Hanson on 25 years of making music, avoiding pitfalls of fame

[@courtneywillett511]

I loved how Tay said - Oh we changed the key! Lol! I love Hanson! Been a fan since I was 11 & I'm 35 now!

[@bellababba83]

Look at Zac what a good looking bloke haha I remember being a teenage girl loving these three insanely ... now look at them,matured not stuffed up on drugs, never had a bad word in the public either, I mean hats of guys so proud of you !!! now girls are screaming for Bieber and in my opinion will never have the class like these boys 👍

[@DarkAngel128]

Alena 100% agreed.

[@amberfina0]

I agree!

[@zephyr823]

Alena Agreed!

[@laureng.2322]

Alena they all look good

[@marianaramirez6156]

100%agree

[@VivaToddVegas]

Even though I was a metal head when Hanson broke, I always respected them. They played their own instruments and wrote their own songs, which makes them actual musicians, instead of glorified dancers who do karaoke like so many other pop acts.

[@youretotallyrightbut463]

The fact that they wrote one of the most iconic songs of all time all by themselves, as children, Is pretty amazing

[@kroakie4]

They wrote songs that were beyond their years in terms of maturity. That is amazing to me.

[@Andy-nx8fv]

@@kroakie4 Yes! And their songs varied in terms of subject matter which always impressed me.

[@dedilythomas5149]

Hate listening to rap artists also nowadays. No true talent..

[@dedilythomas5149]

Hate listening to rap artists also nowadays. No true talent..

[@misstomrs]

They’re truly a rarity. They’ve only gotten better and better with age. It’s amazing.

[@treasurz1]

Despite all the haters, no one can deny these brothers have defied the odds and have a successful career over time. They still honour their beliefs and lifestyles along with entertaining their fans. One of the precious bands in that time to move forward and keep their true fans to this day! Well done boys 😘

[@jamieroberts1985]

Yes!!

[@EmmelineSama]

I like that 3 of their fans really stuck around.

[@Esjaiderman]

Im a rocker.. but I must recognize tha this guys take the good path in life and stay there... admirable to me. Music is not about drugs and alcohol. Maturity will say that sooner or later to everyone in the music business.

[@wait-what-really.]

They're vocally talented, each unique, good looking and seems like they have kept their feet on the ground without selling out......good on them

[@vanflor7159]

Down to earth & humble will take you a long way as Hanson shows.. they continue to love what they do & put their whole heart into it..& they always include the fans 😎 favorite band since '97 💗

[@millennialsmusicmix]

Couldn't agree more. :)

[@stevesteve1729]

This is your favorite band lol!

[@kroakie4]

100th like! These guys are and always will be my most favorite band of all!

[@lifesjourney9801]

My niece and I just saw the Hanson brothers tonight at Beacon Theatre and man oh man!!! They were awesome!! Unbelievable songwriters and musicians!! Great experience to see them perform!! Good job Hanson!!

[@stephaniel2850]

I was at the Beacon show as well! :D SUCH a freaking awesome show

[@jehovah-is-weak3478]

Real musicians. Real songwriters. This is the secret. Great message. Great work.

[@SaiMarie]

20 years later and Hanson is the band I still love most. They've always made me feel happy, inspired and positive. So glad to see continued success. #HANSONFOREVER

[@shair00]

Wow, that is awesome! Saved your parents a lot of money on therapy! :)

[@middle1014]

25 years later and they still have it. So talented they write their own music and play their own instruments. How many other boy bands do you know do the same

[@positiviteit]

Well, I think the only other boyband would be the backstreet boys. Even though they didn't at first, they do now! I have a lot of respect for both though!! :D

[@kaen1037]

How bout the moffatts

[@idle44]

None. Sorry, but I an quite old and modern music is, on the whole, largely s***

[@lonniestevens7963]

Fame didn't hurt these boys none. Smart young men. GOD BLESS THEM

[@chrystal9661]

I love Hanson so much. They've really worked so hard their entire lives (they make all their own music, have their own record label, they do all the merchandise, website, music videos, microbrewery, touring, the list goes on and on), sacrificed countless hours away from their wives and kids to bring us joy. And they are so REAL, I watched a couple videos about their families and you can just feel the love they have for their children (like all parents do) in these photos. Ah I just love everything about them. Every time I hear their music (whether I'm at home, in the car, or in a store) it still makes me scream, laugh, sing, and dance! Hanson for Life!

[@jamieroberts1985]

These boys are legends! Stood the test of time!

[@brandonwilson2732]

A shining example of how to deal with money, fame & stardom. Such a humble set of guys.

