No offense at all to 'dioblack', but that was the funniest reply I've ever seen.

Peace.

I used to think getting back together with them would be a good thing. I don't think so now. It's been a long time since they played together. I doubt that would have what it takes to play live like he's doing now. I tend to look at all of the players now as just different eras and styles...some better than others. They all were there during some really good musical moments...all of them.

I do think a revisit with the Revolution to finish things would be very welcome and appropriate. But not for the long term nor for good. Studiowise he was very prolific with them..but jamming and live...the fit was not so good.

Oh and IMO.

I understand that sometimes people want to relive past glories, BUT this is not 1984. And besides, it wouldn't be the same because P and everyone else is not the same. You're not the same, at least I hope you're not. I'm not. Let P, Lisa, Brown Mark, Wendy, Bobby and Matt do their thing. If they do get back together, let it be because they have something NEW to offer, not having Prince come from underneath the stage with a gang of smoke saying "Dearly Beloved". They have totally been there and done that.

I feel you BG..


but Brown Mark is sorely missed... he is the funkiest and baddest bass player for Prince. Saw Prince last night @ the Staples Center in L.A. "P" definitely rocked it though but i just missed Brown Mark's thang. No disrespect to Rhonda.

Yeah, that was pretty good. I had to cop that picture for future posts myself.

Thanks,

I could deal with that. nod One last get together wouldn't hurt, I suppose. I would also like to hear some new music come out of that.

Corny as it may seem. When I was at his LA show, I hoped at some point he would put on that purple studded jacket, Wendy would step on stage and they would rip through a couple of songs. Talk about going nuts. Silly or not, I think the crowd would have truly lost their minds. dancing jig

YUP. What WOULD be nice though would be some sort of song collaboration on an album or two.

I'm screaming at the caps joke, but seriously- what's done is done. Jamming together for a song or two would be cool, but nothing more than that... The season is past....

I love the Revolution, but....

For You
Prince
Dirty Mind
Controversy
1999
Black Album
Lovesexy

... all made without the Revolution.

The Revolution was special (the most special band Prince has had, where he was at a creative and commercial peak), but I always think when band's reform it seems tinged with a tragic edge due to the inevitable inability to recapture the magic.

I know the facts, there's no myth, but they're not credited to the Revolution - and even the one's that were are mainly Prince.

I dont know if I would consider a few backing vocals from Lisa or Dez THAT integral to the making of those albums , but if that's the bubble YOU want to live in...have at it.

Maybe not the whole lot...but they were around...they must have had some input/output...or something. When you work with other people, stuff rubs off. And I know that not everyone got credit all of the time. I am from the school, that if players are around, they are inputing...though however minutely...though they may not get the credit.

Certainly not disagreeing with you, NouveauDance, as you are very credible and got your facts in order. But things like "the ball" in which he worked on with W&L(I think) turns into eye no on Lovesexy. Again I am assuming that since this was recoded during revolution years (in my mind stretch as far back as Dirty Mind and go up to Lovesexy...he was with at least one or more members...oh and IMO...), that they were a part of the process.

I really don't think we'll ever know how much input anyone had at any one time. I mean a key change suggested by a member or even accidentally played by another member, could have gotten into the song...without a credit....easily. Or an extra snare hit on accident. If you see my drift. Now if he went into a room and recorded these songs by himself and/or then brought in the band to play it exactly like he did...then I can see how there would be absolutely no input. But I don't think that's what happened.

Band members often had a lot less input into Prince's records than most people realise.
Over half the stuff released as 'Prince and the Revolution' was actually still Prince solo.
