That’s wrong.. if compared to the traditional history.. i think it says: they got together to release a song (Svarta glass) and the single had success... so EMI “ordered” them to get together and release a full album... songwriting time was not a problem cos they used a lot of songs that were gonna be on the next Per’s solo album..., so only a few months after that single, when the album was ready EMI told them they needed a band name... cos it would not get a lot of attention if it just was “Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson together”.. so they gave a list of names and EMI chosed Roxette...
That’s what I’ve been reading since i was 12

Good ideas, but don’t you think another GH is a little too much?
My Biggest hope for 2004 is that they’re not gonna split up! Cause I’m hungry for more ROXETTE:)
Rox On!

Some kind of DVD! With bonus, some bonus and why don’t some rare bonus!!! Live, very much live - but don’t with gh-feeling and stuff that been sold or floating on the Internet.
C’ ya!

A world tour and a roxbox with a bonus dvd with live recordings of rare and live songs on it.
And the box containes all songs they ever made but not the regular ones, that must be the demo’s and mixes and songs who didn’t make it to be recorded.

Weren´t Roxette formed in 1986? Didn´t Per ask Marie in 1986 to make music together?
Pascal said on August 4, 2002 11:21:
Indeed, Roxette (Marie and Per) was formed in 1986 and not in 1984.
frodi said on August 4, 2002 12:14:
Yes, they was. Unfortinally some believes that roxette was formed in ’84. The truth is that Gyllene tider (with Marie as back-vocalist) called themselves Roxette when they’d released Heartland café LP in usa. That failed so Marie and Per translated Per’s unreleased album (that became POP) and took the used name. We’ve been trought that discussion earlier. Should it really be another one?
C’ ya!

1986
However, doing something different....SOON.... would be nice. A DVD with things like behind the scenes and interviews and thoughts/feelings on some of the songs would be nice.
Just my onion on it all
pietROxette said on August 4, 2002 18:53:
Yea, Heartland Café is NOT Roxette, it’s Gyllene Tider.
A box set with remastered albums would be great!
frodi said on August 4, 2002 18:58:
Or maybe Per och Marie should write a book togheter. Their own text - Per did wrote some lines to the cd’s formerly, don’t you remember?
Something like a selfbiography, their own thoughts and all that about the last 20 years (1986 - 2006). Althought it’s a very long time to 2006 - but that is the 20 th anniversary and we all know it can take a very long long time from thought to action to complete product.
C’ ya!
little_girl said on August 4, 2002 19:04:
So then they obviously will not have their 20th anniversary until 2006...
I’d like so see the next Roxette - the book. In the one we all got it says they’ll make part 2 in 2002, but that don’t seem to happen. But why not in 2006? That would be a nice summary of the years that has passes since the last one came out right??
And maybe with some live DVD included... or something. Like Really Roxette... but updated.

hmm... i thought it was late 1985 after sales of “scener” went down the toilet...
i may be mistaken, but hey, they had to have time to record POP... in order to release it in 1986... so i might be right... dunno???
juneafternoon said on August 5, 2002 00:58:
Trivia!!!!! (For all of you asking:)
In what year Per & Marie got together and record their first song as Roxette and what was the name of such song?
Next, what about “I want you”?
Roxette existed before Pearls of Passion!!!
Remember that.
Anyway:

Anyway..... another gh would be really... but really...... did i say extremely? ... extremely stupid

juneafternoon: reading Rolling Stone has some side effects as you can see :))
juneafternoon said on August 6, 2002 23:55:
Side effects?
I can’t believe this forum anymore.
I used to believe everyone in here was a *real* fan.
Now I see the truth. I see people with nothing else to complaint about, so they choose Roxette.
I mean, I think I didn’t have such a bad idea. But now, man!!!
“No more greatest hits”
“Roxette wasn’t formed in 1984”
“No REAL ideas”
I don’t know why I bother writing anymore.
I love Roxette and I’m gonna give it a shot.
I find better fans on Kazaa.
You are not only fake fans, but you should join the Britney club. They accept any kind.
Ferdan said on August 7, 2002 01:39:
why do you say they formed in 1984!?
you’re free to leave anyway.......
wouldn’t you prefer a new album than another stupid greatest hits? or maybe you just gave up on Per writing skills...
colinvdbel (moderator) said on August 8, 2002 16:11:
Just a 20 CDbox with Rox-demos that Per made...
RoxiRoxt said on August 8, 2002 16:31:
@ juneafternoon: I´m NOT a fake fan. I only asked if Roxette formed in 1986 or not. Because Roxette said in many interviews they were formed in 1986 . You can read in many biographies (and in the Rox-Book) that they were formed in 1986!
So, than you wrote they were formed in 1984 and this made me wondered. I´m over 10 years a rox-fan and I thought if I was the whole time wrong?!
I don´t want to say that you are wrong. And this is a discussion forum and we can discuss if they are formed in 84 or 86. But I think Per and Marie only can give us the right answer.
So, don´t say that some of us are fake fans if you don´t know us.
And I don´t want to blame you. Just wanted to say this! :o)
And don´´t say I have to join the Birtney Club because every time I hear this B... word I´m getting an allergic reaction :o)

@ juneafternoon: I forgot something to say: Your idea about the 20th anniversary is a very good idea. Cross fingers that P & M will read this :-p
juneafternoon said on August 4, 2002 03:42:
In 1984, Roxette was formed.
In 2004 Roxette’s got their 20th anniversary.
Please, suggestions:
What should they do in 2004?
Suggestions will be posted by me in a special webpage for EMI and hopefully Roxette to watch.
1. A special double CD featuring all Rox hits and new ones.
2. A special DVD with all kind of special bonuses including “Room service (and their new albums released in 2003-2004) LIVE”.
3. The long awaited “ROXBOX”.
4. The last WORLD tour.
Just for all of you to know: I’m already shooting a documentary dedicated to Roxette covering around 1977 and ending 2004. This documentary will be available in 2004 in such special website and (hopefully) DVD and VHS.
The project-name is to be confirmed. Please, I beg you, don’t steal the idea.
5. Would you like to Roxette to cooperate with this documentary and even them both narrating it?
IDEAS PLEASE!!!!
THANX A MILLION.
Hope to hear from you.
