Hello roxers all over the world, this is a message to Marie and Per. Let‘s make a new album in the 1994 style. That was your best music you have ever done in my opinion. Cheers Christian

FireDiamond said on :

Christian, I couldn’t agree more with you! That was truly Roxette at their very best!

Sadly enough lately every fan voice for a new album is considered almost as dogmatic. And I say, where’s the harm in saying out loud -
“we miss you so much!”, “we want to hear from you again”...

And yes, it’ll be a real dream-come-true if what you wish happens. I often fancy the perfect new Rox album with the acoustic beauties and the solid fast tracks from those days. In that day-dream there’s also an unplugged tour where Marie could sing easy and comfortable and all of us are happy...

But we both know well that these dreams are most probably never to happen... but then again... there’s no harm in dreaming either!

Cheers

And here we go again.... I will start an Excel sheet to have an account of all the threads (like this) that we had before.

Roxy said on :

Oh please 7-twenty-7, where is the harm in dreaming and discussing that we all mis Roxette. Yes there may be countless threads about wanting them back, but hey it is still a good subject!! :) You should join us instead :)
Hey, I’d like a new Look Sharp!-ish album! That is my all time Rox fave!! :) But that might be because I’m an 80’s gal ! :)
Crash! Boom! Bang! was really great, but when I think Roxette I think Joyride and Look Sharp! :)
I’d love a tour, but I’ve given that dream up, though :O

7 years since Room service , lord time flys.

7-Twenty-7 said on :

Sorry, but since this kind of ’petitions’ are not going to influence Per/Marie/Clarence/Dimberg/the guy next door’s decisions, this is a total waste of time and effort. This is no more than a wishful thinking. We can open a thousand and one threads, send a letter to the king Carl XVI Gustaf or make an invocation to all the elves in Scandinavia... but I am afraid that’s not enough to convince Per or Marie. It’s all up to them. This is too naïve in my eyes.

One thread like this is nice (and almost cute), two threads is acceptable... but so many, it starts to be boring (and even annoying).

pwbbounce (moderator) said on :

I agree with 7-Twenty-7, how many threads are people going to continue to start on this subject??? I still have hope for a new album, I know that there probably isn’t going to be one, but you can always hope.

Can’t we get this thread closed? There are countless others to comment on, we don’t need a new one!!

ket-ket said on :

I think its absolutelly normall to say that we dream about ner roxette songs,of courese we can do more,write more about many interesting subjects,but for god sake, we are on roxette’s web,and we still are rox fans,and not shadows fans:) let us even dreaming

whateveriam said on :

No one’s implying you’re not fans, but surely you can start using resurrecting old threads instead of starting yet another thread? Is it really so hard, to make that teeny-tiny bit of effort and find an old one, rather then waste time repeating yourself? No one’s stopping you from dreaming, but really I’m getting sick of these pointless threads, because everyone reaches the same stalemate - no new album is forthcoming, and by the looks of things, will ever be.

ket-ket said on :

ok than,lets speak about how hard is life from ppl whose suffering from hungriness,or about wars,its more important and interesting,lets stop to speak about roxette,as i can see its too boring,and foolish.no more albums,no more songs:)

whateveriam said on :

Fine, but make sure it’s in Off-Topic, OK? ;-)

Roxy said on :

Okay, 7-twenty-7!! I’ve had it with this. How can wishful thinking be a waste of time and effort?????! I enjoy talking to other Rox fans about how I’d wish they’d make a new album! I’m NOT in here to oush them into making something new, that is 100% their decision! But wishing and talking about wishing is something I and probably many others enjoy! So stop being so damn negative!!!

whateveriam said on :

Sure, but make one thread to discuss it and STICK with it. We don’t need 1001 bloody threads saying exactly the same thing!

Kathrin said on :

OK, but then you should link one of those Threads and then close the other ones!
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Have Fun!!!

whateveriam said on :

How can I close it you silly girl? I’m not a moderator...which is a blessing really for all parties!

7-Twenty-7 said on :

I am not negative but realistic, darling. We’ve had threads like this before, but I am afraid all those old dreams didn’t come true, did they?

mixella1 said on :

Christian it looks like you’ve been crucified . But don’t worry, they are not bad ppl, just bored.
For the rest of the world, tell me who stays enough on line for example to study witch thread is similar in so many pages of threads. I think ppl are trying to say that they miss Roxette so much, it’s like you want to scream: I want more, more... of you. On this site especially, because you read about them, you remember the good times and you feel like you want to say something. When you feel like this you do not start to look for older threads, you start a new one hopping to find someone who feels the same way about Roxette in that moment especially. An this is the purpose of a forum to allow ppl saying what they feel like on a particular time, being understanding with one another. Why assault someone like that, trying to be ironic but only being evil. You can move this thread directly into another one that you consider being similar and announce that person that it’s similar. Please , this is just an opinion and not the end of the world. Hope so...

