Backstreet Boys: Show 'Em What You're Made Of Page #5

---

I THINK.

IT NEEDS TO BE, UH,

HEART WRENCHING,

OR IT NEEDS TO BE DARK.

OR IT NEEDS TO BE--

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT THEN THAT CONTRADICTS

IF I'M IN THE SPOTLIGH AND THEN YOU'RE WAITING

IN DARKNESS, NO?

NO, BECAUSE THE DARKNESS

ISN'T NECESSARILY THE LIGHT.

THE DARKNESS:

IS THE EMOTION.

WAITING IN DARKNESS,

I STOOD WITH SADNESS.

THAT'S HOW-- THAT'S

HOW I TAKE IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I LIKE THE--

LIKE SING IT MORE LIKE

OFF THE F***IN' BEAT.

- YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

- THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

- SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YEAH.

- UH.

BUT I MEAN, WE'RE NAIVE

TO THINK WE COULD COME HERE

IN THREE WEEKS:

AND CUT AN ALBUM.

YEAH, I KNOW.

I FELT LIKE:

WE WE WERE GOING IN CIRCLES.

WE WERE OPTIMISTIC--

- I DON'T THINK WE WERE NAIVE.

I NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS

THOUGHT THAT WAS--

- YOU'RE OPTIMISTIC.

- DON'T GET ME WRONG,

GUYS, WE'RE ONE WEEK IN

AND HOW MANY SONGS DO WE HAVE?

FIVE ALMOST.

- THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

- IT'S NOT BAD.

- LET'S--

- NO, I KNOW--

IT'S A SHOT.

LET'S JUST KEEP--

I THINK WE'RE GETTING

THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE HERE.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S JOIN HANDS.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE A BLESSING.

COME ON.

THAT'S GOOD.

REALLY, FOR REAL.

COME ON.

GOOD TO BLESS THE FOOD.

OH, DEAR LORD,

THANK YOU FOR THIS DAY.

THANK YOU FOR THE BLESSINGS

THAT YOU BLESSED US WITH.

THANK YOU FOR THIS CIRCLE.

WE ASK THAT YOU BLESS

THIS FOOD:

TO THE NOURISHMEN OF OUR BODIES

AND BLESS THIS RECORD,

HALLELUJAH.

IN CHRIST'S NAME WE PRAY.

AMEN.

- AMEN.

- AMEN.

LET'S TOAST.

HERE'S TO ANOTHER 20.

YEP.

AND THIS IS OURS.

- HOWARD.

WHEN THE GROUP:

FIRST STARTED,

I WAS DOING A LOT MORE

OF THE LEADS.

AND LITTLE BY LITTLE,

WHEN WE GOT WITH MAX MARTIN,

OUR SOUND CHANGED,

SO THROUGHOUT THE YEARS

I REALLY HAD A HARD TIME,

I STRUGGLED WITH THAT.

I RESENTED THE SITUATION.

I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE

WHY AM I ALWAYS HAVING

TO BE PUSHED:

IN THE BACKGROUND?

I WANTED TO HAVE MY VOICE

HEARD JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

PERFECT.

I GOT A LITTLE TWO

IN MY HEAR ON THAT ONE PART THERE.

WITH THE NEW RECORD

AND THE NEW DYNAMIC

I TOLD THEM, I SAID,

YOU KNOW WHAT?

IN ORDER FOR ME TO FEEL

COMFORTABLE:

BEING A PART OF THIS,

I REALLY NEED TO BE ABLE

TO NOT BE IN THE BACK.

I NEED TO BE UP IN THE FRON WITH YOU GUYS.

YOU JUST GOTTA IT TWICE

AND YOU'RE DONE.

YOU'RE BUTTER.

THAT'S HOW YOU DO.

THAT'S HOWIE D.

AT LEAST MY TOES LOOK SOMEWHA PRESENTABLE TODAY.

NORMALLY, THEY'RE TOO LONG.

