More reminders of how great Prince used to be? No thanks. Watch the old footage and smile.

you mean watch it and cry?

That works too.

I just smile at how great Prince once was, and then I turn on other music by artists who have still got it.

$100,000,000.00 or Hell freezing over and since I've seen Hell freeze over...

If hell froze over Prince would sit ontop of his vault, tossing reels into the fire as we all watch
all while giving you that smile

I dont see it happening but,

I'd Love to see W&L & Prince writing & recording again..

I hope this NEVER happens. That was aparticular place and time and all that could happen is unflattering compariosons to the past. Prince will never allow himslef to be a nostalgia act and I'm grateful for that!

Please allow Prince to move on, and FOWARD. He's trying. We need to let him move FORWARD.

That means embracing new production, embracing menatoring new bands, and embracing new strategies social and otherwise.

I'll never stop wanting this to happen, but it seems that the Prince Wendy/Lisa camp needs some serious interpersonal rehabilitation. I think all parties feel really disrespecred by each other.

Somebody finally gets it! Prince likes the challenge of playing with different musicians and changing his band every few years. It's one thing for Prince to play the hits for audiences that want to hear his most well known songs but to reunite The Revolution simply to satisfy folks nostalgic cravings for Prince and The Revolution to play and sing like they did 30 years ago would be beyond lame.

Where did you get that thought from?

I don't think the Revolution members have any issues with each other

and Prince and Bobby Z talk and actually hang out, there were together at Paisley Park just a few months ago

Some I know who knows Lisa & Wendy told me Prince in the last few years have visited at their studio

etc

it happend and it seems no one cared in 2005...whereas peole on here crap all over planet earth when they shouldnt have

They were great in the day, but that was then, this is now. 3rdeyegirl were great live this year. I would prefer him to keep moving. Besides, I think its more about live song choices, rather than the band that play them.

What 'special something' would they add or bring to the recrding? Why or how would their presence make the recording good or better?

Substantive lyrics.

Yup...cuz everyone is always talking about their substantive lyrics. They were all over the Hero's score. Also....no lie....there's substance in Prince's lyrics still. [Edited 12/11/14 17:09pm]

I thought we were talking about The Revolution, not just Lisa and Wendy and in that aspect I'm damn sure they'd have had the courage and the ability to collectively convince his majesty that "Oh no he didn't" lacked substance.

3rdEyeGirl sucks compared to the Revolution.A year from now,when Prince gets bored of 3rdEyeGirl and discards them,no one will even be talking about them anymore.But notice that,30 years after Purple Rain, fans are still talking about the Revolution.

No, people still talk about the music Prince created in the 83/86 period, but not the revolution as a live band.

People won't talk fondly about 3EG in years ahead, but I've seen both bands live many times in big and small venues and 3EG were the tighter band.

Drums? Probably a draw. Both are average.

Bass, Ida is in a different league to Brown Mark.

Guitar. Donna leaves Wendy standing.

I loved the Revolution shows, but it was never because of their musical prowess, but because the hottest act on the planet was doing his thing.

1.21 gigawatts.

7 billion dollars~ mmoohahaha~

money wouldnt make him do it...maybe a creative spark

Simple solution. Have D'angelo as the lead singer for The Revolution. Since everybody is saying D'angelo "out-Princed" Prince on his new album, I'm sure D would do it for a 5 piece from KFC, bootleg of Prince demos from high school and a gram of coke.
