The tag or whatever u call it in twatter still says Prince3eg, so not necessarily over. Still interested as to what the sophomore album they've trailed is like. Remember the vid of strings being added?

You can change your Twitter name without losing followers. He could drop "3EG" from the name and be none the worse.

If this was a Survivor edition of Prince World, I'd vote Josh off the island first. As much as I like Hanna's enthusiasm and she seems like a great person, she is an unpolished and uninspired drummer and vocalist, so she'd go next if it were my call. Donna and Ida could be retained for the next incarnation of the NPG. I do it think when 3redeyegirl is done, we'll see another senseless flushing of the current Twitter account and another loss of tens of thousands of followers, unfortunately.

he doesn't need another incarnation of NPG

it makes no sense since 1991

Just be Prince

It sounds like Prince, after exploring his rock side for a couple of years live, now wants to return to a funkier, less rock based live performance style. Maybe it was his experience with Judith. maybe the plan is to tour with her.

As for 3eG, I did hope for a sophomore project just to see if they could better capture their live sound and perhaps forget about Hannah singing most of the tracks.

3rdeyegirl are Prince's Tin Machine.

How about Prince & The Original 7ven. Or better yet, just Prince. He doesn't need to name his backing band. When people go to see him, they are going to see Prince. Not his band.

Yep just Prince now

Well, I don't say people just go to see him. Depending on the band people took in the whole scene. that is what Prince pushed from day one. Which is why his bands back then took on personnas and reflections of Prince. The 80s bands it worked. the 90s was kinda sloppy, the 2000s was hit or miss

I like Donna, but if Prince wants to go back to a funkier sound, Ida is the one to keep.

Prince & the Original7 wouldn't last 7 minutes. For the rest, U R correct. When I saw him in 2010 & 2011, his band was nameless and those were some of the best concerts.

. This is exactly why the NPG will live on - to confound fans everywhere. For as short of attention span he seems to often have, he's held on to the NPG name for decades.

For him, NPG is not a lineup anymore . . . it's a concept. It was only a lineup in the early/mid 90s.

3rdEyeGirl is a specific lineup of Hannah/Ida/Donna . . . to continue 3EG without those three girls doesn't make sense.

I dont care who the band is, and never have cared.

Prince is it for me. I dont care if he stands onstage and knits a sweater lololol

but theres already a 2nd 3rd eye girl record being made....

I just read an article the other day on Herbie Hancock.He's excited because he and his buddy Carlos Santana are getting ready to form a supergroup called SuperNova.There will be other legendary artists in the band,too.THIS is exactly what Prince should be doing!!! Put together a REAL BAND of truly talented,legendary musicians and get out there and do something extraordinary!!! He could potentially reach a whole new audience with a project like that.

Has Santana done anything of value in the past couple of decades?

.

These superbands often are pretty shite anyway, see https://en.wikipedia.org/...SuperHeavy for instance.
