Take That - The Circus is coming to town!

thatsnotmypuppy · 10-26-2008, 07:26 AM

This one may be a bit more UK specific - but Take That are about to drop their latest album 'The Circus' (not to be confused with Britney's 'Circus' album) on December 1. The first single 'Greatest Day' has hit the radio and the web and I for one am excited. 'Greatest Day' sounds very similar to 'Rule The World' and should be another huge hit across Europe for the lads.

Rumour is a stadium tour of the UK/Ireland/Germany is in the works for June with an Asia/Europe arena tour preceeding it. I'll be making the hop from Melbourne to Hong Kong if needs be. Yes. I am mental. But any chance to visit HK/China will be grasped without hesitation!

So I know there are a few ;thatters' in here - so come on out of the woodwork and lets share some TT love!

I think it's so funny that they're releasing an album on the same day as Britney with the same name; I thought someone in one of the record companies would of noticed.

And for actual comments on Take That...they're the only boy band who's ever sounded better after reforming I guess.

What up yes Ive been to see TT when they were here, the gig was electrifying!

I love the new single, these guys have started producing more mature type songs. not gone back to funky pop dance with likes of Everything Changes, etc.

And Gary looks and sounds better these days!

Was this earlier in the year? I saw them twice in the Odyssey, they were class.

I hope they come over here on this next tour or I might have to travel back home to see them.

mad1 · 10-27-2008, 05:33 AM

LOL they prob will girl!

hello to you anyhow!

just saw them the once, The Beautiful World Tour, my favourite part was Rule the World, just the beginning alone with the guy and female dancer on stage and the narrator - the set-up with the ball and green lights, and music, was fantastic. When the bridge lowered the girls went crazy. - LOL!

and hello, Jason looks hotter than ever, I just love his tall lean look

Hi!

I was standing near the bridge the second time. Mark Owen.

Take That!

I was marginally curious when that new album came out a couple of years back, but never checked it out. I always liked Barlow as a singer and actually even bought his Open Road album when it came out in the 90s. But I never did bother buying any TT album despite watching all their videos on MTV in the early to mid 90s and generally enjoying their music

I still maintain that they were probably the best boy band of that whole movement. Somehow they sounded less manufactured than Backstreet Boys, N'SYNC or New Kids... I dunno. Was the last album more along the lines of Back For Good? I still like that song.

mad1 · 10-27-2008, 10:58 AM

I actually loved Open Road and Forever Love

speaking of, Zoots, if you are big into songs and maybe familiar, see in Open Road, at the beginning or halfway through, sounds like an 80s song/male singer voice being played, know who that is?

Zootlesque · 10-27-2008, 11:04 AM

I have no idea.

I haven't listened to Open Road in several years! maybe a decade! I bought the cassette when it came out and it's still at my parents' house!

mad1 · 10-27-2008, 11:16 AM

ach bummer! I wish you could listen to it now to see if you know.

Zootlesque · 10-27-2008, 11:18 AM

Is this on the title track, Open Road? I could download it.

(or try to youtube it)

mad1 · 10-27-2008, 11:22 AM

yep, its the song, Open Road.

I swear there is a sample of an 80s track in it.

Please tell me this is not the version you heard:

YouTube - Gary Barlow - Open Road (Mr. Pink Mix) HQ

That one's a remix with a Mr. Mister Kyrie sample!

mad1 · 10-27-2008, 11:25 AM

oh, interesting!

YES!

Feck! I always thought the song was just like that, not a mix!

thank you darling!

Zootlesque · 10-27-2008, 11:30 AM

OMG!

How did you think that? Did you not have the original copy of the song?

Here's the original song: (Ignore the anime video)

YouTube - Open Road
