I don't know yet. My songs haven't reach the number one position.

Do you like if the people call you like "the keyboards of Roxette" or "the back vocals of Roxette"? (Martías Bernal, Argentina) 

I think Clarence is the keyboard player in Roxette and I used to do a lot of percussion and backing vocals (plus some keyboard stuff). I don't care what people call me. That was a long time ago and I don't bother what people call me really.

Why Vicky Benckert went out of Roxette? (Martías Bernal, Argentina) 

Well, she was replaced just like me. A new line-up with 2 guitars and 2 drummers instead. To get a heavier live sound, I suppose.

Why you went out of Roxette? (Martías Bernal, Argentina)

See answer above... 

Have you travelled abroad (either on tour or on private travels) besides the Roxette tour? If so, where have you been to? And where would you like to travel to? (Kellz, Brazil) 

Well, I've done 2 tours with other bands than Roxette outside of Sweden and that was a short (not a tour) one with a band called 1,2,3. We did a couple of gigs in London. And then I did a European tour with a swedish band called The Creeps (they also won a grammy in Sweden that year). And yes, I've been travelling quite a lot around Europe on Holidays and also been to USA. The only places I haven't been to is Asia and Africa.

What did you think about Brazil? (Tuca, Brazil) 

I like Brazil. It's a nice country, but a bit scary during the nights in Rio though.
I would love to see more of the country one day. We didn't see much of the countryside, which I think is fantastic. But we took a lunch outside Rio one day and that was great. Getting away from the city...

Hi Staffan,
during the tour with Roxette : who decided which part you and which part your brother should play on the keyboards of a song ? (Rothe, Belgium) 

Well, Clarence played most of it (he's much better than I am on keyboards) and I played the things left over. Most of the time I played pad stuff and some melody parts or brass and horn stuff. Clarence played all the piano parts, organs and stuff like that. He played a lot.

When do you think that ROXETTE will finish? (Sabi-GESSLE, Argentina) 

I don't know.

If you ddin´t play with Roxette, in whick group would you like to be in? (Sabina Granero, Argentina) 

Actually I don't know. The most important thing for me is that the music has to be the kind I like and also the people in the band.

Do you think Per Gessle is a great musican? (Alvaro y Marcelo, Uruguay) 

He's a good song-writer, not a real musician. He's got a great sense for melodies.

Is true that in the join the joyride tour you was the vicky benckert's lover? (Alvaro y Marcelo Marques (A&M Brothers), Uruguay) 

No, I was not her lover. No one in the band was Vicky's lover  (as far as I know).

Which are your favorites bands in the world? (Alvaro y Marcelo Marques (A&M Brothers), Uruguay)

I listen to a lot of different music, but I like The Corrs, Crowded House, and soft music like that.

We know of some songs performed at the MTV Unplugged show that were not broadcasted (Fading Like A Flower, So Far Away). Why do you think they were edited off the show? (Alvaro y Marcelo Marques (A&M Brothers), Uruguay)

I don't know. I don't even remember that we played them, but I know there are one long and one short version of that performance. I don't know if these songs are on the long version. It's a long time ago...

Do you remember the day the band recorded SO FAY AWAY and HERE COMES THE WEEKEND at the Buenos Aires hotelroom? I'd like you to share with us any memories you have of that session. I think they managed to create a great atmosphere wich captured in those tracks gives them a great feeling. Do you know if they ever repeated the experience of recording at hotel rooms? And most important of all: do you know of any song recorded during the Tourism sessions but never released? (Diego Buzzato, Argentina)

I don't know who came up with the idea, but I just got a call from someone in the band, that the next songs they needed me to go to Per's room to record, so I went up there and we recorded the song. And about other songs not released, I don't know. The songs I was involved in are all there.

In the back of the booklet of the TOURISM album there's a cassette in wich you can read 9 song titles. One of them is "DON'T YOU...". I always wanted to know if this is a demo of an unreleased track or if it has already been released under another title. Since you worked during the Tourism sessions, I thought you may have the answer! (Diego Buzzato, Argentina)

Sorry, but I don't know what it is...

How are Per and Marie outside Roxette? (Arnaldo Mariano Suarez, Argentina)

They are great!

What Roxette song you like more?  (Arnaldo Mariano Suarez, Argentina)

I don't know which song I like best, but it's probably one of "Fireworks", "Almost Unreal", "How do you do" or "Fading like a flower" Some of the other great songs I've probably heard too much to mention them in this list.

What Roxette song your don´t like?  (Arnaldo Mariano Suarez, Argentina)

I don't like "View from a hill"

What do you make more than Roxette?  (Arnaldo Mariano Suarez, Argentina)

I sing with my own band "Nattugglorna" which is a look-alike show with songs by a famous swedish artist called Magnus Uggla.

How you meet Per? (Arnaldo Mariano Suarez, Argentina)

First time I met Per was at a party we had when I played with a swedish singer.
We had a party after our concert in Halmstad and we went to a club with Per
and our band.

Are you related to Clarence Ofwerman? (Christopher)

Yes, Clarence is my 5 year older brother. But it’s not because of him I played with Roxette. Actually I think he didn’t want me in the band in the beginning. I knew Per and Marie a little before I started in Roxette and I think Marie suggested me for the band (we played a couple of times together before Roxette).
