I no longer feel that this place is nescessary for me. Quite frankly, I’m getting sick of all this anger about all sorts of crap (the war on Iraq, for one) being slashed at me. Hell. I can’t even make up a ’Roxette should do a James Bond theme song’ without getting flamed!
And I’m quite sick of it at this stage. I feel it is no longer nescessary to put up with this bull-shit, as I feel Roxette will never do anything again. Do you seriously think that Roxette will be back? There fan base has been depleting since Tourism, their ever-more unpopular in the big countries, and their fans are, put simply, flocking away! No matter what micro-success The ballad Hits had in the UK, it still didn’t matter for much - as it barely went Silver. And as for The Pop Hits - don’t get me started!
Marie is ’waiting to get better’ and Per is back with the band he always wanted to be back with. Who’s to say Marie wants to do Roxette on a European-scale again? She’ll probably bounce back with a solo album or two in Sweden (just cause it’s English doesn’t mean it will be released everywhere).
Even if Roxette were to get back together, chances are, without this place - I’ll never know about it!
As I said, I don’t think it’s worth it to stay here. Too much crap, no Roxette around - there’s no point anymore! And I feel I’ve out-grown their shabby pop anyway. I’ll be honest - I haven’t listened to a Roxette album in, at least, one year! I’ve moved on - I’m now focusing on Bjork (who, I’m happy to say, is aware of her fans! She’ll be releasing two new album in the next year!!!). I’m also focusing on Natalie Imbruglia (who’s new album will be out in the Summer), and there’s also Alanis Morissette, The Cardigans (who are, at the moment, touring in the US - which is more than I could say for Roxette in the past 10 years!) and Garbage (who’ll be back soon). And also Sheryl Crow, REM (back in October) and Nelly Furtado (who will soon be performing in front of 1,000,000,000 people at the Euro 2004 event).
Hope you all have fun, swinging your thumbs, for the next 3 years!

But weren’t you banned like a week ago, anyways? Sure tDR would beg you to come back!
Olympus said on May 27, 2004 20:43:
I agree with you Loud. I’m not gonna wait around for years for Roxette to come back. But when they do, boy will I get excited! No need to dismember them completely. But, if you’re getting sick of them (like I am getting sick of The Corrs) , then go ahead - enjoy your Bjork. I just hope she’ll give you the right piece of mind to calm you down!
By the way Loud-Talker, I hope you don’t make as big of a fool of yourself in The Cardigans forum as you do here.
ally77 said on May 27, 2004 20:47:
lol... would it not be better to just go, than make a song or a drama...??
Beside, I also don’t think Roxette will do anything new, I think that is long over... put it this way I shall be HAPPY if they do, but ain’t bothered if it does not happen... it’s no big deal... I have plenty of memories to last me anyway!!
Olympus said on May 27, 2004 20:50:
its a shame that I dont. I only started likeing Roxette at have a nice day. and he’s trying to go out “with a bang”.
Denstandigaresan said on May 27, 2004 20:53:
{Sings Bonjovi} GOING dooooown in a blaze of glorryyyyyy.
Might as well go off on one, one last time!
I haven’t listened to a Roxette album in about a year either... but I have listened to rox songs, and Per and Marie stuff.
And no, I don’t think they’ll be back... but I’m not gonna throw hissy over it. :)
ally77 said on May 27, 2004 20:56:
I have had (counts again, the years!!!) 13 years now of ROXETTE and am so pleased to have been around for the early stuff... besides the Joyride era.. was the BEST!!!
Olympus said on May 27, 2004 21:00:
I am 22, so I was around at the time of Joyride - I just didn’t like them. I thought they were too poppy for me (I was BIG into Guns ’N’ Roses at that time). It was Wish I Could Fly that finally converted me.
And my name is Jessica, I am from Greece, and have just recently got access to the Internet, Roxette was one of the first thing I looked in Google - and I foudn this place.
Jud (moderator) said on May 27, 2004 21:02:
hm am I dreaming or a while ago it said in the user info that you come from Spain? :S
Denstandigaresan said on May 27, 2004 21:05:
Split personality perhaps? Oh I do like those.
Come out come out whoever you arrrrre. ;)
Jud (moderator) said on May 27, 2004 21:06:
maybe I need some sleep -_- *zzzzz*
”@ Judith... your getting worse than me and Manda!”
HUH?!
Olympus said on May 27, 2004 21:08:
i made a mistake there. i am a bit drunk.... which explains all the ’edits’ (too many spell mistakes).
Olympus said on May 27, 2004 21:10:
and by the way, Loud... that new Natalie Imbruglia album thing is still just a rumour.

You made a mistake about which country you are from?? Big difference between SPAIN & GREECE... well there was when I last checked..
@ Judith, I ment with the paranoia!! ;)
purplemedusa said on May 27, 2004 21:18:
Sure you’re drunk ... with a brandspanking new TDR
account!
Jud (moderator) said on May 27, 2004 21:20:
@ Judith, I ment with the paranoia!! ;)
>>> yeah I’m getting old - and I think I spend too many hours here ;)
ally77 said on May 27, 2004 21:26:
me too!!! far too many, I need a life... can I sue TDR for being addictive... ;)
Olympus said on May 27, 2004 21:32:
setting up an account wasn’t very hard to do was it (and i am not THAT drunk!).
what are you all implying here?
