roxette.se: the worst band’s website of the world!

Why? OK...there it goes...
A very poor look if compared with others that don’t utilize Flash - In the first concept it had a very heavy and full of animated features graphic profile, but now looks like the most unfinished work of a webdesigner that I ever saw in my life. The site is obviously very ugly – a poor layout and colors. You don’t need a super technology to create an eye-pleasant site…just look at roxettenews and pietro’s one.
Very, very few special features – The creator of the site obviously expect that the fans supply the world with Roxette’s history. There aren’t those things like pic, songs or phrase of the week, there aren’t unreleased things that should be released there, there isn’t a bank of data with Per’s and Marie’s timelines, there aren’t links to works (as solo) of other members of the band, there aren’t visual registers of nothing in the past or in the present.
You don’t have access to nothing exclusive or personal in Per’s or Marie’s collection, that we, as fan expect from them to release, ‘coz we helped to create it in a way.
The only shameless ‘liar’ site of the world – Yeah, ‘cause you “have” a virtual line of communication with the brain of the band in question, but this damn line doesn’t work – Per rarely answers to the question (maybe from 6 to 6 months), and Marie, well…it seems that she simply doesn’t get interest on it.
Now, try to compare Roxette’s web site with others from 80’s or inative bands…like A-ha’s, Eagles’ and many others. Of course, I didn’t mention the trend bands, like Gorillaz, Linkin’ Park and…I mean, if Per and Marie in a near future decide to quit, this roxette.se won’t give any help to at least, keep their memory a bit warm in people’s minds…what the hell? Does Per and Marie really deserve something like that or are them so lazy waiting for the fans to keep their info always updated and existing??

Yes, I totally agree with you.
Why wouldn’t they unite roxettenews.com and roxette.se with a cool layout and UPDATED information, a proper chat room, video & song downloads (kind of Daft Club) et cetera?!
Just doo somethin’!

I think the don’t know how important the medium INTERNET is....i think they should involve the fans for example in their productions. Bon Jovi for example had a camera in the recordstudio and showed their fans what they do in their recordstudios...i think that’s a great idea. and so they needed the INTERNET and that was great!

The most unbelieveable thing is that there isn’t even a link to download or play the songs while you are online...oh my god!!
It’s strange...but why Per and Marie don’t like to put money on this things that obviously need more investment?? Maybe that’s why Per is such 3rd richest man of Sweden...
