Have no fear, your music is being heard and loved.

zoey711 and still is💙

[@moremirinplease]

what a beautiful story. my personal best album of all time

[@starfalldarling]

I'm so glad I finally got to see this documentary. It's really opened my eyes about what this band went through to get that album out. I knew it had been a struggle, but I had no idea how much of one it had really been. Great job, guys!

[@pitaratnasari5508]

UNDERNEATH is still my most favorite album from them, now I know why, they put more than 100% of them on this album despite all the hardships they had to endure. Been here since 12yo and I am now 32, so proud of you guys!

[@charisseeugenio9649]

I'm in tears! These guys are amazing. With the grace of God they were able to do it and prove it. Thank God they didn't give up. It just takes courage and patience. It's a lesson for all of us!❤

[@debyfnb]

Underneath is by far my favourite album and now watching this I know why...they have put so much effort and love on that. What a joke when the producers thought Penny and me was not a good song 🙄😵

[@carrengraceguillena2006]

It is so unbelievable that 3 brothers (since, you know, siblings usually have issues) would go, form a band, and, decided together to make the biggest possible decision of their lives..You guys are "the legend"..keep it up..This is pure, uncorrupted, fresh talent. I JUST LOVE YOU GUYS and will support you all the way.

[@myopinion5135]

It’s 2022 and I’m so glad you did it YOUR WAY

[@AirinMu]

That's my BAND!!! Hanson!!!!! 👍👍👍 hats off!!!!

[@Your_Illusi0n]

I've been listening to Hanson since the MmmBop days, and watching this documentary made me fall in love with even more (if that's even possible). You guys are so strong and brave, and I'm so proud of you! Keep up the amazing music, guys.

[@VictoriaxxxxROCKCHICK]

IhateSubway83 Yes. Punch them tay

[@morgandeal3618]

Underneath will always be my favorite album. I'm just now seeing this documentary and am blown away. I think I've always felt the passion and fight for this album and why it's been my favorite.

[@WoahBuddyBL]

All I can say is... you guys are honestly amazing. I don't think I smiled, or cried so much in my life as I did watching this.. haha. you guys are an inspiration to so many people. from the bottom of my heart... thank you so much for being you, and never giving up.

[@queenlucy11]

LOVE 6:43 LOVE them! LOVE how they are so down to earth and stay true to who they are. SOOOO much respect for them.

[@rhymeandreasoning]

i was definitely wrong what i thought of you guys..i just watched this entire documentary on whim...you guys are amazing..i have loads of respect for you.. you guys are beyond talented and classy gentlemen..

[@bayless]

"Jeff Fenster now works at Arista" DODGED A BULLET!!! lol

[@simangst7712]

Glad they published this documentary and for being brave enough to fight for what they love. Hanson fan since '97!💚💜💙

[@Whitney_Sews]

Amazing video! I love what they went through in order to make their music, instead of just giving up or giving in.

[@s57v58]

I had not thought of HANSON since... If Only came out. Just recently a friend poked me with I Will Come to You while we were reminiscing and I started looking back to the songs, and I stumbled today upon this documentary. I have to say that I am SO proud of them, and wouldn't hesitate to see them live again, should they make a return to Monterrey, Mexico. Thank you for doing this and showing the world where real talent and dedication will get you. Thank you for not giving up.

[@VictoriaxxxxROCKCHICK]

Silvia Martínez Go hard. Or go home just do it ur way

[@BRUNABPNINHA]

I can`t explain how much you guys mean to me. You did change my life! You're great persons! I'm so proud to be your fan! You've been example for all of us of strenght, determination, friendship, family...so many things! There's no one in all world who can make us feel like we feel when we listening your songs! It's like... a cure for depression! Like I said... it's impossible to explain! All I know is I'll follow your lead forever! I love you!

[@jeremydragon-shapeshifter]

It would be so nice if maybe someday, since they demoed 80 songs for the album, they could put out a box set of those 80 demo songs. That be worth the money to buy and listen to, given how they worked really hard on those songs. Plus, I hope that Underneath will eventually get certified Gold or Platinum because it truly deserves those!

[@maisiellis]

This makes me incredibly happy. So uplifting and inspiring after years of rejection. I'd have cracked but the guys just kept fighting 🙌

[@juliemarion8677]

Hanson for life💙 Thanku you guys for everything you are and do

[@valpal09]

This is why I love Hanson!!!

