I'm with Prince on this one. Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain. |

It is both rehash. Just for P doing SOS band material is more fresh than him doing his own stuff over and over again. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

If he did Sign of the Times by the Belle Stars, at least that would be funny!  | |

Apologies to OP if you're not a native English speaker, but I don't understand what you're talking about in this thread. Is there any way you could re-word it? And what's an SOS band? | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
My native language is Dutch. If you don't understand: what do you not understand? I compare P doing his very same stuff each time with P doing something else (e.g. not his own works but those form the SOS band). It is not that complicated.

^ I do not understand the headline... Prince 4Ever.  | |

Yes, I was drunk and now I cannot edit the headline anymore. Sorry. Did you stop there or can we have a session in insightfulness now? Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

I love SOS Band, but.... huh? | |

But what? Some SOS band even has Jam and Lewis all over the songs. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

Udo, are you still drunk or have a hangover? People around here are asking you to better articulate your thoughts so they can give you insightful answers. So rephrase your question(s) and ask them again. I would love to respond once you do. I am sure others will as well. Otherwise your thread will die a slow tortuous death. | |

What is so hard to understand baout that one?
He can do it. But he won't.
Same here.
Yet I am right about the idea in general, not just the specifics.
P repeating himself is boring versus him doing something different is more likely to be not so boring. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

I think this thread needs an SOS. "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

Is it about music or Prince? If P does the music it should be good.

That depends. If I had paid £70 last year to see him in Birmingham and he'd only played songs by a band I'd never heard of, I'd have been pretty pissed off. On the other hand, if it was at a small venue and billed as an SOS Band tribute concert, I might well be more inclined to approach it with an open mind. In reality though, if Prince wanted to do something different, he'd play and promote his new music. That he doesn't seems to indicate that he lacks either faith or interest in his current work, but I'd prefer to see 'This Could Be Us' live rather than yet another rendition of 'Purple Rain'. | |

Do you want to hear the old songs again and again and again? Sampler sets? P is (becoming) a nostalgia act, depending on where you draw the line. If ever I do a tour again it could be for the aftershows alone.
Sick? Because you want to hear the old songs again and again and again? That is not innovative, not different, not fresh.
Same as him and Larry doing Stone and the family Sly songs?
Your idea but then you should cope with whatever P serves you. I don't like to wait half a show for a gem of some sorts, hear the mini-medleys, certain songs back to back years in a row, don't want to cope with a sampler set. If he really means music then play a 1:45 hour show, including encore, with high speed, high energy songs and not waste time with 'too many hits' brabbling. Yes he can do old songs, but just not the one we alwayys here, no 'slow' versions of old songs, etc, etc. He has to keep it fresh and no-nonsense. Music. . But he has veered far from that path. It is unlikely he will recover, regain his composition, get into proper shape. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill...

^ ok... lets disagree then. Cool. Prince 4Ever. | |

Prince will end up like The Rolling Stones: pumping out their old hits time after time and...enjoying every minute of it! I just watched the Stones concert at Hyde Park from last year. It was old, stale, predictable, but...it worked. By the time they closed with Satisfaction, I couldn't help thinking, yes, these guys are the greatest rock & roll band on the planet. What a legacy. Same with Prince. It is as if he only playes for people who see him for the first time. They want Purple Rain and 1999. Old folks like Udo and yours truly will just have to find some other bands to go and see. | |

He could perform one album in its entirety. That would be a nice change. |

. Let's start with his most recent one then. I'll pay extra for Emancipation. But it won't happen.......... Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

Yes that would be great A number of bands are doing that these days Sign O The Times and Purple Rain in full on the same night would be good | |

Kate Bush did that last year (Hounds of Love/Aerial) , but at least she built a whole theatre show around it with actors, costumes, stage sets and the likes. If it is only a band playing an album note for note... No, thanx. | |

Then what to say about the song pairs that persist for a few tours? The songs may be played in a great manner but still it is a bit of a let down. I'm just searching for some freshness to the concept of a Prince concert. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill...

He would me be more innovative .

Do you mean:He would be more innovative? I'll correct it 4 U
