If you started today, which they believe would be the response from audiences and critics? A similar group launched in 2012 would now take revenge?

Danny - I like to sing with my fellas and there's chemistry. Do not know if it would work, but the fans will approve. There are new boy bands and they are great. My daughter loves it. The music is very good. These guys [One Direction, The Wanted] respect us. When we started, there were Jackson 5, New Edition ... But we were the largest example, when they started using the term boy band.

There embarrassment of returning to active duty now, you are older? Rola ashamed to sing certain lyrics, do certain dances?

Danny - right Every dance has its proper context. Today, I believe we are better than when we were younger. We are more experienced, sing better. We danced more than before, and better. We are setting things up for the musical style today.

The height of his fame always brings excesses (of spending, spree of stardom ...). Which of these excesses more 'caught' for you, becoming a problem?

Danny - This was not a problem. We are lucky because no one was lost in this lifestyle. We are very simple families of Boston [U.S.]. This source helped all the way. We are better behaved today. Not taking part in more parties after the shows, just go to the hotel and rest a little. We believe much more in music today.

Do you still feel like the New Kids on the Block?

Danny - We're the same band we were because of our fans, since we got back in 2008. Fans in Brazil have been asking for us to return since the end of the group. We are very excited about everything that is happening. That's what makes us happy and feel the same band. We are lucky.

Do you sing the hits, or just sing new songs?

Danny - We sing some new, but basically sang hits. Where do the show the audience wants, you can be sure. Do not let any famous song out.

All members were agreed to comeback at the beginning?

Danny - the music was all we had new things ... Donnie played a song and enjoy the time. We returned to the studio, it was simple. All 100% stumbled on time.

In our time we rolled a bias for a boy band, and it was just bothering him, doubted because of our talent, saying he did not actually sing, it was playback. This happened to you?

Danny - We were the first, then no one really understand what we were doing there. Either loved or hated the band. Today is quite different. The negative things are smaller, less feel their presence. Today we have nothing to prove to anyone. We're just in this for the fans.

Reached a career season in which we turned over 'celebrity' than singers. We did a few shows, but we were in the media. They passed it?

Danny - We did fight in 1995, but returned. It's very different now. I do not think in the past, we have only to think about this. I do not think the negative things of the past ...

Fans of years ago are still present or even take their kids to tan for the New Kids? 've Rolled a few stories like that?

Danny - Some fans are bringing children. And we realized that young people have fun. My daughter is 13 and likes our music. Young children will leave with their parents and fans.