7-Twenty-7 said on :

Here you have:

http://www2.dailyroxette.com/node/16584

Go there and enjoy your little party of dreamers. It was started by ’christian’ as well (my God, what a coincidence!). Seems like christian is unable to trace even his own threads, I wonder why. It’s not THAT difficult.

mixella1 said on :

you enter what words on the search string there? how u search for an already thread about roxette, for example lets say i want to say something about them like how is marie feeling , she has cure herself? how can i search, I enter there on the search field on the right the words: feel, marie, health? How did you dig up the thread about what Christian said?

Roxette-atic said on :

People are strange.... sure there are many “we miss Roxette-topics”, but SO WHAT if there is another one?? dont you have anything more important to whine about? No one is forcing you to click on the subject and read it.the title of the topic often gives a clue about what the topic will be about... So if you see another topic that is called ” Please roxette come back”...then simply dont open it please and you wont have to whine. Making comments about how people are wasting time with these topics is ALSO a waste of time. The Daily Roxette is a FANTASTIC site..but if there is anyhting more annoying than “We Miss roxette-topics” it would have to be all these moderator-wannabes who always feel that they just have to make remarks about how stupid/repetitious other peoples topics are.

first girl on t... said on :

2 Roxette-atic: BRAVO!!!

What I don’t understand is why read comments that you don’t like. And what I don’t understand still more is why make comments on the topic you don’t like. Isn’t it silly? Let moderators do their job. Don’t you have anything better to do? PEACE!!!

Taschi said on :

Hi guys,
I just want to say, please be careful in your words against Christian.
If you all don’t like these discussions, don’t open it and read them... but don’t make an assault on the person, who opened it. That’s not fair!!!
Cheers
Natascha

7-Twenty-7 said on :

Not opening the thread is not the point. I also joined other forums about other artists I like as well. And nobody there is so childish an immature as the Roxette fans, sorry. Threads like this, full of begs and demands, are a real proof. I asume we are not teenagers anymore, everybody here must be older than 25. Why do you act like a spoiled brat then? This guy opened a similar topic some weeks ago, does he really need to open another to say exactly the same?

Why can’t you take what these artists have to offer, why do you have a say in their career all the time? You have no right to say (or even suggest) in which style they have to record their songs. That’s not fair!!!

Bingo. Got it in one.

Christian, I admire your relentless optimism, but please, just open and stick to one thread. Pretty please?

BTW, I’m not 25 yet, I’m 19!

mixella1 said on :

please enter the definition of a fan, we the rest dont know it, it seems that you have to not say anything, not beg, not nothing at all. And of course you have to not behave like a child and not ask Marie and Per anything. If you are a musician do not listen to anybody, don’t even read what your fans are saying and please why bother to make a CD couse we are not allow to listen and form an oppinion, There’s martial law here installed :))

Calm down ppl, I think everybody is allow to an opinion even christian, Maybe he is not familiar with English language and he is not a computer freak that knows how to reveal his own posts. Maybe he thought that this is another thread and he really found ppl to listen to what he was saying. What is wrong with you! If you are bored to read what childish fans from Roxette have to say, why bother writing here?

I thing both of you are just mean. 7-something-7 and whateveri am not .

Stop flaming the forum!

whateveriam said on :

oooooohhhhh....

christian said on :

Hello roxers;
I just come from work and see so many opinions. Of course everybody can think what they want and as a “fan” in my opinion you always have to think postive. That‘s the right way in every situation of life.:-)

When I was no “fan” in my opinion I wasn‘t in this forum. This is a forum for fans.

What were we without dreams? Everbody has dreams... and as a roxette fan I dream of new material. If real or “almost unreal” doesn‘t matter I think.

