[Princess]

I didn't even see him. I turned off before the last bit. And Sarah I didn't even know you were a Rob fan till a while ago,tut tut

[Smithy]

Robbie just said that he and TT are doing something "magical" soon

[Princess]

Robbie is a bull****ter.

Princess, what would you and other fans do if Robbie joined Take That again? Would you go off them? I've always wanted to know

Oh, and did you like him before he left the band?

[Princess]

Everyone always asks that And I honestly don't know,I love Take That more than I hate Robbie but to have those two very strong emotions shoved together,yeah strange. Anyways it will never happen,ever.

I was 4 when he left the band I've only been a TT fan since about October 2006. Before I was a Take That fan,I never really liked Rob,I might singalong to one of his songs if it came on but that was about it. It's since finding out everything about him and TT I've disliked him.

Ah okay, guess that's a fair comment. And can you be sure that it'll never happen?

Woah! You'd think you'd have been a fan forever! You know so much about them afterall LOL.

And I don't really know everything about their split but judging by that comment I take it Robbie wasn't very nice towards them?

[Princess]

It will never happen! Most that will happen is a one off song or show or whatever,they will never ever get back together as a 5 piece,that I'm certain of.

I learned fast I was too little to be a fan beforehand. But I've more than made up for it!

And no Robbie was horrible to them,I'd be here all day ranting about it. Oooh I think I have a rant somewhere..... *looks* Found it!

Why do you hate robbie so much?
I hate Robbie because he's an utter twat. He left back in 1995,LEFT! Then he said awful awful awful things about the guys,especially Gary afterwards. Then when he became successful,he kept at it. It was some Brit Awards,like 10 years after they had broken up and he went 'I was always the talented member of the band' like he couldn't help himself having a dig whenever he could. The boys got back together for the documentary and he didn't even turn up. The look on their faces,especially Mark's was heart-wrenching. Like he thought he was so above them that he could just send a video and that was that. I've never seen TT look so awkward as when they watched those messages. Then TT do amazing,Robbie falls. He was offered to join them when they reformed and he said no. Suddenly when he's not doing so well,he's wants to go back to Take That. I wonder why! I accept they're friends,whatever. But TT work better as a 4,everyone says so,and I don't him just waltzing back in and ruining it all. Cos he's still a twat.

[Jack_]

I'll take your word for it then

Hm, interesting. Didn't know about this before. But to be fair, Robbie has had a hard time what with drugs and all that, are you sure that didn't have anything to do with it? It is obvious that he only wants to return cause they're doing so well though haha. Also, surely if they are all friends now, all of that is in the past? Forgive and forget? And would he ruin it? Wouldn't a reunion with him create more publicity for them etc? Surely it could be a good thing? Or would he cause them to split up again? I'm curious

[Princess]

That is a lot of questions! I doubt he was drugs for 15 years,so no that doesn't explain him being a utter twat the whole time. Create more publicity??? Since they've come back they're done 3 tours,including 1.2 million last summer,they've had 2 number 1 albums,3 number 1 singles,3 number 1 DVD's,3 Brit Awards,an Ivor Novello and various other stuff I'd be here all day going on it. Take That work as a 4,they just do.And Robbie works as a solo artist. And the new fans don't know anything but the 4 of them,we don't want Robbie coming in and ruining our PERFECT 4 piece.

[Jack_]

That's all true of course but what I mean is surely there'd be a whole 'OMG ROBBIE TO REJOIN TAKE THAT!!!!!' buzz about it all?

I don't know myself, cause I love both Take That and Robbie. I agree that Robbie works as a solo artist and they work as a four piece but I think for one song at least it'd be cool. But I don't know, not too fussed. Thanks for enlightening me anyway

[Princess]

The thing is none of the fans want him back. It's the media making that hoopla and they just presume we argee,when we don't. Believe me,I know A LOT of Take That fans,a lot and I talked to a lot of them on tour and no-one wants him back. The Robbie fans will agree with me as well.

No probs,any excuse to talk about my boys

[MrGaryy]

-would like him to come back-
-runs away-

That's fair enough then

Oh, and what's your favourite Take That song? Mine is probably Shine or Back For Good, but I love nearly all of their singles.

[Princess]

You better run Gary

Fav TT song is Shine,actually my fav song ever! Top 5 are Shine,Rule The World,Said It All,Never Forget and Hold Up A Light. Singles I hate would be How Deep Is Your Love,I Found Heaven and not really fond of Everything Changes.

[Jack_]

I was obsessed with Shine when it came out. I love all those others you've listed too, my favourite probably being Never Forget.

Love them or hate them, they produce some brilliant tracks

[Princess]

The first time I heard Shine was on An Audience With,someone send me a link to the album track and I listened to it on repeat for 9 hours!

They do! They make amazing music,they're talented and they're lovely people,they deserve all the success in the world.

[Jack_]

9 HOURS? Holy **** man!

Yeah, I agree

[Princess]

Hahaha that's not even that bad compared to some of the stuff I've done.

[InOne]

I saw a TT vid from 93 in the charity shop and thought of you lol

[Princess]

Awww thanks 93,I think that was the Pops tour.

[InOne]

The Party I think it said

[Princess]

Oooh yeah The Party,I thought that was '92. I'm not great with back then stuff!

[Princess]

This is really nice

Turin Brakes thank Take That for album

New record was financed by a track they wrote for Take That

◦20/02/2010
◦Sarah Jane Griffiths

Turin Brakes have revealed to 6 Music that their forthcoming album Outbursts might never have happened if it weren't for Take That.

They wrote a track for the man band's latest album The Circus, which went on to earn them enough cash to finance the new record.

"We did write for Take That - because they asked us to," admits Olly Knight. "We were so amazed that they even knew who we were we thought, well we've got to do this because if we don't it's such an opportunity wasted. We also were very aware - and I will admit - that one song on a Take That album could finance an entire Turin Brakes year!"

Without a record label after leaving EMI, the band say they didn't have enough money to write another album.

"We took that money that we made off that song and reinvested it in our studio and this album," revealed Olly. "So technically, you know, without Take That...I don't know if we'd have a Turin Brakes album."

Apparently it's all down to their fan in the band - Howard Donald.

"We took that money and reinvested it in our studio and this album. So technically without Take That, I don't know if we'd have a Turin Brakes album."

Olly Knights
"He likes indie bands and he liked Turin Brakes," said Olly. "He got in touch through a friend who was working for them - she was one of their chefs. She text us saying 'ha ha, would you ever write for Take That?'. And I wrote back and said 'yeah of course!'.

A studio session with Howard and Gary Barlow quickly followed, which resulted in a Turin Breaks penned song for Take That's album.

"It was the final track of the album called Here - which was on The Circus album, which sold I don't know how many millions. A lot of records. And we're very proud to have been a part of it."

The band say it's not selling themselves to the devil - but admit they needed the cash to survive.

"I'm not going to say we made a huge amount but we made enough money to cover a few debts that we'd built up over a couple of years of not being signed. We had to find some money from somewhere. Neither me or Gale have made enough money to sit back and relax by any stretch, so we have to find money. It is about that."
