What is the BOX?
An TV-STATION?
And what is with the Dj-Playlists?
The radio-Stations?

WE NEED THE HAPPY HARDCORE!
Scooter are the best, forget the rest!

Quoted from ""PascalD""

What is the BOX?

The one thing that seems to control the uk charts nowadays.

If the box don't like you then you don't have a chance, meaning that scooter probably has no chance of any future uk success as i believe the person who played the earlier songs (tls, nessaga, etc) has left the station.

Bet the twats are sweating to get the crazy frog song on though.

I am so angry / frustrated..... that one person can make this decision - why not try it for a week and let the viewers decide - if no one votes for it then take it off, but its just so unfair :evil:

:twisted: :twisted: :evil:

:twisted:

:twisted:

and yes - the person who previously played Scooter left this new one doesn't seem to like them, so chooses not to play them.

Adversity is nothing new. The fact is that Scooter has overcome this kind of situation by being as popular and famous as they are now even though some people don't even play their music.

That's awful news. Somehow, I get the impression that The Box will not play Scooter again while this terrible man is in charge. :twisted:

So do I (hope it will still be released) - in a way - but I will hate to see it go the way of Jigga Jigga :cry: :cry: :cry:

I know I get critised by some members if I say anything against AATW, but I hope they do something to publicise the release. Edel used to send out the postcards to people who had bought previous releases and registered, so at least some people knew there was a new release coming - there was nothing for Jigga Jigga - its releas happened in the UK largely unnoticed :evil:

He only saw the video for the first time today - maybe he will change his mind..........

He sent me 2 emails today - one very early to say he had not seen the video yet - then one later to say he didn't think they would be playing it :cry: :cry: :cry:

Have asked if there is a reason why, and also sent a list of its chart successes in other countries - but I doubt I will get another reply.

Unfortunately I know how you feel Sandra,although we have here MTV-Euro[pe and MTV base and all that they never play scooter here.
I saw scooter-rebell yell on a russian music box once.The last video of scooter that I saw on MTV-Dance floor chart was Weekend and Night,Ramp before that.
And I haven't seen one single from Scooter here,only the albums.
When I asked about DVD they told me that they don't know it,they checked on their PC list or whatever,and told me that such DVD not existing and that's probably illegal pirate collection.
That's the reality of record-stores here,tower-records especially.
They have all you can want from this rap crap.But nooooo scooter.

TURN UP THE BLASTER,
AND HEAR THE SHOUTS OF BAXXTER
