i have the solution.. ya'll dont put your energy into the distraction... look at it... giggle shake your head at him and move on. just my 2 cents

if Prince can't read music...who writes the scores for candy...renato...maceo et al.

IT is well known they use sheet music,

and saying Prince can't read music is a load of crap.

he had extensive piano lessons in high school, and played in his school marching band.

ARE U SERIOUSLY SUGGESTING THEN WHEN HE SAID HE COULDN'T HE MEANT IT???

he talks crap all the time.

if you do some reading into his highschool music "career", you'll find that he MUST have been able to read music.


foolish chronic.

and wouldn't know a quarter note??

listen to some of the soundchecks...when prince grills the band he knows what he is talking about.

Is this guy sick or stupid? Seems to be both. I never knew how many fuctional (able to type) nut jobs there were till i started visiting this site. This guy is just so pathetic. The worst part is he doesn't realize it. So so sad.

There is sheet music in Purple Rain and Graffiti Bridge. Both have clips of Prince reading Music. If you look close in G.B. has Prince flipping through some sheet music and you can see Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic

thechronic's punk behind claims to have taken Prince at the New Orleans soundcheck.

oookkk

sorry son, I was there . . . and to be fair, you did an alright lick or two on Bambi - you got great garage band potential, and I bet you even sing well in the shower, but make no mistake, Prince killed you when you took the little symbol guitar back. As a matter of fact, I remember him almost picking up the tele, but then he flipped it and said that wouldn't be fair. He played that weak toned symbol guiter all up in your face. your just mad at how smooth he mocked you . . . had all the npcmusicclub laughing at your punk ass. And then, aw lawd . . he flipped bambi into the Ride . . . If anything, Prince punked you like the bitch you are. I'm sure you would have loved to have waxed his ass, maybe do his hair to0 . . do you do nails, I bet you do great nails and hair . . do you trim pubic hair?

I believe Prince said he doesn't read music (chooses not to). I remember him saying something like...

"Something as free as music should have no rules or restrictions, it should be expressed and felt, not mathematically constricted."

Something like that...

as for TheChronic, sounds like someone needs some attention. There have been many famous musicians that can't read a note. They may know what each note means, the beat, rhythm and time signature. But some, actually quite a few started with just their ear, and report playing that way to be more creative and from the heart.

Especially considering most famous jazz musicians grow up poor in the South. If they had school, there wasn't much money for a music program.

Chronic,you're truely engulfed in yourself (self absorbed), why not take your dislikement for Prince elsewhere. Perhaps Quincy Jones or Wynton Marsalis has a website you could visit. That way you'd be assured that the site you're visiting is dedicated to a valid musician. other than that, it doesn't make much sense for you to be here...

jus trying to help

Oh Boy! He can't read music huh Chronic! Sounds like he can read frets. Bitterness is funny!

yall in doubt he told me in my ear i was better than him at the soundcheck

...and you took that comment and ran with it, huh?

Sometimes people hear only what they want to hear...

think about it

Such contradiction...
You say this and all kinds of other nonsense, yet you pay to belong to club, you went to see him in New Orleans and you posted all sorts of msgs about going to the 2002 celebration.

Wonder why so many fans post so much nonsense. All the negative energy that exists in the world...why contribute to it? I am not just talking about taking shots at Prince, his beliefs, his music...but all the nonsense on here. Yeah, I know we are all free to write whatever we want...but why so much negativity?

I singled this msg out because you are one of the top individuals posting negativity, just as Sensual Melody is one of top posters of positive messages.

Namaste!

the chronic needs cholonic...

thechronic said:

OH YOU WISH!!! Send me a sound clip... or hey ALL of us one so we can honestly judge that.

thechronic said:

You secretly wish you could be him...don't you? You sound like a jealous playa-hater to me...always bashing Prince and trying to put him down...your antics really don't impress me. It just shows how sad it is to be you. A good therapist could help you work through that. In the meantime...stop clogging the board with your garbage, it's not amusing.

Thank You
