I never understood Prince's thinking? Last interview he had with Kurt Loder, he boasted about having 1000 songs ready to release RIGHT NOW...and this was in what 1999???
So why are we getting 7CDs of rehash?? Stuff we already have?? WTF??? I know I'm venting, but he makes no sense. What does he make the music for? In case WW3 happens and we'll have no music but his??? I mean, if he'd release 30 songs a year which is like 3 albums/CDs of music, he would have enough music to release for the next 33+ years!!! Thats just counting the songs he CAN release according to Prince. God knows, how many more are in his vault that he's not done with yet. This is insane!! When he started doing soundchecks and he came to Oakland, I asked him DIRECTLY, if he was planning on releasing more songs from his VAULT and he looked at me with certainty and said YES!! That short, purple-sex-JWcult midget lied to me!!

I could understand with Elvis and everyone else who's material has run out so they are releasing outtakes like ONE a year, but Prince has more songs than mostly all artists out there. ARGH!!

Okay, I know I'm gonna get bashed by the Princefags, the asskissers and the idiots that don't understand what I'm trying to say so go ahead. It's his music, blah blah blah, if I don't like it, then move on...blah blah blah...wtf are you doing here if you hate Prince so much..blah blah. Its just music..blah blah Dudes and dudettes, I've heard it all before, unless you have some better replies than that, keep your overused lines to yourself.

Just because I like men, does not make me wrong on this!

I like Prince's music, especially his outtakes and I want to support him more than the bootleggers, I don't want everything, but I want at least something and we're not even getting that, just the same shit over and over again.
I dig Seal, PM Dawn and many other artists, but I dig Prince's music to and I only hate the man's decisions, not him personally. I realize its his music, ultimately, but we're fans and we have supported him for many years now so our opinion should account for something, and not fall on deaf ears. I know I just sound frustrated and I shouldn't take music so seriously, so I ask you to believe me when I say I don't. I don't go ranting and raving to every person at work or on the street about how much of a jackass Prince is, only here among my peers so feel special
I just hate being a fan for so many years, waiting patiently and not bitching like some of the other folks I've seen on here and AMP, and to find out I'm not getting anything for the wait. It sucks, but what can you do right? Hopefully things will change..one of these days.

erm, you do know how fickle the brotha is to begin with, right? might've been 'yes' at that moment he spoke to you but yet n'still you should know that the 'yes' could switch over to 'no' in a rabbit's heartbeat.

It felt good to get that out eh Rudy

moonshine said:

Sure did

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

For real tho'. They said over at the club, not even two months ago, that material previously released at the club would not be available. I have given in to the fact that Prince does what he wants and not to expect anything. I'm not really bummed out that the stuff is gonna get released again. I already have it all so I won't be buying it again. It's simple as that. I do respect your right to rant and would never tell you to go away. Prince's antics got on my nerves constantly til I gave up.

I totally agree with u rude.

Get out of my head!!! Totally 100% agree. I think he's going about the old rehash deal cause he got away with it with the ONA Live Box set. We got that damn piano album twice and he goes and tells us to give one to a friend. What's he gonna say now? Give it to an enemy??? I swear just when I think he's pulled off the wildest scam he goes and outdoes himself. Can't wait for the next one!

I can see it now, this is what the fams WANT and we're giving it to you. And then at NPGMC they'll be people praising him for doing releasing these to us AGAIN. I love the posts over there, each word is fit for a Prince.

Wouldn't the club have been great to have around when he was in the studio all day and all night?? Getting songs sent to us as that were just days old not years? Oh well, back to reality.

rudedog said:

Good! Now bend over and take it just like everyone else!

LittlePill said:

OH WE"RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT!! NO WE AIN"T GONNA TAKE IT..WE"RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE-ORE!!!

While I am totally convinced that he needs to sell music, and that selling music in the club is in the right direction, I dont agree with "rehashing" what has already been sold. If he doesnt have anything else to offer, This is BY FAR the biggest joke of all three years, hand down.

I think he's been fibbing all these years.

This is IT folks!

Whats also sad is a fan of a musician saying "selling music is a good direction".

All the brotha does now is sell "gear" for the fans who have the guts to look stupid with his face across the shirt, reassuring them that they are wayyy in to deep for this person. Maybe thats why he sells all those clothes, since people wont listen to his music, he will fool people into believe that people actually do by wearing his gear.

Cecy said:

I agree! He must be the only artist who has released the same album three times within 18 months!

soulpower said:

Wonder if he is friends with Yanni.

