now let's start naming all the other artists who couldn't tour.. .
you can't be serious with that opener.
"I can't think of one artist who had a SOLID musical career who's touring income took a dive because of shitty modern product; it's a running joke that the Rolling Stones haven't dropped a good album in 3 decades."
Prince's record sales were pretty horrible all things considered, and imho if he trimmed the fat and released a 'blockbuster' album every 4-5 years he would still be selling major records. Speaking of Madonna, id argue her method was a bit better: continually trim down the fat and make the fanbase wait. Seems the only time it bit her in the ass is with this last LP which is a great run considering she's been fucking horrible since the 90s, lol (although production wise Confessions on a Dance Floor was a great album that stayed true to its word"
Actually they weren't. Even in the early nineties those records went Gold and Platinum.. .not the 25 million of Purple Rain but the bottom line is record companies have been robbing dudes.
Prince got them.
I'm riding for P on this one.
Fuck WB and Big Red Records Lol.
