“Well, guys, I've had so much pleasure reading Steve's review of last week-end Wilde's party, and as it's quite respectful to the family's privacy, I take the responsibility of including it as a bonus chapter of Steve's autobiography, just to be sure that it won't slip away into the messages archive. It happens that the story deals with Kim, so it's always of major interest for this website, but while reading it, I realised that Steve's style would even manage to transform a shopping session at Harrod's into a lively, exciting account. Am I getting addicted? I think I am. What about you?”

“...so, what did everybody die of?”
“What can you say about this, other than wOw!. Kim has no band, no dancers, a tiny little stage -but still she rocks the joint. Sizzling sex kitten she is here -and she *does* know what she's doing with her arms -those moves are from the video. Kim is such a natural mover, and this hot performnace shows it. ”

“AliSue s going CiCCone my friends, pas si conne ;-) In other words, AliSue s going into the WonderlanZ groove! I m sure you all can guess what it feels like for me enjoying Madonna onstage, pray for her not to fall in Love with me, her husband is currently so fat ;-))) Anyway, music makes the people come together, this site is the most shining example of that truth of Life, thank you Kim, thank you Mo and all my Big Love to the ones who know, to the others I say "open your frozen hearts before it s too late..." Pat, I call you when I m in Paris! I CAN T WAIT, I FEEL LIKE A LITTLE FIFTEEN WAITING, BUT A HAPPY ONE ;-) Good bye my Wilde friends, may the Forces protect you while I fly to Venus!”

“Well it's been a busy bank holiday weekend for me & the band! I can't keep up with you guys! lol! Steve mentioned something about playing in Debbie Harry's solo band? Wow! lucky you Steve - you get to work with all the best people! On a sadder note, Laura Branigan passing away is a real shocker! I used to cover 'Self Control' and'Shattered Glass' a few years ago with a band that I sang with (before the Blondie madness took over my life!)She had such a great talent, so young too, very sad. Take care of yourselves everyone....xxx”

“JR, from what I understand, Steve's car was "officially" stolen - at least that's what we'll have to tell the cops if they come knocking on our respective doorsteps ;-) Trusting Madonna "I love to shoot small birds" Richie with world peace? Right, that woud solve so many problems. That is, until she re-invents herself and files "peace" under "catholicism" when the Next Best Thing That Sells comes along. _______________________ Pat, who has just made Alisue's forthcoming trip to Paris even more interesting.”

“O yes James, I just can t wait to enjoy her onstage again, I know she s unique and still does it better than any other girlie! I hope Paris still makes her horny, horny, horny and that she won t go too "kabbahlist do it better", I m longing to watch, listen, dance, laugh, cry, enjoy, want, need, wait for her ultimate Peace message, there s so much violence in this world today, it sometimes makes me wanna go nature knitting for the winter cold nights with my sheep s silky wool... And you know what James, putting MadoNNa EleKtroNiKa and AliSue ExTasY in the same temple can become dangerous! We can dance for inspiration, isn t it Mrs Queenie Ritchie? ”

Byrdman wrote
“Hey Guys, I'm back home now.I was a VERY NAUGHTY BOY yesterday at Kims party,but I think I got away with it! I had a few hours sleep in my car and drove home as the sun rised. I can confirm that the handbook for my new coupe doesn't lie when it says do not drive this car at speeds over 205 miles per hour.(thats quite quick in kilometres per hour) I supposedly passed 100 or so speed cameras,but of course my car was stolen by a lunatic last night and I have 50 people who will say that I spent the night with them. I will do a full report on Kims party soon for all of you KWTV viewers but,I am now off to Carnival in Notting Hill with a lovely redhead backing singer (girl) from ABC who I met last night. My old mate who is the computer programmer for U2 lives in Portobello Road and it would be rude for me to decline his kind offer of his house for the day/night. Kims party ROCKED!!!!!!!!!!! I will tell you all about it when I have had a few hours sleep.”

“*quick drop by* Can't say that I listened to Brannigan that much during the 80s, though I naturally remember her hits. Not surprisingly, though, I do have some memories linked to her songs, as we're dealing with the decade during which I grew up. Sad news, indeed :(”

“Hi Pat, if you want to be kissed and spanked in Paris this week, e mail me there before tomorrow night at this address: alisuExtasy@hotmail.com. Thank you, bye bye!”

“How sad news about Laura Branigan. I have been a fan of hers since "Gloria" and think she did the best version of "The power of love" and not Jennifer Rush or Celine Dion. I have lots of her records and my favourite songs would be "The meaning of the word", "Whatever I do", "Shattered glass", "Shadow of love", "How am I supposed to live without you", "Self control" and....I think I could go on. Thank god for records to keep a person "alive" forever. RIP”
Pat from Paname wrote
“Rashid, if that's any consolation she apparently just went to sleep and passed away - which I guess is the best way to go unless you're supposed to meet Kim Wilde or Courtney Taylor-Taylor the next day. On a brighter note, between "your song" Gloria and that Another Step choregraphy with your sister, am I the only one who hopes your mom shot some home movies?”
Rashid wrote
“Pat. That is really sad news. I cannot believe it. She had some great songs and her voice was brilliant. Such a young age to pass away. I will always remember "Gloria" growing up. It was dubbed "my" song when I was very young by my mum as I used to dance to it. We each had "our" songs as kids, and this was mine.”
JR wrote
“Ohh Lisa you have same taste as me :) I Just LOVE that PINK T'shirt she wore in "Never Trust a stranger" yeh would Love to see Kim wearing that again in 2004 would be fun to see that :)”
Pat from Paname wrote
“Some sad news: Laura Branigan, 47, passed away of a brain aneurism. Big hits in the 80s (Gloria, Self Control, The Lucky One, Spanish Eddie) some great soundtracks participations (Imagination, from Flashdance) terrific cover versions (Forever Young, Dim All The Lights) and a voice that could cut through your spine. Her carreer took a slump after she played in not pollitically correct Sun City in South Africa. Several comeback attempts fizzled (Moonlight On Water) but Branigan continued to impress with her voice and took on the difficult role of Janis Joplin in a musical play about the singer. Fearing for her vocal chords, which she didn't spare in the part (her version of 'Me & Bobby McGee', once available online, sounds like the real thing) she quit the show prematuraly. Since the death of her husband ten years ago, Branigan lived alone. Lately she had been recording material for an album. RIP. sigh...”
Pat from Paname wrote
“And Steve (for when you're back and able to read again) I too had songs popping in my mind that you could have played that tech guy, only I didn't dare post them at the time. However may I suggest "Put Yourself In My Place" by Kylie, "You Better Run" by Pat Benatar, "Mac The Knife" by Ella, "Ghost In The Machine" by Police, "Thank You For The Music" by ABBA, "Workin' Overtime" by Diana Ross, "The Sound Of Silence" by Bald & Balder and of course "Wotcha Gonna Do", "Can You Hear It?" and "Missing" by Pink... I mean, Kim Wilde. I strongly advise against "My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama" as this might make you liable for prosecution, Zappa or not.”

“Wow, you can always tell when it's a full moon night. People are so much more... active. (*rubs his eyes, yawn, stretch, smile etc...*) I mean, on this board :-) Yes, my fellow loonies jerzy and Cal, you have pierced my dark secret. I was indeed Thailand based some 22 years ago and used to fly week-ends (now it's the week-end that flies.) That is why I can't stand listening to that song anymore! Brings back too many things...from the grave! And yes, this is why I don't have an avatar! (digital cameras are wasted on living-dead.) BTW my fellow loons, on the strength of his last few posts I suggest we make Steve a Honorary Loony. Steve, Pierre beat me to it but thanks for writing what you did. Doing 'the right thing' is an obsession that too often keeps us from actually 'doing the right thing'. At some point you have to take a leap of faith and just bring your dish to the table, hoping it will find its place there. You have helped me more than you may know by writing what you did last night, and I thank you for it. Your timing was pretty good too but I guess that's the musician in you :-) Have fun at the garden party - I'm sure you are and that your eyes are matching your t-shirt by now ;-) ”
“How the hell did she do all this in heels of nearly 6 inches (15cm) most girls cant even stand in 4 inch (12 cm. I wonder if Vivienne Westwood or Malcom McLaren had anything to do with the fashion in this vid?”

“NO!NO!NO! Steve, you have to wear that hot pink boob tube and matching hot pink lippy Kim wore in the Never Trust A Stranger video clip! ”
Byrdman wrote
“Well Guys, I bought a pink shirt as Kims invitation says wear something pink.At least it will go with the colour of my eyes later! It kicks off at 2.00 with champagne and readings of the romantic poets in the garden.Hope the UK weather doesn't spoil things,its very cloudy so far. I would invite you all if I could but that's not possible. I shall be like a camera for you and replay the event on KWTV once I am out of intensive care. The party ends when the last person drops and I had many all night sessions with Kim.That girl can drink when she wants to.! KARINA thanks for your warm comments,flattery will get you everywhere.”