[@floravilen6675]

So glad they went off mainstream and did their own. This goes to show how great they are. They deserve the best. Well done guys!!

[@janalishamorrison5852]

I'm here because I saw this amazingly talent band on the masked singer and now I'm just in love with their voices I love hanson and they are handsome and they're so down to earth and I love it

[@gillianlandry283]

I had broken my ankle when that song came out and it really lifted my spirits when I was sitting at home feeling miserable and in pain!

[@versatilians]

Hey, hats off to those guys, sincerely. They've done extremely well and have continued to preserver throughout their career, all the while, keeping a level head, raising their families, and doing what they love to do. Can't hate on that. Period.....

[@katiejimenez7564]

These guys..they are the best out there. So down to earth, talented and genuine. I love them and their music!

[@brigidbrennan2119]

They are so real..I think they’re great, super humble

[@nomorehiding7989]

I have seen this interview a lot of times but I still come back.

[@bravoechoalpha8426]

Your music marks an era in my life I will never forget (31yo now) and I always get nostalgic and teary whenever I listen to your songs. My fav is album is "This time around". I hope to see you live one day ^^ (Brisbane, Australia).

[@sunsetwinds]

Taylor still taking over Zac in every interview after all these years...

[@millennialsmusicmix]

Taylor is like the frontman of the group (not just the lead vocals) when it comes to these types of interviews. In other types of interviews though like least formal ones (QnA's/ Who's Who), it's the other guys who are speaking more. No hate. They're brothers, and if it works for them why should we even question?

[@sunsetwinds]

aeweuue just an observation. I have been following them and buying every album they have put out since Middle of Nowhere, and gone to every show they have done close to me and all the while I have always found it funny when Tay cuts Zac off during interviews lol.

[@chelseywilliams8785]

I know! Poor zac

Yea, that's sad...

[@amipark28]

I find it cute tho. Haha! It’s like annoying your little sibling.

[@perfumaphilia3246]

I will always love these guys. They wrote their first hits when they were just children, anyone over the age of 25 will still remember their music. It's not easy writing iconic hit songs, folks.

[@LetTheMusicPlay1234]

It's amazing they stayed together after all these years. I like their new music and appreciate their older material.

[@stephaniel2850]

I really is pretty amazing, thinking about it- I feel like there probably aren't many bands out there who have lasted 25 years of working together with no significant hiatus! And I could imagine it being even more of a tricky road to navigate as siblings since you obviously wouldn't want it to get to a point where any tensions that are there become so bad that it becomes a risk of permanently damaging the familial relationships. They did have some definite tension (per their own acknowledgment) back around 2012 or so while they were working on their last full length album, but it makes me so happy that after just a brief break to let things cool off, they came through it fine and seem to be ready for many more decades to come of making awesome music together

[@robertmamea9916]

Glad they have still continue to stick it out and still be together as well.

[@scyiaofficial6093]

They seem like pretty chill guys. Great work Hanson!

[@jeremybuddle1924]

Hanson are a really great band, and I've been a fan of theirs since June 1997. Go check out "I Was Born" - it's a terrific, uplifting song, and it sounds fantastic live in concert! I was fortunate enough to see Hanson live in concert last weekend in Brisbane! :)

[@blendedbananas]

Such respect! MMMBop put those boys on the big time music map and they don't forget it. Good on them. What they are doing now would not exist without that first hit song of theirs. And let that be a lesson to all successful people: The past that made you is today and your future.

[@zephyr823]

Just saw them live tonight in Pittsburgh for the first time. A fan from the beginning. Amazing talent! Just incredible!

[@jasminrotap3356]

I love Hanson all of them actually reminds of my childhood since mmm bop time ❤️❤️❤️ keep safe ☝️

[@catharticpsychichealer2091]

Hanson was decent. Everybody tried to act like they was corney but low key liked all their music and them. Plus they paved the way for 90s boy bands and they made mad money from the jump.

[@Spooky_boo22]

They were my first ever concert and I'll always remember that night 25 years later I got to see them perform again it was amazing

[@aubsmart86]

Fan since 1992 and still going strong! Can't wait to see them in October! 😍🙌🏼💕 #hansonforever

[@cassandrafoster616]

Sweet! Do you go to their island retreat thing?

[@aubsmart86]

Cassandra Foster sadly haven't been able to go! But would so love to! See them every time they're in town!

[@cassandrafoster616]

I have never seen them and need to! I've been a fan for twenty years!

[@aubsmart86]

Cassandra Foster you have to go! It's so worth it! They're another level live! 20 year fan means you've earned a concert!! Tickets are too expensive either!!

[@jonathan2755]

Mmmbop only came out in 97 and that's when they became famous. 92 what when zach was like 3 years old.

