20.. WILL THERE BE ANY MORE ROXETTENEWS.COM??????!!!
21.. WILL MY “IWBYB” MATERIAL TURN UP FROM THE FANCLUB?
PeterGm said on July 15, 2002 16:52:
The answers to all your questions: ;)
#1: Hidden somewhere in Per’s wardrobe.
#2: Again, in his wardrobe, maybe Marie’s, and the 4 US dudes who have a copy of the filming of Spun may have the background.
#3: UK? No chance. Open a bank account for funds to finance a concert....
#4: Vinyl; Per likes his name on Vinyls...so he waits for solo projects :)
#5: Still worried about that?
#6: I think you have Myth but you don’t dare say :) email ti 2 me! xD
#7: Per promises lots of things...but a RoxBox is once again more RERELEASING, so it will come after the new CDs... definitely before a new studio album...
#8: Also known as Internet ;)
#9: Shit! a THIRD POP album! You’re joking!
#10: Yea, would love this one... Gabriel has it amongst his toys :)
#11 and#12 are easy... we just need a time machine.... and lots of time :)
#13: are you?
#14: demos, spices, bits and pieces, ultra remixes, light ones, rare stuff, are all stuffed up in pillows and socks in Gessle Villa, Halmstad. Go there :)
#15: Dimberg kept that one....
#16: that’s the question i ask myself...but why since 94, and not since 86 or even since 76??? :P
#17: we all know about it, don’t we?
#18: won’t answer this one.... the answer isn’t clear....yet.
#19: Cos if they do, sales will split into TWO.... and obviously, they don’t want that to happen...
#20: hopefully....
#21: Argentina people got theirs, and I also got mine.... it’s on its way!
A PLEA: GYLLENE TIDER TOUR FOR NEXT SUMMER!!!!! 2003!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roxryder-V2002 said on July 16, 2002 18:10:
Another unsolved mistery, at least for me, What’s the song Marie sings at the end of Joyride in one of Crash concerts back in ‘94 ‘95, something that goes like When the rain comes, she sings some lines and then get back to Joyride inspite of doing the same with How do you do!
Roxryder
PeterGm said on July 16, 2002 18:54:
I’ve got another (#25?): what about the English version of “Ska vi älska”?
AntiMario said on July 17, 2002 05:28:
#whatever 2 English versions of “Galning” and “Kapten”??
#whatever 3 Why the hell “See Me” is credited to Marie??????
Vixzter said on July 17, 2002 06:00:
Answers :
#1 - they probably never exsisted
#2 - who knows......perhaps EMI have it and have decided its so good it might actualy give Roxette a new break which would mean EMI doing some work, so they’ve hidden it away in a big archive labeled “DO NOT TOUCH UNDER PAIN OF DEATH” and burried 50 miles underground.
#3 - Never
@AntiMario - “#whatever 3 Why the hell “See Me” is credited to Marie??????”
Ummmm correct me if I’m wrong here....but maybe its coz she wrote it? >;)
frodi said on July 17, 2002 08:16:
# 27 I guess. Where the hell is the english verision of “När vi två blir en”? “Beating heart” I think its called.
PeterGm said on July 17, 2002 08:38:
frodi: in my CD Player :) Guess you haven’t looked arounf too hard... there is a small 30 second clip at http://www.gyllenetider.com/discog/nonalbum.php
frodi said on July 17, 2002 15:31:
Thanx, but that didn’t helped me that much. I thought I’ve looked around as much as it was possible. Forget what I’d wrote. I did find it - huh, it was easier than I thought. I had it in front of me, and still I didn’t saw it. But problem solved...
steven said on July 18, 2002 19:05:
#28 Why.. when I visited a local sports store today, to buy a pair of trainers for my 3 yeal old son... were the store playing Roxette’s Great Hits... LOUD! I mean come on! This is the UK!!!! :)
#29 Why are there no postings on the Mailling List at present? Has the enitre Rox Community gone on holiday on something?
#30 How the hell do you pronouce Gyllene Tider?

Mystery #31: Why won’t Marie release “Hometown” (the song that was played briefly in the movie Sånt är livet, written by her husband Micke)?????
