It was about halfway through the walk and he had been bombarded with people the whole walk. But he was courteous and smiled and let me get a picture. The other guys were great too. All in all I did four walks, and been to fifteen showns from `98 on,and in general they were great. It's sad to think they could be as rude a some say...but hey we're all only human.

When was his opinion valid and relevant? Never. I'm sure HE was the one who phoned the radio station himself because he needed to extend his 15 minutes while tickets to his bands' concerts were still on sale (and not sold out). <br /><br />I was also a hardcore Hanson fan "back in the day" and was too young and naive to realize that they consistently snubbed us whenever we would so much as ask for a HUG, let alone a photo. <br /><br />Shitty management and an incompetent PR team lead Hanson to be obsolete. Sure, their "creative differences" with Island Records had a lot to do with it, but I highly doubt that they deliberately left the label to become independent. No band wants to be indie unless they have always been unsigned and profiting off of it. Now, all of a sudden, they think just because they're indie that it makes them credible in the music industry? <br /><br />You know if they had the chance to be signed again they would. Times are different. You can negotiate contracts so your integrity is still intact. <br /><br />Instead, Hanson tours all year 'round and performs on Dancing with the Stars as the house band while contestants do the foxtrot. <br /><br />Way to go, guys!

I remember waiting outside their hotel one time and having them walk RIGHT past me & being SOOOO pissed. Than I think to myself... wow. I sat outside their hotel for hours... how lame was i?? hahaha<br /><br />I get that they didnt take pics back in the day. Im sure justin bieber cant take pictures w EVERY fan right now :) They arnt THAT bad with fans. they take pictures with fans. talk to them. whatever. They cant do it every time. they are human, we all have our moments & moods. That being said, its so fucking FAKE. thats what upsets me at this point.<br /><br />These days, I am friends with a ton of their friends out here. I see them out & about A LOT. if i had never mentioned how much I loved their music, we would prolly be good friends at this point. but the fact that i am not a liar & cant be fake.... Taylor treats me SO different. I actually got in a bit of a fight with him at a bar bc of it once ha he actually told me that people that are "so close to the music" he has to keep "an arms length away" WTF??! than a few days later, at their after party (that was me, and like 10 friends & thats IT) i had a discussion with isaac about how Taylor acted. He tried explain it away that its because of the way fame works when ur young. its hard to change the way u act when u dealt w extreme fame at that age. i get it. but still. give me a fucking break. they arent HUGE anymore. They dont need to act like that.<br /><br />Taylor actually apologized to me after (since i was hanging with his friends including michelle branch & some guys from toms shoes ha) but i dont buy it.<br /><br />Isaac is fine in my book. Had some good times hanging with him. Dont think he needed to say what he did, but i dont think he's a total hypocrite. Its taylor that should be called out.... sometimes. Zac is just too busy playing video games to even factor into the equation haha<br /><br /><br />that being said, i cant wait to see them this weekend :::sigh:::Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211259554873239246.post-90421206524769708982011-09-02T22:56:00.214-04:002011-09-02T22:56:00.214-04:00I'm a big fan of Hanson, mainly because they o...I'm a big fan of Hanson, mainly because they own their own label and recording studios and write and produce their own stuff. I've met them several times-they were all very nice to everyone. So were their wives. But I don't think anybody really gives a f*** about what Isaac personally thinks about Kings of Leon canceling their tour. I wonder why that whole interview was released to the press anyway? Most times constructive criticism isn't worth s*** its just dirty laundry that everybody goes like, who cares? If Kings of Leon go back on tour its not because genius Isaac Hanson had a great idea or anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211259554873239246.post-65164941377568282011-09-02T22:23:36.150-04:002011-09-02T22:23:36.150-04:00@ Mrs. Taylor Hanson

There was a time when I actually got close enough to Taylor to talk to him(since everyone hogs his time and it's difficult -- Most of the fans don't even care about the whole "charity" part of it..they're just doing it as an excuse to be close to Hanson). I said to Taylor "Can we take a picture real fast?" Taylor was like "Ok, but I'm gonna pretend I don't notice" and in the pic he's looking off to the side and not even smiling. Why couldn't he just take the fucking picture?! We were right there walking and my friend had the camera. It would have taken a second to just smile!!! That's all he had to do! I'm a fucking fan...I know we're on a 'charity walk' but I spend so much time seeing their concerts and buying their music. The least u can do is smile for a fucking photo!

