NPG is over? Do you think Prince disbanded the last incarnation of NPG ? In the last year he devided his funk and rock persona. But he embarked on a large scale tour\ with the 3rd Eye. I hope Npg is over,hated Shelby and 20 horn players | |

I wouldn't bet on it, as pop orientated as the latest Hit N Run shows were, for a full on funk show you need the big band. She Believed in Fairytales and Princes, He Believed the voices coming from his stereo

Let's wait and see with whom he performs at the essence festival. [Edited 5/26/14 12:18pm] | |

for a full funk you only need bass and drums,all other instruments are optional | |

Since Power Generations can't be new forever, Prince should have ended that band name back in 1997 when most of the NPG was gone. But Prince forever beats a dead horse sometimes. I would hope he ends both bands, and keeps the best of the best, and maybe Prince forbid, invites back some of the best from his past, and make one great band. | |

Hate is a strong word. Be careful it will consume you. Don't think NPG is over, they will be with him at Essence. He's just stretching his wings right now. He's got a lot on his plate. Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews. | |

I'm going to guess that 3EG won't last that long and the NPG will be back sooner or later. Just a hunch. | |

Prince and the Counter-Revolution? I wonder how the Revolution come-back will shape itself and how they will or won't try and tie the event to the PR remaster. A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ | |

Counter-Revolution, fDeluxe and The Original 7ven . . . so ridiculous that they had to resort to changing their names (collectively over a dozen artists) because of 1 man.

Technically he gave them the names in the first place, though. I'm convinced that besides A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ | |

I don't care whether the bands stay or go, just get rid of the name, it means nothing anymore Even to those who were in the NPG | |

I agree, the name totally is dated | |

Yup. It was a cool-sounding concept on Lovesexy, but the NPG song on GB killed it, for me. | |

Seeing how he owns the original band names, no it's not ridiculous. Prince could lease them if he wanted to-although that would devalue the brand he created. 99.9% of everything I say is strictly for my own entertainment | |

Go out on the street right this minute and ask 10 random people the names of Prince's bands or the names of any band members. Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

I agree,the whole NPG concept got really stale and should have been abandoned a long time ago. | |

I doubt it.. I think he'll bring Shelby and everyone else with him to NOLA for the Essence Fest.. Everybody stop on the 1...GOOD GOD! Uhh! | |

As a couple of other posts have said, it seems NPG will be at the Essence festival - in the interview with Elisa Fiorello over in the AA forum, she says she's going to be there with the other singers, which probably means the bigger NPG band too. | |

Ditto Shelby J posted on her FB page something like see you soon with the NPG at the Essence festival. ...every night another symphony... | |

I'm glad. I never thought I'd say this, but I kinda miss the horns.. Everybody stop on the 1...GOOD GOD! Uhh! | |

I hope Npg is over,hated Shelby and 20 horn players What makes you think he would get rid of the other half of his band just because he is currently touring with a few of his band members? ![]() [Edited 6/4/14 8:16am] | |

That's actually a sad admission.
At one time they did | |

Yeah it made sense when it was the Lovesexy era "New Power beat..." it made sense with them and that period, but after that it really never made sense to me. . He can really just be Prince no, or at least create a name that encompasses any configuration of bands/members . Like when Larry Graham and Chaka Khan were performing with him, they weren't really NPG they were Larry Graham & Chaka Khan . or in 2007 when Sheila E & Wendy were at those 3 shows, a term that would work without redefining anyone, if he wants a band name. | |

Most people dont even know Prince is still singing much less who his band members are. | |

U guys/gals R making me sad 4 Prince | |

He needs both bands. I doubt he'll disband either of them as 3EG is extremely popular in europe and NPG probably goes over much better with his urban audiences in the US. Change it one more time.. | |

Prince dont need big girl voices.1978-1986 period he was at his funkiest.Prince would add NPG for this tour but they are over. | |
