and he'd listen to you, what would be his next move?

put a dvd of his never before released promo videos.



PEACE N B WiLD!!!

not B4 the members get first picks.

...u'd b prince.

I'd send him out on the bootleg tour.

Play on Jools Holland's show on BBC2!

Dunno why but I just think he could rock that show.

Spot on. They'd lap him up!

if i was princes manager , i would pull his head out of his arse !

just a wee joke try to read the above with a sense of humour !

to retire.

I'd make him come to my house and clean my toilet after a night of heavy drinking.

Come to an amicable agreement with Warner Bros. to put a plan in motion to remaster/reissue his first decade of output. Expand the albums with extra material. No edits.

I'd hide his all make-up and wigs just for fun.

I'd have my way with him. Then, I would have him do a US concert, just to show everyone that he isn't dead. Then, he can go back to being the little hermit that we have all come to know and love.

I would tell him to come out of the closet.

Tell him to sell Paisley Park and leave Minnesota.
If a car is parked too long it gets rusty...human ass don't age like wine. His muse hasn't been in tune for too long now...he has to get inspired again.

i'd make him do a segment of MTV unplugged, or VH1 storytellers.

I'd put him in the studio until he comes up with eight GREAT songs, not fourteen so-so songs, not three long jams and two good songs, eight great songs. And nothing related to or inspired by or anything to do with JW. Then I'd sign him to a major label, make him make a video with a real director, and put his ass on tour. No opera halls -- theatres, arenas, and sheds only. Hire a second guitarist. Better horn section with better charts -- either the Eric/Atlanta combo or the NPG five-piece from the early 90s.

Then I'd sit back and count the money while he murders the stage every night, leaving audiences dumbfounded at what they've been missing.

Relaunch yourself to the mainstream by playing at famous festivals such as Glastonbury in '04 and release the best unreleased songs as if a new album. Play on the hype generated by PR and rerelease an special edition cd (with outtakes such as G-spot and Possessed) and dvd of the film

Tell him to write an autobiography..how fascinating would that b?

I'd book him at small venues across the world, get him a good, versatile backing band and ship him off. He could see the world, play intimate crowds under the radar and he could work out new songs while on the road. Of course we'd put out live albums of the shows (without overdubs) and get video footage. He could vacation whenever/wherever he wanted and record studio albums at his leisure along the way.

I'd tell him he's earned the right to do what he likes.

I think Prince has it in him to have commercial success again, but I can't see it happening for real unless he starts to work with other professionals - producers, arrangers and to hand over a little control to people with different perspectives on his music.

I think he needs to rid himself of this "whimsical" image he has. Play some festivals, maybe even support a couple of new acts - teach the youngsters what real music is (but what new act in their right mind would let Prince onto the same stage?)

I think he's got it in him to be commercially successful again (more so than any of the more established performers) ... but does he want to?

1 - put some real content on NPGMC to make the fans happy
2 - release the entire vault, uncensored, at a rate of one CD per month, exclusively through the iTunes music store.
3 - I'd use some of that revenue to do major promotion of his next studio album, which would be timed to take advantage of both the world tour and the R&R hall of fame induction. This would include videos (including a video DVD), singles with b-sides, remixes, etc.
4 - I'd work to get him and his comeback on the cover of magazines. Rolling Stone, People, etc.

... good topic btw ... 5 stars

Tell him to seduce the youngest, hottest female WB exec who happens to have alot of sway. Get control of his masters, dump her ass. Then do whatever the fuck he likes.

And release some stuff his long-suffering fans want, i.e. 80's vault material.

Well starting from 2002...

I wouldve released the One Night Alone Live Box Set...with selective 'song' performances...from the Tour!

perhaps...The Ladder, PopLife, Purple Rain, Gett Off, Sexuality, Always In My Hair, God, Dolphin, Mountains, Power Fantastic & Last December...

The DVD...would also Feature the Entire 3 hour Live@The Aladdin Show.
With Bonus Clips from The Aftershow featuring Cyndi Lauper performing 'When U Were Mine' and some jammin with Sheila E.

The Box Set would have been released on Hip-O/Universal Music Group/NPG Records...with much hype publicity.

Indie N.E.W.S set available through the CLUB!

As for the year 2003...Prince would Sign on 2 Join The Family Jam!