Kiwein1 said on July 19, 2002 08:22:
#32: Why did they never release “Crazy about you”? This is the greatest song ever!!
#33: Why answers Per on roxette.se only questions when Rox needs some promotion and not when there is nothing coming up?
#34: Where is the Rox power gone that we found in the old songs?
Kiwein1 said on July 19, 2002 08:23:
#35: Why do we get another COMPILATION and why is it a BALLAD album? We want new stuff and OF COURSE we want some uptempo songs..
frodi said on July 19, 2002 08:27:
Answer:
#28 - Why not? We always say that DBUGTTC include the songs we loved. If the store likes the cd and thinks it’s create a nice atmosphere for the customers - what’s the problem, really? Don’t YOU like the old Roxette nomore maybe?
C ’ya!
Jackeill said on July 19, 2002 08:33:
@steven in #30: listen to nar vi tva blir en in the end of the second part, near second chorus (1m25s from the begining) , per sings Gyllene Tider - in the way we all should speak it :)
PeterGm said on July 19, 2002 09:18:
or just listen to “Gyllene Tider för Rock’n’Roll” :)
Frodi: Steven was being sarcastic... :)
frodi said on July 19, 2002 12:17:
Of course... I didn’t see that coming.
@steven in #30: ...or listen to the second verse in “Skicka ett vykort, älskling”:
Jag står inte ut en natt till
Jag längtar och jag lider
Please mr Postman kom med ett kort
Ge mej Gyllene Tider - åhååå
C ’ya!
-Gee- said on July 19, 2002 19:11:
#37: and did Per really READ Penthouse on the tour bus? (www.roxette.se -> diary) *eg*
StillFar said on July 19, 2002 20:50:
what happened to:
NEW WORLD, DO YOU WANNA GO WITH ME, BAD MOON, ALL I EVER WANTED
ALWAYS THE LAST TO KNOW, BEING WITH YOU, CAN YOU TOUCH ME, DREAMING, GHOST IN THE HOUSE, GIRL LIKE YOU, HOLIDAY, IT HURTS, LITTLE MISS SORROW, LOUD CLOTHES, MAKIN LOVE TO YOU, ONLY WHEN I DREAM, ONLY YOU, RUN TO ME
frodi said on July 20, 2002 15:39:
@:PeterGm (#11313111).
Janne was an old friend of M.P. that joined Gyllene tider early. The problem was that Jannes ambition was to have fun and not really cared about being famous. But Per did; he had maked his mind up to be the best.
So Per left GT and start a new band, “Hjärtekrossaren” (“Heartbraker”). The rest of GT was to scared to continue with the band without Per and joined Per’s new band. Then they simply changed name to Gyllene Tider.
Rather mean - but to reach the top...
StillFar, “Dreaming” and “Can you touch me?” is on Heartland café, the cd anyway.
C ’ya!
steven said on July 22, 2002 22:11:
#39 Who on the Internet will be the first person to boast that they have heard the new single and tell everyone else how/where to hear it?
steven said on July 22, 2002 22:13:
#40 How come I cant visit www.roxettenews.com, but I can through the news feed links at my own site www.roxette.net ?
frodi said on July 23, 2002 15:10:
#41: Why don’t Gyllene Tider release a cd with unreleased material, such the old demos Per says he have locked in a safetybox, and / or the new material he talked about that should become a new cd?
DaminehGessle said on August 16, 2002 00:23:
pietROxette actually has the correct pronounciation.
I can finish of the 100 mysteries for you guys.
#42: I was always wondering whether Per and Marie were in love long ago.
My brain is dead. I will come up with more. Cheers.
n-Somnia said on January 19, 2005 03:40:
“#30 How the hell do you pronouce Gyllene Tider?”
Listen closely to a part of the interview at the beginning of “The Making of Joyride”...but remember, listen “closely” or you’ll miss it.
roxeteer (moderator) said on January 19, 2005 07:42:
#44: The video for the hidden bonus track on TWATG. (The very weird version of “Kix”.) The video does exist, I’ve even seen a short clip of it. It’s directed by Jonas Åkerlund, just like the regular “Kix” video, and it looks like an old b/w movie.
