Im behind yu 100% Robbie!!:D :D :D

Who is with me??????

eh????

Lurrve

Emsie xoxoxoxoxoxxo

p.s:lr:

I don't like this kind of music but Rudebox is vey fantastic.. It's fucking great.. I wanna listen to his album..

Hmmm, I've just heard Rudebox for the first time. It's not really my sort of thing (I like to be along to sing along Karaoke style a'la Strong!) but I will support Robbie all the way!! x

I quite like rudebox but have to agree with you 80schild, I prefer the more sing a long sort of song, but will buy the album cos it's Robbie

Well, I have to admit Rudebox is growing on me.. I SO hope that is Rob is the granny suit - we all know he has a penchant for dressing up! Oh, I'll just cry with laughter!! :lol:

I actually love it now - I keep catching myself singing it during the day http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/musik/c020.gif

need to hear it a few more times. Do like the mixes shell has been giving us.

It seems that I am a bit of a tool and can't quite figure out where any of the downloads are, save for the videos at Rudebox74.com. Can some one point me in the right direction? Seems I need some hand holding today:D

Holly - I rather think the thread has been edited. The bit with the downloads must be elsewhere now http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/konfus/a058.gif

That's what I figured - Can't find it on the BBC site... By chance no one knows where I, the slow one, could find them now...?

(Sodding Vacation... I am likely going to have to wait until the blasted album is released at this point!)

you are right missus there is another thread , try the news one on the home page.

I've only heard part of the song and it's not really my kind of music. However, I reckon it will grow on me the way "Radio" did. I still would prefer to hear Robbie singing the usual kind of music he does. He has such a lovely voice and I reckon it will go to waste on techno dance tracks.

If all you are hearing is this dub version, then you are missing most of the song! I loved it from the moment I heard it on Radio 1 last week.

I actually love it now - I keep catching myself singing it during the day http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/musik/c020.gif

Yeah, I was pretty unsure at first, but now I'm the same! I hope I've only been singin it to myself at work, and not out loud. No-one has asked me what the hell I'm sayin "Rudebox" for, anyway! :confused:

Has everyone seen this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzIkKReW2SA

hi i just want to ask a little question. Is Rudebox the right style for Robbie? I'm unsure so i thought i would ask you lot
:) Thanks x :)

Very good question and good for you for asking it as I think that it will bring on a lot of debate......

I do not think that there is always a right or wrong style for an artist to adopt, and I think it is healthy for artists to adopt a different genre now and again to avoid them becoming sterotyped I suppose.

It a bit like it is healthy for a successful actor to take on different roles to avoid them always being seen as the good guy or bad guy.

I think it is great and brave for Rob to do what he has done aside from whether it is 'liked' or not. A bit like when he did his Swing material, it was a change from what he was familiar with.

There will be some people who will LOVE his new style who have never purchased a RW Album in their lives before....

There will be some existing fans who will think what on earth is this rubbish......

There will some fans who love his old stuff but will be willing to support his new style and be open to be influenced by it ......(This is where I sit by the way)

What I guess the real question is ...Do we want it to be the right style?

Part of me thinks I love his material to date so much that I don't want him to change his style to the extent that he stops producing the old stuff. Is this what you are thinking as well?

Are we concerned that the old Rob has moved on and become a new Rob which we are a bit unsure about? I think this is too black and white.

My view is that Robs job is to sell records. He has a massive fan base who have been buying his records of his material to date. He would have to reestablish a new massive fan base, or take a lot of existing fans with him to his new style to continue selling the same amount of records.

Lets not worry. Lets enjoy the variety as it is supposed to be the spice of life!

Rob knows what his fans like and I am sure that he will continue to deliver that for us.

