He should give Trent Reznor a call. He knows a thing or two about being successful without a record label.

Or Radiohead.

Luckily for NIN fans, Trent Reznor is not quite as paranoid as Prince

This is what we need…real music by a real musician. Forget the sugar on the radio for real music.

Prince has released music without the help of record labels since the mid-nineties, long before Radiohead and other artists (remember the Webby Award for 1997’s Crystal Ball?). He surely knows how, but he wants to have it exactly his way. Genius is all I can say.

Trent actually attended the private show did at his home when he released 3121. It was the same show that people who got the purple ticket from the 3121 album. But the only person Prince listens to is himself,so I would be surprised if he decides not to release the album at all.

Prince knows exactly what he is doing… and doesn’t actually need help from anyone- its all to help build enthuasium. i look forwad to new music from prince, he is about the only reason i am proud to say i am from minnesota.

yea… just one one reason to be proud to be from minnesota, are you wacky? minnesota is a gorgeous state filled with good people, period… ohh and great music, listen to the alarmists

P doesn’t need nobody to tell him how to do stuff without a record label. He originated that shit.

Actually, Prince has recorded without a record company for years, but has relied on them to actually manufacture and distribute for him. Usually, He just does a “one-off” deal with them so he’s not tied to a company beyond the one release at that time. I assume that he means that he wants to release and distribute without a record company as well. Seems entirely doable at this point for an artist of his stature and financial level. Aside from that, It’s exciting to hear that he’s possibly putting together an album heavy on guitars, ‘cuase he’s a genius with the guitar and it’d be great to hear him really go for it on an entire album. Turn it all the way to 11, Prince!

i completely support any artist that circumvents record companies. they have price-gouging and lording over the radio for too long. i hope prince succeeds in completely cutting them out, including distribution and manufacturing. it will make a great template for the real talent out there to get records released and out to the people without having to sell their souls to the corporations.

Another thing to look forward to in 2009. Now if only His Royal Badness will decide to tour again!

Amazing! This collection of leaked tracks are some of his very best work in years! This CD is going to be a classic!

Thanks Prince 4ever!

Check it y’all

Feed the world!
Merry Xmas everyone…

Masterrecording s!!!

I heard 2 late-didnt catch the the cast…any way 2 hear them now? I DONT WANT 2 DOWNLOAD them…just hear…although I once was a lifelong admirer, who now thinks his last few attempts have been pretty weak, and that he has turned straight up jackass especially to fams…I guess that I will always be curious, and HOPE that he still can get out of his own way and dig 4 the brilliance that I followed and loved for almost 30 years

Why doesnt he just do a Radiohead?

Because Radiohead still needed a label to get their CD in stores.

poem to Prince in thanks
2u

a wonderman with musical plans
eroica’s lyrical cosmic child
if mozart was living in this present age
perchance he’d play the keyboards for your band
* * * * * * *

i heard your new songs via HQ’s radio show
i felt suspended in the here and now
it’s been so long since i felt this way
reflecting on past excitations as you played
recalling the moments of your past shows
how innately and indomitably you took the stage
smiling at the multitudes with unique style
the music you gave touched my heart
while nova stars beamed back in rhythms to your sounds

everytime you touched the guitar strings
seemed the vibrations bounced off heavens door
they echoed back over the crowd
i saw me, climbing riffing magical stairs
audaciously the time stood still,
i moved my body, your voice moved my soul
magically all the people moved aside
i feigned you played just for me
from the centerstage inside my mind

now your creativity you’ve shared once again
the messages you translated from your muses codes
my soul echos a sweet reflective refrain
many accolades 2 u for your music and songs
truly i thank God for you being in this space and time.
i’m proud to know of you in this millennium
my childrens children will know your name
they too will dance, sing and create to your melodies

thank you Prince Rodgers Nelson

correction: Prince “Rogers” Nelson

, how u say, I wonder u, I wonder u I, how u say,

I wonder u, I wonder u I, dream of u, 4 all time,
4 all time Though, u are far, I wonder u, u’re on
the mind I, how u say, I wonder u, I wonder u

“We are now making our final approach to satisfaction. Please bring your lips, your arms, your hips into the up and locked position for landing,”

what day and tv or radio url do i go to to see this

Has a release date or tenative date been given yet?

Remedial Hendrix: That’s actually a bite of Jimi’s version of “Wild Thing” by the Troggs, not “Foxy Lady.”

What jz said; do your homework.
The Troggs version even is in your your magazines’ 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time list. Allthough wikipedia says there’s a part of Foxy Lady lyrics in there, I think it’s simply an alteration he made to the Troggs’ verse “wild thing, I think I love you”.

You are so handsome prince keep the wonderful music comming my way! I LUV You!!!

Words cannot express how his music touches me, and touches me literaly in ways that I never thought possible and oh he is so beautiful and clean and so I say the Love of his life and in spirit I believe he knows it PS No I am not a stalker, and No I do not own any thing of his but all that I need his Art