If you remember the “Kix” video, it has all these scenes that end just when something is about to happen. The video for the bonus track shows them till the end.
ally77 said on January 19, 2005 20:43:
@ PeterGm in answer to number 3! I already did that as a just in case!!
alexandre100 said on January 19, 2005 21:17:
#45 Why do Per never show his arms during the shows or videos? He always wears shirts with long sleeves! (maybe some kind of tatoo that he really hates and can’t be removed...)
#46 Why do Per carry a guitar in the video “The Center Of The Heart” since it’s not necessary? (there’s no sound of guitar in that song!)
#47 Why do the “Chances” video seems to be unfinished?
#48 How should I define “Run To You”: as a ballad (because there’s a spanish version in the “Baladas En Español” album) or a pop song (because it appears in the “The Pop Hits” compilation)?
steven said on January 19, 2005 22:53:
Wow.. this is an old thread :)
#49 What happens to Roxette in 2(?) years time when their contract with EMI ends?
#50 Is that a good thing?
carbon_boy said on January 20, 2005 07:07:
@Roxeteer: Where did you find the Kix Cha Cha video?!!!!! OMG! I know there’s a vid for it, but thought it would basically be the same as the other 2.
colinvdbel (moderator) said on January 20, 2005 10:42:
I could email you the video, but It’s about 11Mb’s, dunno if your email can handle it?
arnie said on January 20, 2005 10:57:

I would be very grateful if you could send it to the gmail address in my profile - a thousand thanks from Rich
Sascha said on January 20, 2005 15:46:
steven: i don’t think the contract is time-based. It’s album-based. Per said in summer that there are several albums left in the deal.
colin: please send me the video too: s.strohmeier at k-konzept.de
girl7twenty7 said on January 20, 2005 17:27:
@colinvdbel Please send me the video too. Thank you beforehand :) [email protected]
girl7twenty7 said on January 20, 2005 18:21:
How interesting to read this old topic...
“#46 Why do Per carry a guitar in the video “The Center Of The Heart” since it’s not necessary? (there’s no sound of guitar in that song!)”
There’s no need to play drums either... I always wondered why TCOTH video was made like this. Still is the mistery.
“Mystery#43: In Neverending love video, in the start you can see the lady’s shoes even when she’s not on the chair “
Hmm. I can see no mistery here. After a few seconds is shown why the shoes are there and how the lady was taking off them. Then she went dancing barefoot.
#51 Where are demos of the songs from TWATG? Would like to hear them one day...
steven said on January 20, 2005 18:37:
Please can someone email me the Cha cha cha video too? Thanks.
steven @roxette.net
KixGuy said on January 20, 2005 23:54:
I’d like to have the answer for question #51 too.
#52 Where are teh demos verions of “Real sugar”, “How do you do!”, “Stars” (the rock version), “Pay the price”, “Crush on you”, “You can’t put your arms around what’s already gone”...
And please, you guys who got the video for Kix Cha-cha, would some kind soul send it to me? my e-mail address is: [email protected]
Thanks a lot!
xarrrr said on January 21, 2005 18:14:
whoa can someone send it to me toooo please? [email protected] :D
steven said on January 21, 2005 20:55:
Can someone please upload this somewhere.
I’ll happily provide the webspace if that’s a problem.
patolucas said on January 22, 2005 04:48:
#53: Why the hell Roxette didn’t ever release a Live DVD from Room Service Tour???!!!!!!
Marie did a tour and had one DVD.
Per did a tour and had one DVD.
Gyllene Tider did a tour and had one DVD.
Roxette did their last tour on 2001,where the hell is the so awaiting live DVD!!!!!!!!!!
girl7twenty7 said on January 22, 2005 08:37:
Has anyone got the video?
Coming back to TCOTH clip. Paradoxal video indeed. Everything was turned upside down there in the sense of music. The band “playing” on instruments not existing in the song... Even more, the only live sounds of strings are replaced visually as if played on the synthezier...
abysmo said on January 22, 2005 11:45:
2 patolucas:
yes, RS tour was more than RS tour almost greatest hits tour, so it´s good idea to release shows from Bruxelles or Barcelona (these 2 was filmed) on DVD, named something like Greatest Hits Live! DVD...
and yes, I want to hear rock demos for Crush On You You, Stars, You Can´t... or Opportunity Nox. I already heard demo version of 727 which is really perfect. And ofcourse, want to hear remixes for Crush On You. If there were be released song Crush On You, Stars, Wish... and 727 as a singles, Have A Nice Day would by much more selling than was. Plus It will take a ...
