card". redface lol

The weakest link in the revolution was Bobby Z..

Brownmark was funky-

I don't think that there's really that much love for them...

They are Prince's latest "thing" so, the light is shining on them..

like bria, andy, tamar, ect... 5 mins after he's done with this project they'll

be in the pile with all the rest..

Some of the live versions kick ass-just saying. Fix your life up extended live version was very cool.

I think his recorded versions lately lack energy IMO.

We don't need a disclaimer before you say something stupid. This is a great period in Prince's career and he's having fun. One mic, 3 girls and him proove he doesn't need a 22 piece band to sound good. It's his cataloug he's trying to fill and I love it.

rolleyes Why must racism be used as an example? lol Why am I stupid for having my own opinion? Did I say you were stupid for liking them? No. I haven't called anyone here stupid for liking their music. But, because YOU love it, you have to go the snarky route about things. lol disbelief


& it's nice that Prince is having fun. Good for him. I'm just not having much fun with him. neutral

Great post and so true.

Without the org, how the fark would you/anyone know about any of these new tunes.

Goes to show how much interest there is out there.

The risk with a thread title like this is that it becomes a hate fest, and I hope this is not the case here. I think it is incorrect and disrespectful to say that 3EG is crap. They are pro musicians and Prince wouldn't waste his time with subpar players. There is a big pool of musos out there.

You are right, Prince doesn't need a large band to sound great, and he is having fun. He has had fun before though and has done the small band thing before also, just didn't give them a name and marketing, e.g. with Renato Neto, Rhonda Smith and John Blackwell at Montreux.

In my case I don't get the big deal about the 3EG and at the same time I enjoy the music very much.

Could care less = you care a lot and thus could care less.

Couldn't care less = You care very little and couldn't care any less.

Not to be a grammar Nazi, but this is one of those modern mis-uses that irks me! razz

On topic - I can't say I'm all that bothered about the whole project either, but it's cool that he's active and trying new things again. The fact that it doesn't turn me on that much is neither here nor there.

The OP isn't saying "something stupid".He's saying what alot of us are feeling.

"This is a great period in Prince's career"

Enjoy it while you can,because these girls and this project will be forgotten/discarded by the end of the year wink Just watch.