I COULD F***ING CLIMB A TREE.

IT'S VERY EMBARRASSING.

CRAP! SORRY.

A.J.?!

I'M HOWIE.

I'M SINGING ALL THE LEADS

ON EVERYTHING FOR THIS RECORD.

IT'S GONNA BE A GREA RECORD, DON'T WORRY.

IT'S THE BEST EVER.

HELLO THERE, MY FRIEND.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

GOOD, I'M GOOD.

DO YOU REMEMBER:

WHO THIS IS?

THIS IS LITTLE HOWIE.

YEAH, HOWARD

FROM DOWN THE STREET.

I USED TO HAVE HIS MOM

GOING, "HOWIE, HOWIE."

YEAH, COME IN, COME IN.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

WELCOME BACK.

WHEN I WAS BORN,

WE HAD NO CENTRAL HEATING HERE.

I SWEATED MY BUTT OFF.

SO THE FIRST THING I DID

WHEN WE MADE A LITTLE MONEY,

I PUT CENTRAL HEA AND AIR IN THIS HOUSE.

I WAS TIRED OF SWEATING.

DUDE, LOOK AT THIS.

- DID YOU WRITE THAT?

- I DID. ME AND MY DAD.

- HOKEN HOWARD--

- HOKE D. HOWARD.

HOKE D-- I THINK

I GOT A LITTLE CRAZY.

I DECIDED I WANTED TO DO

MY AUTOGRAPH ON EVERYTHING.

WELL, THAT'S CRAZY, I LIVED

MY WHOLE LIFE IN THIS HOUSE.

IT'S BEEN A PAR OF MY LIFE FOR 39 YEARS.

AND TO ACTUALLY:

STAY HERE WITH YOU.

I KNOW YOU HAVE.

YOU HAVE.

DOWN THE STREET, ACTUALLY,

UM, WAS ONE OF MY FIRST KISSES

WAS HIS COUSIN, CHELSEA.

- MY NIECE, MY NIECE.

- YOUR NIECE.

- THANK YOU, SIR.

- THANK YOU, KEVIN.

AS A LITTLE KID:

BACK HERE,

I HAD A BUNCH OF RABBITS.

IT STARTED OFF:

WITH LIKE ONE:

AND THEN I THINK

WE HAD ANOTHER ONE,

AND THEN LIKE THE NEXT YEAR

WE HAD LIKE 45 OF THEM

'CAUSE YOU KNOW

THEY GET BUSY.

MY DAD CALLED ME OUT HERE

AND SAID,

GOT TO FINISH OFF

THE REST OF THE RABBITS.

SO I DIDN'T KNOW

WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT.

OH, NO.

SO I GOT MY FIRST TRUE

EXPERIENCE:

OF HAVING TO KILL A RABBIT.

OH.

I WENT AFTER THE ONE

THAT WAS THE MEANEST ONE,

THE ONE THAT I HATED

THE MOST.

HE HAD LIKE A SNAGGLE TOOTH

AND I HATED THA BLACK RABBIT SO MUCH,

I'M LIKE, IF I'VE GOT TO

KILL ONE OF THESE THINGS,

YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S GOING,

SO I'M LIKE TRYING TO HIT HIM

AND HE'S LIKE JUMPING

ALL AROUND.

I'M LIKE-- I'M TRYING

TO HOP ALL AROUND,

AND THIS POOR LITTLE

RABBIT'S-- I COULDN'T DO IT.

MY DAD'S LIKE,

GET IN THE HOUSE, SON.

AND HE'D KNOCK 'EM OU AND JUST KILL IT.

DUDE.

- IT WAS-- IT WAS

- SOAK 'EM IN SALT WATER?

- IT WAS BACK-WOODS STYLE, DUDE.

- YOUR MOM FRY 'EM UP?

YEAH, AND I COULDN' EAT IT.

I COULDN'T EAT I 'CAUSE IT WAS JUST LIKE--

IT WAS TOO HARD GOING DOWN.

