Last one was in the Sunday Mail a few years back.


Prince makes more money this way No Middle men
No Record Comapy - just him.




Live Gigs is now how Stars make the Bigger Cash Flow.

Yeah, I love the irony of this. It's like Metallica releasing an album free with the Metro with instructions on how to rip and share it on Pirate Bay.

Got my copy. Not too bad on first listen of the first few tracks.

Can't stand the man.

Can't stand the man.


He Don't mind.


Since 1978 he has been playing some cool guitar licks.
Thats good enough for me.

Oh crap - I got the one in 2007 but I've been too ill to get this, probably sold out now :(

Ah well. Someone'll upload it.

Prince declares "The internet's completely over"...


Unlike most other rock stars, he has banned YouTube and iTunes from using any of his music and has even closed down his own official website.

He says: "The internet's completely over. I don't see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won't pay me an advance for it and then they get angry when they can't get it.

"The internet's like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good.

"They just fill your head with numbers and that can't be good for you."

He's living in the past. He could expand his audience with digital music. Oh well, his loss.

I know who Prince is, but can someone please explain the "artist formally known as prince thing"

In the 1990's, he changed his name to this unpronouncable symbol.

So people called him the Artist Formerly Known as Prince for convenience. The reason he did this is because he felt Warner Bros. were giving him a raw deal and limiting his creative freedom so he didn't want the albums he would release under Warner Records to bear his real name. He changed his name back to Prince in 2000. This was when his contract with Warner Records ended.

You MUST have heard When Doves Cry? Kiss? Purple Rain?! (even if you've only heard the latter by Ruth Lorenzo ¬__¬)

Never heard if the first two. But yes I know Purple Rain! Had no idea who it was by though.

Prince is such an icon, I bought his Greatest Hits on a whim for £4 and never regretted it. Always worth a good listen!
