What's the one thing the Backstreet Boys love
more than anything else in the world? No, not Gummy Bears! Performing, silly! Here's what
they think about life on the lively road!
 | KEVIN: ON THE CROWD! |
"When we first
started touring, it was quite a shock to us how loud the crowd was. That was three and a
half to four years ago, when we first started playing huge venues. At first, we couldn't
hear ourselves on stage, but now we've got a 'wall of sound' around us, so we can hear our
own voices. It's pretty weird though, hearing those screams."
 | NICK: ON THE RIGORS OF THE ROAD!
|
"Things can get
really intense when you're traveling so much, and you can get a really big head, but we're
lucky, because we come from very wholesome families and they help us keep our heads on
straight."
 | HOWIE: ON THE LONELINESS OF THE ROAD!
|
"You can get very
lonely when you're away from your family for so much of the year. That's why I really rely
on these guys--the five of us have really bonded and we keep each other together. We have
great communication. And then sometimes we bring our families with us on the road, and
that helps us feel less lonely."
 | A.J: ON THE PRE-SHOW!
|
"We do a group prayer
before every show, and that allows us to focus and just be one, as a whole, instead of
five individuals which we are on a day to day basis. This is the way we become a team, and
we'll continue to do it this way forever. It keeps our heads clear and together."
 | BRIAN: ON THE FANS!
|
"We love every one of
our fans. The fans make this job fun every night of our lives. Without them, we're
nothing."
