Hot Vegas
New Kids Fans Go Nucking Futs

How did this possibly happen? Last night in Las Vegas, the New Kids arrived at LAX Nightclub to the kind of crowd that used to go bonkers for 'em 20 years ago. Repeat. 20 years ago.

A quote from our guy in Vegas: "In all my years in Vegas, I've never seen such pandemonium over anybody."

16. I saw NKOTB in San Jose this past Friday and I can tell you poster #1 and MOST ESPECIALLY #12 [BDG] that the 50,000 screaming fans, 95 percent girls/women, would heartily disagree with you! My wife, a long time fan, like the others at the concert, enjoyed a show that I thought was excellent and totally marvelled at the fact that they have not been around for [MORE CORRECTLY] 15 years and yet drew standing room ONLY crowds! My ears are STILL ringing from just the screaming! Oh yes, The BLOCK is back and they are bigger than ever. If you like singing done with a backtrack like Brit-Brit et al. then go ahead and enjoy that garbage, The BLOCK is here to stay! [second post]

19. it is called reliving your youth..lets face it no body wants to be getting old and having responsibiltys.
so the crowd that goes see them are all in thier late 20s to mid 30s, either married with a family, or they have great stressful jobs.. so for one night they forget life and reminice to being a teenager again.. good for them..

20. And you are surprised at this reaction why? NKOTB are the real deal! They are kind to their fans and genuine, something you do not get much any more! I was at the Cleveland concert and they had to wait to start singing 4 times b/c the screaming was so loud!!! They kept the entire crowd on our feet for the entire show! Yes, there are still many proud Block fans out there-inculding me! Long live THE BLOCK!!!

21. Thank you Contessa#18
It is ALL ABOUT being stress free is this day and age and to be young again is the best. The people leaving the "hateresque" comments must be young and when 50 Cent, and T.I. and Britney Spears do concerts again in 20 years I can bet that you'll be the first in line! You'll be dying to relive your youth whil your juggling a bad job, family, and BILLS!

22. I went to the NKOTB concert in Toronto and let me tell you, it was a FULL house at the ACC centre and the boys put on 3 shows!!! So to the poster saying that tickets arent selling.. i highly doubt it!

Im 27 and the age group was a mix of young people, people in their 20's, in their 30's etc. It was a great concert and the Boys CAN sing. I think people like them because its a flash from the past. I was never into NKOTB when i was younger but am reminded of my NON stress youth years and am happy to relieve them back for one night at the show!

23. If you think that was nuts, I wish you had video from *inside* LAX last night. I was there and it was freaking insane. I agree with your Vegas guy - never seen anything like it.

24. I was never a fan of NKOTB but I can tell everyone that the red carpet event at LAX Nightclub was not staged. People were truely that excited to see them. How do I know???? I'm the Security Agent in the clip walking in front of Donnie. I escorted the Performers from the concert to the red carpet to the club and then to the limos after the club. The energy and excitement of the fans never wavered.

25. NKOTB still rocks and I think all the sold out concerts are enough to prove it! =)

26. I saw them in LA and they are awesome. they are hotter than ever and the haters now are probably the same ones hating 20 yrs ago!! Get over it because NKOTB is not going anywhere.

28. I was at the Sac concert on Thursday and was lucky to meet Donnie too before the concert!! I know I met the chick on here that left a comment and would love to see her pics! Joey and Jordan waived at us and Danny REALLY wanted to come over and say hi to the 20-30 of us waiting in the freezing wind but the ONLY one that came over was Donnie. He is true when he says he gives his fans FACE TIME. I got A BUNCH of pics of how sweet Donnie is and LOOKS. He was my favorite when i was 12 and now that I am 31 he is BY FAR the best! He not only gave hugs but I got a kiss too! I not only love the new and old music but I love Donnie as an actor too. He is awesome to his fans. So to the HATERS... I get it but NKOTB IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!
