SimonAUDIENCE
But I asked Pete Waterman for a photo and the worst experience of my life.
Nick AbbottHOST
You asked him for a photo and he said, what of?
ShaneHOST
So, the Tony Moran remix of One for Sorrow was announced as Chain Reaction's double A-side in late August 2001, with the video going to the box two weeks prior to single release.
ShaneHOST
One for Sorrow was put in place as the double A-side due to the band's contract with Pete Waterman that every single release would include a PWL production.
BradHOST
Yes, we talked about this before.
BradHOST
I mean, look, it's not like the band ever confirmed it, but unofficially it's kind of been assumed that that was the case.
Seán Ó DubhchonGUEST
There are other things that people say about people who do bubblegum pop, or pop music, in the past, you know, because they used to do that in the past, the Basity Rollers, in the old days.
Seán Ó DubhchonGUEST
And in the old days there was PWL, like Pete Waterman, Stock Hake and Waterman, and people like Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, people like that.
Seán Ó DubhchonGUEST
There are so many other things in the language of music, neither cool nor sophisticated, that are hard to catch.
Seán Ó DubhchonGUEST
So that's why it's important to be aware of New Kids on the Block because music is hard to catch.
Molly GreenHOST
Yeah.
Molly GreenHOST
Today, I've pulled off Pete Waterman.
Darren RudgeHOST
[laughs]
Molly GreenHOST
[laughs] Now, you know last week we were talking with Bug Life Paul about whether it's feasible that large spiders and snakes could live in this country with our hot climate?

Pete WatermanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Kevin DayHOST
I didn't know that about Nui.
Kevin DayHOST
Pete Waterman, obviously, he's got a huge train collection.
Kevin DayHOST
Jules Holland has got a massive, massive train set, also with an underground line beneath it.
Kevin DayHOST
Oh, my God.
Holly CarnegieHOST
[laughs]
Mike StockGUEST
Um, um, and I think that's the answer to your question really, because I think Pete Waterman wanted to be thought of as a bit of British Motown, uh, f- kind of idea.
Holly CarnegieHOST
Mm-hmm.
Mike StockGUEST
But in the context of our partnership, uh, Pete was our businessman really.
Mike StockGUEST
He had background knowledge.
Mike StockGUEST
When I left, told my band, "I'm, I'm leaving, I'm going into record production," Matt said, he was the guitarist in the band, said, "I'm coming with you." [laughs] So we went down in my studio in my house and put some tracks together, and I took it to Pete Waterman, first of all, um, 'cause, uh, he knew me as a writer previously.
Holly CarnegieHOST
Mm-hmm.
Mike StockGUEST
He managed a, a producer called Pete Collins.
Kevin SimmGUEST
And...
Kevin SimmGUEST
So I think LWT had sorted that meeting out with him, and we saw Pete Waterman as well, and there were some other people who wanted to sign us.
Kevin SimmGUEST
Anyway, if we'd have signed those deals then, obviously LWT or whoever it was would have took probably a chunk of our earnings for the rest of our life, I'm sure.
Kevin SimmGUEST
So we kind of saw that this thing was going to run out in, like, after six months.