Rich-UK said on January 22, 2005 11:52:
The video of TCOTH was indeed paradoxical, but it is also my favourite :-) All the best from Rich
Rich-UK said on January 22, 2005 11:53:
I understood that the RS tour wasn’t professionally filmed... so it was??? If so we should campaign for a DVD with extra goodies ;-))))
LaMan said on January 22, 2005 18:28:
Why was The Look95 released?
Was it succesful in any countries?
n-Somnia said on January 22, 2005 20:34:
...and why didn’t they put it on DBUGTTC? Something to think about...
steven said on January 23, 2005 21:35:
@ Rich UK:
Yep, RS Tour was filmed professionally and was also broadcast (in a limited capacity) in several countries.
There was also a behind the scenes documentry (in English) of the filming of TCOTH video at Madonna’s Inn in California.
Add to that all the video releases from the album and you have a bumper crop of good quality material that exists for a decent RS Tour DVD.
Starrox said on January 24, 2005 04:20:
Aren’t you confusing the showcase and the concert in Barcelona? I know the showcase was filmed and shown in Spain and the Netherlands (?), but the concert?
steven said on January 24, 2005 06:27:
Maybe... I’m sure though I saw some TV station show some tracks from the concert and not the promo tour?
Personally, I would be happy with just the promo on DVD :)
alexandre100 said on January 25, 2005 22:33:
Oh, yes! So, there it is:
#57 (I guess): Are we going to reach 100 mysteries? Because this discussion is almost going to the second page of the main link...
AURYTE said on January 26, 2005 07:15:
Really what about Room Service tour DVD??? I find it quite strange that Marie, Per & Gyllene Tider have released DVD’s but not Roxette. It’s strange cos Roxette usually release DVD/VHS after the tour.
Another mystery #58(???)
Why did the video of The Centre Of The Heart get censored??? Was that scene with the golf ball so bad??? Watch videos of hip-hop artists!!!
roxcyn said on January 31, 2005 00:46:
Does anyone know the IPA (international phonetic alphabet)? If so you could type it in IPA and then I’d know how to say Gyllene Tider :D
Mitya said on January 31, 2005 15:54:
@girl7twenty7: well, according to the sleeves of RS and TPH there is electric guitar sound by Per in TCOTH, but where it really is there I can‘t hear/
n-Somnia said on February 1, 2005 05:16:
Inspired by another thread:
Why was “2 Cinnamon Street” on the Super Mario Bros. soundtrack, when it wasn’t in the actual film? Hmmmmm...
AURYTE said on February 1, 2005 07:40:
n-Somnia, thanx for answering one of my questions.
One more mystery: why the version of The Look on Tourism is shorter than the actual one from concert in Sydney???
girl7twenty7 said on February 1, 2005 22:17:
@Mitya Probably all the guitar job in The Centre Of The Heart is making noise sounds in the song? Don’t know where else it could be...
alexandre100 said on February 2, 2005 20:52:
#61 Why was “It Will Take A Long Long Time” played at the movie “Runaway Bride”, but not included at the soundtrack album of that movie?
AURYTE said on February 3, 2005 06:26:
The answer to #61 is that the soundtrack of Runaway Bride was released by Sony. And Roxette is on EMI. So 2 companies didn’t agree about the money.
Isn’t it funny that some of the mysteries are solved. For instance, Marie released the album in English and Roxette released Little Miss Sorrow.
#62 When will we get next “Roxette Review”?
TheRain1981 said on February 3, 2005 06:35:
#63 - When will Roxette’s catalogue get remastered and reissued?
alexandre100 said on February 3, 2005 23:20:
Here is one more mystery (or one doubt, at least...):
#64 Why do “The First Girl On The Moon”
and “Place Your Love” track names appears outstanding in the tracklist at the back cover of the “Crash! Boom! Bang!” album?
