The Daily Roxette

Marie Fredriksson Online

Mattiasrox On-Line

Staffan Öferman
What kind of sites do you like to visit, while you're on-line? (Cris, Br)

I usually follow other people's links and they take me to places I never would go to otherwise. It's nice to see what people recommends. Usually I look at nice looking sites to get ideas for my own programming skills. I got a lot of sites in my computer that I don't export. Someday I'm going to do a nice homepage of my own.


Hello Staffan!
I was one of them who won your autograph from the fanclub. We seem to have quite equal valuations. Now I wonder: What do you think of Fools Garden? (Madelene Forsberg, Sweden) 

I don't think I've heard them that much. Is that the group that made the song Lemon Tree? Well, that's not my kinda music really. And that song also has stolen parts from an old song with the Police, which is one of my old favourite bands.


Hi Staffan! Whit whom are you workking with??? KISSES FROM ARGENTINA!! (Sabi, Argentina) 

I'm working in an advertising agency now.
When I'm woriking with music, I have my own band.


Hi Staffan! If you had to chose the best Roxette song, whick one will be and why? Kisses frrom Argentina!! (Sabina Granero, Argentina) 

I'm sorry, but I just can't choose one single song. It all depends on what mood I'm in, and that's the same with all kinds of music, for me. Sometimes I like pop songs and sometimes rock, sometimes slower and sometimes fast. It all depends on the mood I'm in.


What kind of music do you like to hear? What are your favourite bands/artists? (Cris, Br) 

I like The Corrs, Peter Gabriel and Crowded House a lot. But I also like a lot of other stuff. Don't remember right now.


Do you know what Vicki is doing nowadays? Do you keep contact with her? (Cris, Br) 

I haven't seen Vicky since Maries birthday last year and she was doing great.


Do you meet Per and/or Marie "extra-officially" (ie. not to talk about work and stuff; just meet and chi-chat)? (Cris, Br) 

No, we never meet these days.
Sometimes at a party or when I've worked with them only.


Do you like The Simpsoms? (Sebastián Baioni, Argentina) 

I don't have a special favourite on TV. I watch movies a lot and The Simpsons are funny. But I usually don't watch that.


Hi Staffan!!! Thanks you very much for give us this big opportunity to know more about yourself, answer our doubts and left us know more about your artistic-world with Roxette and outside Roxette!!!, Thanks you for be like you are!!!. Have you got any proyect to work with your daugther? How old is she? Could you show us some picture of herself?. I don´t know if this question is for you but "when we are going to can see the section of picture?". Bye and thanks again for all! I hope you can answer my question. (Jorge Gómez, Barcelona-Spain)

No, I haven't got any project to work with my daughter. She used to have "a band", with 3 of her friends, but as they grew away from each other, I don't think the band exist anymore. They had one really great song that we both wrote together, so maybe one day she wants to release it, who knows? She's 13 years old and I don't wanna expose pictures of her here. She has her own homepage, so if you find it, you probably can see pictures of her too.


What tipe of music do you play at your own band? (Jorge Diaz, Argentina) 

My band is a look-alike show of a famous pop singer in Sweden called Magnus Uggla. It's all in Swedish and the lyrics and very important in this show. But the music is good too and it's really fun to do that show.


Why did you leave Roxette? (Caroline WILTZ, Mexico) 

I didn't leave Roxette, they wanted to change the line-up with a rougher sound and wanted two drummers and two guitars, and I don't play these instruments. So, there wasn't any work for me and Vicky in the band any longer. We were just musicians hired for the tour, just like the rest of the band. Roxette are Per & Marie and the band is different from time to time.


Have Per & Marie changed after all these years of "Fame and Fortune" or are they still the same? (Caroline WILTZ, Mexico) 

Of course they have changed, we all do. But if it has to do with fame and fortune I don't know. They're still nice people and that is what I count.


Me again. I was just wondering in which song your daughter did some vocal parts for Per's solo album? (Caroline WILTZ, Mexico) 

I think the song is called "Elvis in Germany"


Thank you for answering my questions. Now that I was reading all your answers I was wondering if it's not hard to have a "normal" life. I mean even if you were not the lead singer in Roxette most of the fans were able to identify you, I know I was very thrilled when I met you (when Roxette came to Mexico in March 25th and 26th 1992), so my point is that you were in the spotlight for quite a long time and now you are far behind the scenes. So how does it feel? Sorry if this question is a little bit too long. (Caroline WILTZ, Mexico) 

People didn't recognize me that often, so it's not a big difference now. I've always been living a "normal life". I don't even think some of my neighbours knew what I was doing at that time.


Do you like the remix versions of Stars? (Jorge Diaz, Argentina) 

I miss the children on that version. That was a nice touch to the album version.


Do you live in Hamstad? (Jorge Diaz, Argentina)

No I live outside of Stockholm... far away from Halmstad. More close to Marie's place. And I work very close to Per's apartment in Stockholm.


How do you feel havening your own band? (Martías Bernal, Argentina) 

It's great having my own band. I really love being on stage.


What did you felt when you felt Roxette? (Martías Bernal, Argentina) 

I think it's supposed to be ...when you left Roxette.
I really don't know what I felt. They wanted to change the line-up and that's cool. I'm glad I've been with them for such a long time and all the things I've experienced along the tours.


Are you afraid at the failure? (Martías Bernal, Argentina) 

Don't know what you mean.


What do you think about fans? (Jorge Diaz, Argentina) 

It's like asking someone what they like people. Every fan is a person. You can't judge a fan cause he or she is a fan. But I like friendly people.