Vixzter said on May 27, 2004 21:34:
Its life Jim but not as we know it.....
too many knobbers around here these days
ally77 said on May 27, 2004 21:35:
Sorry if we sound cynical.. but we have a lot of new uses... seems one goes and another arrives... I think putting you where from Spain, rather than Grecce... did not help....
Olympus said on May 27, 2004 21:40:
What was the big deal? I am from Athens in Greece and have lived there all my life. Maybe if I tell you all my exact adress, you’d stop accusing me of being someone you obviously all hate? What exactly did Loud do?
Olympus said on May 27, 2004 21:45:
getting out of what?... and I thought you left? ... maybe you can tell me what you done to annoy all these lovely people!
ally77 said on May 27, 2004 21:47:
I don’t think he did anything to annoy anyone, he just voiced his opinion... I think!
Vixzter said on May 27, 2004 21:47:
i wasn’t gone, just can’t be arsed with all this Roxette talk when we all know GT are touring and theres no hope in hell of any Rox Stuff soon (if ever again), so if ppls don’t like it then sod off ;)
they never will get back up to the grand heights of early 90’s coz no one has any taste anymore , so i will continue to be loyal 2 my Look Sharp cd in my own little world ;) and worship my per and marie autographs and think of days gone by instead of bloody moaning coz its been a long time since they did something.
that made sense ;) I was going for a long post cos no one reads them! (past the first couple of lines!!) ;)
just the other day i said to myself ’stop looking at the topics on TDR as you know you’ll just laugh and shake ure head’ and now look what happened i ramble on here again *goes and looks for help*
i wonder sometimes if our newer ’mates’ on here ever read the front page of this website to see whats going on in the world of Rox, coz if they do all this bollox is surely a wind up LOL
Vixzter said on May 27, 2004 21:48:
and while i was writting that this topic shot from 26 to 35 posts ;P
ally77 said on May 27, 2004 21:51:
Your getting slow there Vix.. but am with you there, I am happy in my own little Roxette bubble with Joyride.. not arsed about anything else.. or if they produce anything new...
I mean come on.. it has to end sometime... :)
Vixzter said on May 27, 2004 21:53:
some ppls just can’t face it though ;)
bloody hell ive wrote alot tonight! thats what 2 pints of Cafferys does O_o
Vixzter said on May 27, 2004 21:58:
Yea, but i think some ppls are under an illusion that she isn’t actualy human and doesn’t actualy want some time for herself ;P
ally77 said on May 27, 2004 22:02:
True Vix... can you belive there are people here, that don’t seem to get that fact she got sick, and expect her to pick up where she left off and going jumping around the world on a tour again!!
Knowing Marie, and being a fan for so long I think I do.... she will just want to spend quality time with her family and watch her kids grow up...
Vixzter said on May 27, 2004 22:05:
and on that note i’m off to bed ;)
have u noticed we have conversations on here LOL, get back on msn for god sake ;)
prolly get up tomorrow and this will be all greyed out ;)
ally77 said on May 27, 2004 22:06:
True, although I said I was going to bed an hour ago, it’s that Manda one... keeping me up till all hours!! ;)
ally77 said on May 27, 2004 22:07:
Or it could be that nice new swivel leather chair I got last week, tis comfortable... I don’t wanna move from it... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Denstandigaresan said on May 27, 2004 22:09:
OY! Don’t bring me in on this woman! Don’t start me off!
I’ve avoided this thread, cause of the bad influence YOU have on me! ;)
Tsk.
You’ll start my paranoia off again. I’m keeping schtum(sp) which is good for me. I deserve a doggy treat. :D
Roxlander said on May 27, 2004 22:35:
What happened to Loud Talker is what happens to people who aren’t loyal fans. If you wanna leave this place, just do it, and good luck with your life!
Denstandigaresan said on May 27, 2004 23:26:
Just kick up a fuss before you go... then don’t actually leave and post AFTER you’re suppose to have left.
Just LEAVE don’t devote a thread to it.
If you’re expecting to be begged to stay, it ain’t gonna happen.
That isn’t directed at anyone btw. ;)
Olympus said on May 27, 2004 23:41:
I dont get this irony. why are you saying ’it’s not directed at anyone’ when it’s directed at Loudtalker? And i’ve been going over some his topics, to see what all the fuss as about, and you all didnt know that he ’wasnt loyal’ when all the trouble happened (when he got ’banned’, for example)
Olympus said on May 28, 2004 04:56:
he sure got a lot of replies though, didn’t he? 52 replies in 4 hours, more than most topics in their lifetime!
Jud (moderator) said on May 28, 2004 07:05:
anyway, I think it’s time to stop with this double personality.
Unless Olympus is L-T’s gf and live in the same house *cough*
kachina008 said on May 28, 2004 09:09:
Judith: As the forum admin, can’t you look at the ip addresses of everyone who becomes a member/logs in/posts? I hope that you do have that power and lay to rest this multiple personality issue. These days, anyone who behaves in a “certain way” is automatically labeled as some misbehaving person in the past, and I find that disturbing.
ally77 said on May 28, 2004 10:26:
I think registered they where from SPAIN, then changing it to GREECE might have had something to do with this one....
I could understand a simple mistake but not knowing where you are from!!! ????
LittleGirl78 said on May 27, 2004 19:27:
OH!
Thank you for let us know! :P