[@amipark28]

I knew it! Goofy little Zac will grew up lookin’ fine af😍

[@Brooque613]

KZbin should have a love button.

[@lu_lenardt]

They are awesome. I’m in love with their work for 22 years now.

[@davidfriend1919]

It is amazing how much of an impact Hanson has had on all of mankind in particular the peoples of my own home country salinawaw island , which is located next to West Indies and is now finally reciebeing our sovereign nation status which is just amazing , and so thx Hanson ..

[@rebeccasjodal9769]

Wow! I am glad to see that they've managed to do so well in all these years😄 They were my absolute favourite band when I was around 10 years old. Too bad though I mostly heard that others thought that their music sucked😒 Which made me very sad😔 I never got the chance to see them live here in Sweden

[@AirinMu]

I love their songs because of the rhythm and meaningful lyrics of the songs they make.

[@annemariewood-orourke5994]

I just love them. and their new song "I Was Born" is just wonderful

[@Lightner445555555555]

Taylor should play Kurt Cobain in a movie.

[@robinbrl]

Totally Lightner!

[@lowprofile5947]

omg i thought the same

[@chelseywilliams8785]

Holy crap yes!!!

[@nenabunena]

he does look like cobain but it doesn't make him an actor or a good one even

[@Ijai777777]

Ya..same as Charlie hunnam

[@survivrs]

I had 2 young boys when MmBop came out and I absolutely loved it, and at nearly 60 now, I STILL love MmBop!!! My daughter-in-law grew up in Jenks!!! Now when we make the 500 mile trip to see our kids and grandkids, I'm going to keep my eyes open when out shopping, etc.

[@knowsimran1]

I am a huge Hanson fan from India. I started listening to them when I was 14 and still love their albums at 33. I now make my 3 year old listen to them. I have always enjoyed their interviews, but somehow while watching this, I couldn't help but feel bad for Zac. Does anyone else feel that mostly when Zac tries making a point, he gets cut off entirely by Tay or Isaac? I really feel that interviews should be about equality and Zac has as much a right as Tay or Isaac to speak up!

[@randomperson2107]

These brothers have always been on key they have grown up so fast but then I think it's been 25 years since mmmmm bop I think I'm just getting old but I grow up listing to Hanson

[@jayhoani3587]

mmmbop still remember the spirit of that song and it still dose it to me when i hear it today. those were the days.

[@cimitarthegrumpygamer3879]

I love that song "I was born" and I'm 48 years old! these guys are just so authentic! keep up the good work!

[@LunaLee1995]

Wow, that interviewer sounded so condescending. I kinda hated him. On the other hand, I'm so proud of Hanson and everything they've all achieved- musically and personally.

[@millennialsmusicmix]

He's not condescending. He's intentionally asking those questions to get the answers we need to know from Hanson.

[@ashleeb2162]

+amaenna noticed that too. Middle hanson wasnt going to creatively articulate responses everytime. The youngest seems a deep thinker. Ive got a cousin with the same mannerisms

[@greato80]

Even if they aren't mainstream stars anymore..they're healthy mature adults with families still making a living doing what they love, as brothers..that's a major success in my opinion.!

[@terrimanuri7944]

Love these Kids,they were My 2 younger Daughters heart throbs,and dang look at them now,Cuties

[@sammyxlee89]

Just saw them in concert over the weekend - they were amazing live!!

[@crankymcgee]

3:45 lol that guy will always be the youngest brother

[@millennialsmusicmix]

He grew up a bit 6:08 lol

[@aurorarain1415]

[@brixperez3951]

Lol these comments are life! 🙊

[@zharlou30Bacalso]

lol.. lmao..

[@lilnip67]

Honestly, I so far haven't heard any song from them except mmmbop. It will always remain as one of my happy songs. BUT! after watching this clip. I am amazed with how talented and intelligent these guys are and I have to listen to more of their songs.

[@kathywright8976]

Been a fan since the 90's still a fan. Love their music.

[@mmdmmj1]

Awww...I remember I used to always watch them on The Box back in summer of '97...memories! And the one with the ponytail....😍😍😍

[@Jaylin_01]

I am proud that they turned out to be such good men and they still sing so good

[@MONTES262011]

Still make music people need hear good songs. Don’t disappear We love guys !!!!

[@markmelitonlebuit9284]

The youngest and coolest Boyband of the 90's

[@ciarankelly4338]

Delighted for their success! Greetings from Ireland!