You're totally right. That sums it up perfectly...

Cecy...hey sweetie

p.s. nice avatar.

liberation said:

Too bad it's not Prince...

Neversin.

He knows there's enough people willing to pay for the same rehashed stuff over and over that he doesn't have to release the good stuff.

I guess it's pension scheme.

rudedog said:

Let me Teeelllsumthin. I am a NEW member and dont have NO npgmc cd's, nor do i really care cuz i have most of the stuff except for a few. It is your choice, not no one else to release stuff. Now first of all Prince maybe NOT ready 2 release EVERYSINGLETHING that he has, what's going to be left for himself? Yall still gonna be begging for more and have more complainers out there even if he DID release it.

Hell i bet if he came out with "Prince, All 4 U, my vault o boots". U guys would still be out there throwing it away because "It aint perfect engough"

I dont care if he releases that stuff or not. News was good 4 right now. It will last me till next year..im skippin on Chocolate Invasion, now I'm lookin 4ward 2 "Musicology", just move on, damn.

yeah, I remember him sayin that, and laughin my ass off because it was the biggest lie he could tell at the time..

paisleypark4 said:

Like I stated in my post, I, as well as many others, have been waiting a long time and I acknowledge that we can't have everything, nor do i want him to release everything, my point is that he has 1000 song ready to release ACCORDING TO HIM(re-read the READY TO RELEASE part again)yet we haven't seen a small portion of that number get released.

paisleypark4 said:

What do you base these assumptions from? What does "it ain't perfect enough" have to do with anything? No matter what, ppl are gonna complain, but the fact remains is that he has the material to release yet he chooses to hord it and resell already released material OVER and OVER again. How does this make sense to anyone but someone who puts $$$ before everything else? If you think this is fair, then you have a screw loose in your head or have a tree that grows money.



Pfft, you are new. You must have missed the part of my post where I listed why I DON"T wish to move on.

Umm how difficult is this decision? If you've got the music, you don't have to pay for it again. Once again, the man is just trying to accommodate a reasonable request from many NPGMC members and folks like you get your panties in a twist. I understand you are feigning for some "NEW" music. Ain't we all? But you act as if Prince knocked on your door and threatened to put 6 bullets in your ass if you decide not to buy this extraordinary package. There's really no need to rant.

psykosoul said:

No, that's not it. I want some of it, but not all of it. Why do I need ONA three times?? I want Xpecation on CD, but not C-note. I don't need the NPGMC tracks, why? Point is, he forces to buy all of the CDs, instead of the ones we want. If he wants to accomodate the few NPGMC ppl that complain, why are we getting ONA on CD for the THIRD time? Its a scam and my rant is about him stopping that crap, thats all. I want to buy Prince's music, but why must I buy it 5 times before I get some new material? Does this make sense to you? I kinda live in a world that makes sense, don't know if you do.

rudedog said:

What country do you live in? Do the speak and write in English there? The advertisement plainly states package. I'm assuming you paid membership costs for the past 3 years for the package. Because that's how it was presented. Because it's Prince the lot of you expected music to come falling from the sky and purple rain to actually come from the clouds every now and then. Of course, we all wanted the cds and maybe a chance to see him perform if he came within our vicinities. But truthfully, the music was intended as the bonus, you were really shelling out $100 to get kick ass seats at a show without knowing what you would get in advance. So honestly if you purchased this set, this would be the first time you actually paid for it. And you don't have to keep what you don't want. You know some crackhead in Oomfooland will buy one of those discs on ebay and pay something ignorant for it. If you want the other cds bad enough you'll pay for it. So if you live in a world that makes sense, I hope it makes sense to your kind to not feel forced to buy something you don't really want.

Don't believe the hype. Prince has always boasted about the supposed vault but I'd bet my farm that the only thing in there is an old candle, a used condom, & an escape hatch in case the "Apocolpyse" hits..

psykosoul said:

This really did make me laugh. Your grammar clearly shows you do not have a grasp of the English language, but you throw stones at others!

Anyway. So in year 1, the music was a bonus? Please ask any fan outside of the USA who was a member in year 1, how much they enjoyed the world tour that never took place.

Sorry Prince and Psyksoul! I'm glad I paid $100 for seats at concerts that never took place!

Please Psyksoul, don't dive for cover. Answer these:

1. How can you attack someones grammar, when you first paragraph does not make sense?

2. If Year 1 music was the bonus, what did those outside of the USA pay $100 for?

I'm really looking forward to your answer.....

Now I understand. What a silly fam I have been...
