- He loves Mugs root beer and Jelly Belly Very Cherry jelly beans
- He wears a beeper but he keeps it in on his back pocket because he's not trying to be showy
A few of his nicknames are Tay, Tayles, the Mad Percussionist, and TayTayBear
He has a braided rat's tail but he cut a few inches off of it.
He's said that if a guy was picking on a really cute girl, he was a fighter.
Three of the keyboards he uses are Korg X-3 and a Kurzweil PC-88, and a Roland something or other
He has a wretched habit of tapping on everything (you'd think it would be Zac who'd do that)
His retainer is sparkly red on top and sparkly blue on bottem (same as me!)
He took voice lessons while his voice changed
He has that adorable foot stomp while he performs
He wears ckBe
He uses Flex shampoo
He was born in Jenks Oklahoma, and lives in, Tulsa Oklahoma
His early musical influences are Aretha Franklin, the Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, Bobby Darin and other music from the late 50's and early 60's.
He doesn't have time for a girlfriend (ha well ya know...I'm not sure I believe that after what they said on Leno awhile back)
His opinion on dating a fan is: "If somebody's obsessed with you, it would be hard to go out with her. You'd take her hand and she'd scream! But if she was nice enough, then yeah, I'd date a fan." I say, date this you pansy.
When forced to chose his favorite song from the CD, Tay says MMMBop (he would)
Taylor on how they spelled MMMBop: "It just looked good" Well Tay, I think YOU look good!
Tay quote: "There was always singing going around and music in our house. We just naturally started writing songs."
Tay quote: "All those screaming girls and guys going crazy, you just have to have fun with it." Yeah...We'll have fun!
Tay quote: "Its cool to have people respond to you." I respond in more ways than one.
Tay quote: "I'm the quietest one, obviously."
"Music's always changing, just like styles are always changing. I think things are going away from the alternative thing. Just because the music we make is more up, and more fun, I guess in a way [Hanson probably is] where music is headed." Yeah right!
DO NOT COMPARE THEM TO THE BEATLES!!! It pisses Taylor off!
Taylor's comparison of Hanson to the Beatles: "The Beatles! I mean, they were the Beatles! We're ladybug size."
He wears a wristwatch and chokers to no avail
His most used word is Weird
He still can't get used to the idea of girls screaming at him. They'll be screaming in other ways...
He has 3 scars: one on the back of his leg from a soccer game and 2 from running into a glass door. You can one around his eye. He's gonna give me a scar from...nevermind.
Taylor on how he broke his arm: "I was going down this huge hill on my bike to see a house my parents thought they might buy. They were driving up the hill as I was going down, and I saw the car heading toward me. I braked, and went straight over the handlebars. I looked at my arm and it had just snapped!" Well gee! Thats what my arm did. How uncanny...
He loves to flirt (yeah with Wickit we hope)
He used to run around with a plastic sword
He used to refuse to take off his baseball cap
His favorite ice cream flavor is strawberry
His fave school subject is english
He shops at the Gap
He likes to go-cart
Tay quote: "You have to know what you want and keep going for it."
He tells people not to zone in on him, but all 3 of them. How sweet is THAT? Actually now that I think about it, it's kinda conceited. He thinks he has to tell people to leave him alone. HA!
Tay quote: "How much better a job could you possibly have than to be in a band for your whole life?" (Gee thanks, Tay)
Tay quote: "Before we learned our instruments, we had this thing back in Tulsa where we'd start to sing in every restaurant we'd go to hoping they'd give us free pizza or something." (I'd have given them more than free pizza)
Taylor on Hanson: "There's the whole package...3 brothers who enjoy hanging out with each other, who love what they're doing. Thats who we are. We're just normal guys having fun." (With each other)
Tay on his brothers: "Its great to be friends with your brothers. Then you've got friends for life."
"You have to like yourself before you can do anything!" -Tay (I like ya, Taylor!)
Tay on his background: "Our family's ethnic background is Danish. That explains our love for lego!" Ok I don't get it...
He wears boxers (most of the time at least)
Like creamy peanut butter (does he?)
Favorite breakfast cereal is Cocoa Puffs
His favorite place to eat in LA is Johnny Rockets
He loves playing laser tag at laser quest and paintball
Uses Colgate toothpaste
He built the treehouse in the backyard with Ike and Zac
He writes in his journal everyday (how profound)
Taylor on fan stuff: "We read our fan mail-whatever we can. We love reading the mail."(bull)
Tay on music: "Music can't be about the fame or the money or any of that stuff. You really have to love it." Love this...
He blushes REALLY easily (not anymore)
He (like his brothers) bites his nails.
He sleeps in a tank top and boxers. Or...no I won't even go there.
He detests it when fans meet him and scream
He LOVES baggy pants. Well ya know...I kinda am debating over the truth of this one after seeing a few of his more recent ensembles.
His favorite song is Tubthumping by Chumba Wamba. Well, at least it was awhile ago. He said he thought it was "really cool" in Disney Adventures magazine
Contrary to anti-Hansonite belief, HE IS NOT DYSLEXIC!!!
He says that if he saw the perfect girl waiting in line for a concert ticket, he'd ask her out. Now I think that's kinda odd. Waiting for a concert ticket? As in, a HANSON concert ticket??? Why must he search for love in a line for one of his own concerts??? Go figure
Ok here's the best Tay quote. It's the most...profound thing I've EVER heard. Marissa informed me of this. "If the ones you love are stolen away from you, the way to keep them alive is to keep loving them. Buildings burn, people die, true love lasts forever."
Here's Tay on the Road To Albertane when Ike is being weird. "SOMEBODY SAVE ME!!!!!" (I will!)
Quote- "How many times a day do you say the word 'weird'"?
Quote- "Well I think the WEIRDEST thing is when they interpret what you're saying as you're talking." Well duh Taylor. What do you think an interpreter is?
Quote- "Man...I can already tell you guys know how to rock!"
Quote from the Hershey concert- "Well guys, this was the first song released out from Motown records. It's called 'Money, Thats What I Want'" And in the background Marissa, in between screams and sobs, goes "AND YOU WOULD KNOW!!!!!!!!!!"
Another Hershey quote- "You know what? You guys are loud. You guys make a lot of noise!"
More Hershey- "This song is going out to everybody on the bleachers!" Guess what? We were on the bleachers!
From the Beacon- "Well guys, you're at a Hanson concert, there are no rules. The only rule is, you can't sit down. You have to have fun, you have to go crazy!" Well you fool! You just there were no rules! By the way, I didn't get that verbatim. I won't get a lot of these verbatim so don't complain.
"Ok thats my cue."
Hershey concert- "Anybody asleep yet?" And in the background again, Marissa goes "YOU DUMB@$$!!!" Por favor, keep in mind that we really do worship Hanson and just say that stuff spontaneously.
"Thats when you shut the curtain. That's what the curtain's for." I don't like the sound of that!
"We're about to do the most insane we've ever done. We're about to try to fly." Well I did it and it wasn't the most insane thing I've ever done.
Back home...