“Guys, Regarding thinking that any message you may send would be not good enough.I will let you into a secret. Everything I have ever composed,written,done or whatever situation I have been in.I have felt was "not good enough".If you even have that idea it means that you are a sane,thinking and feeling person. Let yourself be free to do what your intuition tells you.After al, what is the worst that could happen? Get outside of this mindset as it will limit you.Throw ideas at the Cosmos,trust that people will just take them on board or reject them.Does it really matter in the grand scheme of things?I have found that I have suffered terrible pain in worrying about what other people will think or say about my ideas. You know what?Most of the time they don't even think twice and I have put myself through totally uneeded pain. Do what you think is right in the moment,and if you made a mistake,so what,we're only human,of flesh and blood we're made. If somebody disses you for that,maybe they are not the kind of person that YOU need in your life and don't you worry bout' a thing.”
Byrdman wrote
“Also, I know I am being set up here but what the hell is all this about avatars? Please explain to this dumb Yorkshireman/Byrdman.”
Byrdman wrote
“Look you web weirdies(my ultimate compliment by the way)it was just an idea that surfaced as a bubble in my mind. Its no big deal. I don't see Kim so often no, and as I like, and trust you guys,I would like to take Kim an offering,better than Crystal or flowers or whatever.There can be no price placed on a totally unique present like this.Kim can have anything that she wants in the material world, so I try to think outside of convention and offer something like this. What do you give to the girl who has everything? Love,and I can feel this in PM's site.”
Byrdman wrote
“Pat, Just back from rocking south london. What you said is so true and iswhat the techie said,just go and do it again but better.I didn't feel rage,I just sat down and felt sick and sweat burst from my brow. Songs help here.The old way was "Pick yourself up,dust yourself down and start all over again"from my Disney childhood. Or "I get get knocked down,but I get up again,you're never gonna keep me down"from my punk youth. Hey the world will keep on turning and the supernovas in distant galaxies won't shed a tear for my pathetic loss.I'm over it already and will,as you suggested do it again,but better.Thanks for your insight mate!”

“Too bad she didn't say it, JR. Though I'm sure that should she keep annoying her new fellow brits, Mrs Richie will soon hear it from someone :-) _________________ Steve... what can I say? This is plain awful. I would be in a murderous rage if a tenth of this happened to me. Hope you can at least make your next week deadline for the ads. As for the 2 albums worth and everything else that was lost, I can only offer a lame advice at this stage, and easier to give than to take: when you have to start from scracth, put all your rage into making it even better than it was before! Not an easy one, I'm sure. But I guess that's the only way to turn such a shitty experience into something halfway constructive and make all the aggravation pay somehow. Take care and good luck.”

“Pat, Thanks for the advice.We were just emptying the contents of the Mac onto a 250 gig Lacie drive and one audio file was corrupted.This kept stopping the save so the guy did it bit by bit around this file.It could not be deleted either.I never put my studio Mac online so it was not a virus.Except my "mates " who give me free effects etc.(thats what it probably was)So I left the techie to finish as it was quite boring .When I got back he said all done.I had a quick check to look at some Logic 6 arrangements and as he had upgraded me to Mac OSX I was unfamiliar with the layout. I told him I coildn't find any of my midi files and he said its all there. I showed him it wasn't true and he said where did you keep the files.I said it defaults to the Logic 6 folder and he went very quiet. He said I wiped that as I was giving you a free upgrade.He lost all of this years work,two albums worth and some ads I have to deliver next week. Then I said at least I have my Reason files for the bass and drums.These had been converted to Unix. files by the drive as it had dual format.It has to be Mac only format. So these two errors have cost me a lot.He is working on a conversion but its a holiday here for 3 days so he can't get support. The first rule is back up,the second rule is back up. I have never done this as Macs are so stable,but guess what,I've just bought 200 disc's and from now on I will.”

“LOL JR, love that story! This is the funniest I ever read about Madonna. Did she laugh too when you compared her to Kim Wilde? My gut intinct tells me she didn't. Somewhere in between two re-inventions, I have a feeling she lost her sense of humor about herself. (No Alisue, you still can't spank my ass next week!) __________________ His name is Dominique and he's from Bordeaux? "Helloooo Dominique!!!" (*clapclapclapclapclap*) __________ Steve, so you're hooked to WTV! Join the club and kiss your life good-bye! Just kidding. Sorry about your loss BTW. Didn't your mother teach you to always make a back-up? My advice, which I'm sure you will find timely, helpful and not at all grating: buy an external hard drive and systematically copy your files on it. They can hold over 300 Mo or more and are relatively cheap when you think of all the trouble they save. Plus, you can take them along and hook them up to any computer whenever you travel. But I'm sure you knew all that and just wish I would piss off now :-)”

“I met Madonna in 1999 & 2000 twice and both time i didn't approach her my friend Greg approached her "Mady MAdy can we take a pics with you?" and both times she replayd "Greg"she remembered her name LOL "Greg sorry im very busy going to Very important convention" Greg got angry and said "ohh please who do you think you are Kim Wilde?" LOL It was sooo funny... then 2nd time her bodyguard -Security came to us and took us to dinner and said its on Madonna it was very strange but TRUE, she lives 10 min by car from me, (and 10 min by Walk from Karina :), but after that i never went or try to see her again...”

“Hey JR, I loved Maddies work with William Orbit the best. Of course I also got off on her early tacky works but I think she matured also as an artist. I was put off her however by her mob style handling.I heard so many bad stories about her in hotels and stuff where she used her minders against ordinary people that I can't say I respect her as a person.”

“Krasi, I missed the most important postings where you said you could introduce me to beautiful young women.How could I be so stupid?! I have always had a dream to drive across Europe like in a road movie. Of course I have done this many times in tour buses,but to do it on your own terms has always appealed to me. My oldest friend who was born across the street from me in Sheffield,is now a vilified professor of languages who lives in Menorca ,my second home.He has driven from Barcelona to Dover,then up through England to his ancestral home of Scotland,and then back again.He is several years older than me and he typifies the "wanderlust"the urge to travel of my era. I see myself as Steve Mcqeen ,in a sixties movie,driving with a beautiful woman by my side,free as the wind and ready for anything. I will do it, as we have all done the big sleep for eternity before our birth.The only truth we know is that we shall do it again in a few scant years.So why not celebrate and enjoy these few precious moments that we are gifted with? I LOVE the music of Rhodopa Mountain.(sorry if the spelling is wrong,my studio and my office are on different floors) I had a bad day with the Apple Mac.I went for a sandwich at lunchtime and he erased all of this years files. At least I still have the audio samples,but I have lost all of my arrangements,including all of yours and Pierres contributions. Its my fault for not having backed up the files,and also for going to the pub for a sandwich and a pint,when he was doing the crucial work. Never mind.Love to you both and BG.”

“Hey guys, I just love this site now. Pierre warned me that as a virgin with no experience I could put in my fingertip and have my arm taken off. I know what he means and I am hooked! I forgot to mention to the lovely Michelle when I praised her band that my mate Geoff Dugmore played drums and produced Debbie Harry's solo stuff and toured with her. He says she is the nicest person in pop/rock,whatever this stuff is that we all enthuse about. Geoff was the drummer I picked for Kim to play on the Michael Jackson BAD Tour in 88' or whenever it was (Pierre will know) [correct-PM]. Geoff is now rated in the top three for worldwide recording session players and is one of the nicest, talented and funniest men you you could ever wish to meet.”

“Massimo the Macho Macho Man! Thank you Mr Maximum, I started well my 33th year of this life, seems I was meant to be born this year! Where I sometimes never wanted to become an adult, I m slowly understanding that you can become 1 keeping the fun for you. It s not necessary a boring thing to grow also for what can frighten you for some reason. So I m glad, and for the first time of my life, I m building something on my own in a very creative way, collecting the subjects I need to achieve it, putting them together to make them coherent and watching the shapes of it taking their final forms makes me proud and realising it s worth making the things on your own when you have a precise idea of what you want. I see my project taking birth, I started with the skeleton and now the skin and muscles are developing and I can work it out just the way I intend it to, it s massive and complete. Until today, everything I ve been involved and interested in was always linked to something I was involved and interested in before. So, maybe the AliSue character helped me working it out. Some people have hepled me a lot ('jour Gé!) and when I think of it, when I was a child, fascinated by Kim s songs and voice, hair and pout, legs and hips, I knew that Love I felt for her hadn t happened for free, I knew it meant something big for me. My mum understood it too and was never complaining about Kim s posters in my room, but Nena s ;-) She said it made her sick seeing Nena s smile everyday, but she always loved Kim. Now, at 32, when I go back to my mum s place, where I grew up, I can see some "rests" of me around the appartment and they re all linked to Kim, like for example, upon the telephone, this thing I wrote (I still don t know why!) "Kim Wilde 2000 Volts", or that little "Love Blonde" picture I pasted behind the bathroom door... And maybe through my big Love for Kim s universe I was led to go into my direction. I mean, AliSue is none else than my inner child coming away, over and over... I was talking with my friend DominiK the other day and he told me he finds it amazing the way I m inspired by my childhood, I agree with him and think I m rich of that, as it s also that little child that allows me keeping open minded, and curious of the current things in the air and of the unknown situations I could find myself in. Like Annie sang, "keep young and beautiful, if you want to be loved..." Kim, if you read this, let me kiss your painted lips, that house of Salomé has always intrigued attracted me you know, would you agree being my guide honey? ”

