I heard that the album will be released “world wide” too...

Dear Sarah-P!
Why won’t we hear from Roxette soon?It’s terrible.
I think there are so many news about Roxette that can be put in this page instead of that news.

I say : News From Roxette are 10000 times more exciting than news from Gyllene tjej.

Above all these,I repeat:
THIS IS DAILYROXETTE ,NOT DAILYGYLLENE TJEJ.

Be successful!

Why don’ you guys create your own sites to satisfy your needs when it comes down to roxette, per gessle, marie or gyllene–does it really matter! start your own band if you guys are that bored!
anyways, its good news either way. maybe if the people can hear per’s voice on the radio and vjs & djs announce who he is it actually might help roxette for their next album. we’ve all complained about not hearing Per and his singles released on these Roxette albums well, here’s his chance to be heard again and eventually when new stuff from roxette comes out will possiblt hear him again! there’s always hope–stop this bickering–let’s be optomistic here!

will be that performance then on RoxBytes?
Happy easter, Kecho

Yashar said on March 26, 2002 22:09:

Hi friends!
Why are you so angry and attack me with your words?
Be calm!
I didn’t say news about Per is boring.I like him and
his songs more than you.
I just said that hearing about Roxette in dailyroxette
is more exciting.A natural thing for a fan of Roxette.
I think it’s obvious.

Good days for you!

PER,PER...And Marie?????????Marie ????have lost in the space???Marie,Marie...came soon.Your spanish fan.

rockstar73 said on March 29, 2002 00:03:

Well, we got good news–Roxette is relaxing after a week of studio time w/ Clarence. So I guess there will be more Roxette material in the near future. Some of us can’t get enough and start bickering about it–well, like I said earlier, start your own band and write your own music!! Anyways, yes Per is probably 60-70% of Roxette considering that he writes the lyrics, creates the demo’s and sings(plus play a rythmn guitar) But that doesn’t make Marie less valuable. If it wan’t for her we wouldn’t have gotten that huge explosion and over blown ballads like Listen to your heart and of course, It must have been love!!!! Her voice is very important for Roxette. It would be like Abba without Frida or Agnetha–it wouldn’t be the same without either one(also same if it wasn’t for the men either)
Man, I can’t wait for the new Roxette Material!!! Wooohoooo–I bet it’s gonna be kick-ass(better than HAND or RS) what do you guys think?

gyllene_tjej said on April 5, 2002 22:43:

I guess the scheduled Bingolotto performance won’t be delayed, it is just a playback thing after all. And, I don’t know what to believe, but according to Metro newspaper there is a release party in Sthlm right on April 15...

eva_roxer said on April 7, 2002 11:04:

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to say that I agree with gyllene_tjej, in reference to what an anonymous supposed Roxette fan wrote about Roxette without Marie.
Roxette can’t in any way exist without Marie, who is exactly the 50% of the band. Marie is not just a voice (an incredible one, by the way), because the way she sings Per’s songs make those songs what they are.
And I can’t imagine Roxette live performances without Marie....she gives everything on stage, and is the reference of the crowd with no doubt.
The best proof of all of that is the album “The World According To Gessle”: it’s a great album, with Roxette sound but without Marie....and I’m sure we all agree that it’s not the same...

Rox4ever!!

Eva.

gyllene_tjej said on April 8, 2002 09:29:

@Permarie: why do you think lyrics are bad? That’s how the short and simple punk songs sound like. I think the lyric is great, many of us girls have been waiting for a similar confession from Per ;-))))

rockstar73 said on April 9, 2002 17:42:

Well, for one thing Permarie if you’re looking for “pure music and art” i’d honestly have to say you shouldn’t be looking down Roxette’s catalogue then. Here are some simple reasons for this remark. Per has admitted to the public that he isn’t a genius when it comes to writing lyrics. Though he is an established singer/songwriter he will never be known for his songs because of this. But, he is unique in his own way–he writes catchy lyrics that grab the ears of millions when they play Roxette on the airwaves. Musicwise if it wasn’t for Clarence I’d say their songs–Per’s songs–would be going nowhere. If you’re a “wise person”–which has nothing to do with enjoying music–you would understand that there are thousands of songwriters out there writing “intelligent” songs and are more successful. Per isn’t going anywhere and neither will Roxette until marie is ready to retire. That is probably the only reason they would stop the music. Without Marie there wouldn’t be a Roxette feeling. Yes everyone IS replaceble and Marie doesn’t have that “unique” voice that catches everyones ears like Christina Aquilara, Celine, Barbara Streisand, Carole King and Alanis Morisette–and many more. I really don’t think she is talented when it comes to “changes” in her vocals–hell, she smokes and she knows that fucks up your vocals!!!! Anyways, I know by this “posting” I’m going to have a lot of people disagreeing and agreeing but, if you listen to her vocals she really never changes–same old ballads same old vocals. I personally dont think it’s the songs that she’s given either. I have her albums from her past career and it sounds the same even when she sings in her native tongue. No wise person would ever think that Roxette or Per for that matter, is more or beyond your highest bands and solo artists today(no, i dont think Britney or the boy bands are any good either–they suck, but who ever writes their lyrics is obviously doing well!) :o)
Sorry to bash them–it doesn’t mean I don’t like them(I love Roxette)–but even the critics in their own country hae nothing nice to say about them. They just keep on coming–nothing will stop Roxette unless they stop themselves. peace

@ Yashar: TDR is there to discuss everything about Roxette and related. That also includes MF’s and PG’s solowork!!! Stop flaming at my friend!!! If you don’t like the discussions about their solowork then just don’t read it!!!

Bibi said on April 11, 2002 09:26:

>>Well guys, remember this: if there was no Marie in Roxette, the band could still go on somehow (AKA- if you’d like to admit it or not, she can be replaced because all she really does is sing, for the most part anyways) but if there was no Per, there would be no Roxette. Remember, he writes the songs, arranges the songs, sings, etc. I think you get the picture.

Haha he also wrote & arranged his solosongs and they were a real flop while MF showed that she is also successful as a soloartist.

Roxette can’t be neither without Marie nor PG!!! Roxette = Marie + Per!
Per’s songs, MF’s voice and both of their personalities!!!
MF is definitely not replaceable!!! Never heard a stupid thing like that!

j_adoreMF said on April 11, 2002 18:16:

@Bibi... you go girl!!! It’s true, PG’s solo album was a biiiig flop (the “promotour” that he did didn’t seem to help much.) while MF sold gold solo!

Per needs MF to sing the songs he writes for her voice! They both need eachothers qualities, and that together makes them the brilliant band that we love so much.

I can’t believe we’re talking about MF being replacable on a Rox site. If you’ve nothing better to do that complain about Rox, you’re wasting your time on this website! MF would say “Get a life...do something else!!!”. ;-)

And I personally wouldn’t even BOTHER listen to Per’s songs if Marie wouldn’t sing them. I don’t like his solo and GT stuff atall! (but that’s just my taste)

SHE has THE VOICE and THE LOOKS, and the great personality, all that this band NEEDS!

gyllene_tjej said on April 11, 2002 20:57:

I don’t think Marie could ever be replaced... Roxette wouldn’t be the same at all, and besides her voice is SO great!
BUT I have to disagree with resi that Per is not noticed without Marie. Girl, take Gyllene Tider their heydays in the 80ties and then Återtåget which attracted way more people than one could expect. That speaks for itself, doesn’t it?

Bibi said on April 12, 2002 06:28:

@ gyllene_tjej: I e-mailed you some days ago because of the photo but the mai returned to me yesterday! Just want to let you know that I will post everything today... ;-)!

gesslefan_no1 said on April 12, 2002 12:25:

that was so well said Gyllene_tjej, I couldn´t have said it better myself...

@resi: I really hope you were joking when you said that. Per is not unimportant, everybody DOES notice him and he CAN make his own carrier, without marie. He was wellknown and loved by lots of swedish people before marie, wasn´t he...

Resi said on April 12, 2002 16:41:

@gyllene_tjej and @gesslefan_no1:

Phew, already after having transmitted what I wrote I already knew that I will be reminded of Gyllene Tider who were famous without Marie... of course, you are totally right! Maybe I expressed myself misunderstandable.
I never wanted to say that Per is not needed for Roxette, not at all!
Nevertheless, I can only speak for me: Without Marie, I would not have become a Roxette fan and so I would never ever had interest in Gyllene Tider or Per solo. But I am especially a Marie fan, so I can only speak from the sight of a Marie fan. Of course there are many Roxette fans who are fans mostly because of Per. And of course, without Per Gessle, Roxette would never have existed at all! At least it´s HIS songs which made me buy my first Roxette LP (at that moment I was not caring of Marie or Per as persons).

However, no one of the two is replacable, and each of them is 50% of Roxette - not more and not less.

Resi said on April 12, 2002 22:14:

Thanks Bibi!!! :-))))

gyllene_tjej said on April 13, 2002 07:40:

@Bibi: YOOPPIE!!! Thank you SO much, I will be waiting!!! :) And you’re right, my addy doesn’t work, I changed it.
@Permarie: I don’t think we can compare IWBYB with LTYH or WICF. The latter are ballads and were meant to be singles. You can’t compare their lyrics and say which is better. IWBYB is just a happy catchy pop tune with a great voice of Per, which makes the tune so special!
@everyone: stop comparing/rating Per and Marie. No matter which of them we love most, Roxette is still BOTH Per and Marie, and I can’t imagine it any different!!

gesslefan_no1 said on April 13, 2002 15:53:

@resi: Ok, I see what you mean now...

@bibi: I don´t agree with you completely. Of course it´s best to compare Marie and Per´s solo carrier and I have to admit that Marie is way more succesful...BUT Per was the front person, the singer and the one who wrote most of the lyrix of GT. the first time you see a band, isn´t it that person you look at then ??!!!? It´s mostly Per who have made GT famous.

gyllene_tjej said on April 13, 2002 22:05:

@resi: hallelujah! Yeah, let’s stop this senseless discussion! :)
@Bibi: I will e mail you in the nearest future :) Thanx again girl!!

Anyway, roxettenews says there will be IWBYB single, what do you guys count on? Do you think we’ll find some interesting Gessle Bsides, demos and such???