Think positive and everything will be good. :-)

Rox on and cheers

Christian

whateveriam said on :

Well, it’s a real dream to you, and I suppose that is the most important thing. Whether it happens or not is another matter.

ket-ket said on :

you’re right mixella,i share your opinion,we are free,and we can say what we want to ,and who does not likes it can keep away ,to not get his nerves.be more calm you’re so young to be wicked:) and what regards new projects of roxette,noyone knows how would it be.i did not expected anything new from roxette after ”room service” but in fact its happened.

first girl on t... said on :

This is so funny. People who don’t like this topic could you please just ignore it. Then everyone will be happy. What a silly behavior OMG taking part in a discussion just to insult others, it looks like you really enjoy it. Can’t you just respect others, I see nothing offensive at all in christian’s comment. Let the guy dream if he likes. There maybe thousand and one threads opened stating the same thing, but if moderators don’t care why should you? CBB is my fave too btw, I’d like to hear smth in that style as well. SO WHAT??? WHAT’S THE PROBLEM??? I hope Roxette will release a new album too, it’s just normal for a fan. DON’T YOU THINK SO??? Why do you act like you are 13, sorry, but you should really practice saying nice things to each other, you will get more satisfaction, I PROMISE!!! PEACE PEOPLE!!!

Jakubek said on :

Someone can call me childish, I don’t really give a shit, but I’m very happy and grateful that someone opened this thread. When we have recently some newses around from Marie or Per, but not from Roxette, I believe it’s good show that it is not enough for us and what we really want is a new ROXETTE album or some other sign of existing. I’m not saying it will help and push Marie & Per to do something but what we lose doing it?
This way we can just let them know that we are still here, waiting for new Roxette material and they still have people who they can record for!!

7-Twenty-7 said on :

Do you think they are going to record something in the style of CBB these days? Listen to ’Pratar med min müsli’ or “Ordet är farväl’ and you will get the answer...

By the way, if you all consider yourself a fan, that’s because you like the work they do. If not, better to move on and listen to someone else. If you don’t accept the music they want to record and suggest them to “change” or do “something different” (like happened here), that’s because you are no longer a fan, sorry.

Sorry, Jakubec, but do you think Per or Marie care if their solo work is enough or not for you? By the way, I am pretty sure they are aware we all are eager for a new Roxette album, no need to open a million threads in a forum they might not even check. And petitions like “Please, Per! Record a new Roxette album, we love you, pleaseeeeeeeeeee!” are hardly taken seriously by anybody.

Finally, to make the things even clearer: the problem is not the TOPIC in itself, but the fact some people start a thread about the same matter quite often. There’s no need to flood the board with the same over and over again.

first girl on t... said on :

2 7-Twenty-7:

*Do you think they are going to record something in the style of CBB these days?*

No I don’t think so. But CBB is still my fave, It doesn’t mean I don’t like other Rox albums, the fact is I LOVE THEM ALL. It’s like songs in the album. Some of them you like more, some less, it’s so normal. So what if I wish Rox repeat CBB sound (even knowing that’s it’s impossible)? I also wish to live in Bahamas and to have the latest model of Mercedes. Where is the harm in wishing? And how you can control wishing? DON’T YOU THINK IT’S IMPOSSIBLE???

*you all consider yourself a fan, that’s because you like the work they do*

Tell me the truth. Do you honestly love every song from every album equally? If not, then sorry, you are not a fan.

* no need to open a million threads in a forum they might not even check*

Sorry but that’s for moderators to decide. You are under no obligation to check this forum either. If you are so irritated, than I wonder WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE???

*petitions like “Please, Per! Record a new Roxette album, we love you, pleaseeeeeeeeeee!” are hardly taken seriously by anybody*

I know one person who take it very seriously. And that person is YOU and I don’t know what you are trying to proof. ALL THE BEST!!!

ket-ket said on :

its just your opinion,i cannot agree,i would not tell- Per please record something new,and its matters to me what Marie or Per would record,it must be something good and high quality as roxette used to,besids i love them together, i love roxette,and not their solo stuffs is not spetiall,its just for swedish fans,if they were not together they would not been such popular in whole world.so we have got different wishes and ideas about it,and no need to argue about it, i ll always say what i want and how i want. I wish listen to new Roxette s songs once again,and less theyr solo albums,its not so worthy as was roxette.its different style,and i cannot listen what i don’t like with pleasure, for just the reason that Per or Marie are singing.

CoyRoy said on :

Wow - Guys - some of you are really rude and some of you are so sweet and have said many wonderful things.

Let’s not fight. So, this is another thread about this topic of a wish for Roxette to comeback!! Let’s not be nasty to one another. I’m sure Per and Marie will be sad to know their beloved fans are fighting about stuff like this. Through their music they have brought us all closer to one another and that was their goal: To seek fans who will befriend one another and enjoy their music together!

I agree with both sides. There has been a lot of posts like these, but it’s not fair shooting it down. We are living in a free society where we can almost do what we like. If you hate posts like these, then simply IGNORE it and don’t write something nasty to those who begun them. Am I being fair??

Well, I too hope that Roxette will make something in the line of CBB and Joyride - just plain guitar pop/rock!! That’s what they’re good at.

Now - let’s all try to respect one another.... LOL

LOVE IS ALL!!!

CoyRoy said on January 12, 2008 17:42:

We are living in a free society where we can almost do what we like.

That’s what we were doing, exercising our (apparent) right to almost-free speech. I gave my opinion, and comments, perhaps not in the best way, but because you ’fans’ don’t like it because it’s less then bootlickingly positive, I’m wrong. So much for being fair. And to suggest that, because I’m not always as positive as certain other people, I’m any less of a fan? That’s a low blow even by my standards, hell, it’s disgusting. No person on this board should ever use that as a weapon or comeback. If you do, you are pathetic and quite frankly, not worthy of even my pity.

To get across the point, I’m no less of a fan then anyone else here. Yes, I may be critical at times and yes, I may not be as obsessed with them as I used to, but I still like them. If they ever drop a new album (be it a new CBB type album or whatever) I’ll be over the moon. But, I also accept that that may never happen.

And, I stand by my ’there’s nothing wrong with a thread like this, but can we open one and stick with it?’ statement. If you want it to be seen so desperately, make an effort to keep it in the Active Forum topics, perhaps? Maybe then it would allow a more evolved discussion.

7-Twenty-7 said on :

2 First girl on Mars:

You can’t be even more wrong. I don’t like every song from every album, that’s not the point. I even hate some songs they dared to release (like “Make my head go pop”).

But the the relation artist-audience is simple: “take it or leave it”. If you don’t like the work an artist is doing, just open the door and leave. Don’t persuade or suggest the artist to do something different, that’s plainly stupid. If their solo careers don’t fullfill your need of music, just ignore them. You are under no obligation to listen to that stuff. I am here because I still like the albums they record, even if that’s not Roxette. But I don’t come here to bring down to my knees and implore them to quit their solo careers and bring Roxette back to life again.

Topics that repeat a thousand times are annoying for anybody, it has nothing to do with moderators. The aim is to keep the board as much organized as possible. For example, there’s a thread to wish Per a happy birthday, more than 40 fans have posted there already. But someone else came and opened a new one... even with the same title! I have no explanation for it, is it possible that person didn’t see the original thread??? For God’s sake...

All I see is you are taking this discussion in a personal level. I suggest you to cool down a little, dear. I have nothing to proove, I just air my opinion in the same way to do. All the best ;)

Roxette-atic said on :

I think there is nothing wrong in exprecing a wish for a special sound...more rock or more dancestyle..or whatever... I think Per likes to hear comments like that. I have always believed that the reason Roxette released “Real Sugar” as the second single from Room Sevice was because all ( or most) fans hated the fact that roxette released two ballads after eachother on Have A nice Day. So I dont think Per minds if he reads “Please Per record something like Crash”. Its up to him if he listens or not. But what I want to say with this is that Per and Marie sometimes listens to the fans.

FireDiamond said on :

I so knew from the start that this was going to get ugly!

7-Twenty-7: tell me one thing - if you hate so much such topics WHY are YOU the most active one in this thread? if you’re so irritated by it don’t bother open it, cos you irritate me! there are other topics like this one, would you be so kind to give me the link to one where there are no ppl like yourself - rude, offensive and bitter!?

whateveriam: I don’t like being called childish because I’m not. I was not expressing a DEMAND, I was expressing a WISH - if you do not wish to see another rox album then what are you doing in TDR anyway? “you are pathetic and quite frankly, not worthy of even my pity” so ppl are not worthy your pity, but nevertheless you give them your sarcasm, how comes?

If TDR is no longer a place where you can freely express your love for roxette because of the bitterness and sarcasm of some ppl, now that’s something really sad!

CoyRoy: I’m happy to see that there is at least one sane person in this chaos! :o)

first girl on t... said on :

OK 7-Twenty-7, as I see it’s useless to talk to you, cos you have no idea how pathetic you are. You are trying to be smart by insulting others, but the fact is you are insulting yourself. Go on making fool of yourself if you WISH. GOOD LUCK!!!

christian said on :

Thank‘s “First girl on the moon”!! Now Iàm going to watch the unplugged concert on DVD... :-)

Cheers
Christian

miss-misery said on :

Funny topic, indeed. I agree with those saying that threads like this are sort of useless. Of course there’s freedom of speech, and you can say wathever you want, but reading things like this makes me wonder if people here are close to their 30s, and reminds me of one of the reasons I don’t write here so often.

Talking about freedom of speech... some people dared to say what many of us think: that topics like this won’t make Per run to Marie’s house and say, “hey, let’s make a brand new album sounding like C!B!B!” and it’s sort of boring and repetitive reading the same again and again. And most of the tribe just raged and decided that if you don’t share that optimistic and dreamy feeling of asking once and again the same thing, even if you know that it’s something imposible (it seems christian didn’t even think about Marie’s health when he opened the topic) you just don’t deserve being part of the comunity. Great, that’s what I call tolerance.

And now feel free to flame if you want...

ket-ket said on :

if we ’ll stop to speak about roxette,it might be over of TDR,what do we doing here?
i m here coz this old and incredible band is still in my heart,and i’m surprised why some of the members of daily roxette getting offended and bored to speak about that subject,what else can we do here? to speak about how great is Britneys come back or something like that,if so u can join other most interesting webs. its boring to read such kind of things for ppl whose bored from roxette.it’s always pleasure to me read how fans still supporting roxette,and still existing although the fact that they dissapeared.

7-Twenty-7 said on :

Nobody said they disappeared. I suggest you to read all the thread again, and you might understand. To say they should do this or that is hardly any kind of “support” to my eyes. It seems some people can’t cope with reality...

ket-ket said on :

but in fact they’re disappeared as a Roxette,and not many people know about theyr solo career,even just huge fans. noyone commands what to do and how to do,but i think its normall from the side of fans,(i must repeat Roxette’s and not something elses fans to wishing and asking about new songs),and that means that rox is still very important for us. what does it means besids support? but its ok that people having different opinions about everything. in my opinion 7-twenty-7 is the worst song of roxette : ) everything depends on the taste and opinions...

first girl on t... said on :

7-Twenty-7 I suggest you to read the thread again and you might understand that nobody demanded smth from Roxette. I don’t understand your reaction cos people kept telling you this all the time. They just expressed their wish and hope, that’s far from being a demand, right? It’s just a harmless topic, no need to be so aggressive. And if it repeats itself it’s not such a tragedy, I hope. Btw I do like ’Pratar med min müsli’ and “Ordet är farväl’ though it’s far from being CBB. And if people say what album they like most, it’s not a deadly sin I think. Relax

ket-ket said on :

: )yeah,right. Viva freedom of the word and taste and world!!!!!!!!

Forevernotyours said on :

Crash Boom Bang is pure energy through the music. They should put aside the funky beats taht they put on some of the musics on their last albuns and ignore the shitty muisc that people are doing today. Rock on again. Guitar riffs and bass, drums that’s a good combination. Stick to what you do best.. good music. Roxette was, is and will it be the best again? I reallly hope so!

ChrisWilliams said on :

an original username there.

I don’t think Roxette “should” do anything. I don’t even think Per goes into the studio and says “Ok, we’re going to record something just like this.” I’d think he talks in Swedish. But I guess he writes the song on his guitar and then looks at the production much later.

Isn’t it fair to say Per’s always recorded what sounds good to his ears..? I’d guess so.

1994 has gone and so has Per’s HOT PANTS.

Eveeliiiinaa said on :

i think that all their records are fantastic.and you who wants a new roxette album, can you dont enjoy their old albums?? do you think its that boring or what?? per and marie has other things to do, they both have sepertly careers, maybe its not a good moment for them? it could be fun with a new album but im not that desperet! im just saying if you dont like their old albums you cant like their new either.

ket-ket said on :

its impossible enjoying old songs again and again,espetially if you listening during years,from childhoods time,of course its boring, music remained in youre head and you even need not to listen,coz already know every little moment of these music,i hope u can get what i mean.and if i or someone else did not liked roxette’s old albums,what they already has recorded we would not wished to have new album at all, its too clean.

7-Twenty-7 said on :

Forevernotyours, I am afraid Marie is not in a state to “rock on” again. She makes the music that fits her better now. I don’t see her jumping along the stage as she did in the CBB Tour, sorry. The time has passed by even for Per and Marie.

Jud (moderator) said on :

I wouldn’t have bothered to read part of this topic hadn’t somebody sent me an email asking for moderation. Didn’t take more than 5 comments to know were this would lead to, looks like nobody can have a civilised discussion on here.

Topic closed - not because of the subject but because of the manners.

What I think is a waste of time is coming here to post stuff against the others. It might be a waste of time for some of you to dream about a new Rox album, but isn’t a waste of time to come here and post how much of a waste of time this topic is? Really, do you have that much time to waste? ;) And now I even wasted 5 minutes for nothing *sigh*