They often show just one of the sides of Bulgaria - post communist country, with poor shepherds struggling to find a way to survive… It is not quite true. Bulgaria is one of the oldest countries in Europe with more than 1,300 years of history (yes, founded back in 681). I am not going to teach a history lesson hear, but I want to assure you that our nation has been very strong and proud through those years… The regime has made its damage – that we cannot hide. But that was long time ago now and you are right, the young people here are living completely different life now with all the opportunities, available for the smart, talented and innovative, as it is everywhere else. That’s is why I chose to stay and try to make a difference here instead of washing someone’s dishes in USA for example (not that this is not a decent job, right)… But I guess the most appropriate way to prove my point is to invite you to come ;o)) Maybe with this new red Fiat Turbo of yours (I really liked your other car…and feel sorry for it, but 110mph too much for a first gear..man!!)… But we will have to watch you very closely, so you won’t find yourself in the wrong lane direction ;o))) Or we can find you a beautiful young girl to drive you around (the men here are convinced that they have the most beautiful women in the world)… Cheers, Krasi. ”

Came home and put the tv on to relax and eat some lunch. I was watching a travel channel(when you get old you like comfort viewing like cookery,gardening and travel) The programme was about the Orient Express train line and a poor lady was stopped in Bulgaria as a girl with her family and put into prison for 64 years!! They also showed a lot of the country and I understand what you told me,that it wasn't all quaint country farms as I imagined.I love the music you both gave me though,thanks again for that! They said it was one of the cruellest regimes in the world. Its so good to see that they did not crush the spirit of the people.If I did not know you,I would have thought that you were a wealthy married couple of Italy or maybe Greece,very chic and handsome/beautiful/intelligent. Bad news on my car I have given it to a mechanic as a hobby.The engine was damaged quite badly,I had been pushing it to its limits and reached 160 mph or about 250 kph in previous weeks.Going into first gear at 110 mph is not a good idea. Today I bought a shiny red Fiat Coupe Turbo,as I had a good job last week.It's all a cliched way of being for a single middle aged man,but now I can see why they do it. I will have one more flush of youthfull behaviour then I will "settle down"(actually I'm lying about the last bit)”

Sometimes I wish I had grown up during the 60s and 70s - I did in a sense, but at a VERY early age :-) Reading Steve's bio you can still feel the energy of these years, when everything looked possible. I get the feeling England had decided to live up to its greatest book and turn the London scene into its version of Alice's Wonderland. No matter what ideals were squashed or plain forgotten in the following decades, for a while they made the words 'Brand New World' sound hopeful. And I'm beginning to sound like even more of an old fart than Aldous Huxley so I should probably stop here :-)”

“I was talking to a friend of Mine Mr K, and all of the sudden Question came to my mind WHY do we Love Kim Wilde a lot? is it her music songs videos? You know what i realize that yes i do like her music,sexy voice, fantastic videos, beauty blah blah...But i think what draws us to her , for me its her PERSONALITY, she is sooo unique. I can't tell what is it about her personality but overall the more she gives the more you want. i think thats how True STAR should be, i do like Kylie some of her recoreds great but Everytime i see her on TV interviews, something about her doens't appeal to me, i dont know why, i don't find her EXCITING, she can sell out Wembley and etc, i just dont find her EXCITING. i like little "Freaky, unusual, unexpecting,yet humble" people ala Madonna LOL”

“Yeh that Enterance she does from Airport, is such a breathtaking True Star :) has arrived...By the way i also Love "Hey Mr Heartacke " Video, with those Red lips Kim looking like Kim Basinger Marilyn, but who is that actor, kind of wasn't a Great match?LOL i rather see Tom Cruise being Kim's Hey Mr Heartacke, by the way Steve i love that song too..Very Cute song. Yeh You guys didn't promote Well "You Keep Me Hangin on " in USA i remember even Kim said in 2002 interview ( one of her mystakes-careerwise) Robbie Williams And Kylie still can't have # 1 in USA , only Kim managed ot have that title. You Keep Ma Hangin on has such a Strong energy. Steve Why Kim didn't promote CLOSE in USA much ? because if you take a look at Charts "You Came " went # 41 and only 2 slots to be top 40, and with Michael Jackson publicity it could have gone sooo much higher?”
“Well this is the biggest scoop of all times. I'd give my jacket, trousers and more -but only in private with Lisa- to listen to this jewel!”
“Oh I forgot my original purpose with this was to tell that I sang the duet originally,but had no confidence in my voice,I'de never sung lead vocal,harmonies on all Kims tracks I played on but lead scared me.I have a copy of it but as my wife left me this year I don't know where any of my things are.Typical man,I only discovered my toothbrush today,but she'd hidden it in this weird little rack thing above the washbasin.How am I supposed to know that?”
“This is cool,its Paris right?I never saw this as I was in NYC at that time and they didn't play Kim's music much there.Mind you we had a US number one with Hanging On so I guess they must have played her then, but I was back in the UK by then.I did play on the flip side of West End Girls by The Pet Shop Boys a track called A man Could Get Arrested,wonder what that was about.hmmm,so I sort of played on two US number ones.Anyway back to Kim.She looks great as usual.Junior looks just that,like a Junior.He's onle about 1.3 metres tall you know.His nephew is the leading black tv presenter in the UK now Richard something,I don't really watch tv just listen to music and meditate,or go down the pub.I would have liked the director to edit Kims walking in the airport,as she walks totally out of time to the track.This makes me feel dizzy.As a musician being out of time is only slightly better than being out of tune,that makes me feel ill if I hear that and I have to get away from it. So yet another first for me from Pierre's wonderful website.”
“Very nice Pierre..Steve,i guess u're playing guitar on it & it suits so well,bravo à tous les 2!”
“Pierre, C'est magnifique!Vous ette une star aussi.Merci boucoup pour une chansant nouvea a Kim. Sorry mate I learned French in the 60's. Well done Pierre,if Kim won't make new tracks it seems you are doing it for her.”
“…!!!.!......... ….. …. Oops, I guess I was left speechless for some time… Pierre, I must be dreaming again! It sounds so natural that I get the impression it was you, Steve and… Kim together in the studio … I wish Kim can hear that! Man, I love this website……………… Steve, thank you so much for being a part of this! By the way, did you sing it again my friend? I think your vocal is slightly different now. ”

“Hi guys, I will try and locate a video of Heartbeat UK.The set was custom painted by a girl who is now a top movie set designer.I don't know her name but will find out from Jon. She painted a stunning backdrop in a sort of Sci Fi stylee. The track is boy band pop but with a twist,a sort of U2 echo guitar riff opens it and super slick NYC production. I forgot to mention the bass player who was Mark from Kims first band.He left to work with The Thompson Twins and then Thomas Dolby.Hey you wanna know about the 80's,you're talking to the right man! LISA,I am going to Kims huge summer soiree this weekend and although I may not be privy to Kims personal bathroom(she has guest bathrooms you see)I will certainly ask her what beauty products she uses.I used to use her moisturiser on the road and she was very fussy.She would dole some out on a little spatula and insist that I didn't touch the pot as I would get human body oil in it and contaminate it. I have no idea what it was,but I guess it was expensive/exclusive. Just to lower the tone of your site, I would like to say that after looking at the members board,Lisa and Karina are hot babes.I would offer you both out for champagne and oysters if you weren't so far away. As it happens I will have to do some meetings in NYC this year and will be hoping to meet y'all for a coffee or a beer. Tokyo is another matter.If I can get BMG to pay for me,I want to do a worldwide trip to meet all of the tv and film producers who have used my music and thank them personally.I think it makes good PR sense.My boss at BMG however just thinks I want a free ticket to party around the world.

“The clothes you see in the Heartbeat photo were hand made by the best designer of that time in London.Jon was resposible for the design. The denim was vintage Levi's worth hundreds each piece on their own.Then they were taken apart and fitted to each members body.Then they were adorned with antique leather and war memorabilia.Each suit cost about £5,000 by the time they were finished. We had the antique Levi's and also whilst we were recording in NYC we bought some new white Levi jackets and jeans and had them made too. How flash was that?”