[@reizyryl]

I'm so proud of you guys!! You made a huge impact in my life ❤💋💖😘

[@thomasfleig3499]

Mmmbop sounds better now. Luckily Taylor ended up with a good singing voice after puberty, and went from looking like a girl to looking and sounding like Keith Urban. Funny how his older brother Isaac looks like Stephen Baldwin

[@youretotallyrightbut463]

Not only does he look like Keith urban, he actually kinda sounds like him a bit too....I wonder if there’s any inspiration there

[@Peachelliver]

omg. I was fucking attracted to taylor back then but ZAC is so freaking my type right now xD

[@animalsrock1910]

Little Hanson smiles with his eyes........gorgeous......

[@stephaniel2850]

haha, yep, Zac has legit one of the most radiant smiles I've ever seen and it always makes me melt :D Even from the balcony at their concerts, and with Zac being toward the back of the stage on drums, you can still see his smile!

[@c4test]

he used to have gap on his front teeth. did he fix that? whatever he did he has gorgeous smile now and look so darn hot

[@georghina8189]

wow amazing there still stronger together keep it up..my 90s song

[@lionsden6457]

Grew up listening to these guys. Good to see them still doing their thing.

[@neriashleycabajar1985]

I grew up with these guys when I was 6 years old!

[@JESUSISMYLORD36]

Why do people always introduce them with the song mmmbop ? they have more than one song

[@shellheals]

Ilovebrianlittrell They have a lit if other GREAT songs!

[@millennialsmusicmix]

Like Where's the Love. It's pretty awesome IMO

[@sujugothkitten]

Ilovebrianlittrell because it's the song that made them famous. it's the song that everyone fan or not will hear and know who they are.

[@JESUSISMYLORD36]

aeweuue check out their new stuff it's really good

[@JESUSISMYLORD36]

crookedcoupdetat I know that I'm just saying they should not be only known by just that song they had other good hit songs not just one .smh

[@3lrich]

"Do what you love and do it a lot" is now officially my motto. Thanks Hanson!

[@charisleones5630]

What taylor said what so true....behind the stories, like it takes a lot of hard work to avoid those "pitfalls"!!!

[@AmyJayne008]

honestly i have been a fan of them since they started, lovely men , amazing relationship with each other. one word for these three now? classy. well spoken , well mannered. thier parents mucst be so proud of them. im really pleased for them. my little boy daces like mad to 'i was born' lol

[@hmckinnon1974]

Lol "we changed the key" 😂

[@denadear]

Yeah, I rolled my eyes on that one. An interviewer who doesn't understand how music works. Lol!

[@Evy7071]

They are all handsome, talented, down to earth, humble and healthy. Their mother must be very proud.

Shasta MC thank you it was driving me crazy trying to figure out who he looked like

[@tpoltalksbasketball7298]

Stephen Baldwin combined with James Hetfield

[@melissawright1979]

Taylor is so right about Behind The Music documentaries. They focus more on artists private life and problems, they don't focus on the actual music x

[@LimitlessVlogs1025]

I still sing their song "I will come to you" (my fave song) in smule😊

I respect Hanson more than ever before!

This is what happens when good parenting comes in to play and child stars are doing things right by avoiding drugs/alcohol👍👍👌😍😘😘 Most guys around the time they hit the big time with MMMBop fell off the band wagon on drugs/alcohol but not HANSON.. Most guys have matured like a bad curry gone wrong but HANSON matured like a good wine and they only get better with age😍😘😘👍👍👌

[@josephinembjk]

zac...HOT!

[@robinbrl]

Zac has changed so much. I guess maybe his hair was blonde back then, I don't know. They are all still handsome.

[@ItzKweenAddie]

[@rickn4301]

Senior year of high school. Girls loved them. It's true. I remember a graduation party I attended someone had them on repeat for about an hour.

[@kimberlypiccirilli3469]

Great interview, but I am surprised they didn't mention their parents as far as how they avoided the pitfalls of fame. From when I've seen and heard, their parents were involved and around and keeping a watchful eye on them, especially when they first made it big as minors. I think this went a long way toward keeping them sane and grounded. Too many times with child stars, their parents just give up and let their managers/roadies take over raising their kids (i.e. Justin Bieber) Good for their parents for not, and continuing to live in their hometown, I think this made a big difference in how they turned out...

[@Mrpachuko13]

I'm happy for them. True brothers. True family. And still working and succeeding! Awesome. Do your thing guys. James brown never quit working a day in his life. Paid the cost to be the boss!! Plus, I really did enjoy the part where they talked about the artists they would listen to, and influenced them. Wow! Chuck berry bobby day?? Little richard!!!! Great stuff.

[@cmdrteasdale2910]

this band is unbroken, cause they are brothers X)

[@Stephanie-hv1vn]

I still love the song mmm bop! Love them
