Isn't Per nasty sometimes?

Of course, I’m not saying that he’s nasty 24 hours/day, but...his answers are...sometimes he likes to be “straight to the point”, like something I read here that he said about a non-released Roxette song...he said that it sounded like a ’cheap Bon Jovi song’. Did he mean that Bon Jovi’s songs are cheap or did he mean that Bon Jovi writes some cheap songs sometimes? I mean...Per seems to be that ’hit where it hurts’ kind. He hardly speak bad things about others, but when he does it...it’s straight in the chin...isn’t it?

What’s the problem with private airplanes?
BTW...somebody told me here that even Bon Jovi decided to play with the cha-cha-cha thing from Kix...but he wasn’t the only one. I remember that also Pearl Jam has a live song where Vedder says a little ’cha-cha-cha’ in the end...I guess it was...that one...”Oh where, oh where can my baby be?” Pay attention in the end of the live version...he sings a little chachacha. Or maybe it was in that ’Lay down your arms, and surrender to me, yeah...” song...don’t remeber...

If you only knew what Mr. Bon Jovi himself has said (not about Rox tho’) and the majority of other rock stars...You can’t really call our Per nasty!

Per is not nasty!! He is just very honest sometimes and has a interesting fantastic sense of humour.
Sarcasm is very nice and needed sometimes!!!

my sister has the album of BON JOVI and it’s a very good album,but,the cha-cha-cha thing sounds almost the same as the one per did on TWATG
i also think BON JOVI is a very good group
I think people should be straight to the point instead of talking behind someone’s back.

nasty? no.... ironic, sarcastic and witty yes! That’s damn sweet! Millions of other features as well, which are not a matter of concern here :)

As You all know Per Gessle has worked together with desmond Child, just like Bopn Jovi on his Crush! album. Maybe Per got the idea for the Cha-cha-cha sample from Desmond Child.
But if much artists use this sample it can also just be a standard, famous sample.
But I think it has NOTHIN to do with stealing, or doin’ what other artists are doing.
And Yes, Per is sometimes very straight, but FAIR.
Bon Jove is even more straight, but also FAIR.

Yea, Per is very sarcastic... but hey... being sarcastic is the best thing in life :-D

You are not right at all.He is only very honest person and it’s very good.It’s very important to be honest and to say truth.And for us ,Roxette fans,it should be a good thing.
ujupana said on May 22, 2002 16:39:
you are right. he is nasty sometimes, but i find him funnier when he does that
-Gee- said on May 22, 2002 17:08:
nasty...hmmmm hehehe but in a very cute sense....
(referring to the viva-interview in tylösand 1999 ....per being asked about the studio name “tits n ass” and shaking hands like touching imaginary boobs ;)))
Markuz said on May 24, 2002 02:08:
Yes, not only is he nasty but also rude. But i guess you fans deserve it. The guy is laughing at your faces and you don’t even notice... I remember one time when Per said that Marie was preparing dance steps for the next single and all the morons got all really exited hehehehe there was even a discussion here at small talk about that, I guess some fans were expecting something like a Britney Spears video with all the dancers lol you just can’t blame him, it’s you who ask all those stupid questions at roxette.se. I guess that being “nasty” or “funny” is the only way to answer those questions. Otherwise he would have to tell you to go and get a brain...
lol the funniest bit is that some of you seem to enjoy being treated like sh*t!!! ROTFLOL

Sarcasm is a “talent” that is either natural or comes over time.
Stop to think a minute: A person gets asked the same / similar question repeatedly. After a while, the person being asked gets bored. Sarcasm develops and some folks think that they are being nasty.
I drive public service bus. 6 times out of 10, people get on the bus, pay their fare and sit down, no fuss, no muss. Then there are those that don’t bother reading the destination/route signs and ask where I’m going. Example:
My bus reads 25 Midvale Downtown Salt Lake that flashes DOWNTOWN as well. Guy comes up to me: “Do you go downtown?” I told him: “Nope, I just face the direction of downtown and drive backwards.” He nods: “Okay, thanks.” And proceeds TO WALK AWAY!!!!!
I get asked questions like that all the time, but I am also sarcastic about it at times as well. Especially when someone comes up and says: “I didn’t bother checking, but is this the Route 66?” “Nope, it’s the route 76, and I turn right at the light, rather than left...”
Is Per nasty? Never met him, can’t tell ya.
DUH!!!!!!!!

@ Markuz
But there were dance steps in that single...Stars! Don’t you recall Marie
dancing on the lane after she found her soon-to-be-husband?!
We’re not stupid and Per’s not rude - not towards us anyways!
Sarah-P said on May 24, 2002 15:04:
@animalkingdom; yeah, but didnt per answer this on roxette.se so around the time (or maybe even just after) of the MATAH video?!
And I think that is just his sense of humour, little spooky is right you need some sarcasm from time to time if people ask you questions ALL day!
Cant believe that some people actually believed the ’Marie is going dancing’ story anyway, thats just stupid! :P
tinytim said on May 24, 2002 15:51:
Hmmm...Little Spooky, it seems that you’ve been reading one of those special issues of Mad.
There was a time in Roxette.se when Per was reaallly nasty with his answers. That wa before the tour. After the tour, he was calm, calm. I just find it strange coz Per didn’t seem to be this ironic answerer in 1991. Far from it...he seemed a bit boob, fool...while Marie was that “woman”. Per really looked more like a “boy”.
japeke said on May 24, 2002 20:38:
HUH?????
I am almost sure the marie is going to dance answer is from the haveaniceday.nu era!!
JAAP
animalkingdom said on May 25, 2002 14:35:
@ Sarah p
That answer is old...It is probably from June 99...It’s definitely NOT from last year!
LittleSpooky said on May 26, 2002 08:16:
Sarah: I thrive on sarcasm. I got REAL GOOD with it in my job ;o)
Tiny Tim: Hence, and therefore, such goes life (don’t ask, it just seemed like a good thing to say)
CRIZ said on May 26, 2002 12:25:
Well....The thing this Markuz said was a bit hard but he is right in a little way. I couldn’t stand questions like “ARe you coming to this and that town and to this and that country” after a moment too. And we all see that Per doesn’t answer and q’s right now at all. Seems he got bored again. I don’t know. He is not nasty...he is just a human being and ...to be honest some of the questions there are really boring..so what shall he answer all the time??
I asked him some foolish things too ..just for fun.....and didn’t expect anything..But he always answered...
You just have to know how to take his humour and you must be able to laugh over yourself too sometimes!!!
And last but not least: DON’T TAKE HIM TOOO SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!! :))))))))
Resi said on May 26, 2002 21:24:
Hehe... taking Per too serious could make yourself get very angry at him... so better don´t do it. Like CRIZ says: After all Per´s just a human being. And some questions on www.roxette.se are really stupid...!
But if I was Per, I would just ignore the stupid questions.
pietROxette said on May 15, 2002 15:51:
Per must have some conflicts with Bon Jovi.
I remeber when both Bon Jovi and Roxette were touring (I think it could have been 1992 because that was when Bon Jovi was on the road with the Slippery When Wet Tour and Roxette with the Join The Joyride one), the Bon jovi guys were travelling with a private jet. Now back than Per made a remark in an interview that “we’re not like Bon Jovi, we don’t have private aeroplanes...”