“Pierre, Sorry I missed your comments,your board is so active! I have 20 or so tracks that we did.Where they are I have no idea.I can't even find the releases. They were very well produced by Culture Clubs US producer Lew Hahn.He was a big part of Arif Mardin's team and they sounded wicked.The singer was Steve Lambert from Roman Holiday.We were a crazy and wild bunch of guys who spent a quarter of a million pounds in having custom made music,clothes and videos.As we made no money back,surprise surprise,Virgin dropped us.It was such fun in the 80's when money was no object. Jon is back in Culture Club of course.Boy George has a musical of his life that did well in the West End of London,and is now on tour. He also commands huge fees as a DJ. Bye for now mate.”

She can still LOVE LOVE adore her children and husband but same time she can do her music and art, its not the Best Grounded bizness but its not as bad either, take a look at her Gorgeous house, fab Garden its all Thank to MUSIC, her children when they grow up im sure they will agree with me TRUST me...I never thought Music make Kim unhappy on conterrary i think Kims FACE lights up when she hears her music, take a look at Loose Woman interview when they showd her pic on stage & Video "Kids" she was smiling with such a PASSION...Kim Wilde is that True icon, that should never leave her music because of Now & Forever didn't do well BIG DEAL...

“Dear Steve, I took a little time to read your story so far as a re-Creation time in those changing times for me... I m so touched by every of your words, your mother, your father, your neighbours (who still must remember your Woodstock vibrations, where ever they are now!), the gangs and you, learning how to defend yourself, to express yourself through music to escape some grey reality, post war. You and your headmaster, giving you the secrets to stay smart and humble, whatever your reality is (I was lucky having a perfect mother to teach me that), your Virgin gig, like a big disaster and another great lesson, which is that all doesn t come at once, but most of the times, step by step, a bad experience being an opened opportunity to another positive step... Your Flintstones gig "Sorry guys, but look at my skin colour! If you wanna dress me up in a leopard fur, do it in blue please, thank you." Believe me, closing my eyes I can imagine you in your cow boy boots and blue fake fur, like a crazy daddy long legs! Your life, as written and resumed on this great site is a big honour for us, the Kim Wilde lovers. But it s also a unique lesson of life, which shows how much not taking yourself too seriously, staying opened at heart and in a state of curiosity can make your life such a thrill, with all the ups and downs that go with it. You seem to be an explorer, someone that never stops sitting on your own pride, it s very humble. Do you really want to meet Jesus? 1 funny title on the last Morrissey s album "You Are The Quarry" is "I have forgiven Jesus"... Another point of view!”

It means every sunny day is a holy day this year. Hello Mr Steve, I remember reading in german pOpcOrn about the Heartbeat UK project and thinking "Hmmm, Mr Moss without Georgie Boy, it definitely smells like a Culture Club game over and... who s that boy? So blond, so wild, reminds me of a guitarist who can be seen by the real love blonde side..." I never heard the song but thought the sleeve looked like a real boys band, you know, all those boys in tight jeans so close to each other, no place for Georgie actually! I have a funny story, which can be a detail but made me think about all of you here and you too, Mrs Fowler. My boy, who s currently working hard to enter the university, has taken 1 of his friends flat for 2 months to concentrate himself on his exams. His friend, a funny 21 years old guy working in the music industry, has covered his kitchen walls of parties flyers, festival programs, Playboy postcards and Kinder Surprise toys, a funny kitchen indeed! The other day, while having my breakfast, I watched all those pop images on the walls and my eyes stopped on an orange "Back To The '80s" flyer with a stylised picture of a singer we all know well here and screamed "You have Kim Wilde in your kitchen my love!", he came and asked me "Where is she? Here?" (Shame on him and his young age, as he was pointing another Playmate postcard, grrr ;-), I showed him the flyer and after that he went back to the living room singing "I have Kim Wilde in my kitchen, la la la!", cute isnt it? Have a nice day everybody!”

We went to NYC to record the album and by a miracle Kim came to do a PA there! So I got to hang out in that great city with Kim. After Jon and I had no great success in a year or so,it is a mark of Kims huge personality and humanity that she took me back!!!! Thought you may be interested in that. Have a nice day.”

The latest news is there will be a RAK artists box set released at the end of the year (maybe early next year if they carry on as they are doing). There will be some of Kim's early work amongst the other RAK artists. We have planted the seed for the next Kim Wilde project and I'm making notes of all your requests! Let's do a top 10 of unreleased tracks! What are your favourites?Let me know.... Byeee! Michelle xxx”

“I was thinking do you think they might be DVD or VHS available sometimes soon for "Here Now Tours"? Yeh Love is something Sacret, something that people live lifetime and still not be able to find it, in a way i have to agree that Love has to find you..it usually finds you when you least excpecting it.”
“OK, the song is really strong, I fell for it the first time I heard it - its furious energy was irresistible. But... I just hate Kim's image here - bad make-up, bad clothes, bad taste. She needed repackaging and fortunately she got it. In the videos from LOVE IS period she looked divine. A lesson learned”

“wow 82-98..Wow you were one of the Wilde ones :) But i have to admitte in 1995 i found a friend from UK, who send me 24 hours videotape all Live TV perf and 90% of perf you were There next to her U love wearing dark shades don't you ? Kim is such an intersting person she never rarely hang out with Big superstars, or moviestars its little fascinating, even in her 95 songs "You all i realy wana do" she sings "I can be with a moviestars, driving mercedez Benz but wouldn't mean that much to me, i rather be with you" She never realy cared about Vanity, big Celeb Bashes, Partys, Openings, i rarely see her in some big conventions...In a way i was Wow its soo cool, in the other hand it little backfired to her, she became kind of outsider, too hommie for Uk, too grounded, for Crazy music Biz. She tryed to stay away from Celeb gatherings..The only 1 Big Celeb AIDS Charity she did and i bought the video in USA STAND BY ME..she sang a song by Elthon John...And i remember when she couldn't find love for soo many years and im so Glad she finally did find her Love is Holy :)I said to myself well see J, if its hard for Kim ( that any anyone she wants she can have it) and it was still hard for her,that means its not an Easy thing to Find, i guess it has to find You.”

“Asking about Kims EMI records or MCA records is a tricky one.Its a bit like saying do you like red better than blue? Kim has done so many tracks hasn't she? I will have a look at a list of her releases and try to make my favourite choices.It is hard because the ones that I played on hold a special memory for me,but there are tracks I didn't play on that I love too. I know you've all done it but I will try and put a list of my favourites even though they have to all be equal,not first,second,third etc. Basically I was attracted to the first tracks she released,as that was the first time I heard her.Then I was involved as a band member from 1982-1998 so I had a different perspective.I really liked some tracks from recent years that I was not involved with too,so its a hard one.

I recall when I went to a concert featuring a Swedish bass player that was, well, basically one h*ll of a bassist. The ad said that we'd see the bass player and yea, we did. And nothing else - a bass player solo for over an hour. But seriously, it was darn cool - that guy was (and prolly still is) incredibly talented, heck if you can play the bass solo for over an hour and still catch people's attention, you clearly are quite decent. ;)”

Of course we suggested remastered albums with some unreleased material as bonus tracks, or maybe some b-sides that never saw the light of laser - LOVING YOU remains one of the most stunning songs Kim ever did and it still doesn't exist on CD! At the time my friends and I used to call it 'the best track from Another Step that never made the cut.'”

Currently doing stadium gigs in Japan, but just mailed me to do some writing in September. I was mightly impressed, and I never heard it after I left the studio either. After Rick put his blood, sweat and tears into it for months with no release, even I don't like to bring it up. If only. Steve.”

Some of the old stars from the past two decades sometimes returns with new material, and seriously you can hear when there is a heart for music behind and not just a heart wanting to be a popstar and famous. So many popstars these days are manufactored by moneypeople before even knowing what they wanted, besides being famous. As a popstars, actor or TV presenter they don't care as long as they get famous. Sad really... Right now I can't even remember the last new album I bought, perhaps George Michael I'm not sure.”

This is not to compare to the UK press situation I know, but I think maybe Kim knew a bit from her father about the negative things in the business, and when the press got to much for her to handle I'm sure she had some people behind her who could take care. What I mean is I can't see the negative press being a good reason for not continuing making music, as you say it must be something she just have to do because it's in her. Does this make any sense?”

