Every sunday Aftonbladet has a magazine you can buy with the regular paper, called Aftonbladet Söndag. You can not read that one on the internet.
today there is a 6 pageg long interview with Roxette. With some great photos, which I’ve never seen before. Actually I don’t think I’ve seen any of the photos before.
It’s a really good interview. And lot’s of funny facts. About the China gig and pretty much everything else.
And that Coca Cola had bought half the Joyride tour and Pepsi the other half, so Roxette made lot’s of money on that.
And Per says the music climate today is pathetic, with Kelly Clarkson and Idol, fast made productions just to make money fast.
Hopefully some Swede can scan it and upload it.
I’m gonna try to find the best part and translate it.
My suggestion to all the swedes out there, buy it! It’s worth the 10+5 kronor.

Maybe someone should buy several copies and sell them on eBay, potential for profit!
GT_85 said on October 15, 2006 13:49:
Have no scanner. Sorry.
In the interview Per says the best intro in the world is the “yeah yeah yeah” in Dressed for succes.
He stole the phrase “never was a quitter” (The Look), from a Nick Lowe song, “Born Fighter”.
He also says that Roxette sells houndreds of thousends records each year to a new audience. Just because there is a time-less quality. Who buys a Back street boys-record today, per asks.
He also says The Look is their best song.

The major reason to buy it is the pictures. The interview is a short summary of theur carreer.
Marie says she can very well record a new album with Per.
Per says, it can be more (than One Wish)
Best news today. :)

I think per and marie where just seeing how many roxette fans still remember them, i mean its knocking on 6 years since there last studio album RS ow my!
GT_85 said on October 15, 2006 13:55:
Back in 1999 Per didn’t wanna be in their videos. He wasn’t really satisified with his looks. He was too heavy.
And Marie says he looks much better now. :)

GT_85 said on October 15, 2006 14:42:
There is one new picture, from the “roxette room” in the EMI office.
Pascal said on October 15, 2006 14:44:
That would be really interesting to read. Maybe someone who can translate the interview and put it on the front page of TDR ?

It’s long, but there’s no really new info there. Bits and pieces maybe. I wasted 14 SEK... :)
Pascal said on October 15, 2006 17:08:
Oh, I didn’t know the things GT_85 wrote, and I think many Roxette fans didn’t know. Maybe it could be nice to highlight these pieces in an article on the frontpage.

Thanks for scanning Tev ;) But why is it not on the site? There’s been Sunday interviews before and they always made it on the web. Anyway luckily my friend was able to get her hands on a copy for me!
