Hmmm... Wouldn’t Joyride or Sleeping In My Car have been more suitable? :-)

Wow, really?? That is huge actually. GTA is a massive series. Good job!! That is a lot of exposure, especially to the younger generations that might not know who they are.

Ah, rats. I thought the title of this article meant that Roxette were going to be in the Greater Toronto Area :-D Wishful thinking continues...
Actually, “The Look” is in a radio commercial for a carpet store chain, which I think is all over Canada. That’s not nearly as cool as being in “Grand Theft Auto” though... (-;

Great exposure for Roxette.
btw
This has nothing to do with this thread, but I have to ask you guys if you have heard or seen anything about this Roxette - Joyride in Australia 92 DVD? I just saw it on cdon for sale: http://cdon.fi/musiikki/roxette/joyride_in_australia_92-7391261
It’s obviosly a bootleg? Does anyone have it? It’s the quality good?

I read the quality is downright awful.

@kman
Per said it was fake.

It isn’t fake, Per just thought it was, however, it still is a bootleg of some sort. Per is checking into it.

But still - it’s not the official release of any kind :)

It’s not really related but I heard “Sleeping in my car” used when presenting the logo of the handball (or was it basketball?) in Spain. They only use the music. Can someone confirm it? Thanks!

That was really cool to see.
There’s quite a few people asking who sang the song on youtube...
’The Look’ might climb up the iTunes chart one of these days :-)

the use the look in ballad of gay tony because gay tony was a club owner in thew 80’s so simc or joyride would really be out of place
so say we all

I’m sure that dvd is just “Live-Ism” - one can see it’s not official, it looks “home-made”.
By the way, TEV, do you have this new pic on TDR in BIGGER format for us to download??
Great to have Roxette get so much exposure!!!
tevensso (moderator) said on October 11, 2009 12:55:
Here’s a bigger version. I have to check with Per if bigger than this is OK with him: http://www.dailyroxette.com/files/rox2009.jpg

That’s very Cool because I’m a Fan of the GTA Video Game, but it’s a shame that it is not on Sony Playstation Portable or on PC(because I don’t have the Xbox 360, I only have the PSP and my PC to play such cool Games)

Have Fun!!!