[@litehold1144]

Thank goodness they had the guts to do it. Just hard to believe how corrupt radio and the corporate music business is, but, we are seeing the results and it's sickening. If it was older times, without the stranglehold that these corrupt big music corporations have on everything, these guys would be the biggest band out there, no question. I'm just glad that they were making music throughout those years that they were being squashed, because it's still there, they've got "it" and always will.

[@RedMoonlight26]

Re-watching this today, MARCH 26, 2022! No, I'm not crying... You are crying! *sniffs* 😢😭❤💚💙

[@kaistockman6443]

Strong Enough to Break is probably my favorite song!..or maybe Lost Without Each Other or Tragic Symphony. 😜

[@luisianna82]

HANSON YOU ARE REAL ARTTIST! NEVER GIVE UP! HERE WE ARE YOUR FANS TO SUPPORT YOUR MUSIC! THAT IS REAL MUSIC.

[@AerialJules]

"Do you keep asking the bully to beat you up? No you punch him back. You punch it back." Haha, that bit cracked me up for some reason.

[@hollyness2]

:-D I have to tell you that I was 11 when I became a fan of Hanson and I'm still one at I'm 23. You guys will always be in my heart and I'm so glad you pushed through and made Underneath!! I love you guys. You'll always have a fan in me!

[@SurahOnline]

I'm SO proud of them! 😘❤️

[@thuaners]

that was amazing. so brave what u guys did and decide to go independent! I saw Hanson perform in melbourne last weekend and they were amazing!! love this band and the music! and their loyal fans! :D

[@janetmcbee]

Hi, New subscriber here. You are all so awesome. I've listened to some of your songs. This just really hits me deep!. ♡have a good one!♡

[@TheWaterfall7]

wow that was so inspiring! I've always loved what you are doing, your music is so full of pure energy and spirit. I knew it from the very begining just when I first saw the mmmbop video you are unique, not just like the other bands around theres something special in you guys, congrats, you've done a great job!

[@XViolinbeautyX]

The ending was perfect. It made me all teary eye'd.

[@janetokareva]

They were on MTV till 2001. The last clip i saw on MTV was '' This Time Around'', on the 1 place, as usually. When i saw this film - understood everything and was very sad. They deserve more better attention and respect, as for me. Many people, who laughed on me, saying now, that Hanson - cool...

[@janetokareva]

Hi! My name is Jane. I''m from Ukraine:) I began to listen these amazing guys, when i was 17, in 1997. Now i''m 30 and never stop to listen them:). In 1997 they were very popular and i was very happy... Good for you and RESPECT!

[@vimaro22]

Oh I completely agree. My sister's been a fan since '97, but she's seven years older than me. Then when I was around eleven or so, I heard "If Only," and even though I'd never given Hanson a second thought before, I fell in love with that song. I sort of forgot about them, though. Then I heard "Underneath" off Underneath. And they've had me ever since. These guys are brilliant musicians. I saw them for the first time in April, and their concert was the best I've ever been to!

[@luckydimecaper]

SO proud of these guys :)

[@sharimoore9210]

WOW 👏 I have so much more love and respect for you guys. Please don't stop making awesome music. ❤🧡💛

[@ishWeasley]

OMG Ike saying hes the pessimist, Taylor is the optimist and Zac is the realist 🤣 it was obvious throughout the whole time and I just realized it when he said it!

[@janetokareva]

At first sight i felt in love with you guys, not only for your amazing beauty, but for your talant, smart, pure souls and hearts. Respect, admire, love for YOU:) HANSON-THE BEST!

[@Bundles02]

I love you Hanson!! It has been such an honor and a privilege to have grown up with your music. I loved your music the first time I heard it when I was 13, I love it now at 24. Good job you guys. Your are truly amazing!!

[@aarthidding]

Thank you SOoOoO much for pushing through all the cr@p and continuing to follow your passion!! Will love your music for life!! Over 16 years a fan, and counting!

[@carolinamendonca9293]

Wow! This documentary is very cool. I had no idea how laborious it was to record and release an album. And I knew even less about the pressure that record labels make on artists. I think you've grown a lot musically, and I particularly prefer the post middle of nowhere songs. And surely your music will reach several generations. Thank you for your work. These are songs that make me very happy and make my life lighter. Thank you!

