New Kids On The Block - Reunion

Following months of speculation surrounding a rumored Spice Girls-esque reunion tour, '80s boy band New Kids On The Block has released its first group photo in 15 years, exclusively on Yahoo!:

Joey McIntyre, Jonathan Knight, Donnie Wahlberg, Jordan Knight, and Danny Wood disbanded New Kids On The Block in 1994, and have since experienced varying degrees of success in film, music, and reality TV. Until this week, they have coyly denied that an NKOTB reunion was definitely in the works.

Although no longer "kids," per se (the youngest member, McIntyre, is now 35), they are expected to make their official New Kids reunion tour announcement this Friday, April 4, on NBC's The Today Show.

OH I am so there! (if it's a world tour).

NKOTB bring back so many memories for me

Danny kinda looks the same

 

[cestmagique]

Am I crazy or is Jonathan kinda dishy?

 

[Street_a_Licious]

dishy? and i'm disappointed that barely anyone checks this out. there's gotta be loads of NKOTB fans here no?

I was a tweeny i was NKOTB fanatic, I was officially in love with Joe, You could not see the walls in my room with so many posters, they are fond memory but I do not want to see them again, you can only be 12 once.

There are a lot of younger members here, maybe we need to be ancient to remember this band.

step by step uuuuuh babeeeee bring it on!

 

[cestmagique]

dishy?

Yeah, like attractive.

 

[fairy]

ur def crazy

Joey was and still is what i would call...the 'best' looking out of the 5...which isnt too hard IMO

 

[cestmagique]

^Nooo, he looks so sleazy! But yeah, he was the 'hot' one.

 

[fairy]

he was even hot in the comic series oh i was way too young then...but i still have a NKOTB vinyl at home

It had nothing to do with the music I listen to now, but yes, I was a fan as a kid. I still remember the first time I heard them. My godmother had a video store for awhile that had a New Kids concert video that I could have gotten when the store was closing but they didn't find it and I was really disappointed.

i believe a lot of members on this forum are at least over 20. at such an age, NKOTB gotta be known, no?

although, i asked some younger friends of mine (2 years my junior) if they knew Step By Step and was sorely disappointed that they didn't.

STEP ONE! We can have lots of fun! (that line always cracks me up, cause it's sung so deep!)

 

[cestmagique]

he was even hot in the comic series

OMG you've killed me!

They have to be closer to 30 I guess. NKOTB started in the end of the 80s.
Someone that will be 23 this year for example has to be born in 1985, they were very small children when NKOTB were singing "The right stuff".

Quite a few members on this forum I think are between 15-20 so they wouldn't know them.

But someone who is 23 (like myself) could know them. My older sisters and cousins were OBSESSED so I pretty much grew up with NKOTB from an early age.

I used to think Jordan was the best.

 

[fairy]

well im 22 soon and i knew them and listened to them as a kid...AND watched the comic series every day

Well you have a pretty good explanation why they mean something to you.
I'm not saying people did not heard of them, but their fanbase were screaming teenagers, the girls that went to the concert bought the shirt and waited outside the hotel, the persons most likely to be interested in this news are by now this women are well in their 30s.

They are celebrating the 20th year of Hanging Tough, that's the age of a lot of people in here.
