Yahoo_HANSON: Hey guys! Let's get this thing started!

Cherry_Sakura asks: What do you prefer between the playstation and the Nintendo 64

Yahoo_HANSON: Z: That's a really hard question. You can't really beat 007 on Nintendo 64 and nintendo has some really good games

Zac__26345 asks: OK I know your cd is recorded in 1 place but is the video recorded everywhere or just the 1 place?

Yahoo_HANSON: T: If you get the video you'll see that it is shot in every different venue, so you see all the different shows.. The music

Yahoo_HANSON: on the album was all recorded in Seattle, but the video was shot throughout the tour, so you get to see all the shows

Krazy_4Nick asks: Hi! I just want to say your new CD rocks and I would like to know if there was anything about your tour you would change?

Yahoo_HANSON: T: I think there's always something, like we messed up on a song in one show where something went wrong

Yahoo_HANSON: but it's always great to go out and experience something new and just groove as musicians and do something

Yahoo_HANSON: we all really enjoy. So there's not much we would change. It was really fun for us.

MightyAphrodite_16 asks: Hey guys, I was wondering if you have a particular routine you go thru before getting onstage? Any favourite CD you listen to? A Mantra chat perhaps? (Lol)

Yahoo_HANSON: T: A group that always gets you really psyched up is Queen. It has a psyching up to it.. I: Queen was just

Tue Nov 10 17:04:59 1998

Yahoo_HANSON: a great band, so there's no set CD... if you change the set you're going to do, you just think about it and prepare

Yahoo_HANSON: for what's going to happen.

HITZWild asks: Hey guys! I loved your apperance on David Letterman last night! What made you decide to sing Gimmie Some Lovin?

Yahoo_HANSON: demoing and putting together, so we're very excited about that

TayLuva4eva asks: I have two brothers and I can't be with them 24/7. How do you manage not to kill yourselves?

Yahoo_HANSON: I: We get along for some weird reason very well. I don't know why that is.. Perhaps b/c we spent a lot of time together

Yahoo_HANSON: already, since we were home schooled... we used to practice karate on each other.. but we definitely have brotherly love

RoadtoAlbertane asks: What is Ike going to be doing for his birthday?

Yahoo_HANSON: I: This will be the first year that we'll be at home for my birthday in the last 3 yrs. I'll probably spend it with my

Yahoo_HANSON: friends doing God knows what... T: Perhaps since we'll be at home, maybe he'll get a car or something...

Hanson_tour asks: Hey! The CD and video rock. I have a question for Taylor and Isaac...why doy uo two go by your middle names rather than your first names?

ikeypoohbabe asks: I heard your song More Than Anything , i think it's very romantic. So i was wondering what inspired you guys so much to write it? The song is beautiful and romantic.

Yahoo_HANSON: I: I think it's fairly appropriate that it was written for a particular girl at the time.

StarLyte13 asks: What was your feeling, at first, about fame?

Yahoo_HANSON: T: Fame is sort of this thing that people blow into this big proportionate thing.. it really hasn't changed us as people

Yahoo_HANSON: we;re still just normal guys and any of our friends would tell you that.. the only thing is that we're

Yahoo_HANSON: able to play for more people

Mizery13 asks: Do you guyz still hang with your palz back home?

Yahoo_HANSON: or whatever...

Yahoo_HANSON: Do what everyone normally does

DaGirl4565 asks: Hello Hanson!! What's it like being in such a big family?

Yahoo_HANSON: to goof around with.. There's never a small party, we alwyas have very large parties

sofiaA_98 asks: WHAT MAKES U GUYS THE HAPPIEST?

Yahoo_HANSON: T: I don't think there's really one thing that makes me the happiest. Definitely playing music is one of those things

Yahoo_HANSON: Definitely being able to see places and travel aroudn

Yahoo_HANSON: I: I agree with Taylor on the music thing, music whether you're playing an upbeat song or a mellow song, it always seems

Yahoo_HANSON: to uplift your spirits in anyway.. and another thing would be holding hands and going out on a date with a cute girl.

Yahoo_HANSON: Z: Sleeping.

kbingle asks: Did anything on the road to inspire you to write any new songs?

Yahoo_HANSON: Z: On the road, sometimes things inspire you, but I dont think it's just being on the road, or being in a room that