[@hanibeth]

It makes me cry every time that i see this! 😭 but I'm so proud of you guys, for always going with your guts!! I'm fan of the best band of the world! Love u guys! 😩❤️🤘🏼

[@mao431]

Nous sommes en 2017, et à chaque fois que je visionne ces 13 épisodes, je finis en larmes. Mon dieu, quel courage, que des bosseurs vous êtes. Arriver à un tel niveau en ayant tout à porter soi-même, ça force le respect. Je regrette d'habiter de l'autre côté de l'océan et de pas pouvoir vous apporter le soutien, à votre juste valeur. Vous êtes incroyables et ça les fans le ressentent. J'imagine que vos parents, vous ont soutenu dans ces décisions, ainsi que votre entourage (épouse pour Taylor), pour pouvoir porter ça sur vos jeunes épaules. Le résultat en valait la peine. Vous êtes des artistes plus que complets, tellement talentueux? , des musiciens hors pair et votre musique est juste incroyable. Après toutes ces années, je ne me lasse d'aucunes de vos chansons. Et bcp de gens passent à côté de votre talent , tant pis pour eux et tant mieux pour nous. Merci pour votre tournée mondiale, qui fût grandiose, majestueuse....... Vous dégagez une telle énergie pffff 👍👊🎶

[@misstash2011]

I had watched this documentary years ago and after seeing hanson on their world tour again recently I wanted to see this again. Omg they are so inspiring, showing if u believe in yourself and fight for what you want in life you can succeed. Hanson will always be my favourite band not just for the music but for the inspiring, down to earth people.

[@lisashmo]

i love this band so much.

[@Stephanie128]

Hanson =beautiful, amazing, awesome music! God bless you always!

[@bonsview2502]

Amazing how God was so present in all of it. The struggle was real and I felt it watching this documentary. I've loved your music for so many years and I look forward to many more years of it. Godspeed Hanson.

[@lovemoney335]

Hanson are such an inspiration. Im 14 and first saw them on TOTP a few months ago and now im obsessed with them and am trying to catch with the years i missed out on. They are what real musicians should be and i have nothing else to say other than they are made out of sheer awesomeness and that they should never EVER stop making music.

[@MelissaLovesMakeup89]

I'm just so proud of everything they've achieved since starting their own label. Really inspiring to anyone, in the music business or otherwise. Doesn't matter how old you are, you can take charge of what you want in your career/life and work hard at it until you see great results.

[@frog780913]

that was such a good docu. I think every band that wants to consider signing with a major record label deffinatly needs to watch this film.

[@smp6185]

My love and respect has regrown and intensified for these three beyond talented men. I have been a hanson fan since 97 and i am so damn proud to say that i am still a fan.

[@michstew]

Excellent documentary...so impressed with your courage and so thankful you keep making brilliant authentic music!

[@sgusman1]

it's a shame these big record labels seem so afraid of REAL music. don't you think a good record label would be one that started a new trend especially if that trend is real, great music. it truly pisses me off that people seem so scared of hanson simply because their music isn't like anyone elses. to me, that's what real music is. i just hope jeff finster is kicking himself in the balls right now : ) to hanson: i'm SO proud of you guys! you are a phenomenal band and only get better!

[@mercuryfever392]

Well, here's the thing. The music industry is a business. Everyone in the business wants things to be a sure thing. Otherwise they lose money. The problem is now because of that, you get stuck in situations like this. It's basically payola all over again. Money talks. If you're a radio station, which artist are you going to play? The one whose label will give you $100,000 to play their music or a band who is independent? It's a huge risk. Nobody wants to take that risk. Radio stations are trying to keep their repour going with the major labels.

[@Thytos]

Actually I haven't even heard anything about you before. But now after watching all 13 videos of this documentary I became some kind of fan... ^^ This documentary is really great! I haven't known that these huge major-labels were actually that brutal. It really gave me insights into music business! And if I had just been listening to your music I probably would have thought you're yet another pop-rock boyband. But by watching this docu I realized that you're three remarkable musicians! :)

[@janetokareva]

Hanson - true musicians, who know, how to write, sing, play great music. I''m meloman, know many groups, but these guys my favourite:). In the end off 90''s they were very popular - all around the WORLD! When i saw them - i was impressed. Not only for beauty, but for great talents...

[@iluvrpattz]

I did one of my high school essasys on this documentary. was the BEST thing i have ever written in my life. My teacher loved it.

[@LadyTiadalma]

Since 1996, I have followed Hanson's career. They are amazing people who make amazing music, and they are well grounded and completely realistic people. As long as they make music, I will be buying it. I've been a fan since MmmBop, and I will remain steadfast and true in my love for their music. They are at the top of my list, and I don't think that'll be changing anytime soon. You really can't ask for more than what they give... HANSON RULZ!

[@JoGemma]

pessimist, optimist and realist...now it's clear why they are so great band! Thx Ike for an explanation!

[@soundfallen]

I think i've cried about 4 times in every clip of this documentary. I hope one day I get to write music with these guys.

