I think Beck is in peak form, doing things I wish Prince would do. Hes creating musical collages with his Mac and adding a video DVD with his music. Hes cuttting edge and still having alot of fun, not caring about sales, but hes selling and touring enough to ake a decent living I'm sure. Oh Prince please take note...

Hard to say.

I've never heard him mention Beck's name except that someone that got on stage to dance with him looked like Beck.

prince only seems to mention old school funk these days..


so who cares what he thinks

I LIKE BECK...

I love Beck, and I think Prince should too! Play Eathquake Weather for him and he will.

But Beck coulda kept that creepy dvd that came with The Information

Let's hope not.

I dig Beck as well (I think he's a musically brave cat...)...And while I'm always down for a little healthy criticism, I think saying that Prince should take note from Beck is like saying Denzel Washington has a lot to learn from a top flight actor like Terrence Howard...It's not that serious...

Prince only likes himself

Right, I sure do like Beck's music .

"midnite Vultures" rules...I forgot about Prince and his "Rave" in 1999...Beck was ruling!

Sdldawn said:

Old school funk is superior to most modern music,and that's what I think!

L-O-V-E Beck...but, I'm not Prince

I really like Beck, and I like the new album a lot. I don't really care though if Prince likes him.

Prince mentioned a conversation between Beck & D'Angelo, where they were commenting on what they'd like Prince to do.

Prince offered to be the opening act for them. I don't think he mentioned them by name, but it seemed clear at the time that he was talking about them.

He compared them to himself, when he questioned Stevie in his own mind regarding Ebony & Ivory.

and thats fine, im not degrading that period of music.. but I would be curious to see if he really even gives new music a chance.. he sounds like an old fart thats stuck in a period...

NDRU said:

yeah... i remember that statement... he was telling them to be more respectful

I think Prince would respect Beck, and Beck would respect Prince. They are both slightly off the mainstream. I mean,they have both had their mainstream successes, but their careers aren't necessarily defined by mainstream success.

I love Beck.

I love Prince.

Ooooo if they were together on the same ticket for any reason.. that would be amazing.

Isel said:

both very innovative in their stylings, i would be VERY interested to see what they could come up with together.


of course, they might just butt heads and end up with a piece of shit music!

yes, there was some quote like they "forgot the days," meaning even if you don't dig the newest stuff doesn't mean the older stuff never happened.

The Stevie that wrote Superstition is still with us, as is the Prince that wrote Let's Work.

And if a 20 year old Prince had gotten onstage with Stevie at that time, Stevie would have mopped Prince from the stage with years of hits, just like Prince was saying he'd do to D'Angelo & Beck.
