Honestly, where did those guys go?

they became a.r.e. weapons

haha!

Puberty.

Read somewhere that they're coming back.
It's gonna hurt.
Hanson, with a capital HANSON.
Honour the prepubescent schlock.
(Except for that X-mas album, which really captured the spirit of the season)

They grew up, got married, had babies etc. etc. etc.

Which is a shame, because they were the rockist bubblegum I was always looking for...

Where is the love, etc.?

Hmm, I'm pretty sure Hanson are still going.
I remember a Norwegian popband called M2M were going to tour America as support for Hanson, but that's a few years ago already.
They released an album in 2000, but I have no idea what they're up to nowadays.

I'm assuming they're just being a "normal" band now and generally being kids grownig up, going to school, occasionally being punched in the face by people who still have "Mmmbop" stuck in their heads...

― Øystein Holm-Olsen (Øystein H-O), Friday, 9 May 2003 08:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

M2M were obviously the best band ever. "You start kissing me/ What's that all about?"

They grew up, lost the teeth braces, discovered sex, chopped off the bad hair and became Blink 182 didn't they?

― russ t, Friday, 9 May 2003 10:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

their voices changed!

That kid is probably a good drummer by now...

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 9 May 2003 10:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

That kid is probably *legal* by now, and therefore hot. Mmmmmm.

Mr. Noodles to thread!

― kate, Friday, 9 May 2003 10:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hanson.net! Apparently the drummer is 17, so you don't have very long to wait. And they look all tough now. (There's an Ask Hanson section!)

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 9 May 2003 11:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

which one did you fancy when you thought they were all girls?

― DV (dirtyvicar), Friday, 9 May 2003 11:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

Middle one. I fancied the middle one when I knew they were boys too.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 9 May 2003 11:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

I seem to remember one of them was in a film or something, too, directed by someone a bit leftfield - maybe Larry Clarke (who'd have had them in white underpants with needles hanging from every vein) or Gus van Sandt (who'd have just had them in white underpants).....

....and maybe one was in a Calvin Klein ad or something....?

ps.... I agree, Nick. Sweet.

― russ t, Friday, 9 May 2003 11:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

I knew I wasn't alone.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 9 May 2003 11:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

they're still releasing wolf eyes records.

The proximity of my name to Kate's lusting has me worried.

I’m just glad no one here has seen my high school id where I look like the long lost Hanson.

recycled for spare parts.
Where do you think the newest iteration of Justin Timberlake was constructed from. (The previous model had a serious mobo failure and needed to be replaced.)

No shit.

― jm (jtm), Friday, 9 May 2003 14:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

Some of this stuff said here so far got me kinda excited. I went to the Hanson site to check out their new photos, and in one of them the youngest one is wearing a t-shirt that at first glance I thought said 'I love boys'. That would have been punk... in at least a couple ways. I think the oldest one is the cutest now.

― Sean (Sean), Friday, 9 May 2003 14:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

I know that Taylor got married and six months later him and his 18 year old wife had a baby HMMMMMMM.

― Eve, Friday, 9 May 2003 15:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

....married at 18? Should be a law against it.....

I tracked this down:

they were so cute as kids.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

That is the best fucking logo ever. Forget what I said about great bands not needing stupid gimmicks like logos. Hanson is a great band *because* of their logo.. I mean it!

correction, ALMOST no one.

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 9 May 2003 21:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

Dude, that one Hanson kid is totally hot now. I told everyone what happened to Hanson, like, 3 months ago, what the hell?

― Ally (mlescaut), Saturday, 10 May 2003 00:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

They became Icy Hot Stuntaz!

― Andrzej B. (Andrzej B.), Sunday, 11 May 2003 04:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

I thought they secretly became Insane Clown Posse.
You have to apply the Clark Kent rule:
Have you ever see both Hansen and ICP in the same place at the same time? No? Well, this gives credence to my madcap theory.

two years pass...

I haven't thought about Hanson in years. Now that Kate is relusting after DDBs I'm reminded of my secret horrible Hanson past.

― Rufus 3000 (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 16:56 (eighteen years ago) link

What, you were in the band?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 16:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Kate is lusting after DDB? WATCH OUT BROSEPH!