I think it’s good for Rob, one way or the other. If the whole music listening world turns against him for doing something he wants to do and he believes in, it’s a pity. But by then he learned something out of it, and that’s a good thing also. I don’t think this will happen. He will lose some and gain some. And when his next album is safe and recognizable he’ll gain the fans again he had lost with Rudebox..
And when even nobody is going to buy this new album, nothing is lost. He did something he wanted to do, enough. The only thing happened is he grew older and wiser.
Honestly, I can’t understand what’s all the fuss about. He released 1 new song of a new album. Wait till the whole album is released or leaked, listen to it and see if you like it. Trippin’ was the first released song from IC, the rest of the album is slightly different. You’ll see: it’s a good thing for Rob, lots of publicity to begin with. And it doesn’t matter people are talking in a good or bad way about him. People are talking about him.

Wait till the whole album is released or leaked, listen to it and see if you like it.

I couldn't agree more.

We can't really make a judgement on his new style until we have heard the rest of the new album which could be fantastic!

He believes in it, and I trust his judgement, so thats enough for me for now.

i really admire Rob for experimenting with his music. i agree it might not be to everyones taste ( i love it ) but atleast it shows growth, maturity and most importantly confidence in his own ability as an artist.

when you think about it most long standing bands/artists have tried different styles to their norm, ( e.g Elton john,U2, Bowie to name a few ) which have not all been favourably received either, but they are still around and their music is still being enjoyed by many.

i just think (hope ) this transition in Rob shows that he intends to be around for a very long time to come and i welcome it with open arms.

Think we should wait for the album and judge from there. I personally think Rudebox could be one of those "one off" songs like Tripping and Radio which have done really well. I am glad that he is experimenting and trying different styles. I just wish the press would leave him alone and wait for the whole album to be reviewed before slating him!

Fair play to Rob for doing what he wants to do and if he enjoys making music in this style, then it is the right style for him, I guess.

"i really admire Rob for experimenting with his music. ... but atleast it shows growth, maturity and most importantly confidence in his own ability as an artist."

I tried to say almost the same thing, but I deleted it. Because I was caught in my english:-) and couldn't get it right...hahaha,
thanks sheps for putting it in the right words!

Great topic - sent you some rep ;)

Totally agree with Vicky D when she wrote "do we want it to be his style?"

When i saw him perform it in Milan he looked to be enjoying it & he performed it as 'Robbie' would - really reminded me of seeing RockDJ live... i wasnt expecting him to perform it as he did for some reason, i thought new music style, new performing style - if you get me.

I think his new dance music will draw a younger membership base also.

Is Rudebox right for Rob? If he is happy... so be it..its about time he took some pleasure out of all this and did things he wanted to do.

thanks Nat, i think your english is great, you put us brits to shame, i can't speak any other language.:(

Thanks Sheps! British people don't have to speak a foreign language, (allmost) everybody speaks english....Nobody speaks dutch, so we have to:-)

Hi!
I agree with your points of view! I think we have good reasons to believe it will be a great album just like everything he did before :)
And whatever will come, it won't erase the successes from the past.

I was worried when i heard tripping for the 1st time last year (what a difference!!) and i admit it isn't one of my faves, however i love intensive care tooooooo much!
Let's wait.

I liked it! Besides, it's always good for artists to experiment.

I looooooooove RUDEBOX! It's awesome, and it's what Robbie listens to himself... to me it's like eletro-rap mix... and it'll be great. Remember the "Radio" mixed opinions, then came "Tripping"... this whole album will be great too because it's Robbie's music, and we love him!!! ;)

i think he is very brave trying something this different and i think he has pulled it off - what a man

I think anything Robbie does is great...it shows hes an all round entertainer...and can throw his hand to anything

Its really grown on me and i love it - the backing track bit have i heard it b4? Bugging me!!!

how weird is this, i woke up in the middle of the night last night singing the chorus to myself in my head http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/a010.gif so it must be bloody catchy!!!!

i love the song. :D :D

ive had another thought - controversy = publicity - need i say more

I think he will be keeping the private jet.

I think he will be keeping the private jet.
:pmsl:

I don't think he'll go bankrupt either:D

not possible i dont think !

omg,oldest son has just floored me by saying that he loves rudebox,

omg,oldest son has just floored me by saying that he loves rudebox,
:dance: :dance: do the rudebox

haha !

