Those of you "not convinced" or saying NO WAY are assigning intent, and you can't do that. Not in judge Judy's courtroom and not in mine.

Prince without make up, wasn't all that either....

Oh, you just crossed the line. LOL... In all honesty though, defending the Revolution by slamming Prince's looks.. kind of silly. Just as silly as caring what his bands looked like. I would argue that later day Prince would have looked better without makeup. Let me explain..he would older and more wrinkly but I think the aging skin can start looking bad when you pack makeup all over it. The non-makeup pictures I have seen of Prince were ruggedly handsome.

Oh yeah and Larry Graham and so many of the NPG member were so great looking

Have a look at Sonny T Michael Bland and other. Seriously. It seems U might be stuck in 1984. Prince without make up, wasn't all that either. And I was one that supported Prince growing older as we all do and will. I never slammed him or tried to say he was bald and wearing a wig etc, but on the opposite side there were too many people saying 'He doesn't age, he looks just as young as he did in such in such year. Which was not fair to Prince, which made him photoshop and add more make up.

Not sure why some fans bring up the age issue.It's completely irrelevent.I think it's a wonderful thing to see "older" musicians onstage,showing the youngsters how it's supposed to be done.Calling the Revolution members "old" is a cheap shot.Prince was old,too.Surrounding himself with young females onstage didn't actually make him any younger.

The reality is that The Revolution were older and some of them didn't have the chops that some of his current/recent band members had.

Then you all don't understand Prince

I can show you timelines from 1982-2010 of stuff he had prepared and ready to do, that because of 'time limits' did not happen

He's had periods where he had 3-5 different projects ready to go

No Ida got it because she was a girl and he wanted an all girl band.

apparently u dont understand and didnt listen to the words coming out of prince mouth when he repeatedly said he didnt wanna go back he was all about living in the now and going forward.fact of the mattter is now prince is gone they can all come out and say prince spoke to me about this that or whatever he not here to confirm or deny nothing a person can say now.

Think this may have been on the cards not only with Revolution, didnt he reach out to a few before his death, Morris, Dez, etc..

I think that if Prince really wanted to reunite the Revolution, he had THREE DECADES to do so. Thus, I'm not buying into all the wishful thinking.

BTW: I never suggested that Prince and Andy Allo had a "life long love affair." What I did is quote Andy's own assertion that they "shared a great love." Those were her words. Y'all can try to wipe out that relationship through censorship and deletion of threads, but its existence is undeniable...in his final years. His studio albums and live performances of his last years are a living testament that can never be erased. He and Andy were clearly in love.

HatrinaHaterwitz said:

As much as I've begged and pleaded for that to happen. I so didn't need to know NOW that he was actually considering it.

Yeah, the same Prince that said he didn't fire Jimmy & Terry

cbarnes3121, Prince went back more than people want to acknowledge

I'll say it again:

Right the ageism thing is tired. The same people saying Prince was too old to sing Head or some other songs. I remember when Lionel Ritchie did a piece of Head a few years back at the Essence Music Festival people went crazy. And he was older than Prince.

Backstage at like one of the first 3EG shows, Prince himself banged his cane on the ground and said he "didn't have time for old people" LOL. (Which I thought was kinda funny) Anybody can come out of the woodworks now and say anything. All in all, I personally could've did without seeing it. Yes they could've played stuff past 86 but I doubt they would. The revolution could not do Housequake or Days of Wild or even SHHH...could you imagine? Scary just saying it lol

But hey everybody has their preferences. I've noticed a lot of fans are attached or obsessed with that period one way or another.

OldFriends4Sale said:

Exactly.Bruce Springsteen still tours with his E.Street Band and the members are the same age as him (or older) and it works just fine.Not sure why some Prince fans didn't want him onstage with people his own age,lol

cbarnes3121 said:

for a man that didnt wanna look back and always felt the need 2 move ahead i cant see him that interested in bringing it back like that when we all know what he was working on when he passed. i was never interested in the revoultion.

People who say shit like this are The Org's version of "edgelords". Whatever, Edgelord!

tab32792 said:

Hmm wonder why...if only I could put my finger on it ...

OldFriends4Sale said:

And that's really the crux of it.

I have never understood why fans don't talk about a reunion of the SOTT/Lovesexy band, which many think was his best. I love the NPG band that he had in 2007-2010 time frame with Cora or Blackwell on drums and Cassandra. The reunion I would like to see at this point is 3EG or the Black is the New Black band since those two were most recent for him. Most folks were introduced to Prince in 1984 so that is where they are. It just doesnt make sense that folks are pushing more for a reunion of his image band from the mid 80's over some of his more accomplished bands.

Putting the mic up was a passive aggressive act. They knew he didn't want to play with them, still they prentended it was a possibility.

He did say that in an interview about a previous bass player (Rolling Stone 2014?) - but I had always assumed he was referring to Rhonda (which surprised me, because she's awesome) because he was putting together an all-girl group.

1 Bonnie Boyer is deceased

2 I would love for them to jam

3 Dr Fink is tied to the Revolution

4 Eric is tied to the Family (even though he does play with the Revolution)

5 Sheila E was the band drummer...

6 Sheila E Miko Levi were a part of Sheila E's band

7 Miko disappeared a long time ago, did not stay in contact with anyone, and hasn't seemed to reach out to anyone

8 Levi disappeared and resurface around 2013 when Sheila E 'revamped' her shows with Eddie M and started doing songs like Erotic City Olivers House Koo Koo the Belle of St Mark etc. He did about 2-3 shows with them, but nothing else that I know of

9 Cat and Sheila E (are not really on good wave lengths)

10 Atlanta Bliss retired from the business (someone needs to get him out for a bit though) if possible

11 I would love a Madhouse reconnection though

That is silly lol, because he said that when he was doing the whole 3rd Eye Girl thing, and not long after that he's doing stuff with older NPG members, had Bobby Z on drums for Purple Rain, I think(think) he had Larry Graham back etc

.

But doing Housequake is not that hard. It isn't that much different from DMSR Let's Work Lady Cab Driver Head. And if they can do a complex song like Life Can Be So Nice live, House quake is straight forward. Soft n Wet Sex Dancer 1999 17 Days

.

Shhhhh ie Do Me Baby, International Lover, the Beautiful Ones, It's Gonna Be Lonely,

.

I'm not recalling what Day of Wild sounds like

.

U do know these people are the same people that jammed precisely Prince's catalogue from 1978-1986 right?

I don't think Rhonda wanted to sign on any further

I guess it was Brown Mark

Hey outside of the 2013 period when he surrounded himself with 20something year old women and I don't mean just 3rd Eye girl

Even Prince musical focus was mostly on 'the classics' Prince's classics will forever be 1978-1988

the Gold Experience was never nor could it ever be the new purple (rain)

C the CD in his hand?

lol they go out of their way to post on thread about people they are not interested in to let us know they are not interested in them.

So stalk the FB pages of those they are not interested in...
