What really appalls me is that for all the record label's comments that "there wasn't a single," they HAD a single, and Fenster wouldn't let them record it! It should have been obvious to everyone that "Penny and Me" was the single. You can't hear that song and not know that. It really just was Fenster being a d-bag and standing in their way just because he could.
I love the song Penny & Me and I'm so proud of what they did because that company was definitely holding them back...14 years and i still to this day LOVE Hanson :D
I started crying when Taylor said, "That's it. We're off Island/Def Jam" and cried till the end. I will never stop being proud of them for choosing to do what they wanted because it was right instead of doing what some suit who had no ear for music told them to do.
i got chills when Tay started singing penny and me after Zac said "it made sense to record a song outside of the hell we've been living in." then Ike starts explaining how it should feel like... got chills.
OMG. i started tearing up when Tay started singing "Penny & Me"...i felt like i walked the journey with them & FINALLY felt liberated. Thanks guys for your endurance & perseverance through the hell. I've always wanted this song for my wedding soundtrack...when i'd finally fall in love & be liberated from the hell of being single for years now. lol
when tay signed that paper and was like "thats it we're done with island/def jam." i actually started to cry.. i love this record..been following you since the beginning i'm glad you guys have the strength to fight believe and do whats right <3
Well done guys. Totally awesome record was made. Dunno what those morons were thinking but it wasnt about you guys or what the fans wanted. Only you all know your fans
I absolutely love Taylor's face after he signs off the label... you can see the 40 ton brick disolve off his shoulders at that moment... amazing. Love HANSON!!! Best move they could had ever made!
Nah I like zac's long hair for one. For 2 omg I remember when I heard Penny and Me on the radio here....I was like freaking out and turned it all the way up.
oh man, this brings back so many memories! i cant believes its been already 5 years since underneath came out. what a great record! so many amazing songs, i cant see what the hell island/def jam were thinking! thank goodness they got out of there, and now we have the amazing record the walk and standup standup to look forward to! Hanson is amazing!
I really love the fact that Hanson decided not only to record Penny & Me after leaving IDJ, but they also decided to release it as their first single. What a blow to IDJ! Fantastic(:
I never thought you can do this to a record company...seriously I was signed to an indie label 4 yrs ago and they controled our band like we were puppets, never liked it and even made music we didn't really like so we paniced and quit the band because of it...Kudos to hanson tho on putting their foot down.
this is just jeff fenster being a douche bag HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! that has got to be the greatest quote ever. someone should make a t-shirt sayin that and said it to jeff fenster hhaa!!
I would like to take this oppertunity and thank Nicole, Natalie and Kate Hanson for supporting your husbands of Hanson (te best band eva) during this rough experiance.
This is great! I feel so bad for the guys and Def Jam is a label that doesn't have it's head screwed on straight. I agree with what the attourney said. Jeff Fenster is a douche bag. Heehee.
Like I said before, you won't find even one rapper at Def Jam with enough musical talent to wipe dog poo off the shoes of Hanson. I bet if any of these great songs had a beat box or sample or some illiterate rapper saying yeeaaah on it Lyor Cohen & everybody else at Island Def Jam would have signed off on the album and thought it was great. Those J-off execs don't know good music, all they know is how to get rich off other people's talent.
Penny and Me became a very emotional song after seeing the docu.
