PrintableI kinda think you like someones music and you like them to me it goes hand in hand. This is because most of the time you dont really know these people but they give you enjoyment through there art and this is the only way you can really judge.As for Prince seeming arrogant or whatever ,thats part of what makes him what he is,you couldnt be that succesful without a lot of self-belief. So it don't bother me as I dont think he's a prick he's made my life more enjoyable through his music. | |

 You tell me what artist(s) is not a prick or have an attitude in this business? Who cares! You only believe what you read or hear from the media. If you do not really know the person you can't say if all these things are actually true you read about. I do believe he has his days & all but i am not concerned with none of it. He makes great music & that is why i like him. | |

how can anybody xomment on what kind of guy Prince is personally unless you have met him? and how can you base your decision on what kind of guy he is by former disgruntled employees? it's unfair to judge him unless you have personally met him or else its unfair to the man Check it out ...Shiny Toy Guns R gonna blowup VERY soon and bring melody back to music..you heard it here 1st! http://www.myspacecomment...theone.mp3 | |

OK - so I've heard what Prince has got to say in music and a few interviews.
From that, no, I don't think he is a prick. | |

Supernova said: No. I don't have to deal with him or his business.
It bothers me if I have to deal with some of his retarded fans. Mad Props To Supernova!!!  I personally have never met the man and cannot decide whether or not he is a "prick". It's about the music, not the person. What Prince does on his own time is his business! As long as he puts out good material and keeps performing well in concert, I wouldn't care if he was the king of the Pricks.I'm back!!!!!!! | |

Call me a Teenie Booper Groupie but I would NEVER call Prince such Dispicable names. I Love him as he is Sexy Ass Cool. To me it's like Prince is the Artist and he does things His Way. How ya gonna tell him to do things Differently? He has to Follow his VISION to Create Music. Ya either live in the PAST and Wishing bout his DIRTY MIND or Ya Groove Onto his New Jams and just well Play his Videos and Older Records. I could Never give Up listening to Prince cause he's just so Prolific and I really Dig on Hearing what he is Thinkin bout. | |

I don't think Prince is a prick....he's just his own man who gives most of his time over to his music.
Over the years that I've come to know a little of him....he seems actually pretty cool and nice. | |

Prince is just being Rebellious ya know. He's not into Doing what People Expect as he Does what He Feels Like. Prince is the Boss and No one Tells HIM What to Do. He does what He Wants To Do! | |

yes, it bothers me and probably detracts from the music somewhat. I try not to watch his interviews, but I usually can't resist, even though a lot of things he says really bothers me. It is crazy how he suddenly thinks his dirtier songs are bad and there is something wrong with his fans who want to hear them. Oh well, he's a musical genius and many geniuses are marginally insane, so I guess that's OK. | |

Like others have said,we don't know Prince personally.We can just enjoy his music,buy his CDs,go to his concerts,etc without having to deal with the person that that he really is.Yes,we've all heard the horror stories about what type of person he can be,we all know about the massive ego,we all know how what the ex-bandmembers have said...lol...but I prefer to just enjoy the music and leave the other stuff for the tabloids. | |

I admit,I usually don't like to watch his interviews these days.This may sound crazy,but I feel that the more he tells us,the less interesting he becomes.I miss the old days when he rarely did interviews and mostly let the music do the talking. | |

Prince being a so-called "prick" speaks to his humanity. He's human for crissakes! No one is perfect...not even him. But, I will say this: he's now beginning to admit mistakes, his flaws and everything. I think it takes guts to do this. I still think he's an arrogant SOB at times, but who cares. For me, it's always been strictly about the music. In the latest Rolling Stone, he admits that his past behavior turned off many people, including fans, and he seems remorseful about that.
Yes, he's a prick but don't you think that adds to his uniqueness and brings an interesting quality to his music? The reason why his approach is so unconventional is precisely because he's not a "conventional" artist. | |

No. Why? Because I'm a prick!  "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

Allow me to add that I think it does hurt P's ability to get people to listen to his music IF he is a prick. For me, this is really sad because people disregard some of his best work because they say that they are turned off by his behavior. I think that his image and personality has hurt in some way because, once again, it causes people to be distracted from the music. He behaves in this meglomanical way, then complains that the music ought to speak for itself. Well, I must admit that at times, P's behavior even towards his fans is a distraction. There have been several times where his tactics have even distracted me from what I believe to be his greatest musicial achievements. But, by and large, I think that the music ought to be the most important thing. | |
