I wanna see Prince play rock with a pissed off mug. never heard of such a thing. is it like that stuff like blink 182 or whoever does? "punk pop"? Come on, work with me here. It's the difference in attitude. I'm sure you can see it in songs like I'm Yours and Endorphinemachine. There's a huge difference. Even his latest solo had a bit more seriousness to it.

SPRAKA said: As long as he is not angrily singing about record companies, getting paid, and religion and other nonsense like that, I'll be fine with it!
No doubt. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

rialb said: I think that would be great. Certainly he is capable of it. Maybe Prince needs someone to expose him to some different kinds of music like Wendy & Lisa did in the '80s. He seems to be stagnating somewhat. He's most definitely capable of it. The problem is he's stuck in this jazz/funk slump that's only gonna help bury him some more. There's no more attitude or depth. It's all empty garbage. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

whodknee said: How would Maceo get his piece, then?
 F Maceo. He should be chillin on the sandy beaches of Bermuda right now instead of aging Prince's stage. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

whodknee said: I don't think it' s a matter of exposure but rather inspiration. That kind of music comes from dissatisfaction, unhappiness, and ambition among other things. Apparently that's not where he's at right now.
 True. Right now Prince is in his JW wonderland, and everything is fuckin peach fuzz. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

BlackandRising said: what, too much funk??? I'm hoping that he stays in this groove! And what listeners are you referring to? It certainly wouldn't register better with the folks I know. There's a lot of information in this post... Well it's great for you if you like this so-called "music." But the fact is that only a very small percentage of people actually care for it. All I know is that after a Prince performance, a good guitar moment is remembered a lot better than some horn flooded crap. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

mrdespues said: I've heard that Musicology, the album, is set to have some rocky moments on it.
Perhapse. But a little guitar distortion doesn't make for a good rock song. I guess we'll see. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

sinisterpentatonic said: Prince never took his rock side to where I thought he was always capable of.
I always wished he would've done a dark rockish experimental type of thing, whenever he tried to do the rock thing it always seemed light in the ass. I guess all hopes for that is gone, damn Prince if you're reading this let me produce some of your shit. Yeah, me too. I'll throw a Boss MT-2 pedal and an Ibanez Smash Box in front of his feet.

I think what you're talking about is I noticed Prince did his best work when he was out there experiencing life. I notice with a lot of musicians after they hit a certain scale of success, they're new music gets weak and they are lost playing past hits because when you aren't hungry, hanging out with different people, struggling for something then a sort of complacency happens. For instance, Rainbow Children was successful because he was spiritually motivated and there was a level of controversy involved. Musicology unfortunately is a personal thing with him and many personal musical ventures of many musicians fail because it's just that, personal. This is not to say that Musiciology will fail, I feel he will get a satisfactory number of sales because people will buy it because it's Prince.
I would like to see Prince do some hard edge-filled rock also, but I think that might be further down the line as soon as he gets off his big band funk soul kick. Prince changes like a light switch, so I wouldn't be surprised if he axes his current band in a couple of years, get a drummer and a bassist and do a U2-type thing with some old school rock. LQ | |

2freaky4church1 said: Prince tried the Nine Inch Nails thing with Loose; and that was only mildly interesting. When he is happy he makes better music. Remember Black Album? '
There's Other's Here With Us is that kind of song. Prince was on the right track with Loose! though. I wish he just tried some more. It doesn't necessarily have to be dark and morbid, but a little attitude would be nice. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

LQ I'd love for him to stip the band down and get back to the good ol days. And not only does his music need attitude, but so does his band. Sure his band now is full of talent, but they're so fuckin boring. His former bands used to be full of personality and character. Not anymore.

Well, to add to what you and Lady Q said, it just seems that he's more concerned with showing off licks, chops, and overall musicianship than playing out of pure emotion and true, get-wrenching passion. Everything just seems to be waaaayyy too polished. That's why it seems like most of what he's been writing these days are so.....just there. It was nice to see a bit of what he did at RRHOF, but that only just makes you wish he tore shit up like that ALL the time on almost every song he plays in concert. I guess we'll see, starting this Monday, how performs on this new tour, but I don't see it being any different than what we've seen so far on Ellen, Leno, Grammy's, HIS set on RRHOF, etc.... | |

It's the difference in attitude. I'm sure you can see it in songs like I'm Yours and Endorphinemachine. There's a huge difference. Even his latest solo had a bit more seriousness to it. both aforementioned songs (especially "i'm yours") could be defined as "happy rock", so that point is moot. if you want rock, do one of two things: 1) go and put "bambi" on repeat. 2) sit down, hush, and keep an ear out. your wish may or may not be granted. if the latter happens, don't sweat it. | |

So...what statistical model did you use to determine that only a small percentage of people like his current style? is the data from a Zogby poll? Since you state these anecdotes as facts, I assume you have some numbers to back them up. LMAO. You are showing yourself with these posts...really. It's like looking through glass. This was a pretty asinine statement on your part. | |

EvilWhiteMale said: It would be cool for Prince to record an album that's more rock influenced, but it's gotta be done a certain way. I love songs like Endorphinemachine, Interactive, Peach, Let's Go Crazy, etc. But I'd like for Prince to add a more serious tone to his rock music, like he did with Bambi and I'm Yours. I think it would register a bit better with listeners. Prince needs more attitude in his music, and I think that's a big part of what's missing. It's time for a Prince album with a holy shit!, kick in the teeth, get fucked type of sound.
I think that is the longest post I have ever seen from you, EWM!!!
I happen to agree with you. I'd love 2 hear some more rock from him. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016