“WoW Karlitto, that s what I call a music lover! Just a few things, I don t think we have to take nostalgy as a refuge if we don t want to end like Pascal Sevran ;-) I personaly do stay faitfull to my old favourites because they partly made what I am today, I mean, when I was a little schoolboy, they were such an inspiration ;-) But now, I wouldn t like to enclose myself into nostalgy, I think we re currently living 1 of the richest period in music, a lot of different styles improve, get better and it s 1 of my discipline: staying curious of the current sounds. Of course we don t have to take anything for granted, you can easily avoid M6 and Star Academy where they lay, because just like you say, it s done with a calculated budget but without feelings. You know what stays forever? Feelings. Star Academy is a current pollution and the result of the '80s MTV that made of us kind of a narcissiK generation, they made us believe that even without a certain talent, being seen on TV makes you a star, which is wrong. It s all PoP corn. Anybody has an idea of what Loana is up these days? Floating in a swimming pool to relax her 2 whales? No, crap doesn t last for long. There s no secret, only talent and inspiration make you stay, that s why Kim stayed for so long and I do believe she left the bizz for a lack of motivation after seeing her weight seemed more important in the press. I can clearly understand, even if not a musician myself, what kind of disapointment it must have been sometimes. Crap is an option, just choose avoiding it. Take the good for you and believe me there are plenty of good bands around in '04, some rock, some make you dance, but they re here! ”

Not saying that is fair or anything, I hate those poeple who will get at anyone just for the money, but that's life. The critics reviewing records and concerts are almost never impressed with anyone and can always find something negative to say. I know they have to be critical but you can be that in a positive way I think. I think it's all about not taking them or one self too seriously and then you will have the strength to survive almost anything in life. But it's hard not to get affected by it I guess.

“i do understand your point Mr byrd,& i still don't understand the UK media..they should have been very proud & they still should be..anyway,of course Kim did a good choice to think about her own family first but something tells me the more you let wrong notes sound,the more people listen to bad Music,the more you let only so-called singers express,the more people think it's good,because radios,tv,press tend to make you think it's NICE when it's simply USELESS if not stupid.And they're very persuasive..That's the way Ignorance kills True Art. Sorry my vision of Art is a bit different,full of colours,sounds & FEELINGS.And Art is changes.Most of the time i can't hear good songs beause of a lack of feelings nowadays.And because most of the new coming singers have no real personality.What happened to our heroes today?Why stay away & let record comp sell commercial soup,have we come to the point of no return? Do we have to become so nostalgic because we don't have the chance to see the light of a brand new day? Or maybe is this because we better shut up & never get hurt more.I've been playing music with my mind,music with my heart & soul,i feel happy cos it makes me feel the happiest.There's not a day i don't think about Music!

“Regarding Kim's perception in the UK media.You are absolutely 100% correct in your views.The UK tabloid or gutter press are the most parasitic/viscious in the world.If you think then that the pop press are failed tabloid writers you get close to their niche.Slightly above the amoeba or plankton.They have the" build them up to knock them down"approach which I think makes them feel they hold power over artist's that they envy. When Kim came along they were fast to praise her as it was impossible to find fault,great pop songs,well produced,nice fresh image etc.However when Kim kept on going they were a bit fed up because they thought ok we've given you your 15 minutes of fame,now go away.Of course she didn't and they got more and more jealous until they tried the worst thing they could come up with.Kim's old fashioned,jaded we want these new pop stars who will do anything we want them to and then disappear when we've had our fun.Kim just stayed and stayed and stayed.As you said the family have the talent and the intelligence to keep on going.Kim would have a deal now if she wanted one and would kiss the corporate ass .She also has the 80's tours which she can enjoy and still be a good mother,wife,gardener etc. I admire her for having the integrity to know what is real and what is really important in life.In effect she has taken them all on,won and has the humility to not even think about it.Compare that to the flesh baring me,me,me antics of so many others and a totally different picture emerges.Britney,Cristina etc could learn a lot but then I don't think they would understand.

“Hey Mr Byrd! Now I take some time to give you my impressions about Kim s singing career during the '80s, an answer from you would be received with a pleasure of course, do you have an idea of the honour you and Pierre give to us these days Steve? Well, here we go! When I was a little boy, my big star was Kim and I used to spend all my money on cheap teenagers mags, even if there was just a micro picture of her. Just her name, Kim Wilde, had a magiKal effect on me. I m kind of an obsessed person and when I love someone, it s strong and forever (I should know now ;-), all that to tell you that maybe the way I saw her was not necesseraly the way she was perceived by the other people. I started to read french and german mags before discovering the brit teenagers mags, like Smash Hits or Number 1, and then I remember I thought they were shitty on her because so opportunistiK. I mean, it s so easy always choosing the winner s camp! After "Another Step" (the album) was out with the great "Hangin'On" as an opener, "Another Step" (the single) was another smash hit, so she could be seen in those mags. The truth is that they gave a bad image of her, I don t know if you ever read the concert review in Smash Hits of the Town And Country Club in '86. I, the little swiss teenager thought, "F*ck, instead of being proud of her, the brit media seem to be jealous of her fame!" That s right, it was sort of a jealousy. Because she didn t enter any category. After 1 or 2 obscure years, the girls from Bananarama chose the facility by signing with Stock/Aitken&Waterman, who brought them back under the spotlights with "Venus", "I Heard A Rumour" or "Love In The First Degree" with just a (major) difference with the early years: they had become a marketed "wash n'go" product (Siobhan left the band for that reason), I still think their "True Devotions" LP is the best they ever made, even if the sooooooooooo S/A/W "WoW" is the brits all time fave. So, S/A/W manufactured the 'Nanas, Kylie, Astley, Donovan, Mel&Kim and... Sonia (!). Wilde, being Marty s daughter and Rick s sister had no intention selling her soul to the charts gods. On the other hand, you had girls like Sam Fox and Sabrina who were there to... entertain the Pope, isn t it? I still thank God today Kim never took her top off to sell more. And the superstar league, like Madonna & Co, were already involved with MTV like Marilyn for the 20th Century Fox a few decades before, it was the evolution of the american life & PoP culture. Kim was european, doing her Wilde songs like a lonely bird... But Kim is not a loser, she would not have gone through the little door whispering to her audiance "Don t say nothing s changed...", Kim is clever and gifted, so are her dad and bro, so what they did was "Close", sort of a compromise in a S/A/W time, but in a Wilde style. "Close" includes some of the strongest Wilde melodies, songs like "European Soul" or "You ll Be The One" are 100% Wilde pearls. When the brit media saw "You Came" getting higher and higher in the charts and the album following proudly, they started to change their bitchy words into "the best selling british female singer of all times", sorry but that s*cks. So opportunist, so non sense. If you are proud of someone, then you are also proud of him/her when he s lower. The brit press has always loved seeing their stars falling down the dumper, look at Boy George back then... That s why I think Kim s career is so atypical, so out of every theory, so unique. She always managed to stay faitfull to her roots, with highs and lows. That s also why I would never compare a girl like Madonna to her. Also why I was the only 1 at school telling the others, during the Wilde vs Ciccone war, "my heart is big enough for the 2 of them and look, I m lucky, I have it all for me!" ;-) I wish you all a wonderful life, I gotta get out of my souvenirs now, shit! ”
“Ohh Finally this video is just awsome and so as song, i was in Moscow at that time 1988 and they showd remember Kim participated in "Let it Be" Charity song, Paul McCartney was hosting and each artist were showing there personal videos and "Another step " was Kim's it was my 3rd video that i ve seen of hers, totally blew me away she introduced Pop-a Class. not overdone but yet not too little it was just perfect.

“Actually Steve the first time I saw Kim live was during the Catch tour, and I was already 17 (you do the maths!) And my first memory of you is when you were doing the backing vocals on "Dancing In The Dark"! Here's another song that sounded better live, almost like a Level 42 track. I also remember that on the program you already mentionned 'Rock Bottom' as your favorite album, and I thought you meant the collection of the worst singles ever recorded which I had read about in 'The Book Of Heroic Failures' (recommended reading if you want a good laugh). I thought: "well, this one must have a wicked sense of humor!" And yes, I should be working and no, I don't have a life :-)”

“Hey Pat, funny story about your dad s point of view about the lyrics meaning of your favourite singers! My dad always did the same and told me that "Take On Me" didn t mean anything at all, that I m a grown up child, I clearly understand why it didn t mean anything to him ;-) Anyway, he repeated all the time that Madonna was a slut (you re right dad), that Nena couldn t sing (well...) and the only 1 who was worth listening to was Kim Wilde, me and my mum laughed in his back as we both knew it was not exactly her voice and songs he fancied at the time... Anyway, you can explain your dad that "Big In Japan" is a song about the power of occidental money to buy cheap sex in Asia, if not clear then, it s very clear now. Something I can t tolerate are the big fat ugly men buying children s innocence, they don t have any idea of what they break, even if they re sick for doing such a crime. Phewww, this 1 s a bit hard, but every truth has got to be written somewhere and this place s a perfect place to express ourselves, under a Wilde flame of course, and now flying on a beautiful Byrd wings ;-)))”

“That's what I meant about her being at her greatest on that tour (greatest hits tour!) - she seemed to enjoy it so much, and so did we. The Danish critics also mentioned the version of "Real wild child" in a very positive way and she did also wear those red devil horns. When she introduced Steve as her own personal guitarhero she laid down on her knees and made this worship thing with her arms (I don't know how to explain in english) and then also for Ricky afterwards "or else he would get jealous at Steve" she said. She was so funny and over the top at that concert. I have a recording of it (shhhh) made on tape on a little ghettoblaster and I have heard it 100s of times since and simply love it. Brings back memories of my best live experience with Kim Wilde and band. And they have all been great I must say, she just seems to love it. ”

