Aww, cut P some slack...
If Maceo Parker was in YOUR band, could you resist yellin' "Maceo, blow your horn!" like you was James Brown back in the day? (Now you KNOW ya would!  )[This message was edited Sun Feb 29 12:50:45 2004 by BorisFishpaw] | |

I think Revolution75 was just posing a question and NOT stating he hates Maceo. |

Yeah, and I think BB King will be the next great addition, and maybe even Bo Diddley.  "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

Well so is Larry, to a certain extent... but Maceo is a normal human being. Larry is a complete psycho. That's the difference. Larry is not a psycho.....what a wank thing to say! So...how's everybody doing? | |

Haystack said: Fancy hating somebody that you don't even personally know.
How sad is that? Dis-liking somebody's influence is one thing. Hating somebody is something completely different. Whatever! To whomever it may concern: you shouldn't allow Prince, his work, or the very talented people he chooses to work with, affect your life to the extent that it runs into hate. Life's too short. CO-SIGN!!!!! So...how's everybody doing? | |

Hate? That's way too strong a word. Maceo and Larry have done a lot for the advancement of music. I don't even hate people who have actually wronged me in my real life.
As for those who constantly bitch and moan on this site.....  |

1) please re-read my post..i never said that I (revolution 75) hate maceo..the reason this post was made was because of some previous threads that had some members complaining about maceo and his solos..etc..etc.. 2) hate in the actual context IS a strong word but i am using the word hate as in the modern day slang.... like playa hating...hateration..etc..etc... 3)re-read every single on of my posts on this one...i absolutely love and respect maceo parker...he is truly one of the people who laid down the funk foundation (james,p-funk,himself,and now prince)... minor keys and drugs don't make a rollerskate jam | |

How could anyone HATE Maceo?
I admit Larry has some cringe-worth moments (his verse on "The Christ"). Maceo's no Larry, but anyway Larry ain't the psycho Prince-eating beast you all make him out to be either. | |

Maceo is a cool old school dude 
i'd actually wish Prince was best friends with him over Larry. The last thing Maceo looks like he would do is be "Preachie".. he looks like he would hang in a bar, drink, hit on hot fans and crack a ton a jokes | |

[This message was edited Sun Feb 29 18:18:07 2004 by EllisDee] Oh Lord, do you really not get the point? The point is that regardless of what a musician accomplished in his day, he's old now, and does not fit on stage with Prince. Prince can play with old men when he's old.

I'm not sweatin' this discussion. It's like Prince said, what people feel or have to say about him and what he chooses to do musically is really just a reflection of them. | |

Well, I gotta disagree with the notion that Maceo makes the stage 40 years older. I don't think it matters what age you are in Prince's band, as long as you can play (and for that matter, he has Candy Dulfer to balance that out, since she is quite young).
Prince chooses musicians based on their ability, not age, race, religion, sex, etc. He always has, and I really don't think that will change. Personally, I would love to see him play with Bo Diddley or BB. I saw Bo a few years ago, and was just blown away by his virtuosity. To be his age and still tearin' it up every night is quite impressive. 
Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended, for the taking of offense is what rests in the bosom of the stupid ones. (Ecclesiastes 7:9) | |

Well, I just think of it like this, guys like Larry & Maceo were
musical heroes for Prince when he was growing up and for him to have them in playing in his bands now would be like if I got to have Prince play in my band 15 years from now! 
Another thing that I like about Prince havin these guys around is that they absolutely love what they are doing. Larry, a funk-bass innovator and Maceo whom improvised all over and helped compose some of J.B.'s most exciting material are totally cool playing with Prince. 
Sure i could probably take or leave another performance of Pass The Peas (or similar covers) but if you check them out on a live video, you can see how these guys are having a blast performing them. I find that rather enjoyable. "Hyperactive when I was small, Hyperactive now I'm grown, Hyperactive 'till I'm dead and gone"

Prince can play with old men when he's old. apparently you don't get the point of talent... it doesn't matter how old an artist is... talent is talent... and at 70, b.b. king can still smoke guitar players who are even a third his age... let prince try to match b.b. on the blues, and you'll see how young b.b.'s fingers can be...  ...