The new Macarana or the Hustle

You see, rob will get a whole new audience with this new album:-)

maybe that was his plan - we may never know

Does he have a plan? I think he's just doing the things he likes, hmm sounds like a plan:-)

maybe that was his plan - we may never know

Soo true....

I don't like rudebox. It's not my kind of music. not at all. Radio wasn't either.
BUT I do believe that Rob will probably not go bancrupt ;) and the best fact about it is that he likes it and enjoyes himself singing it. the rest I don't care about, really.

maybe robbie dosnt do plans and thts y hes random and crazy ?

right! i don't think he plans....

nope he just goe with the flow

too right it's right for him great stuff i love it

thank you all very much !

In this moment Rob can to whatever he wants :)
Btw, on my fav radio station Rudebox is currently ''single of the week''! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

I love the new song and the new sound...

its a great song i love it so much cant stop listenin to it i just love it

Well i have changed my mind since this thread first opened and it is growing on me as well and i am sure that i will get to like it more as time goes by... I love Rob in the video for it and that makes it a little easier to listen to thats for!!! Robbie always makes things seem easier when he is involed some how :D :D :D :D :D

I am undecided at the moment.I don't dis-like it..nor do i love it.I think i will have to listen to it more or perhaps i need the video to go with this song.

At the beginning...I didn't like it...but now I can't stop singing it :)

It's good and it's even better because it's Robbie's

Some more comments here :shell: And you can watch the full video :dance: (Especially for non IS members ;) )

http://uk.launch.yahoo.com/robbie-williams/

It's a nice change. I didn't really like Sin Sin Sin that much and didn't think it was the best choice for a single-this is far more intresting even if it's abit cringey in places.

I don't hate it, but i don't really want the whole album to be like it either. I'm hoping for a mix of different style tracks. Like a Robbie selection box.

Love Rudebox!!! :dance: :dance: :D

I really love Rudebox - it's a kind of music I like and the combination of Rob and the music makes me loving Rudebox! http://www.palermoviejo.com/palermoviejo/gifs/bonus5/expressions6.gif

I just love it. The words are nonsense but song itself makes me in such a happy mood while listening to it and I think it's brave of him to try something new and unexpected.

Can i say that i am totally obsesed with rudebox ....... :p :p
everytime i am on the internet i listen to it
even today at work i opened it (well my collegues weren't that happy lol )
as i am working for an internet provider company ....... damn them they r not into a rob mood so they told me to put smth greek on lol i refused respectfully :p

Rudebox Rocks :D

I like Rudebox - it grows on you. You can't sit still with this one! Rudebox is bubbling under our only independant chart show (where listeners vote) Take40 SA - will keep you posted! :dance:

It is so addictive, no matter how many times I hear it I still love it.

I guess that Rudebox never will be a song that really means that much to me, much because of the (lack of) lyrics. ;) But it grows every tim I hear it, and it surely is a nice piece to listen to.
I would not want the whole album to contain this sort of lyrics, but it's great with some change and especially the fact that he enjoys what he's doing. :)

Whether it's successful or not at least he's willing to take risks! Good for him!!

I like it, the more i listen to it, the better it is :)

Nice song especially because it's Robbie's :)

It shows one more time that he can sing anything he want: pop, rock, jazz,dance, rap.Not many people can do that.Usually an artist will stick to the same sound (more or less). He doesn't.

another great song and lets wait for the new album *gg*

shake the rudebox, great song!!!

Came accross these during my internet wanderings..
http://www.spreadshirt.net/shop.php?sid=97302

Hmmm they are nice!!! Might wait and see if they do some official ones!!

The Rudebox ones are good, but the rest are rubbish! The picture one could be anybody!

i dont like anything thats unofficial

i love the rudebox handbags espaecially the black. but agree with paula i tend not to go with anything that is unofficial, i will wait to see if anything official comes out. great find though churchmouse!

i dont like anything thats unofficial

:eek: Pure Robbie's not official :ner:

lol shell...it isnt im going gdbye lol

only kiddin cudnt imagine my day without pr!