I do remember watching Alphaville's first video on the 'top 50' on TV with my dad, though, and my dad saying he hated that song 'because the lyrcis were so stupid. What the hell does 'big in japan' mean anyway?" "Err, dad, it means they're POPULAR in Japan." Guess he thought it was something dirty :-) _______________________ Rashid, I had the pleasure of seeing Kim 20 years ago on the Rage to Rock tour when as an encore she did "Rage To Love", announcing it would be her new single. I was overjoyed! (She also did a fantastic version of 'Putty In Your Hands', even better than the studio version if you can imagine!) 10 years later, during the Hits tour, she asked the audience what would they like as an encore. "Love Blonde?" she suggested. And we we were like "naaaa!" She laughed and gave the mike to some guy in the audience, and he just went "ben, j'sais pas moi!" ("duh... dunnow!") I think the whole house was thinking "Why did she have to pick this twerp?" The girl next to me was pleading for 'Rage To Love' but Kim had previously insisted the encore had to be a number they had already played, and since 'Rage To Love' was a flop in France (sometimes I hate my country) it wasn't on the menu. Oh well. We all settled on 'Kids In America'. Except that she had come on stage earlier on rolling her eyes and telling the audience: "Can you believe they say I'm too old to sing 'Kids In America'? So I won't sing 'Kids In America'!" Everybody hurts. "I'll sing 'Kids In La Cigale' instead!" (that was the name of the venue. And she did! Rashid, I wish you would have seen her then, she was at her most relaxed and funny during that tour (not to mention gorgeous!) The highlight was at the end when she donned a pair of devil red horns and did a terrific cover version of Iggy Pop's 'Real Wild Child'. She had the critics eating out of her hand with that one. And Steve, do you remember the huge hand you got when she introduced her band and your turn came? You could tell this was a house of 'connaisseurs' (except for that twerp who got the mike)!”

The reaction from the crowd at the 3 concerts I've been to in 2002-3 has been just as good as it was back then and I actually think Kim sings even better live nowadays than back then. I can't wait to see her at Wembley for the Here&now in December. She just seems to like it even more these days. The best concert I've ever been to though was at the Greatest hits tour in 1994 in Tivoli. She was amazing and wearing the silver clothes from the "In my life" video. But I still think she sings better now. Like the voice is stronger. I don't know...”

“Rashid, Another Step is probably my favorite video of Kim's. Never before had her feminity and sex appeal been so well unleashed. I'll always remember the first time I saw it, right before a gig Her Royal Wilderness was giving just outside of Paris. I was swooning so much I sounded brain-damaged. As for Rage To Love, it's one of my favorite singles too bu_t the clip is just OK. A simple affair of La Wilde on stage with the boys. I remember reading at the time (on the program for the Rage To Rock tour I think) that the idea was to remind people she was a stage performer too, not just a studio singer. I think they got the idea by now :-) _________ Alisue, are you psychic or what? I've had "Fallen Angel", of all tracks, in my head all day long ever since reading Steve's comments about Alphaville. And I haven't heard the damn thing in 20 years!”
“I can remember seeing this video on Top Of The Pops when I was 5! Me and my sister use to dance to it and I always thought that they were so cool. And I still do now. I do like this song and version, but it is probably one of my least favourite singles. I love the way in which she's being such a diva at the beginning of the video with that scarf and those glasses!”
“Oh wow, I love to see Kim rockin' away! "Rage To Love" was always one of my favourites although many fans never seem to mention it. I must admit that the single version is much better than the album version as it gives it a bit of a kick and really gets you in the party mood. I still am yet to see the official videoclip *winks at Pierre*. And Steve, it certainly looks like a lot of fun to perform this track! I really hoped that Kim would have performed it at the "Here And Now" tour. Maybe next time.”

Laying on my bed waiting for the divinities daring to tease me tonight and listening to "Fallen Angel" by Alphaville, I want to dedicate to you "Your Honesty" by Lady Ritchie tonight, "...

“Well she works hard for the money in this clip. Great song, love that song and she seems to have fun but the dancing and the skirt, the jacket and the hair. I loved at the time but now it seems like one of Kim's worst fashion periods I think. Still she's so sweet and all... ”

As for my looks, I wouldn't call myself ugly either (false modesty irritates the hell out of me.) I'm comfortable with how I look, though it took me some time to get there. I'm not a classic beauty, and I'm not everybody's type but I still get lucky sometimes so I'm not complaining :-) I agree with you that beauty is 90% personality, which is why I fail to find Jennifer Lopez attractive. If Kim Wilde had turned out to be a bimbo she would have been forgotten a long time ago, looks or not looks. And Courtney Taylor-Taylor would probably be completely unsufferable if he didn't have that great sense of humor. So there you go!”

“So here am I, back from my after Spain salad diet ;-) and there are a few things I d like to tell you Steve, understand me, I m not writing to the Kim Wilde Band musician called Steve Byrd, but just the musician Byrd. In Spain I saw The Chemical Brothers, 2 boys from Manchester who got together through a common taste for Public Enemy, Cabaret Voltaire, The Jesus And Mary Chain and Kraftwerk, they invented a new sound in '95 that was about to invade the clubbey scene. A powerful music based on a strong bass line that hits where it feels good. The festival I was in, the FIB, was proudly celebrating its 10th anniversary under the friendly spanish sun and with a program that s nowhere else to be found! It was the very first I went there and the friends I was enjoying the FIB with have gone there every year since the mid '90s, like a routine. They told me that the Chems in concert in Benicassim is like surfing on a rocket and believe me, the day of their venue, you could feel electricity in the air since the early after noon... We were about to quit Planet Earth to go on Venus, Mars, Jupiter, the Moon, the Sun and back to Earth, soflty carried by the 2 magicians. They enjoy a "close 2 God" status over there and that s why they come back every year. Their show was madgestiK, both for the sounds and the visuals... I love music so much when I m lucky enough to be part of such an event you know, it makes you realise that music never stops, like Kraftwerk s masterpiece "Music Non Stop"! After rock n roll re-Invented a whole generation, people thought "Wow, we ve just invented the coolest groove on Earth, impossible to make better from here!" and History has shown us that it was wrong, that music is a never endening inspiration, full of good and less good discoveries but always in motion. Because music comes from the heart and goes straight to the people s hearts.”

I prefer my life today, I see some of my goals going even further than what I could have dreamed about 10 years ago, my horizon is opening wide and I personaly think that keeping young at heart depends on the horizon you have in front of you. No, "Forever Young" only reminds me of a time I had no idea of time value, never felt so? You never got that feeling that this life is holy enough not wasting your time on nothing? Becoming older is becoming wiser, definitely. But if that process includes physical and health problems and most of all, a lack of time, then it makes me vomit.

JR I know Kim has always been quite expensive,but you get what you pay for don't you?It was great working with a stunning woman like that and we had some good times.Don't forget she was also my boss so it was a professional relationship,but Kim would let us get away with some really stupid stuff.I was pestered all the time by people wanting me to introduce them to Kim.If I trusted them and thought Kimwould like them I would introduce and stay close by.If there was a problem I would get them to leave.If I took the wrong person Kim would give me a hard time,but it almost never happened. In bars and pubs I only had fights in the north where people can't drink well,and the south,I knocked down 4 or 5 Aussies before being dragged out by three gigantic doormen and I still walked back to the hotel.I couldn't sing for a few days after being punched in the throat. Pat.........,the Alphaville guys were quite Socialist in their outlook and were only signed by MCA because a lady they liked and trusted worked there. They had houses together somewhere and all the guys in the band and their partners lived together,then came all the road crew and assistants.Then came all the hangers on and slowly outside people brought problems and it became too big.The main guys were very talented and sensitive types and I think the pressure was not what they wanted.So it started to break up a little until it faded away.

It was the first time I contributed to a song with my guitar riff becoming the backing vocal riff too.Thats where our writing team began from.Dave Edmunds did a good job on the 7 inch mix too.Kim had fun paying homage to her father the King of English Rock and Roll and of course,Elvis.”

I'm not sure why the director decided to apply those weird, "shaky" effects to some scenes (basically those featuring Kim), but I suppose it's somewhat of the same approach Soderbergh took in "Traffic".

Good ol' rock - that'll never grow out of fashion ;) Even though the performance itself is perfectly fine, we're once again dealing with a lip synch, which certainly is a pity. That lowers the rating one notch to an 8.”

