There‘s no news about him for monthes, i‘m starting to worrying about him ? Whats he doing this summer ? Nothing ?! Oh, i don‘t believe in this...

Maybe he is just enjoying holidays. Summer is supposed to have some time off, don’t you think? I bet he’s on a trip, somewhere around the world. It makes more sense to me. The Lonely Boys is a defunct project, by the way.

I think it’s great when Per doesn’t show up on the map, that usually means he’s up to something!

Here is what Per was up to 1st of july: http://www.pingistv.se/ShowMedia.aspx?id=b561a65c-4fff-46af-a4a0-641c69b...
In about 1 hour in the TV-stream you’ll see Per in the audience. Hopefully you will enjoy some great table-tennis as well. At least I do.

Konstpaus:
You are SO right. The other GT guys really need the money, they are in absolute poverty. And they don’t drive nice cars, be sure!!!
- Anders is working at his local McDonald’s. He’s said to prepare the best BigMac all over Scandinavia, so he was awarded the “Employee of the Month” countless times.
- Göran is the valet parking at Leif’s Lounge (he’s still working for Per, you see). He’s the most serious-looking guy, so the people trust on him, somehow.
- Mats is a full-time babysitter at the moment. “Billy” and “När alla vännerna gått hem” are his favourite lullabies; they work most of the times. If the kids don’t fall asleep, then he hums “När det lider mot jul”, which is absolutely effective.
- And finally, Micke made his way of living as a gardener. There’s not much to do in winter, that’s why he released his solo single in 2006; it didn’t work. It’s known he’s applied to work in the Stockholm Metro. He’s the one with a real urge for a GT comeback...

Per is just on holiday! And I think he deserved it! It’s summer! Most people in Sweden are on holiday now...until 12th August.
@Konstpaus...anyway..you might be right too.... ;)

@ 7-twenty-7 who do you think you are? every time i write something you have somethhing smartass to say and for your information i read in an interview per one sold a mercadies secondhand to one of the other gt members, so maybe they dont have much scrilla. im only a chef and i drive new cars every few years not pre owned ones.
i think one member owns a IT company and i cant think what the other 3 do....

If you have a pathological lack of sense of humour, it’s your problem, dear. Besides that, do you think that, after a 30 year-long career, they still need a 9 to 5 work to keep themselves alive? Even if Per wrote most of the songs, be sure they all have enough money. They have even produced records for other artists.
So, if you are so narrow-minded to think they need to be saved by a GT comeback... They are far from being poor! Anders Herrlin doesn’t look like a beggar, does him?

7_twenty_7! i would tell you what i really think of you but im sure tevesso, lars or judith would delete it anyway. and last time i checked this was an open descussion board so who r you to police it? what i write is my opinion and if you read what i was origionally posted it wasnt like that at all! you are carrying on like i said that they all live in cardboard boxes in a back alley somewhere that just wasnt the case
the point i was trying to get across was that per simply smells like a bank vault!
he is wealthy!!!!!!!! goron, mats, anders and micke are rich! but per is wealthy:
when you record an lp the writer gets a cut, the producer gets a cut, the record company gets a big ass cut and well the people that play instrements and do backup vocals they get a small cut. so most of the bands money comes from the tour after everyone to do with the tour is paid and ema telstar gets their bigazz cut
i highly doubt they get all the money left and split it 5 ways, it wouldnt work like that
in sweden you only have to sell 60k to be platinum so even if you sell 5 times platinum its really not that much money, the money is from the tour, saying all this all i was trying to origionally say was if GT do a big ass tour goran, mats, micke and anders will get some extra cash to invest or buy a bently or put all their kids through collage or buy that boat they wanted ect, ect ect NOT THAT THEY WERE POOR.
so 7twenty7 thats my novel if you dont like it i dont care and who knows i might run into you at GT30
7-Twenty-7 said on August 3, 2008 00:24:
The fact is: you don’t know which other productions they have been behind. Do you think they sit down and stare at the wall when GT is not active? Besides that, they don’t need to be a millionaire if they don’t want. They have a good standard of life, so I hardly believe they are on their knees, begging to Per to get GT back to life.
I don’t think you’ll have a chance to run into me at GT30, because I won’t be there. I was never a fan of GT, to say the truth. I only own a CD by them, and I play it once in a blue moon.

I’m so tired of all the arguments here all the time. For god sake, just grow up and except other peoples opinions and stop ramming what you think down someone else’s throat. No wonder this place is dead!
roxju said on July 31, 2008 21:01:
i think he’s working, as always, maybe he’s writing and recording some arrangments, let’se just think that he´s preparing the demos for an unknown album in the future, it could be for roxette, for GT, for Son Of A Plumber, for The Lonely Boys...who knows?! hehe ;)