:eek: Pure Robbie's not official :ner:
oh it is to me !!:)

gd save paula lol

But we are unofficially the best!

Hear hear!

Lol I might make my own Rudebox t-shirt..I can make a better one then on that site hehe..doesnt even looks like the Rudebox logo;)

It's Official!
The "un-official" PR.com website is officially the best!
:ner:

:) good to hear

wah ouuu i want it !!!

It looks good, but isn't it a little bit expensive for unofficial stuff?

Does anyone know? Is it already on itunes uk for example ? Or will it be ready for download with the official release date (September 4th.) and not before ?
As far as I know the download charts have also got an impact on the official singles chart, so I think we should get downloading as soon as possible to support Rudebox. If I knew where and when that is ...

I would imagine the download release date will be the same as the single sinner.

I'm not really familiar with this whole downlad thing. Only I was told by a mate that usually songs are available for download on itunes one week before their actual release. But maybe this isn't true for ALL songs, I don't know.
:sarky:

They said on Sky News Showbiz this morning that it would be available from Monday...
Was not on itunes Ireland yesterday anyway so must be next Monday.

It's all very confusing...
I was just told that Rudebox is already available on itunes uk.

It is today but apparently wasn't yesterday??

It is only the "clean" radio edit though, no b-sides/remixes etc.

Am i confused by the use of "clean" it isn't the one with the naughty stuff edited out - I downloaded it this morning.

Definately no b-sides yet though!

Thanks, that clears it up a bit. So Rudebox is available for download, but without remixes or b sides.

That's odd, on the uk itunes they only have the "radio" edit (or "clean" as it's called on the promo cd). It's good that you got the full version though:)

US itunes has NOTHING....I want the cd on itunes too. Please

That's odd, on the uk itunes they only have the "radio" edit (or "clean" as it's called on the promo cd). It's good that you got the full version though:)

Its the radio edit but with the explicit lyrics :D

I am on the UK Itunes too

Don't you already have the mp3's from the promo cd ntla?

I don't know, I only have what has been posted here.

According to some very clever people from other forums it would help Rudebox chartwise if people downloaded it THIS week.
It's a bit complicated but apparently when you get into the UK charts with the help of downloads one week before the official single release, the track has got a better chance of getting a high charts spot the next week. For example Beyonce's Deja Vu got to no. 20 thanks to downloads the week before the actual release and then went to no. 1 in the following week.
So, if anybody wants to support Rudebox in the UK charts download it this week already !

i know this won't help robbie's sales in the uk but i've got rudebox on itunes here in australia :D

Just checked - Rudebox 'explicit' is available on i-tunes today for 0.79p
You can also get a Rudebox ringtone from TMobile, there are 4x versions, just got one meself!:blush:

The thing that confuses me though is that the downloads from this week aren't counted in next weeks sales when its physically released....so how can that help:sarky:

Anyway I am going to wait till next week to download and buy.

True, suse. I don't get it all either, I have just passed on information from people who seem to know what they are talking about. Or maybe not
:pmsl:
I think downloads have made the charts really complicated these days, I preferred the good old times even if that doesn't make me very "hip" ;)

Me too Sinner.

At least I know that next week both purchases will be counted towards one weeks chart so I feel I am doing more for the cause that way.

I was just doing some "browsing" and discovered that on amazon.de and various Dutch cd sites that the single Rudebox will be released here (Holland/Germany) on SEPTEMBER 1st!!!!

So I rang my local music store and they comfirmed it will be in tomorrow!!

Its the same in Ireland :D We always get singles and albums released on the Friday before, rather than the Monday like in England. Something to do with when the charts are done over here.

Is it being released in the shop as a DVD like the other Rob tracks?

Anyone know?

I got the enhanced CD with the video on it sarah,

Great, I will pick one of those up in town today:D

I bought it and I love it:) Loved it before anyways:pmsl:
