I’m in two different fandoms: Hanson music and this guy’s face

Tay and his knee fetish :D

Zacotherapy. 

go Mac, go

When Zac was injured it became really apparent to me that Hanson’s sound is a combination of all of them.  The songs lost so much character when it wasn’t Zac drumming and I don’t know if that would have ever occurred to me before  seeing it.  So sure.  You could replace Zac and the band would be functional, but would the band be successful?  I argue that the band would lose a lot of character which I believe is a huge part of why so many of us have stuck around for so long.  We came for the music, and stayed for the character.  

Yes Taylor has a unique sound, but they all do.  And it’s the combination that makes Hanson what they are.  For example Tinted Windows hit differently than Hanson even though Taylor was their front man.  

Also, I won’t even get into this the way I want to... but to say that the others aren’t as “original” as Taylor?  If you really watch behind the scenes/studio videos, especially older ones, I’d argue that Zac is actually more original.  Or at least strives to be.  In my observation, he’s the one often pushing the band to try new things and push them out of the box while Taylor argues to pull back into the classic pop hook.  

“Without Taylor’s unique sound, amazing looks and cool demeanor the band would cease to be. But I feel that Ike or Zac could be replaced and the band still function. They are very talented yes, but not as original.“

If anyone is recording tonights TTA livestream (even just audio) please let me know!  Long story short, my internet is out and they can’t get a technician out to me until JUNE 21.  So I’m SOL for the livestream :( 

“I only care about Taylor now. It’ll be weird going to concerts again when I can’t stand the other two.”

“ We were promised 2 full albums, we get an EP. After 8 years, we get an EP. At least one full album was supposed to be finished before the pandemic, but wasn’t released because of it. They have their own studio. WTH? But sure continue to excuse them and support them by throwing money at them. “
