Gary-solo interview 3
Q:So,Robbie-sell-out stadium concerts,a song that everyone plays at
their wedding.That was all supposed to happen to you,wasn't it?
A:Yeah,I guess so.
Q:At one point the insults were coming thick and fast.What was the most
hurtful thing he said?
A:I don't think there’s one thing,it's just how long it dragged on for
,and it become a reason for everyone else to slag me off.I mean,I
don't take myself too seriously,but you think,”Just go away,”It was
just so annoying by the end.
Q:Do you remember when you were the most angry at something Robbie had
said?
A:The hardest time was at the point when it had stopped just being him
doing all the nasty stuff and then everyone jumped on the bandwagon.
He stopped because He didn't need to carry on any more.It was as if
he'd shown everyone where I lived and said,”Go on,get on with it.”
Q:You do call him a c*** at one point in the book.Your anger towards
him must have been quite something….
A:I was angry for all the other people around,and when you know that
something was being said for you,sort of ….benefit.
Q:Did you ever try to contact him,to get him to stop?
A:I tried to,about two years ago.It was comimg up to Christmas,and I
thought,”I can't do another Christmas,I've got to speak to Robbie.”
He'd just done something on Radio 1 and,as usual,he did his Gary
Barlow bit.I tust thought,”I've got his assistant's number from
Jason and rang and left a message,but I didn't hear back.
Q:What would you have said to him?
A:”Hello,”I guess,and see what he said back!It probably wouldn't been
one of those bravado conversations where nothing's really said ,but..
Q:Would you have been able to stay calm during the call?
A:I wouldn't have exploded into anger.Well,not at that point.
Q:The bit at the end of the documentary where you're all waiting
to see if Robbie turns up…Presumably you knew he was never going to
turn up?
A:We didn't actually,because the executive producer had said,”I spoke
to Robbie this afternoon and he's coming.”He [the producer] lied to
us!I was totally really for Robbie to turn up.
Q:He's started being quite nice about you all on stage and in interview.
Do you think it's because he realizes people like Take That again?
A:My devious side would say that-but we all sat in a room earlier this
year when we were in the middle of the tour and,in some kind of
strange way,we're all like surrogate brother now.We're closer now
than we were the first time and I could feel Robbie itching to be
part of the whole Take That thing again.
Q:What was it like to see him again after all those years?Did you hang
back while everyone was hugging?
A:No,I was straight in there.We just hugged each other.
Q:Was it a genuine,warm hug?
A:Yes,it was.We didn’t say anything and I looked around and there were
about 30 girls with camcraphones and then we all went upstairs.The
following night,he came again and hung around for about three hours.
Q:What kind of things did you say?
A:Mark went into this whole thing about his life after the band and
getting depressed.And Robbie was very keen to know how had I felt
after being dropped from my record label!I told it like it was.
Q:Did you ask him questions?
A:We all did…and he was really interested in the show.I think he was
genuinely quite shocked at the scale of the tour.
Q:There was no attempt by you to challenge him,question him about all
those insults he'd thrown at you?
A:No,it wasn't the time.I don't feel the need to do that now.And I
guess,looking at the bigger picture,it needed to happen,that stuff,
to get to where I am now.Had I carried on being the person I was
before,I probaaly wouldn't have got married or had kids,and I've got
that.Now I've got everything ,I can walk around proud again-for the
last ten years,I couldn't do that.
Q:Robbie's just cancelled the Asian leg of his tour and the single's
done badly.It could all be going wrong for him.Would that please you?
A:Well,he's hurt me more than anyone else has.But as an adult and a
father…I'd hate to see him go through what I've been,because I
don't know if he’d come through the other end.On a musical level,
I know how much it keeps him together,doing this and being
successful.
And that's the irony-as Robbie experiences problems with his new album
[two tracks may have to be pulled for legal reasons] and faces up to
anoher bout of depression,Gary and Take That are on a high.The day a
fter our interview,the band fly out LA to do the final mixes on new
single Patience and the new album (due at the beginning of November).
Gary says it's the best thing they've ever done.And no amount of
negative words can dent that positive spirit.
各位看倌久等了,關於ROB部分聊比較多,在拍紀錄片之前Gaz自己主動想要與
Rob聊,所以從Jason(不知是否與橘子同一人?)那拿到Rob助理電話,但可惜
並未回應。
與Rob再重逢相聚,果然還是Mark主動向Rob說內心話,超級好朋友阿~~~
在拍紀錄片最後五人重聚部分,製作人還故意告知Rob會到場,所有醞釀情緒
所準備好的內心話,硬生生的吞回心中。難怪每個人表情都超悲,似乎有很多
話想說,但卻不知該從口中說出什麼字句?!
我想Gaz一定很能體會ROB現在的壓力,Gaz已經歷過,且現有幸福家庭,畢竟低
潮時連Gaz都會抽大麻煙、狂吃等,不怪乎,Gaz說「快樂對Rob而言是諷刺的」