They NEVER once considered themselves of Michael Jackson level. No one will ever reach his level. But I have met Hanson on numerous occasions and none of them were ever pricks. Isaac has ALWAYS been a SWEETHEART to me and my friends. Zac may be moody at times but majority of the time it's fan provoked. Taylor has also been very nice. But EVERYONE is entitled to having bad days including them. They do ALOT to please their fans; they put up with the bitchy ones, they let us chose setlists and cover songs, they do 1-2 mile walks with us for 3 1/2 years, so much of what they do is to keep the fans happy. No other band personally sends private messages back to fans on their website or takes the minute to make sure your picture with them comes out perfect. Hanson treats us with respect even when some don't deserve it. Isaac kicked a man out of a show for shoving some young ladies, even tho those girls were being obnoxious, he defended their honor. So there is no way they are hypocritesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211259554873239246.post-81830040501608488642011-09-02T03:03:07.324-04:002011-09-02T03:03:07.324-04:00I've been a Hanson fan since 1997 as well.

I consider myself as a really big fan, cause not like many others, I've never lost interest in the band, I've never stoped believing in them even through the years when no one heard about them.. It sad to hear that some of the experiences of people who've met them are not that good.. but I've met them twich (in 2005 and 2011) and they were nice enough!! though it can be that they made fun of me/us afterward since we were really annoying and over-excited but they were polite and friendly to all of us. and so maybe Sophia can ask herself what did she or the fans around them at that time really Do to make them act like that... I really think that in most cases they are kind , nice and friendly and they appriciate their fans alot, obviously there are more evidence for that side of them than the other and not only do to fans "experiencess of meeting them" stories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211259554873239246.post-74615518204928703322011-09-01T23:49:31.137-04:002011-09-01T23:49:31.137-04:00@Michelle: The purpose of the walk is to bring awa...@Michelle: The purpose of the walk is to bring awareness to Hanson's cause, not for a chance to talk to them/get a picture.

As a disclaimer, I still buy their music and go to their shows when they are in town. I don't respect them as people like I did in 1997 though.<br /><br />I had a similar experience a few years ago with Hanson. Though I have met them on several occasions, and a few times they have agreed to autographs and photos and were generally polite, I have had experiences where they blew off fans or were downright rude. For example, though I was backstage at a concert because of a connection at the venue, I spent most of my time talking to one of the guys from the opening band even though I was really there to see Hanson. All three brothers never bothered to make any attempt to greet any people backstage who weren’t part of their posse or family. They made every attempt to basically blatantly ignore us. At one point, Isaac even asked why we were there and who we were there with. We weren’t loud, drinking, or really in the way at all. I can’t figure out why he would even care that we were in common backstage area, not a personal dressing room. His actions really showed me how important he really thought he was.<br /><br />Either way, I don’t really think that Isaac has any grounds to call out a member of another band. Right now Hanson probably wishes they were playing the shows that KOL are playing. I am still a fan of Hanson’s music, but my experiences with them really tainted my view of them as people. Yes they do charity work for whatever reason (and the fans comically jump on board to support causes they wouldn’t have cared about except that “Tay” does…), and I commend them for helping out and making people aware of world issues. Maybe their motivation is more that they need to cleanse their soul of the guilt of judging others and treating fans like they are beneath the members of the band.Kellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211259554873239246.post-46294071728579679102011-09-01T22:26:58.953-04:002011-09-01T22:26:58.953-04:00Back during the MON days, Zac, Taylor, and Ike wer...Back during the MON days, Zac, Taylor, and Ike were all kids who were wildly popular. I doubt they were the ones calling the shots. The fact that they were not taking pics really doesn't surprise me or offend me. They were babies. Lol. I have only heard a few bab experiences with meeting them. However, I have heard a ton of great comments about them. Being that they are not as popular as during MON, I feel they probably appreciate their fans more, thus the more recent gushing comments. In almost every interview I have seen, they always say how lucky they are to be able to make money doing what they love. I think that was the basis for Ike's comment about KOL. He DID play the rest of a show in spite of excrutiating pain which resulted in emergency surgery. I think Ike's point was that KOL is pretty popular and their career depends on the dedication of their fans. Walking out mid-show and cancelling shows has a direct negative effect with their fans. I like KOL. I LOVE HANSON. I Love the MUSIC.