[@camyjenkins]

glad they didn't sign with arista records

[@yamalover]

Always love u and ur music :) and THANK YOU for coming to Thailand I miss u guys so much

[@wedzskull]

hey guys,wedix is finally here...hanson,this band reminds me of my teen days,the mmmbop and 8s video really takes a deep feelng of happiness...and so penny and me.u kno what guys, jz continue doing real music coz ur real music meks u great...

[@kimana83]

I've been a Hanson fan since May of '97, but I'm ashamed to say that this is the first time I've watched SETB in its entirety. Wow. The CRAP that they had to put up with is INSANE. I'm so glad they had the guts to keep going and to punch the bully right back. Man. Keep it up, guys! The world will one day realize how amazing you are again, and even if they don't, your fans always will. God bless!

[@BonScurvy]

Ike: "Do you keep asking the bully to beat you up?" Tay: "No, you punch him back!" Too frickin' right!

[@VictoriaxxxxROCKCHICK]

Kelly O lol

[@bigballofyarn]

This is the first time I've had the courage to watch this documentary. I wrote to each of you individually a few weeks ago and now having heard back from one of you, this documentary hits me personally. I felt as if I took every bullet right there with you. You are the three most talented musicians I have ever heard, and no matter what happens, or what road you choose to take, I will always believe in you and will always support you. Best wishes.

[@maisiellis]

Christina how did you write to them? ❤

[@sonialopes4522]

Christina

[@teevee512]

I love Hanson, and always will!!!!!!!!!! The end of this documentary always gives me shivers. They prove that you can live your dreams and not take crap from anyone! Hanson will always be one of my favorite bands :)

[@shygirl1003]

Wow, Zac with his shirt off is freaking amazing. God he's gorgeous!

[@knjprincess]

taylor you dont know what to say, well i do! You have amazing fans and we believe in you! it saddens me that you guys even doubted yourselfs at one point because we will be behinde you every step! you have amazing supportive fans that love you guys dearly never forget it & look at you now still doing better then ever and still so humble & down to earth! i have so much respect for you Issac, Taylor and Zac amazing artists and amazing men. I was a fan since i was 4 and dont plan on going anywere

[@ElizabethMarieScreamer]

A lot of people in the music industry only care about money... they just want to make it big. And a lot will try to take advantage of you. I've seen it happen to many of my friends. You have to be so careful who you partner up with. I hope things are going better for you guys.

[@westende100]

so lucky you go your own way, that 's the right one. Keep on!

[@ybm3477]

OMG I was suffering during this documental!! I love you guys so much, I am so proud of you and every song is a Masterpiece!! Feel proud of yourself ❤️

[@Precious16]

i've been a fan since 1997....so pround of you guys...

[@kayejaye21]

i just watched the whole episode of STRONG ENOUGH TO BREAK.. have admired how these brothers got through all of the struggles of handling their band independently.. i'm so proud that i'm still and forever will be a HANSON FAN! i didn't find the chance to see them perform live in my homecountry,but i hope i still would get a chance to meet you guys in the future! Godbless you guys! oh by the way.been in love with TAYLOR since i was 13,until now..i'm all grown up,i'm still in love with him!!

[@maximilliaosboine9242]

So unbelievably proud of everything they've accomplished, this is a shining example

[@23lisan]

I was one of those obsessed crazy 12 year old girls when Hanson first came out. Even though I've grown up, I still have every ablum and will continue to purchase anything they release. As they grew up, so did their fans. As their music matured, so did their fans. I'm so glad they went independent and did what is right for them. As long as they continue to make music I'll continue to buy it and support them. I'll continue being proud of my love of their music, and driving my husband nuts with it!

[@unknonymoose1933]

Same here..just now. but it's worth it..after waiting for them for so long, they're back stronger than ever.. ^_^

[@redraiderash]

The sad thing is that the music industry is slowly killing extremely talented musicians who are stiving to evolve their music in almost every genre. For example take Thrice (who removed themselves from Island) and Thursday (Island Records as well). Both these bands are extremely fan-based with a huge cult following in the indie scene, and very talented but because they weren't producing sell-out radio rock, Island wanted to drop them.

[@brokenangel789]

ughhh this is so frustrating! it doesn't seem fair that even the radios are somewhat controlled by the record labels!

[@mercuryfever392]

It's payolla all the time now except people aren't doing it in back alleyways anymore. That's why companies take advantage of new artists being so green and not at all business savvy. You have these young people especially that have no idea what they are walking into.