TheChange said on February 5, 2005 21:14:
#65: In the cover of You Don’t Understand Me CD Maxi part 2 of a 2CD set from UK.It says:”Includes 3 rare songs” I wonder what the hell has of rare Harleys & Indians?? I can try to understand TSHTSG and AU (demo) but H&I???!!!!!
AURYTE said on February 6, 2005 07:30:
#66 Why aren’t Gyllene Tider’s videos shown on MTV? Compared to other Swedish videos, they are great!
alexandre100 said on February 12, 2005 20:22:
#67 Why wasn’t “It Must have Been Love” included in a official album? (i mean, included in “Joyride” album, and not included in all of that “Greatest Hits” albums)...
jobarth said on February 12, 2005 23:52:
#68 Where are the songs “How can I take a chance on you? (sommar 91), Hotblooded (party version),[...]Dont’ you...eddie dec 91” which you can see on a tape in the Tourism cover artwork?
#69 When will the Roxette Sheet Music be available on roxette.se? Like it’s written on www.noteheads.com?
n-Somnia said on February 13, 2005 09:54:
Question #68 is one that’s been bugging me for years now. I’d love to find out the answer to it.
on_a_mission said on February 14, 2005 14:19:
#30 Gyllene Tider: yil-len-na tee-der, or something. Its hard to spell phonetically.
steven said on February 14, 2005 22:05:
100 posts, but we’ve not yet reached 100 mysteries.
Surely, there must be more unanswered Roxette questions out there?
LaMan said on February 20, 2005 16:14:
I haven´t read all 4 pages yet so it´s possible this has been asked before but isn´t Sweet Hello Sad Goodbye as radio friendly as MATAH or Listen To Your Heart? So that means it´s a mystery to me why it was not released as a SINGLE. (+ video).
realsugarsexmagic said on February 21, 2005 15:45:
Biggest Rox mystery - did they ever sleep with each other????
n-Somnia said on February 21, 2005 20:03:
I wouldn’t call that a mystery. Everyone knows the answer to the question (which is no).
alexandre100 said on February 21, 2005 20:57:
#70: Why Marie’s hair was cut? Was it her decision or a EMI decision?
on_a_mission said on February 22, 2005 22:02:
#72 when will roxette give in to the current trend and go hip hop...?
n-Somnia said on March 5, 2005 11:07:
Just thought of a good one. I’m surprised no one else has thought of it yet...
On Tourism, the hotelroom recordings of “Here Comes the Weekend” and “So Far Away”...
Exactly how many recordings were made during this session? Only the two, or are there some out there hiding from us?
;)
n-Somnia said on March 6, 2005 04:46:
Here’s another...
While filming the video for “Sleeping in My Car”, did the security cameras from the parking lot capture much of it? And do the security tapes still exist?
Interesting. ;)
alexandre100 said on March 6, 2005 04:51:
#75 (?) Why “Queen Of Rain” wasn’t included at their first Greatest Hits?
Sparvogamarie said on March 14, 2005 15:00:
Alexandre the answer to #70: Marie said when CBB was released she knew she would be seeing her face on magazines all the time and she was bored with her look. So she cut her hair, and after she did it she was really happy because it was so fast to do her hair and she used less shampoo!!
alexandre100 said on March 14, 2005 21:34:
@Sparvogamarie
Thanks for your answer!
But, actually, my doubt is about Marie’s hair at “Pearls Of Passion” days compared to “Look Sharp” days...
P-p-p-pelle said on March 15, 2005 08:35:
#76 What happened to the songs of the bootleg Demon Demos such as ’my nose touched yours’, ’you mean a lot to me’, ’why not [don’t hesitate], ’Each heart beats with an echo’ or ’9-2-5. Enjoy Your Life!’ ?
girl7twenty7 said on March 16, 2005 11:09:
@Alexandre I remember Marie once said that cutting her hair short was one of the best things she had ever done. And it was her own decision (at least not EMI’s...)
Breathe8 said on March 16, 2005 19:02:
When Roxette will record a new album! But I know Roxette are mysterious in these things. One day they will say “We have got a new fantastic album” It would be great!!!
steven said on July 14, 2002 00:23:
#1. Crush On You Remixes (where are they?)
#2. New version of Per’s superb ’Stupid’. (where is it?)
#3. When will Rox tour the UK again?
...any more?
