Strong Enough to Break 7

taylor is just so calm even he's mad.

[chrisnope1]

Ballard's hilarious! "I'm not saying I wanna write a tune with you, that's not what im askin" Oh really Glen? You mean like every other production you've had a hand in! Glen Ballard writes the tunes he produces. He may only get co-writing credit...but trust me he writes 'em. He's then super slick at convincing the artist that they are 1. an artist and number2. that they wrote it!! He's the ultimate mediator for label heads who only want to find the next piece of crap with a halter top on!

[mfsgoodlilslave]

@chrisnope1 and you can see in taylor's face when he says "sure" that he's not buying glen's bullsh*t any more than you are.

[carobutton]

I think this is more about a power struggle. The "big guys" weren't used to having somebody who knew exactly what they wanted for and from their own music... they weren't used to meeting true "big guys"... it makes me wonder how many more people are out there, being stuffed around and ultimately turned away, day in and day out. People who write from the heart, whose passion is to share music with the world, music that speaks for and touches the very soul.

[chrisnope1]

@carobutton It's not a pwr struggle per se. It's more about what is NOT said. Not one dude at their label has the guts to tell em the truth- "we don't want anyone with opinions or talent! We want pre-fabricated chix who we can manipulate-write tunes for and sell." Ballard's a punk, the label guy's a geek. Doesnt anyone realize music biz aint about music at ALL anymore. It's much more similar to the porn industry-except those CEO's have more education on what their consumers want.

[hansonhot]

hanson forever

[chaya113]

oh wow unbelievable how much material they had for just one album... such great talents.

[getdefined]

i hate how they do everything by phone. the record company ceos are so chicken... and nthe band was so screwed over.

[KARINAKOINAN]

de verdad Hanson i am Karina Gómez. Real Karina Gómez.

[whoahibner]

When Taylor starts to sing my own sweet time it give me the chills. I love Hanson so much. This is pure talent we're talking about!

[8sondy7]

my own sweet time! another great one that didnt make it.

[civicchic]

@8sondy7 You can get that one. The hanson site (hanson.net) has the Documentary DVD/CD set you can buy the CD has a lot of the songs that you hear on here that never made it to an album like My Own Sweet Time, Breaktown and Dream Girl :) all great songs.

[8sondy7]

@civicchic true i could!

[77Twilightluver77]

another...break..lol (strong enough to break,breaktown0

[Bassik114]

@chocolytesprynkles that would be aweosme! They could call it Hanson: Fenster's Mistakes. Haha!

[crazybitchaaos]

I love how Taylor just starts nodding and saying "sure" at 4:34 and you can see from his demeanor that he really means "you're an idiot"

[grneyedsiren11]

@crazybitchaaos i was thinking the same thing. he says it in such a patronizing way, you can't help but laugh. i can just see what he's thinking - "dude, seriously, fuck off. we're the musicians, not you" love it.

[joe21ism]

if you get the hanson doucmentary you get all the cuts from underneath with it

[chocolytesprynkles]

they should release an album with like all the rejected songs all the songs that guy didnt like. i think that would really stick it to him. and i would soo buy that album!

[kuvasz13]

Amen to that ;)

[SophiaPac]

how the hell did that "conflict avoider" make it so far in the music biz if he's so damn childish? Can you say rediculous?lol

[trationics]

a lot a artish just nod and say "yes

[bizarrenightmare8694]

John shanks seems like a total dick.. Glenn Ballard's an idiot at that

[HansonDreams]

i hate the beginng part of each of these videos when they show all the hanson stuff go up in flames because it always makes me cry. no kidding.

[trationics]

i agree and the intro is a bit too long

[mvunit3]

Never trust a wealthy big time Producer when he says (Ballard)"...its okay man, its all in due confidence", and then he continues the B.S. in the Studio and his talks with the Band... until he tattle-tales to Cohen. Doesnt matter if you have Wealth and a Resume, you can still act like a child. Where as these "young" guys have been nothing but professional and KNOW whats right for them.

Haha, these guys should be Proggers or Metal Heads :P -MAVIII(prOgulus . c O m)

[franzjiro]

broken angel at the end???..  please explain?

[MariaCG]

i think My own sweet time is an awesome song.. should have been on the album instead of dancing in the wind.

[AdGab16]

no, it would have been wasted on that album. but seriously, they need to just release an album of like "the lost songs"

[katastic4]

I think Hanson should make a CD or two... or three of all the "rejects". I know it would cost some $, but I'm sure all the true hard-core hanson fans would buy them, fuck all who thinks it shit. Hanson is Hanson, and Hanson makes music that Hanson likes. And Hanson is talented, and think that would be a great idea.

[JBtwililght]

i totally agree...

hard core fans would totally go for it... who knows maybe they would get some really good feedback

[demeola88]

Its interesting Glenn would say he didnt want things to get too deep after he makes Jaged little pill with Alanis and she goes off saying Glenn is my kindred spirit and what not.

[LovelyMemories99]

does anyone know what song is at 2:32

[Hanson97]

The song is call "My Own Sweet Time".

[fabalaloon]

Maybe they had two songs with the word "break" in them because they were telling themselves on a subconscious level that they should break from their label...

[22yearsoflife]

which video is it where Isaac screams at his guitar

[jlrhodge]

that guy (ballard) in the begining when they are talking about jeff and tay says I don't want to say to much...and ballard goes oh no man it's all...condfidential...ya...rig­ht..right there was when my trust was broken.

[zuzushii]

i never cared about Hanson before but now I love them...and I want to have all of their babies.

[HeadNtheClouds]

ha haa, too late, haa

[clairehumpge1]

best thing in this vid.....Taylor in cut off's!

[22yearsoflife]

when do u see him in cut offs?

[HansonFan7]

what i love about these guys is that when the record company tries to screw them over and turn them into what they aren't, they stand up for themselves and fight back, even though they are so young.

thank god there are some musicians who stand up for music.

[VanyJames]

@HansonFan7

That's something I love so much about the boys...They know what they want and they achieve the goal they wanted.

I'm honestly very proud of them and they show me, that it is possible to get to the point you want, if you show courage in the right moments and if you be true to yourself.

[frenchbunny]

i think taylor is passive agressive when he goes " sure, sure, sure

it's my favorite part in all of the STRONG vids

[marlijn2005]

Haha he totally is! I like the part too.

[areyoulistening97]

haha! he's so sarcastic.

[AureliaVictoria]

totally:) the "sure" thing is too cute.

[paranormalgeek]

Never mind, I have that song on my computer XD

[paranormalgeek]

What is the name of the song they're singing at 2:30 in? Don't think I've heard that one before...

[viciouspistols]

my own sweet time. i only heard it recently

[alexc6789]

why can't they just let hanson do what they want they wrote it god leave them alone its mean .X.

[eddwardoo]

does anyone know which episode shows where issac and taylor are gathering together singing/writin Penny & Me on the floor?

[22yearsoflife]

part 10 i think

[22yearsoflife]

SRY NOT PART 10 PART 8 ACTUALLY SRY

[AllimacnosnaH]

I think those shoes ROCK. They're funky.

[yesnobut]

taylor and his funny shoes

[Rauly84]

My own suit time, it is such a great song !!!

[sarahbousfield]

why do these people want hanson to be their puppets?

Cant they see that by tring to change them then their music isnt personal to them anymore?

Leave them the way they are, we love them for it!

[theangryocelot]

God these producers are such dicks...

and yeah that producer does it out of a "labor of love" but charges you $300,000 for 4 songs...douchebag.

[Nikkles83]

You just go guys! We're rooting for you!