I WAS 12 YEARS OLD,

AND WE HAD TO, YOU KNOW,

I'M SURE BEING IN THE COUNTRY

YOU PROBABLY KNOW HOW YOU TAKE

CARE OF YOUR OWN ANIMALS

AND STUFF LIKE THA AND I'D NEVER EXPERIENCED THAT,

BUT MY DAD WAS FROM GEORGIA,

AND HIM GROWING UP,

THAT'S WHAT YOU DID.

YOU KNOW, THE ANIMALS--

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

I LIVE IN GEORGIA.

I AIN'T SKINNED

A RABBIT... YET.

THAT'S CRAZY,

THOUGH, MAN.

IN THE BEGINNING,

I WAS HANGING:

OUT A LOT WITH HOWIE.

I WOULD COME OVER

AND STAY AT HIS HOUSE HERE.

- WHICH IS KIND OF IRONIC--

- 'CAUSE YOU LIKED MY NIECE.

THAT'S BECAUSE

I LIKED YOUR NIECE,

NO, BUT BRIAN AND I, WE USED TO

GO PLAY BASKETBALL A LOT HERE.

UM, THAT'S BACK WHEN

HE HAD THIS TRUCK

THAT WE CALLED:

THE BLEEDING BANANA.

ME AND HIM DROVE DOWN

FROM KENTUCKY IN THAT THING.

NO SHOCKS,

MY KNEES WERE IN THE DASHBOARD.

IT WAS LIKE...

DUDE, I HAD THE SPEAKERS

IN THE BACK.

HE WAS BLOWING IT, MAN.

I WAS A THUG...

THERE WAS ONE TIME THA WE LEFT OUT OF LOU'S HOUSE,

AND IT WAS LIKE:

A FRIDAY NIGHT,

WE HAD ALL BEEN PLAYING

AND WHATEVER.

I HAD MY GIRLFRIEND,

AND BRIAN HAD HIS GIRLFRIEND,

AND WE HAULED BUT OUT OF LOU'S HOUSE.

THE NEXT YOU KNOW,

WE SAW THESE LIGHTS

COME UP BEHIND US

AND WE'RE LIKE,

"OH, MAN,"

AND WE WERE GOING FAST.

IT WAS FAST,

LIKE KIND OF LIKE

YOU WOULD HAVE GONE

TO JAIL FOR FAST-WISE.

ALL WE DID, WE SAID WE WERE

AT LOU PEARLMAN'S HOUSE,

AND WE GOT OFF.

I KNEW AT THAT POINT,

THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED

HOW POWERFUL LOU WAS.

IN THE AREA, YEAH.

HE DOESN'T HAVE THOSE

CONNECTIONS ANYMORE NOW.

UH, NO.

THAT'S FOR SURE.

AROUND 1995,

I CAME OFF THE ROAD

AND LOU SAID, "COME HERE

I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING."

HE SHOWED ME A VHS TAPE

OF THIS GROUP.

THEY DIDN'T HAVE

A NAME AT THE TIME,

AND I DIDN'T KNOW

BUT IT WAS A SHOWCASE

THAT LOU HAD FINANCED,

AND LOU HAD BEEN

WORKING WITH THEM.

IT WAS ALMOST LIKE A BETRAYAL.

YOU KNOW,

WHEN WE STARTED OU WE'RE LIKE,

"YEAH, WE'RE A TEAM,

WE'RE GONNA TAKE OVER

THE WORLD.

AND THERE'S, YOU KNOW,

THERE'S NOBODY LIKE US."

THEN YOU FIND OUT,

WELL, ACTUALLY,

THERE IS SOMEBODY LIKE YOU.

WE'RE MOLDING THEM

IN YOUR IMAGE,

THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD US.

DAMN, DUDE,

I GUESS ONE WASN'T ENOUGH

SO NOW YOU GO TO HAVE 15 BOY GROUPS.
