New Kids (and Same Old Groupies) on the Block

The New Kids on the Block went to a Burbank Best Buy last night -- and not to work the late shift.

The boys from Beantown still managed to pull a big crowd, despite not having a Top 10 single since 1990.

17. Window 3.1 all over again it like trying to get it to run on a new PC. There goes their estrogen levels of those girls at that store. Isn't ironic back in the late 80's early 90's that we were in a resesson when these guys came out and now we are in another resseson and these guys reunite I say strange turn of events. What a waste of talent instrument bands are more Autentic not manufactured like they are

18. "6. Say what you like but I am going to the concert when it comes to town. It will be fun. I went to all the concerts when I was in elementary school. Now my children are dancing to the old music." (quoted)

...Wow, need I comment?

19. "OLD MEN AROUND THE CORNER"? I beg to differ, my friend. New bucks have no idea how to use what they have - besides getting done in 30 seconds....Now, Wahlberg, I can look in his eyes and tell he knows what he is doing. what I wouldn't give for an hour with him...!

What would be better than that? Maybe a 22 year old that knows about as much about a woman's body as he does quantum physics (he knows nothing about either).....what makes anybody good at anything? EXPERIENCE AND PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. A guy over 30 has come into his own and generally knows where he is going in life (IF he has his crap together). He can take you to a restaurant (and we ain't talkin' Chili's), hold a conversation, respect you for your accomplishments, then take you home and.....well, let me just say, a young one trippin' over his own weinie will not be able to match up.

TO THE HATERS: go find something else better to do with your time other than hatin on them. they are all very talented, respectful and loving guys... they put music now - a- days to SHAME. I camped out or 28 hours total to see them... and i'd do it again in a heartbeat. i love those guys.... AND NOTHING you haters say will bring them down!

22. #18 why do you feel it necessary to make fun of myself and 2 young children? Several concerts have sold out so I am obviously not the only one going. Now I would expect you to make fun of me if I was going to see Vanilla Ice 20 years later. Have a great day and a safe Labor Day weekend. :)

23. To all the fans that are defending the guys honor, these people bashing them are not worth our time or breath. They can't see past anything but what they have been told by others. The guys are back, we know it and haters are just not able to deal well with the fact that these guys they THINK should be bombing at this are actually doing fantastically! And it's snowballing bigger and bigger everyday! Donnie was right when he said he wanted this to be vengence for us fans, and it is. People are gonna be shocked when they actually like the new music! The sad part is they won't even know what they are hearing because they are so blind to the fact that they could be wrong, that the would turn it the second they knew who it was if they have the opportunity.
Anyway, Die Hard fan here who met the guys at this function and had the time of my life! Love you guys, keep up the good work! And a special thank you to Jonathan who is working through some really hard stuff to be here with the rest. We love you. We always will.

24. OMG #19 I love you! LOVE your comment there! And oooooh so true! See that is where the jealousy is coming from. Funny that someone above said that white irish men don't age well. Well, gosh..if these men are men that haven't aged well then I want to see one that has, cuz they are all looking mighty fine these days if you ask me! And you are right about Donnie and the "wisdom" in his eyes. He would be far far better than 3 20 something year old men at once!

25. The guys are back whether people like it or not! They are not only back but doing extremely well with this reunion. They are proving to the world that they are very talented men. Their new music is current and hot! People are going to be amazed at their new look but unfortunately there will always be haters that are too stuck on hating them to actually listen to their music. I say it's jealousy. It's ok you haters can be jealous all you want. Meanwhile the guys will enjoy their success and us true fans will enjoy their music!! No matter what people say or what criticism they dish out about the New Kids on the Block, they can't stop this wave and how big it's getting!! Be prepared to see them on television, on the web, in your cities, everywhere!! They are Back and stronger than ever!!!
