Yeah...I honestly haven't followed Prince in ages. He looks like someone's kookoo out-of-it uncle playing super longdead music.

two good performances
yet u seem so worried about what he looks like though

naw that garbage was wack and boring. Prince ain't shown no Growth as a Artist in so long it ain't even funny.

that mess might have worked back in 83, played out in 93 and then downright tribute show act thereafter.

Sad, sad, sad.

It dosen't make sense.

Damn you're just reachin man. He went up there and tore it down and left that shit hummin.

that screwdriver performance was about a thousand times better than the boring version they released online

but i'll also say this - he comes off as the antithesis of hip. he's trying so hard... :/

i hope he someday learns how to age less self-consciously in every sense of the word. we don't need more guitar solo faces, absurd gesticulations, or goofy clothing. I'd almost rather he'd start pulling a Bob Dylan: just show up, sit on a stool, and play. The jumping and the flailing just don't fit him anymore, and that's okay.

Probably be better for it.

Nah, he's in shape and he plays electric guitar. An electric guitarist is 'sposed to move and groove standing up with the faces etc. That is what is meant to be.

Only thing Prince needs to do is make sure he spends excessive amounts of time wah-wahing on a wah pedal like there's no tomorrow. THAT'S what is definitely needed to complete what an in-shape electric soul-funk-rock electric guitarist is 'sposed to be up there doing.

esp. since Prince got a drummer playing double-bass drum kit. Gotta wah-wah it up it up in that scenario.

edit: another thing that needs to be said is that in Rock&Roll, there's always has to be an appreciation for the "just tossed-off"/caricature type of performance. Meaning, not everything in Rock&Roll is supposed to be a 5 star "perfect" "everything is on-point" type of deal. Some records or performances have to have that: "just crashing and burning in a careless half-way effort" thing.

Jimi gave plenty of those type of performances, so did the Doors and Nirvana and some say Led Zep's "The song remains the same" movie captured them barely up to their standards. That's what rock is. Sometimes in rock, a 3 star or 2 and a half star record is more "rock" than a 4 or 5 star record, 'cause Rock is supposed to be about throwing out some "not so perfect junk" sometimes.

Like Mitch Mitchell of the Experience said the song "The Stars that play with laughing sam's dice" was a crap song, yet I bet some people think that song is probably one of Jimi's most "rock" songs, because it is so "crash and burn".

I think I understand what you're saying and I largely agree. I really wouldn't place these performances in that same sphere...

~ i could still snort you under the table ~

have you ever seen a Prince show?

b/c he does that in his shows. there's almost always a portion of the show where he sits on a stool and plays acoustic guitar. or sits at a piano and plays. no frills, no jumping around, no band. just him, the instrument, the songs and the audience.

and when that's over he gets up and works it the hell out w/the full band backing again.

but if he spent the entire show doing that i'd be bored for 3 hrs. he's not a Folk act. LOL

fuck you.

lol, hopefully i've been around here long enough that you know i've seen dude multiple times. i know he always has that section, and that's cool.

the bob dylan quip was an intentional exaggeration - my point, more than anything, is that the older he gets, the more it all looks ridiculous. i especially dislike it when he's in rock mode - it feels especially fake because he's trying so hard to make it look sincere.

he still has the energy and the charisma, i'm not saying he needs to literally sit in a chair for a performance. but i'd probably pay more attention these days if he took half the energy he spends on doing those dumb facial contortions when he's playing the guitar, and invested that energy in - um, writing better music.

And I completely recognize that this comment is, um, ageist... but I think in this case, it's completely appropriate.

but if folks like it, then cool - and I'd still shell out the dough to see him again if I had the chance.

he seems to be wanting to do a fun thing with some energy. I didn't see him acting sincere or anything like that. He seemed to do the sincere thing with the song and video "Dolphin" from way back - I wasn't too into the serious vibe on that.

He's throwing some stuff out there in a style he's highly capable of rocking. Focusing on making unique individual stand-alone songs would slow down the fun and energy. Ripping through some caricaturish energized funk rock (hopefully wah-wahed all the way out) obviously can get him and the audience going - with less "...eh" factor of one vastly different song after the other.

He needs to be sustaining a mood and that seems like what Prince has finally realized.

I found the performance to be fairly enjoyable but oddly uninspiring... and borderline corny.

I was scared to say it here, though... and really, there's no point in saying it unless one is trying to troll.

It is what it is. If it is not what you're into, then drive on.

Not hating... just stating.

I figure I've made enough Prince posts (though admittedly not in a long time) and keep out of these discussions enough to not be a mere troll...

but I'll also admit that I've been feeling a bit more snarky about Prince lately... so whatever.

turkey trying to act like he is pimping some white girls on some part time Rev Al Sharpton Meets Hugh Hefner. Prince's routine and sound is long played out and tired.

Prince is bored his ownself because he knows that mess is 3rd tier level at best.

I like the Koch Brothers reference Black made...makes a lot of sense...And that makes u Mitt Romney, right?

The irony is Kap is not even echoing your deluded barking on all things Prince...

ain't nothing sadder than Prince fans overdosing on watered purple koolaid that tastes more like crystal with no delight.


his band suck 1)

his vocals are horror and bull 2)

and this turkey use to bring it and have something, but that was 25-30 years back. 3)

screwdriver was a Lenny Kravitz lounge karoke routine 4)

bambi was ok, his playing was cool, however vocally he was horror and bull, turkey started pulling a bob dylan thing around the 2nd verse. he sounded off and that band was off. 5)

i felt for Kirk, because nobody should mess with your instrument. Prince outta be lucky that wasn't the old Apollo and the sandman didn't toss him, that band and that rug on his head up in the air. 6)

nothing more embarassing them seeing a Relic still thinking they are happening. 7)

Prince vocally now sounds more constipated than Ben Harper, except at least Harper is comfortable in his music skin. 8)

all this and yet he is still better than R Kelly, Rick, MJ, Cody, etc etc etc

Negro please!

Prince was never on Michael Jackson's level. neva ever.

Michael Jackson didn't have to showboat because well he was the standard.

Prince past age 30 never wrote a better song than "stranger in moscow"

matter of fact in the real world Prince is seen as a yesteryear relic who use to be happening.

Prince can't touch no R.Kelly on creativity. R.Kelly brought back more acts and helped more younger ones.

Kellz is over in Africa ripping the stages up. he ain't thinking about some busted wanna be Rev Al Sharpton meets Hugh Hefner played out Huggie Bear with a broke no charlie's angels Beckys.

in truth R.Kelly could bring Prince back in R&B.
