Prince's NPG Music Club website
Published July 31, 2005
You're still one of the greatest American musicians, play a mean guitar (along with almost every other instrument), sing like the devil and all that, but the site could be a lot more, well, fun. That said, I'm thrilled to be a member, and already paid to download 2 albums, but that's just me. However, the track downloads are clunky and not user friendly. I followed the instructions to the letter but it all went wrong and nothing would play. It's taken over half an hour with your tech support people, who only work Californian hours, and it's not been sorted yet. HOPEFULLY it will all get sorted in the end.
And why should I have to download each track of a CD separately? I ought to be able to simply download the whole album in one simple operation. And why don't you include some information? You know, who played what on which tracks, production credits, the making of, that kind of thing. Printable artwork would be nice too. So you missed out on the chance to cross-sell other stuff by keeping me current and you didn't enhance the music. SLOPPY!
What's that? What about the music, you say? Well, that's another story for another day. You're still one of the coolest creatures that ever walked this Earth but nowadays I guess we're hearing the same music but somehow dancing to a different tune...

WHAT IS THE POINT IN HAVING A WEB SITE IF YOU CAN.T EXPLAIN WHAT PROBLEM'S WHICH WE WANT TO AVE OUR SAY ABOUT.I DON'T REALLY CARE WHO PRINCE THINKS HE IS BUT HE SHOULD BE MAN ENOUGH TO TAKE CRITICISM.HE HAS DISAPOINTED THOUSANDS OF FANS IN THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND AND SHOULD RESPECT US A WEE BIT BETTER AND TELL US WHY HE HAS PULLED OUT OF HIS GIG.I THINK THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND DESERVE BETTER THEN A STATEMENT SAYIND AND I QUOATE"REASONS BEYOND OUR CONTROLL".
I love prince !!!! He has taught me about God,when my parents didn't; I really don't know where I would be in my life without the word that that Prince has brought me. God has put this blessed man in our lives to learn. Why is that everyone is saying that he is mysterious? He is a Saved Man!!! Look up this man let you know about all worldlythings before they happen oops 1999. I in my own opinon will live to be patient to learn everything I can about Prince,because he is all that he is a prophet
Personally, I love Prince despite his weird beliefs...

I agree with all the ass kissing, as his royal baddness is a musical GOD and overall my favorite humanbeing, that I do not know personally. I would greatly appreciate, a podcast that included some insights into music, life and anything else that woiuld help me understand Prince and his understanding of music, he is a mystery and I know there is a reason for that, but I think it would mean alot to his fans. My prayer....
Thank you