[@archinaguipuggy1127]

i just spent a lot of time watching this doc, repeting some sequences multiple times and translating some words until I understood everything (I'm french), but it was definitely worth the time ! WOW ! such interesting (the most interresting and revealing doc about the process of making an album I've seen), touching and inspiring. much respect to these guys, continue the good work (I just discovered it recently and like it a lot), wish them the best for the future.

[@rockonmuse]

+Archinaguipuggy 1 same! (i'm italian)

[@brandymichele02]

I seriously had no idea that you guys went through this...while watching I was about to scream! So frustrating...I cant believe they would do that to you. I'm still and always will be a huge fan of yours. Look forward to going to another concert in the future (I hope!) Sending much love and best wishes from a fellow Okie (in Tahlequah!) -Brandy

[@blarmy827]

Wow, talk about the ultimate “🖕told you so,” to Jeff was their success… number 1 independent album, debuted at 25 and penny and me hitting number 2 seriously is so satisfy to see. Ugh wish there were more docuseries with Hanson… this was amazing

[@CatherineNoName]

they are such an inspiration to me... in all the ways possible

[@dilee24]

I'm sure there are much more than 77K, I am an example of it. I am not registered in Myspace as a fan neither any web page, But I'm a fan since 1997!!! And very proud of it!!

[@FiorellaCalderonCardenas]

Wow, que fuerte lo que tuvieron que pasar. Me encanto el documental, que bueno que nos los acabo emocionalmente del todo y tuvieron fuerzas para seguir adelante

[@YooMajja]

Guys, THANK YOU SO VERY MUTCH !. Thats all I can sa to discrib this ,:) , I was 7 , I think when I heard mmmbop for the first time, and I have loved you guys from the very first begining . I hope you guys will always be there for your fans, cause , I think I speak for everyone when I say that we will always be there for you . :) , Thanks .

[@gobrokenangel]

u guys are so strong!!!! never give up please...your music is spectacular and that's all that matters... love uu ♥♥♥

[@maddjackk1]

WOW what an unbelievable story..Totally pulled at the heart strings. I am only just rediscovering how truley talanted these guys are. Thank goodness they stuck to their guns and stayed true to themselves. There is no question the amount of amazing creativity they have. UNBELEVIABLE!!!! I'm so glad they have came out on top, making phoenomal music and they did it all by themselves.. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

[@acalm1234]

Chorei de emoção também no final! Valeu todo esforço deles. Amo d+ músicas do hanson. Ótimo trabalho!! Vivaaaa Hanson!!!!

[@nathan6t9r]

That was by far one of the best documentaries I've ever seen well done guys

[@Whitney_Sews]

There are so many more Hanson fans then that. I like dilee24 am not a myspace Hanson fan, but I went to their concert last Saturday and loved every second of it...espially meeting them! I've only been a Hanson fan for about 5 months, but that doesn't make me any less of a fan then those of you who have been there since '97.

[@krgreen719]

Not that everyone isn't entitled to their fair share of frustration, but now having watched the documentary, it's pretty humbling to think back on some of the whining we did as fans over the lack of new material from the band during this period. Yes, those of us who investigated the issue read/heard snippets of information regarding the creative clash with the label post-merger, but even then I doubt we fully grasped the magnitude of it. Good Lord, if only we'd known...

[@judycaneline]

I was one of those 37,500 units. I got that album as soon as I could.

[@headrushindi]

There we have it , another prime example of Non creative, unenlightened, studio execs, so savvy with the proper protocols of the music industry, yet at the same time so disconnected from anything remotely creative .The same story that so many artists went through from Queen to Kiss to so many more.. When will these bonehead , unenlightened record exec nerds get out the way , and trust the genius of the creative artists? ! You go Hanson ...you are winners of the highest degree. You believed in the face of the ignorant, and showed them who is really in charge .

[@carlystur]

Strong Enough to Break #4 is when that happened. :D I wrote it down in a notebook where my favorite parts were in the whole Documentary.

[@ILoveChrisChambers]

Wow, watching this made me love them even more

[@VanyLovesMusic86]

@hoosiergirl008 I soooo agree with you. I became Hanson- Fan in the age of 11. Now I'm 24 years old...And I just came back to them a few weeks ago. Honestly....Suddenly, I coulnd't stand all this 'machine-pop-sound' anymore and I've remembered the bands, which impressed me with they're talent of making music and writting their own songs.... And here I am again....Back on the music of one of my first musically love....Hanson. I'm so proud of them I can't tell ya how much

[@TS-hu9lq]

Good for them! they are talented and deserve so much success.
