i got a reply from SWR3, one of the biggest radio-stadions in germany:
“Wir wissen nix davon, haben die single auch noch gar nicht.

So, where and when will we hear the new song? :-\

Never mind... Let‘s torture the radiostations so they‘re looking forward to get the single in order to keep us quiet!

What is it with you people?? Don’t yo have anything else to do than to complain about just about everything? If you don’t complain about the lack of new songs, you complain about the lack of promotion in the US and UK, and if you don’t complain about that either... then you complain about the few new songs we do get nowadays, saying oh it’s not gonna be a hit, it’s so bad... I don’t like it, where are the guitars? Where are the keyboards? Who cares if it’ll be a hit or not? The improtant thing is that the song is out and that we all have the opportunity to hear it.
I just wonder... can’t you ever get satisfied with what you DO GET, instead of complain about what you don’t get all the time?

Peter loves wot he has listened to... it seems Peter’s Billboard is different from the rest of the world and the Roxette fans!

well to be honest it jusat isn’t what we hoped for..its now wheres near beibng a simc like song at all its more real sugar meets 727 ...
Starrox said on January 27, 2003 17:28:
WE hoped for? Please speak only for yourself, I know a lot of people like ON the way it is, myself included...
BTW, I’m really tired of people having big expectations of how a song should be like and then are totally disappointed when they actually get to hear it because it’s not what they expected... anyone else, too?
PeterGm said on January 27, 2003 17:36:
yea... i was disppointed with ATAY...but because we were told to expect something like IMHBL o FLAF... otherwise I wouldn’t have been so negative about it in the first place...now it’s grown on me and I like it... that’s why I LOVE ON...it’s new and it’s great!
CRIZ said on January 27, 2003 18:18:
@Starrox: I agree with you! I wonder why some still listen to Rox! They are complaining about everything!! Find something new if you don’t like Rox anymore! I don’t have ANY expectations!! I’m just waiting, listening and making my opinion than!
I also think that one have to understand how Per and Marie work and why they sound like that. I hope I do! :)
OPPORTUNITY NOX ROX!!! :D

ON is EXACLY what I was hoping for. So dont say “its not what WE hoped for....”.
Starrox said on January 27, 2003 01:28:
I’m not too sure we Germans will actually get to hear ON a week earlier... probably it’s only a matter of one to five days! The thing is that (according to the guy responsible for radio promotion at Capitol Records Germany) the so-called “airdate” often means that the promo CDs are only sent out by post that day, so radio stations can’t start playing the song until wednesday - in the case of ATAY we had to wait til sunday!
But who knows, I managed to hear WICF on a German radio station before the “world premiere” on Rix FM had taken place back on 4/1/99, so they must have had the single in time...
