Giovanni777 said: RodeoSchro said: Well sure you did. Telling him to be careful implied you knew he was about to say something you knew shouldn't be said. I know your intent wasn't malicious, though. It just led to unintended consequences. And frankly, it's not interesting to me. I don't want to know advance information on the album. I like getting it when it's ready to be gotten. About the only thing I want to know is when will Prince be playing Houston/state of Texas. And, of course, how I can get tickets ala the old NPGMC. Other than that, I like waking up every day thinking, "Hey, Prince might bust something out on the Net today". More fun that way. Very sensible and accurate. However, it was a joke, and it was actually more related 2 the harpooning Gray knew he was going 2 get by making the post. The beauty of all of this is the TRUTH. That simple. | |

Giovanni777 said: Raze said: Also, you still haven't answered my question that I've asked twice now. When I started a thread a couple of weeks ago asking if Guitar was a 3121 outtake or if it was recorded along with stuff from the new album, you didn't say anything. You posted on the thread, but didn't feel the need to comment on my question. Surely that would have been the ideal time to post some cryptic information. Because if you actually knew something, surely some of the things you'd know were that it had been-rerecorded, that a video had been shot, that it was getting a major promotional push through wireless commercials and that it was the lead single to the album. But no, nothing. Why not? Because you probably don't actually know anything. Seems to me that would have been something you'd commented on back at the time.
[Edited 6/5/07 11:56am] Sorry I didn't answer. I knew nothing about it's potential inclusion on this album. That's probably why i didn't comment on it. Peace. Okay, well that pretty much says it. You didn't know it had been re-recorded as the first single for the album, that a video had been shot and that it was going to be used in a large scale television commercial promotion within less than 2 weeks. If you didnt' know that, I'm sorry, but I can't believe you know anything at all. "Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you." - Kahlil Gibran | |

I'm rather shocked U don't know this. The stuff I was trusted with goes far beyond a re-recording, a video, and a commercial anyway. Believe what U want. U will anyway. By the way, "RAZE", there R a few other major artists that have trusted me and still do. It is not so unbelievable 4 someone like me 2 know things in this world of music.

Oh yeah, believe me - I remember Gray's predictions from last year. It was not a lovely sight and I was right in the middle of it all. Probably not my finest moment. | |

Giovanni777 said: WHAT???
I have no pics of anyone, and no-one ever said that. ANX randomly said that might be why I say things like "This album will be considerably different than either 'Musicology' or '3121', and from what I heard, it should please the "true" Prince heads." 2 get attention, or get nude pics in my org notes. It was ridiculous, and he knows it. You have NO NUDE PICS? Then all my posting/begging has been FOR NAUGHT?!?!? | |

"The track is on the album and is the lead single" seems to be pretty standard information if you are saying that you know that the album doesn't sound like Musicology or 3121 No. Not how Prince works. There is very little "standard information". The inclusion or omission of "Guitar" has little 2 do with the overall flavor of the album. With Prince especially, moreso than perhaps any other artist, one song doesn't dictate (or indicate) the sound of the album. There R examples of the contrary, however, such as the best example of a Prince album having a unified sound... 'Lovesexy'. SIMPLE: I wasn't told about the plans for 'Guitar'.

You are just trying to imply that Prince must be telling you stuff and you are his messenger! You will say you imply nothing, the usual crap, but that is what you are doing. It's just lame, and even if you were his 'best friend', why all the bullshit?? Just talk straight. That's what bugs people. | |

I don't want inside information but I am curious as to what Gray and Giovanni do for a living.
Myself, I'm a banker. No inside information here, although I'm told Prince banks with us. I could look at his stuff, I guess, but I never have (nor will I). It's not my business in any sense of the word. [Edited 6/5/07 12:50pm] | |

You're a liar, it's as simple as that. And I don't have any problem calling you that, and unlike other people, I'm not going to try to smooth it over when you take offense to it.
