Members gbassman100 Posted February 5, 2006 Members Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hey, people are calling him Prince again. I guess he's now the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince. I wonder, why do extreme weirdness and talent so often reside in the same person?

Diddy, Diddlydidlydoo.. whatever his name is, Prince's name change had a purpose. He was trapped in a contract with a recording company, and couldn't publish any music as "Prince" until May of 2000 when the contract expired. So between 1993-2000 he released music as "the artist" or that wacky symbol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members T. Alan Smith Posted February 5, 2006 Members Share Posted February 5, 2006 My wife an' I just missed front-n-center balcony seats at the Chicago Theatre for Prince a couple years back. If you've ever been to a performance there, you'd realize your practically looking straight down on the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't extreme weirdness, it was a legal strategy. Warner Brothers would not let him out of his contract, and would not renegotiate. He wanted to make records his way, and they weren't having it. So he gave them enough master tapes to release 10 years of "Prince" records, thus fulfilling the contract, and changed his name to the symbol until the Warner Contract expired. It expired in 2002, thus, He's Prince again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bholder Posted February 5, 2006 Members Share Posted February 5, 2006 What "Prince" really needs to do is take a cue from Zappa and release a series of "Shutup And Play Your Guitar" albums. I love his playing, and while I can appreciate his talent, I don't really like the styles he prefers in most of his songwriting and singing.

Members hoerni Posted February 6, 2006 Members Share Posted February 6, 2006 Originally posted by james on bass He's a great bass player as well, and I've heard he's a pretty good drummer. Here's a clip of him playing bass Prince and NPG We saw him in concert twice last year. At one point he was playing a J-bass and did a slap duet with Rhonda. They even quoted Lopsy Lu. The show was full of little referencial riffs, like Eruption during his guitar solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appearently you guys are completely ignorant and lack an ability to understand the Funk, Jazz, Blues,Rock,Reggae, R&B, Pop, Alternative, New Wave, and Minneapolis sound elements present in the music of PRINCE. Do yourself a favor and take a music appreciation class. Then before you have the audacity to criticize PRINCE learn to play..... guitar, BASS guitar, piano, keyboards, synthesizer, clavinet, drums, percussion, saxophone, harmonica and sing bass, tenor, alto, or soprano! Shut up already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
