Anx I am postitively sure I am in love with u...

Graycap23 said:

And there you have it... All will be revealed in the coming weeks/months. If the opening line ain't "Dance the dance electric", or a BLATANT reference to that song, then that's the end of Graycap's integrity in my eyes.

toejam said:

But will anybody remember to pull the little prankster all that time away? OR will his 'insider' knowledge just come back with a "prince changed the tracklisting" comment?

All will be revealed

greycap should write speeches for the bush administration.

Graycap23 said:

No disrespect to you or Giovanni because I have no beef with either of you but, if I were to have an inside track to what was going on, wouldn't the right thing to do be not to leak it on the internet? Honest question.

Lothan said:

THANK YOU

Anx you are on a roll with this thread.

I sincerely don't say this to be disrespectful but I read Graycap's username as "Gaycrap" in my head.

yall aint rite.Why are yall being so mean?

PleasurePrinciple said:

Because he has yet to prove that he actually knows what he's talking about (is an 'insider'). It started with this thread: http://www.prince.org/msg...1009?&pg=1 Furthermore, when people try to get him to reveal more details or point out inconsistencies in his posts he flips it and says we don't understand or Prince changed his mind.

People who are really in the know don't post vague shit...they say, "I know x, y, or z" and answer questions to the best of their ability, without being all cryptic. (Check out Jseven's threads, for example.) Graycap is all about trying to be mysterious and vague. And the bottom line is that none of what he's "claimed" to know has ever come to fruition (as far I can remember).

I actually have more faith in this post at Housequake (even though I'm not familiar with his posts) than I am with anything that Graycap posts. No beating around the bush, just "here's what I know" in straightforward language.

I was anticipating Prince and Tony M.making a rap album together.

The title of this thread misleads and SHOULD say:

“SPECULATION. . .The New CD. . .sounds like”.


When I read this I see that what he knows is what anyone who has listened to what Prince has been playing for the last year would know. I haven’t been to a show since Musicology and I can figure out from the reviews that he has been playing a heavier styled music with the guitar and the bass. If you go to 3121.com you can hear the music’s not light.

If we are throwing speculation then mine is that it could be a heavy European rock styled album because of many of the cover songs that have been played, his interest in current European artists, and his stay in London.



“The Dance Electric”
Prince

Opening line is:

Good morning children
Take a look out your window
Our world is falling
It's almost time 2 go

Lothan said:

Why bother is correct.

Well, I like Gaycrap...I mean Graycap!...He seems like s decent chap (or chapess) and when theres no official news coming from the Prince camp he at least gives us something to talk about...whether he turns out to be right or wrong doesn't really matter. I mean, no one is going to die because of it...unless its dying of laughter at some of the responses he gets. Its all good fun, I say, and to be fair he has been right once or twice in the past.

Rock on, good sir.

not sure why everyone cares that its a rock album, Chaos and Disorder was an awesome rock album and it was panned universally by critics and non-fans. Only true fans seem to get that album.

If P wants more commercial success, I think he needs to go down the funk/ballad (non falsetto) route. Most non-P fans see funk as his trademark. It was Purple rain the last time that he had a rock hit (or am i wrong)? Outside the FAN world P is known for the funk.

vinx98 said:

His biggest hits have usually been a combination of funk with a healthy dose of rock guitar worked in, they cross over to a variety of fans. When Doves Cry tore up a dance floor, but was also full of borderline psychedlic guitar. I think that's why the lastest stuff hasn't churned out big hits: it's either straight funk/R&B(musicology, black sweat) or straight rock (fury, guitar, cinammon girl).

MendesCity said:

Exactly!!!! It irks me so much when folks say that Prince should do staight-up rock or straight-up funk blah blah blah. He was never a straight-up anything artist. What made him so innovative was his synthesis of black and white music styles. The brother can do karaoke in his sleep!

I been thinking, I wonder if 'chemical Ali' was a Prince fan....

Come again...

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Thank you so much for this. I really needed a good laugh today!

LIFE on Earth.....and the things we go through.

Lothan said:

I haven't leaked anything I've been trusted with. I've been trusted with info that none of U would believe, and that I would never leak. I've just said that the new album was done (which it was), and that most folks here should be pleased. It's clear now 2 me that I shouldn't even have done that.

Basically, I won't be posting anything like this again 2 help anyone.

I've said many times that I won't say any more out of RESPECT, which U all either ignore or don't understand.

See Ya.

Q: When is a leak, NOT a LEAK?

Giovanni777 said:

by your use of the word "help".

Funkmeimfamous said:

Altho, I am still happy to have him at least make ALBUMS that attempt diversity, even if it's song by song. It's more than most artists can pull off. I think the last track that really attempted that old-school mix of styles was "The Word," but unfortunately the overly preachy lyrics kept it away from "hit single" territory.

Graycap23 said:

Not sure where you're going with this one, my brother, but PLEASE take that comma out between "Leak" and "NOT".

has anyone considered the fact that anyone who knows anything worth knowing has signed a confidentiality agreement, and is CONtractually bound to keep their damn mouths shut?

sosgemini said:

...and that's all U can say... and you're a MOD.

U know what? You're right. This site is better left with all the non-musicians and gossip-crazed fans, who would rather talk about Prince's hair, what he wears, who his next "girlfriend" will be, what his ex wifes R doing, and thinking that 'The Gold Experience' was the best Prince album of the '90s.

Giovanni777 said:

you're absolutely right. your and graycap's vague claims to insider-ness really brought a level of substance to the org that we were sorely lacking.