“Steve, what a great surprise and such a nice gesture of you to treat us to your autobiography! Many thanks to Pierre too for that summer gift! I've gulped it all down and can't wait for the rest. The history of your mother's family during the war is heartbreaking. Regarding your comment to Alisue, I'm also curious about Alphaville's "commune". Hope you tell us more about it. Marian Gold always struck me as a very sensitive fellow, given his underrated songwriting skills. ____________________________ LoveBlond22, why RAGE TO LOVE you ask? Since it happens to be one of my favorite Kim Wilde singles, along with Water On Glass, my theory will probably not gel with yours. However, you have to remember that Shangri-La (my all-time fave along with Kids and Child Come Away) had already been released as a b-side to The Touch (at the time I thought it a prime example of a b-side that should have been a a-side, sorry Rashid!) and was probably considered not commercial enough for a single. Aside from that, I always thought Rage To Love was an obvious choice for a single, and many critics at the time seemed to agree, even those who didn't like the album. So did the english buying public and Rage was Kim's first top 20 entry since...View From A Bridge, 3 years before. A good omen for Kim's comeback the following year with Hangin' On.”
“"Rage to love" is except with "Water on Glass" one of the Kim Wilde singles that I really don't get very warm with yet. But I love this performance, and the crowd (the audience) seems to enjoy it well. I also like this shorter single edit. I'm just asking myself why they didn't release "Suburbs of Moscow" or "Shangri-la" as the 3rd release of TEASES & DARES. Any ideas???”

“Hi to Alisue,Lisa,Rashid,Maxim and y'all, Alisue your comments are a big help.Of course I followed early German techno,I used to do gigs with Can back in the hippy past of the Roundhouse and I saw early Krafwerk gigs,my mates saw them in the UK not so long ago.We hung out with Alphaville at their "commune" a bit and they were nice idealistic boys,I remember they cried when we I mentioned the war,but I think I got away with it (Fawlty Towers)I know the guys from Telec who invented Belgian electronica,as they produced my mate Alec Mansion a Belgian artist. Lisa, Kim calls me "Nums"she named me this after seeing "The Party" a Peter Sellars film where he played an Asian at a party and was drunk, talking to a parrot saying ,Hello Birdy Birdy Num Num ,so Kim has called me that evers since,now shortened to Nums.Byrdman is my email prefix,the band used to call me Iceman,but I'm too warm for that ,so I diverted it to Byrdman,as I finally felt grown up.(Lets all meet up in the year 2000 etc,Pulp,yep another Sheffield band) Rashid,all chart positions are at www.kimwilde.com Pierre won't mind you looking. Maxim,you are so right ,Rick me and Kim can have FUN on stage.Nobody wants to pay me or I would do it.Unfortunately I am a professional so won't carry my gear to a gig ,play ,drive home etc without a decent paypacket.I will be playing with all the family, Marty too ,at a summer party,sure I'll do that for free.Don't think too much about a new album.It can't be done if Kim won't promote it and I don't think she needs to slog around endless tv,radio,press interviews anymore.She has a much more fulfilling life as a mum,wife,garden designer etc.The tours are her bit more fun without giving up what she has gained since the tyranny of promotion is finished. I hope I don't get sued for any of my comments,it's Pierre's fault as he is responsible for any site content.Maybe not I never read the small print. Cheers,I'm off to the pub. Steve the Byrdman.”

Not bad if you consider that is as good as "You Keep Me Hangin' On" and "Never Trsut A stranger" did over here. I think that on the strength of that single "Love Moves" managed gold status in France but I could be mistaken (you'd have to ask Dgé, I seem to remember he's the one who gave me the information at the time - yes, we go back a long way.) I agree with you however. this would have been a top 10 hit in England, possibly a top 5. Why they never released it over there is beyoond me, just as why they never released "Stay Awhile" or "How Do You Want My Love" or "European Soul" as singles. Don't get me started on this, I'm too drunk anyway. (you have no idea how long it's taken me to write this few sentences in a coherent way.) ANYWAY... Lisa dear, I've been thinking of you tonight (you have no idea how, trust me, it's flattering but not dirty.) ANYWAY (bis) I forgot to take my camera to get fixed today (had it in my bag too, talk about acte manqué) BUT - I will, definitely, come monday. Don't you lvoe that word "definitely"? I remember Kim using it on french TV 20 years ago when they asked her about her hairstyle (don't ask me to replace it into context.) * sigh* She gave off that Garbo aura at the time, mysterious and all... Not that I regret it though. Who would have thought that 20 years on, she would have shed the Garbo quality for a much more down-to-earth persona and still manage to make our hearts quiver? That's re-invention for you: being true to yourself. Eat your heart out, Mrs Richie. ___________________ Pat (who's drunk and doesn't care who knows it)”

Thanks for all the great work you did with Kim in the past, and I hope you two will be working together again soon. I think you and Ricky were the perfect guitar duo that electrified Kim's live performances. Every time I go to a Here & Now gig and see that guitarist just standing there playing his guitar, I think to myself "it could have been Steve, rocking around the stage, interacting with Kim, Rick and the audience, lashing out his guitar licks..." As we know, Kim has been gathering some material for a new album. Any chance of you working with her? Perhaps an injection of your creativity is what Kim needs to get more motivation? Maxim.”

Ce qui le rend cynique et peu sympathique, n empêche que ça colle à fond au monde décrit de la publicité dans "99 francs". Mylène chantait juste après "Maman A Tort", "On Est Tous Des Imbéciles"... Le thème du livre reprend le même thème que le monologue du début et de fin de "Trainspotting", ou alors le rap de "American Life" ou elle récite tous les biens matériels qu elle a pu s offrir au cours du temps, c est à dire tout, en finissant sur cette question "Do you think I m satisfied?"”

I remember how much I loved the first album by Alphaville, that was out in '84. They were a sensation in Germany while you, the boys and Kim wore her favourite stage outfit ;-))) they had hits like "Big In Japan", "Forever Young" (I can t listen to that one without crying today...), "Sounds Like A Melody". I still listen to the album sometimes and everytime I m impressed by the avant garde of their sound in '84, a song like "Sounds Like A Melody" could be re-Edited in its original version and be a massive hit in '04. ”

About drugs, you slowly understand what kind of bad influence had his friend Marilyn on him. George was weak and famous, Marilyn was strong, devilish and jealous of his friend s popularity... It s often like that, you can be surrounded by people who seem to want you to feel good and it s actually the contrary. Boy George shouldn t have trusted a stranger...

Punk was big there, I mean, there s only 1 Nina Hagen (and God knows that she deserves that opera singer status). Taking an element and putting it in another category is always a good surprise and an interesting creation process. That works for fashion, music and human nature ;-) So what about a punk cabaret for Germany Steve? There s a CD I deeply advice to you, it s the MTV Germany Unplugged by Die Ärzte, it s a somptuous collection of punk songs by an (old, from the '80s...) german punk band, revisited with a big chord orchestra. The result is just 1 of the smartest unplugged ever, together with Nirvana s. Good inspiration Steve, it s good to have you 'round!”

I currently need ideas for Germany NO BIERKELLAR please ,at the moment I'm thinking the great classical composers.I am using Violin and Accordian for the new member states of the EC,any ideas welcomed for typical sounds,if it has strings and frets all the better.

I've been watching the documentary MOTOWN THE UNTOLD STORY over and over and crying my eyes out each time I reach the final scene. It's about all the 'unsung' musicians of Motown who created the sound of all the great hits and never got their due.

“Yeh this is more like it!Kim seems really happy/vibey,I love the bit at the end with the highly excited audience makes me laugh ,which is always good.Also a hit single with a lead guitar solo by me in the Hangin' On stylee. Good fun. Steve Byrd.”
“Meant to reply to messages asked about the thrill of it.I wrote it with Kim at her apartment when she lived near St.Johns Wood ,London.It was one of the first of many songs we would write together over the years.Technology was in its infancy in the early 80's and Kim was coping with her first steps into Information Technology or as we all say IT. Therefore it was her first thrill with a new computer and of course you have to turn a computer on as the lyric says in the chorus.Hope that makes sense............ Of course I'm only joking.......sorry.Its really about Love and Sex. I had a wonderful time with some of your members at Kims gig by the sea recently. Pierre is a dude and Krasi and her husband are lovely. Any females in the London area want to meet for a chat,send me a mail. Love to y'all. Steve Byrd (Kim's guitarist for many years.)”
“I don't know really if I like this clip or not. It really has a strange atmosphere, and Kim looks very hot. But I miss some exciting parts. The scenes with "the mark on ..." and on the beach are quit nice.”

Believe me Pat, I ve been laughing like crazy when the Dandy Wahrol made a special dedicace to Britney Spears, I wished you were there with me and your big nose ;---) The Chemical Brothers, even if a bit passé now, still know how to move a crowd in a unique and powerful chemical way, with that never changing end of show "LOVE IS ALL, ALL IS LOVE", me and my M got it straight in the face, violently. It was huge. The Pet Shop Boys came to sing their greatest hits, ending on "It s A Sin", father forgive me... They were cool, over kitschy (I still can t believe what the years have done to Chris, help! He was so cute in the past...), Air are the french touch openers and they seem to improve all the time, very smart, very cool, very français. I love them. Stop radioactivity, merci Madame Curie...

