Further, they were the ones who left first and the man likely was quite hurt and embarrassed by that so if he didn't invite them to the jam session then oh the fuck well. Guess their attempt at 4D chess-ing their way into his writing process backfired and he began writing his best material when they weren't around.

What is this utter nonsense??

Nothing is contradicted here. They heard Prince play a new song he was writing, probably for the 4 millionth time. That's the whole story.

Sure we have a soundcheck of Raspberry Beret in 1982/3 where Prince is calling out the chord changes as the band are playing the song. Dude wrote a lot of songs. Sometimes he took pieces of music from other people (Jungle Love, Belle of St Mark, Mountains) and fleshed them out into full songs. How is any of this controversial??

You seem to be replying to somene else but quoting my use of the word contradiction.

Someone already detailed the context of this.

Prince was first acquainted with the Fairlight CMI III in April 1985. Its use on Parade was very sound library-oriented and refreshing, and more preset-y in the 1986-1988 eras.

.

I suspect the very explicit timing of this story reflects a soundcheck that is now circulating on a limited basis.

Why would he be soundchecking without them? He was already doing sessions without the Revolution at that point? The story just raised a lot of questions.

Prince wasa known to have his hotelrooms fitted for recording or have a piano installed and he was known to always be early at venues the day of a concert to soundcheck, rehearse and work on whatever he was working on in his hotelroom the night before. So this isn't anything out of the ordinary.

I see.

I have mad respect for the music of Wendy and Lisa but it's a bit ironic that on a song that does not feature her or the Revolution that this is mentioned.

I have no reason to believe she is lying but it does lead one to question the motive.

These type of stories just highlight what one post Revolution band member said to me in regards to attention whoring by members of the Revolution after Prince's death.

Well listen, maybe i'm missing the context here but what I'm reading myself is a story about how a person heard a song/groove. I see nothing about claiming authorship or influence, just "here's when i first heard a song," i don't get how this is controversial, nor do I see some underhanded motive that you clearly see.

DM me if you like, I can take it, although obviously I might disagree.

first of all, you soundcheck instruments individually before hearing the whole band. you dont just turn the whole band on and try to figure it all out. secondly, they were just arriving for the soundcheck. does it really surprise you Prince would be first?

So they cannot talk about the SOTT album or music?

Read through the rest of the thread.

Prince did a lot of extra stuff at soundchecks, but what you're describing is not how the soundcheck portion of a soundcheck would go. We could talk about that but it's getting off topic.

I mean, can anyone? Why are you honing in on me as if I said anything injurious. Relax.

LOL Did you just tell on yourself????

No? You snipped my post????

why did you reply to my post to MuleFunk?

I wasn't 'honing in on you' I was not talking to you. So why would you reply to a post that wasn't about you or directed at you... get it?

They can reply to whatever they want to but that's my point.

The Prince World didn't revolve around Wendy and Lisa.

Next she'll say I heard 7 when we were on the Purple Rain tour.

The Prince world also doesn't revolve around fans saying what Wendy or Lisa did or didn't exprience or were there for. There is nothing here being said that is out of line

Lol this thread is funny cause mods are wendy and lisa lovers so if you say anything about them, it's a problem. and like them, act as if P did nothing significant before or after. preference is one thing but it's crazy. the Revolution can tour a month after Prince is turned to ashes but let sheila e run a tribute or mayte (who was actually married to P) write a book, theyr'e opportunists.

keep the same energy. selective outrage is something else.

Wendy and Lisa are and were great/wonderful/fantastic musicians but they are not the end all be all and P doesn't owe his 40 year career to them

i don't think the problem is them talking about the music. the timing is just convenient. Sign is all the talk right now and the super deluxe is coming. they're about to start their "it's a Revolution album" campaign.

I think that for this interview, it was more them simply adding their personal experience to give the fans little tidbits in relation to the album and songs that are going to be focused on with the SOTT era

Now what I would love to hear from them is the development of All My Dreams and In A Large Room.

stupide

There is a difference between flaming a thread and actually non-emotionally biased posts.
Most of you are flaming the thread, based not on real information but your emotional bias or phobias.
And yes I already made statement about flaming the thread.

Clearly time for a bunch of you to get back to work school or both
