    Latest rumour: According to oe3 (have to say they were very good with their infos so far...) Rob might play Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus"... :o

    Falco was our biggest pop star (sadly he is already dead) and had a huge hit with Rock Me Amadeus in the eighties, that song even went to no. 1 in the US billboard charts.

    I was never a fan of Falco but I did like him and his music.

    Honestly, just the thought of Rob singing the chorus (I reckon it will only be the chorus, can't really see him rap in German :wacko: ) with the crowd chanting along gave me goose bumps all over.

    It would be so very special. We'll see... B)

    Maybe Rob wants to make his contribution to the Mozart year. :o

    Living in Austria you can't get past this: This year would have been Mozart's 250th birthday and the whole of 2006 has been declared the year of Mozart.

     

    On the following link you can see some pics from or rather around the video shoot.

    They are all dressed in black. Em, I'm not so sure about that first picture. It gets me an association that I don't like. <_<

    Well, maybe it's only me, I am a history teacher... Do they want to provoce a scandal... ? I hope not. :cry:

    Anyway, it says in the article that again the video shoot took the whole day (one part of the video is said to have been shot outside of Vienna), Rob was seen in the hotel at around 11 pm. And he went up to his room alone. :o

     

    Only ONE DAY to go ! :yahoo:

    And only two days for you all to listen on the radio ! :cheer:

     

    PS: jupiter, the report for day 3 isn't very interesting, basically it just says that he shoots the video at the Semper Depot

     

     

     

    Well, I don't know what intentions the guy has got. Maybe he only wants the recording for private use...

     

    It is said that Rob returned to his hotel around midnight yesterday, the video shoot continues today at

    11 am today.

    There was a casting in Vienna for the dancers a few weeks ago and at the time of the casting they didn't know what it was about, they were only told it was a music video for a big star... :o

     

    Well, it won't help Rob in the UK when I buy my copy here in Austria and frankly I don't give a damn how it will do in the Austrian charts, nor will the rest of the world. I was already thinking about ordering Rudebox at Amazon UK, would that count for the UK charts then...?

    Then we'd be up to, what is it now, 4 copies... ? :huh:

     

    Let's hope that there will be more fans like jupiter, who buy the single not because they really like it but out of pure loyalty to the man. And if we're lucky, some might buy it out of pity :lol:

    I'm not that sarcastic normally but I need to be like this now to keep me from getting too depressed over the whole Rudebox issue :unsure:

    EXCLUSIVE: ROBBIE TOUR FEAR

    Exclusive Singer was scared by five months on the road

    Beverley Lyons

    ROBBIE Williams claims he was worried about the length of his current Close Encounters tour... in case he found it too hard to keep up the pace.

     

    The singer, who has gigged for seven weeks of his five-month 2006 tour, said: "I've only toured for, at the most, one month at a time when I was in Take That and in my solo career.

     

    "This tour's five months and I was very concerned that I wasn't going to get through it or that something would happen.

     

    "I got very scared of the length.

     

    "But it's easy. I've done two months and I'm still here - two arms, two legs. I've still got a voice. I'm good."

     

    Robbie, who plays Hampden Park in Glasgow on September 1 and 2, said that everything on the tour has been going really well.

    "I can't believe how fast it is actually getting from one gig to another," he added.

     

     

    So far he's played arenas in Dublin, Brussels, Paris and Amsterdam, and he reckons one of his highlights was in the San Siro Stadium in Milan.

     

     

    He said: "Italy had just won the World Cup when I got on stage in this huge stadium that looked like the Death Star from Star Wars on the outside. The San Siro Stadium just carries on forever and the crowd just doesn't stop.

     

     

    "And it was like I'd been invited to their party because they'd won the World Cup."

     

     

    He also found his first night in Munich more of a pleasure than a chore.

     

     

    "I don't know why it was," he said. "I think it was because the weather wasn't so hot.

     

     

    "Everywhere else we've been has been really, really hot.

     

     

    "But the first night in Munich it threatened to rain and I think that just gives the crowd more energy because the sun is sapping for me and the crowd.

