When the hell will folks realise that Prince and his gimps are producing some trite shit and squeezing every last penny out of fans?

The ONLY way things will change is if you hurt Prince where it counts, in his bank balance.

I never bought the new DVD as i knew it would be total crap, in a long line of craporama products coming out of PP.

Anywhoo...you've only got yourselves to blame, y'all were warned and warned again.

Prince has once again let the fans down, more and more move away...less and less people pay attention to him.

It's all of his own doing

please shut the hell up You're "I Told you so" speeches only make you look stupid.

Well, said. Not to change the subject but nice avatar!

...and guys like you will never shut up and stop bitching about every damn thing.

Your point?

liberation said:

This is a cliche and so is this thread

And your purpose and point is??? I think I'm entitled to like what I like. Let me enjoy the ride.

liberation said:

Well go away then y r u here??? dont get it !!!

You've got a point ...
I'm mainly into the old stuff too

but don't take it too serious
just buy the things you like ...
and let others buy the things they like.

There are plenty of artist who make a lot of shit that sells better than Prince has ever sold ... and I don't give a shit!

Good point. But when these zealots still ante up $25 just so they can spend even MORE money to buy music and DVDs a week before they're available in stores (no matter that they'll get them a month later), as long as people accept this junk that Prince has been releasing lately as "his path" or some such nonsense, Prince will still think people care about him and continue doing what he's doing. Only if people turned their back on him, might he change and give people what they want...and what would possibly sell.

I got NEWS for ya-- many fans have left Prince's Park years ago. He couldn't even sellout a free DVD showing! His career is in a tailspin and I think he doesn't know what to do and neither do his yes men.

If he got his shit together, got a good manager and a put a serious career plan together, I think a minor comeback could happen. But the more crap he releases the more fans he loses. And everytime he decides to promote something (Rave or the new DVD) it is some of his worst product.

According to the site, all the DVD viewings were sold out.

doomboogie said:

I can't speak for anyone else, but I didn't give Prince 25 bucks for the opportunity to buy the music a week eary. I have never purchased anything off the site, never will. I spent that money cuz I don't want to miss anything. I have my negative moments sometimes, but for Prince to have that DVD screening on the big screen for free was a cool thing to do for his fans. To get to hear NEWS so you could make an intelligent decision as to whether or not to buy was a good thing. The club leaves something to be desired for sure, but calling folks zealots?

I might be one of the few, but I love the dvd. Granted, it's not the best quality I've ever seen, but it's not that bad either. Some dvd's are amazing quality and I agree that his could've been better, but it's really not that bad and the music totally kicks ass

Exactly! he gave us all the chance to test out the dvd. if we like it, we can buy it, if we don't like it, we didn't spend any money to find out. i think it was a cool idea.

Wow, thanks Richard.

Now we all see the light - what would we do without your vision?

I complain too sometimes, but let's face the truth: we're fans and we'll buy any s**t put out of him until we die. Let's face it. Faith is stronger than reason. And then, c'mon, this dvd might have a crappy quality but it's nice souvenir of one of his best tours EVER!

liberation said:

"Hey, Liberation?"

"Yeah"

"SHUT UP!!!"






Prince is dead, heil the new king.

(sorry, just found out how the emoticons work.)

I agree with the sentiment. Unfortunately, the complainers don't adhere to this piece of advice and will be the first in line to for the next helping of "trite shit" and will be here within minutes offering their two cents. All of those who have been fed up with his practices should have jumped ship a long time ago and cut their losses. If "Emancipated" Prince isn't your cup of tea, then quit ordering more of it.

Listen this is so Untrue and I just say to any naysayer please if you Aren't into Prince anymore well just leave and stop Knocking where he is now in his life. Listen to me Prince will Never be a Dissapointment. He never is and he Always tries NEW Things. Tell ya I'm Always gonna be Hot for what he does Musically. He'll always be the Best. I'll Always love HIM. Everybody says I'm crazy but I don't Care. He's the only one and nobody will Ever Compare to Him.

Aren't you the guy or girl from Alt.Music.Prince who always lost to Satim or T?

You must have me confused with someone else.

LMMFBAO!!!

liberation said:

Dayum, doesn't this constant complaining get redundant after a while?? I mean, I was always taught that if you don't like something, change it, or in this case, ignore it.

What is stopping the people who are always making negative feedback regarding product and such to simply stop buying it, and move on?? It happens all the time. If I went to McDonald's, and didn't like the hamburgers, I would just stop buying them. Don't the same logic apply to Prince's "product"??

I don't mean to make this a "dig" on anyone, but it never seems to fail around here. It (again) started with "N.E.W.S." (which I think is GREAT), and now the new DVD (again, very good IMO).

To all those who are unhappy with the recent output...can you please take a step off the bandwagon, and make room for the ones that are comfortable taking the ride.

Thanks for the time.

ThirdStrike said:

More and more people are doin just that, we don't like it, and generally feel that Prince SHOULD NOT be ignored...

The idea that I passedon the Club this year should speak volumes- and I'm as hardcore as they come.

It's a shame.

Nefertiti said:

Yes, SHE is.

Muffy said:

You don't do yourself any favours.

How can you know you'll like something before you have heard it?

You have turned the love of the man or music into a faith.

Thats the first sign of a cult.

& who knows,maybe it will b the 1st official Prince release i dont buy,but actually download.