Everybody will remember LCD Soundsystem from this '04 FIB edition, you would have loved them Pat, they re dark rock n roll hits makers...

“Hi Lisa, We’ve been missing you a lot lately. I hope you are OK really… Well, we spoke for different things with Kim. We didn’t talk too much about music actually – I would hate to ask her “that” question about her plans of a new release… If there is something new cooking, we will definitely learn on time ;o) I think Kim didn’t remember me. But I wasn’t expecting her to remember a fan she’s been talking to only once, more than a year ago… Besides, I wasn’t wearing my black leather outfit ;o)) Otherwise I am sure she would remember… But my outfit kinda took her attention again, LOL ;o) I was wearing a T-shirt with her self-written dedication – 4 Krasi (heart) Kim Wilde (signature). I got that on the BTBW CD signed in Tivoli and I made a number of T-shirts (different colors) with it. Nasko and Pierre also had such T-shirts (4 Krasi wasn’t there, of course). So, Kim noticed and asked about the T-shirts. She was pleasantly surprised and she said that she really likes them. We spent some time laughing at my offer to give her one… I was just kidding of course – you don’t expect me to think that Kim Wilde would wear a T-shirt saying “4 Krasi….stuff”. I doubt that she would wear something having her own name on anyway… We also talked about the concert, the hard time we all had driving to Bournemouth. I asked about Harry and Rose and why she didn’t bring them with her. She replied that it was too hot and the traffic was awful, so it would be really bad idea to take them to Bournemouth that day. I told Kim that my daughter, who is barely 6 now, loves her songs and sings along with them… I think Pierre mentioned a few days ago that he handed to Kim a CD called “MISSING”. This CD contained some remixes and covers of Kim Wilde’s songs, done by the WILDE fans for this website as a dedication to her and the WILDE team. He also said that we are very grateful for the lovely music they’ve been giving us throughout all those years. Pierre said that even if we don’t get anything new, we will somehow manage to live with it… Kim was really moved… Moreover, she said to Nick that they must listen to the CD on their way back… Kim shared with us that Roxanne has bought recently a small house in Knebworth and that she managed to turn the tiny garden into a piece of heaven… At some point I gave Kim an album with nice photos of her, taken at the Tivoli show. She liked three of them and I was so happy to offer her to keep them, which she did. There was of course some other stuff we talked about but that was really not too important… It was just chatting… Oh, and Lisa, darling, if I ever decide to do a plastic surgery, I will definitely want the same nose… ;o))) ”

“Thanks Wildestorm. Looking forward to hearing the news when your little one is born! Reading Krasi's story about meeting Kim cheered me up a lot!!!...Tell me Krasi, did she remember you from last time, and what did you all talk about around the table? Philippe, regarding Pierre's schooze: My mother thinks men with big noses are incredibly sexy - that's why she adores my father?? It's probably bigger than Pat's and Pierre's put together. I haven't really checked out Pierre's nose yet, just thought "oh doesn't he have a nice look in his eyes, and dosn't he look "tight" in jeans"..just that kind of thing really. As for my nose, I'm not completely satisfied with it, but I don't really mind it at the same time. If I wanted a nose job though, I'd definitely bring Kim's picture with me to see the plastic surgeon! Make it like hers - it's sooo cute and perfect looking!!!”

And no, you do not have a big schnoze - I`m a little bit of a tease sometimes - , despite what I had said about people who share our ethnic background (1. I`m not telling which. 2. My aunts could keep a bunch of puppies dry from the rain with those snouts, so it still is true.3.

Couldn't you take me in one of your suitcases? Your report is like a Wilde fan dream come true, you had great time, no doubt about it. Did you talk to Kim about her music plans at all? Is she going to record anything new? If you didn't ask this question, then you'll have to suffer the fury of most fans, I'm afraid. C'mon, tell us more! ”

“When someone says "I am going bananas", I automatically think of certain Kimmy performances in the 80s. Does that make me abnormal? Well, yes, probably. Anyway, Alex, I haven't checked out the board thoroughly so I am not sure exactly where those bananas grow, but have a good time. Hey - weren't you on vacation just recently..? :)”

“A beatiful woman dressed in a sharp outfit singing in a picture postcard location, could we fans ask for anything more.”
“Who made the hair on those backing singers!!! - So 80's...Kim on the other hand is lovely and the song which I haven't heard for a while is actually quite nice. I loved her in that outfit back then but didn't she use it a bit often like the leathersuits nowadays?”

“Hey guys, what can I say in just five minutes time? It was just a "normal" meeting between "normal" people, just the way it would happen if your co-worker was to introduce his sister or wife.. except the latter might be not as beautiful and talented as Kim (well, who knows? just try!). I guess you should ask more details from Krasi, because my sweet friend from Bulgaria was there with her husband and she's better than me at telling stories. I simply want to add that I had compiled a CD with the best of the artwork (covers, remixes) that had been made for WTV by fans those months, Kim took it and said "Nick (Boyles) and I, we'll listen to it carefully on our way back, tomorrow". I hope it was the right way to say how much we care about her music, even though at some point I mentioned that her own happiness was the most important thing to preserve (well I guess she hasn't waited for me to be aware of it!). Finally, the gig was nice as usual, and also a great occasion to spend some time with Marcel, Katrien (a lovely girl) and all the others around. Have a nice day everyone, I'm on my way to Covent Garden for a "little bit" of shopping..”
“Hello Wildstorm. You can find the Blue Ice's cover of YKMHO on acquisitionsx (i'm using a mac) or kazaa, sites like that. If you have any problem, I might send it to you through email (just give me your address) alright ? :-)”

“Hi Marc, I have been trying to find this remake of "You keep me..." by Blue Ice since I heard a bit of it on TV. I just can't seem to find it. It sounds great I think. Pierre it sounds as if you are having the time of your life - meeting Kim and staying in London what more could a boy ask for? Tell us more tell us more....”

Steve had secretly arranged a private meeting with Kim, which added a special touch of magic to this already unusual, fantastic weekend. I'm now staying in London for a couple of days so I may not be able to answer your mails immediately, thanks for your patience and see you soon on here!”

“Have any of you Wilders heard the brand new remake of "You keep me hangin' on" ? It's by an electronic band called Blue Ice, I think they come from Finland. It's very club-oriented, with female vocals and on one version there's a rap by a guy. It's really inspired by Kim's version, especially when it comes to lyrics with the line "you're just using me, hey !, abusing me" which was rewritten by Kim and Ricky. It's actually quite good, much better than the Sinema's version last summer. ”
“I strangely enjoyed watching this performance, even though this song has never been one of my favourites. However, I like this remix more than the album version and Kim seems to be having fun with this sexy image. ”

“Today is the national pride of Switzerland, August the 1st! And like in every country, they do wonderful fireworks so that every little swiss boy or girl can see where his/her money goes! In the air my friends, in the air! And on that holy day, guess what s the biggest tragedy of this holy day? AliSue s working on his computer to earn money to have fun in Spain in a few days, so I come to say hello to the sleeping, sunbathing, drinking, (...) Wilde Cicconection! It s the first time I m going in Benicassim and I can already feel the joy and power of the people who come there together, in music! As it s in Spain and AliSue s going back on camping after a few years laying in the illusion of luxury Taj Mahal and MadgestiK Palace! Oh yes my dears, that s it, I wanted a young hero? OK, here he is, but you d better adapt yourself in a camping mood... Nothing more oldish than going to a hotel for a festival! Me: "OK M, but I need 1 hour for me in the shower to get ready for the shows, so you protect the shower door for 1 hour everyday!" I bought my Brumisateur by Evian, my black spanish fan to make some wind and yesterday I ve been sewing a large white linen sailor trousers to shake my ass like an ace! I actually can t wait to go, my friends keep telling me "How will you deal with that Alex? Are you sure you can go camping?" and I laugh "Even Barbie goes camping you know, so why not me?" And we re staying in the press camping, so it s gonna be chic ;-))) Anyway what counts is the music, and the program is simply madgestiK! From the Chemical Bros to the Pet Shop Boys, form Lou Reed to the Dandy Warhols, from Air to Tiga... We re gonna have some fun! And for my spanish festival, I have even learnt the spanish! I know how to say "Si senòr!" and my M keeps on stressing me "No Alex, you don t have to say "Si senòr" to every man", and I answer him "Si senòr!" ;-))) James, did I show you the T shirt I bought in SF? It s a printed "MadonnaSummer" T shirt, she came and bought 1 for herself, the stuff in the little store couldn t believe it! You can imagine how they sold after having put a picture of her wearing the T shirt on internet... There was 1 piece left, and it was mine! So it s gonna be the "SpanishMadonnaSummer'04" Have fun everybody, dance and sing, get up and do your things!”
“Wow! Saying Kim is sexy in this clip is an understatement. She looks really hot! I always loved this song, too.”