     

     

    "I think I performed the best on the first night, the best I have performed this year.

     

     

    "I hope the people who were at that concert that night agree with me."

     

     

    Robbie says he can't wait to visit River Plate Stadium in Argentina and the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City.

     

     

    "I'm looking forward to doing that," he said.

     

     

    "And that's South America. That's thousands of miles away from Stokeon- Trent. Why are they buying tickets, you know?"

     

     

    Although Robbie has been enjoying playing songs such as Sin Sin Sin, Come Undone, Feel and Angels in his sci-fi themed concerts, he reckons he's not had as many laughs on tour this time round.

     

     

    He admitted: "There's not a lot of shenanigans, really. My best friend on tour would be Johnny and we wind people up.

     

     

    "There's been no tricks or anything.

     

     

    "It's difficult to say whether there's been shenanigans because I'm either in my hotel room or I'm at the venue."

     

     

    Robbie believes he owes it to his fans to be on top form, so he's been keeping out of nightclubs.

     

     

    He said: "You know I can't go out really and sometimes I can't even go to the hotel bar. So there's not been a lot of shenanigans. There's just been a lot of 'let's watch this movie' or 'let's do a quiz'.

     

     

    "Because 1.6. million or 2.8 million people have turned up and bought the tickets, I've got to turn up and give them a good show.

     

     

    "It's scary."

     

     

    And you can hear Robbie's concert in Vienna live on radio. Emap Radio Events, the Glasgow-based team which runs the Up Close gigs and the Live + Loud pop festival, is behind one of the biggest radio events in years.

     

     

    On Saturday, Emap stations across Scotland - Clyde 1, Forth One, Tay FM, NorthSound 1, MFR, West FM and Radio Borders - join an exclusive network of radio stations across Europe, Africa, Australia and the Middle East to broadcast two hours of Robbie's concert live from the Ernst Happel Stadium in the Austrian capital.

     

     

    The concert broadcast will be produced for the entire network by Radio Clyde engineering supremo Gary Lovatt from a state-ofthe- art outside broadcast truck backstage.

     

     

     

    I'm more concerned about what impact it will have on the sales of the new album. I reckon it might scare a lot of the Robbie likers (though not lovers) off buying the album.

     

     

    Exactly. Forgot to mention that, it's my biggest worry. :cry:

    And it would be such a shame, because I do think the rest of the album will be really good and people would like it - if they listened to it, that is..

    There is currently a poll going on at TRWS too and the overall mood is getting a little ... depressed. :cry:

    There are many on the site who like it but even those (myself included here) think that Rudebox (the single) could be a mistake and will probably be a flop. And everyone's like "I hope I'm wrong" :(

     

    Maybe I'm imagining things but I have the overall feeling that in general the UK public /media (sadly, not only Sun- Vicky) is currently trying to bring Rob down. :arrr: I've actually had that feeling for quite a while. Rudebox is certainly not helping, but I think things wouldn't be much different without that single.

    It's good to see that some of you still have hopes that Rudebox could do well. As I said "I HOPE I'M WRONG"

     

    News getting in by the minute... Just read on the website of radio oe3 (which is also the station that is responsible for the whole live broadcast) that Rob will be shooting a video in Vienna tomorrow and on Wednesday, the location is of course top secret. :o

    If this is true, I guess it can only be a video for Lovelight because what else could it be...? :huh:

    Well, it could just be a silly rumour.

    Another impressive looking stadium

     

    Wonder if they have a working web camera :huh:

     

    Don't really know anything about that.

     

    In case anyone's interested, the building above is either the Museum of Natural History or the Museum of Arts. The two buildings face each other and look almost the same, so I really can't tell you which of the two it is.

    Enough cultural studies for today, lol

    I just checked out the weather forecast and I really hope it's accurate, because it sounds very good.

    After the heat wave we've had terrible weather in August so far, but now it seems to be getting better each day. We could get 30 degrees celsius on Friday and Saturday (and no rain hopefully), so maybe there's a chance Rob will take that jacket off... :wub:
