Oh, they weren't in Poland, but I wanted it so much... I longed for small word in their tour schedule, but...But time has passed and I am in Boston now, thanx to them. I remember the videos, ones of my first videos consciously seen... And everything that is connected to NKOTB is so full of warm and positivity, that I believe that everything can be achieved! My fondest memories are all about becoming stronger. Really.

Hmmm....i think everyone has a memory of the fave five and most of us were too young then:) I was in 6th grade!it was the summer of 92 when i saw this tv special about them since they were coming here in the Philippines for the first time(and..it was also the last) .They were showing old videos and i was doing my homework and my brother was watching tv..He would be changing the channels every now and then!it didn't really bothered me 'coz i was busy with my homework but when he stopped at this one channel it felt like i was hypnotized!!!i saw 5 cute guys and they were singing and dancing,my eyes haven't blinked for like 20 mins!!!!!the first guy that really took my attention was Jordan(i fell deeply inloved w/him!got lost in his eyes!!!)and then i took notice of the 4 other guys...they are all sooooo cute:).From that day i became a big fan i would search about any stuff about them.But i guess i became a fan on the later part which i feel sad,how was i not able to take notice of these 5 talented cute guys?!!!:)Nkotb was already on their way out when i discovered them:( When they went here i was 12 and my mom wouldn't allow me to watch their concert so i went sobbing while other Nkotb fans here were having the time of their lives:( I feel i really missed out on alot..:(. When i was in first yr high school i bought their last album Face the music and thought it was matured compared to their past albums which by the way i own a complete collection:) but still enjoyed it and i still keep all the stuff i have about Nkotb as treasures...i have books,pin-ups(which i used to kiss when i was alot younger:),i have the nkotb in your house video and a recorded oprah guesting and i also made a scrapbook of them where i even wrote a special thanks to their loyal fans 'coz we all know they never said goodbye. I still feel excited when i hear stuff or see anything about them in VH1 or any tv specials,I'd still look for nkotb stuff in the old bookstores or even in thrift shops.They are my inspiration when i was still studying i use to have this binder with lots of nkotb pictures and we have a group and my nickname then was Jordy (JORdan & meloDY).Jordan was the firsst guy i thought my type of guy would be like:) but i've always thought that all five guys are great..you'll like all of them:).I always taalked about them in high school!i jusst really loved them.My best friend right now is so sick and tired of hearing me talk about them but she has no choice :P.They were such good influence on me.I'll always love them,I don't care what people will say.My dream is to meet all fivee of them aand have aa group picture and also solo pics with them:)

I live in a northern canada town who had no hopes of ever getting New Kids up here for a concertand my friends and I weren't rich enough togo to the big city to watch them. Sooooo .... we made our own concerts in our living room. We would get dressed up, put on a movie and act like we were in front row. Screaming, yelling, jumping up and down; I don't know how our parents put up with it so well! That is one of my favorite New Kids memories that I will never forget!

Angel_ast75's NKOTB Memories
Summer 1991 N.K.O.T.B were in london and i had tickets to three of their concerts, my mum had managed to get them for me, and had kept them secret for me, till my 16th birthday....i spent the whole time they were in london, camped outside the Mayfair Hotel, with my friends Lindsay and Simone, we tried everything we could to get in, but they were having none of it....Never gott o meet them properly that time, But when they came back to the uk, cant remember if it was later on that yr or the following yr, they were staying at the langhams hotel, kensington, and we ended up in the hotel having a piss fight with Donnie.....for which i now have a life time ban...

Ana Verity's NKOTB Memories
Alas! A place to spill my most special memories. They were one of the best things about my youth. I was in middle school and I shared my love for NK with my cousin Lia who had a thing for Jordan. She stayed at our house which made it even better cuz all we did was talk about NK. We had t-shirts, stickers, buttons, magazines, cassettes, videos, and tons of pictures all over our walls. I remember Bop, Big Bopper, and Teen Beat. One day, Lia bought this huge Jordan poster while I bought the Donnie one and we hung them up on our bedroom ceilings so they'd look down at us while we slept. Then my dad had a fit about 'a boy' being in my room so I had to put all my NK stuff in the closet. Before I went to school everyday I'd open my closet and say HI to them. My brother would tease me saying my boyfriend was Donnie. I woke up early one morning to find my dad looking in my closet. I guess he found out Donnie was just a huge poster stuck to my door. My parents were too ol' skool to ever let me and Lia go to any concerts. We just ended up buying the concerts on video and it's like we were there. I wanted to die when I saw Donnie kissing some girl in the 'Call It What You Want' video. I remember when they played the Step By Step video on CMC and thought Jordan can hella dance! OMG! I almost forgot about the cartoons on channel 7. Nikko was soooooo cute! I remember staying way past my bedtime to watch The Arsenio Hall Show because they were performing. I remember Jordan saying "Thank you very much" in a bass voice when Arsenio complemented him on his 'Stylistics' voice [I forgot the singer's name]. It was right after the whole Milli Vanilli scandal so they wanted to prove that they weren't lip syncers. I can't believe I still remember this stuff after 15 years! Almost forgot to mention that I called their hotline, too. Oooh, I remember Macy's San Francisco had an LA Gear fashion show and they played the entire Step By Step album. Hahaha LA Gear. I was trippin when they shortened their name. Then I heard "Dirty Dawg" and it reminded me of BBD or Guy. That song was off the hook! They broke up when I was in high school and remember them playing "If You Go Away" on the radio after they announced it. I discovered the NKOTB.com site when I was searching for the Seiko/Donnie song and cried when I saw their faces again. When that site closed I was blessed to find FTM!! The memories are endless :D

TXSQT761's NKOTB Memories
I first fell in love with NKOTB in 1988 and I fell hard. I was so in love with Donnie back then and my best friend was in love with Jordan. I would beg my sister to let me babysit my nieces for cash and I blew it all on Big Bop, Big Bopper, Tiger Beat just so I could get posters. EVery square inch of my room was covered with posters, especailly Donnie. I would write dozens of stories about them, all of my friends and I would swap stories at school and have "New Kid Parties", thsoe were the days. That's why I still love listing to them today...takes me back to a fun time in my life! I will never give that up. I love you guys! And thanks for this website...at least I can chat with people who feel the same way I do!

SAMELVISROCKS's NKOTB Memories
New Kids in the flesh 21st may 1991 - Me and my friend Louise had travelled 450 miles from central scotland to london stayed with my brother fora few days and on the 21st we went to see them at wembley arena, it was only when we walked in the place and the steward showed us to our seats we discovered we where in the 3rd row bang in the middle it was fantastic, much to my annoyance to this day i had left the camera at my brothers house!! But it was a fantastic night and on the way back to my brothers house in all my excitement i fell over and spilt my knee open which required 4 stitches so i have an ever lasting momento of that day! Life was very very sweet that day it's been downhill ever since!!

Unfortunetly I was never able to see the New Kids in concert. But I enjoyed seeing them on t.v. like when they were on the Oprah Winfrey & the Arsenio Hall show. One of my favorites was the Wildest Dreams special that was the best! But my favorite memory was of me & my best friend Tammy. Her mom lived across the road from me and every summer she would come stay with her mom everyother weekend. So when she was at her mom's ,she would come over or I'd go over there. We would act like I was married to Joey and Tammy to Jordan,we would have party's and the other New Kids would come, we would play they're music. It was kinda crazy,but we had a blast. But after her mom moved I didn't see or hear from her,until last year. She was the only real friend I had,and the major thing we common was our love for New Kids. I still listen to them often they will always hold a special place in my heart. NKOTB Forever!

Kristie 's NKOTB Memories
Even though I got to see them (and Jordan solo) in concert and it was AMAZING and I've recorded hours and hours of video footage over the years., I think my favorite memory is their 1992 appearance on Arsenio. Forget all the negativity surrounding why they were they and think back to the realness of the musical performance. I loved that opening of "The Right Stuff", Donnie's mad-rap, and "What'cha Gonna Do About It?". But I think the best performance they have ever given was when they say "If You Go Away." To this day that brings chills down my spine. I proved that they DID sing and that they sang so well together.

I just want to say is know matters what happens to the Ex-New Kids On The Block, they always have a special place in my heart. And I also love the song Please don't go girl. Cause I already knew that Joey McIntyre was singing that song to me. And I'm also happy for Jonathan Knight to not be nervouse about his panic attacks.

My memories of the New Kids are good ones. I was a shy and akward teenager, a late bloomer. When Donnie and the New Kids sang their way into my hearts, none of that mattered to me. I would spend countless hours writing stories about the guys and they helped me deal with all the bullies that I had. I still get warm fuzzy feelign whenever I hear them. Thank you New Kids on the Block for making me teenage years something to smile back on.

DMCsFamily's NKOTB Memories
My First and Only Concert was August of 1991and I ws going to the concert and I saw the limo ride beside us and I juat started waving. Even though Icouldn't see them. I waved anyway. A second later they were on the bridge to the concert, they rolled down the windows and I heard the fans of the New Kids screaming all of a sudden. But they also stayed in the Greenville, SC Hilton on the way to Furman for the concert. And I won't ever forget the spot where I waved to them. Oh, they came in with a bang literally on stage. They came down from the top of the stage. And they went up that way too. But I found out that the Hilton booked the entire top floor (9th) for everybody including the New Kids. And my niece and I gave letters to give to Jordan and Jonathan and Donnie to their personal bodyguard at the concert. I will not forget that night. Afterwards, I remember I could not sleep until late in the early morning until about 3 am. I was still that wound up at that time. I was tired but couldn't get to sleep at first. I really loved being at the concert. And I had seats towards the front. I was in section BB2 Front row. Even though section AA2 was the first row. I was really happy that night. That's right I won't forget that night.

Diana 's NKOTB Memories
Growing up I always felt like I was alone. I was a kid who got teased and pushed in school. I had a seizure disorder and was on medicine that made me depressed and I never felt much love from my parents. I always felt excluded and I didn't know where I belonged. Then the New Kids came into my life and the lyrics to "Hangin' Tough" helped cope with how I felt. But the one person who I did considered to be close to died March 19th, 1990 and the song "I'll Be Missing You Come Christmas (A Letter To Santa)" was the song that pulled me through my grandmother's death. I will always be grateful for that the most; even though they currently helped me with the lyrics to "Hangin' Tough". I was abused and left him and we have two girls together. We've been seperated for two years and I did things at night like lying on the floor when because I felt like dirt, I came so close so many times of walking out the door and putting myself in the garbage can, but "Hangin' Tough" stopped me each time. It also helped me face myself in the mirror after I got out of the bath. Unfortunately, my sister's tape player ruined my tapes, but just as soon as I can save money up, I get more. I thank the "New Kids" for coming out, but now that I know why the "New Kids" really broke up, I wish they hadn't come out because I wouldn't wished what happened on either Jordan or Jonathan. The "New Kids" will always hold a special place in my heart. Thanks guys.

JLPM 's NKOTB Memories
I remember so much about NKOTB. My one favorite memory has to be when I finally saw them in concert. It was December 10,1990.They were in Philadelphia, PA playing at the Spectrum(aka First Union Center). I will never forget that night. Our seats were section P rear veiw. We were only five rows away from the side of the stage. I held this huge sigc that read"Joe, JP is here!" He looked over at me and smiled. He wanted to throw his shirt at me at the end of the show, but one of the guards stopped him. I will never forget that day. He made my day. I still listen to the NKOTB albums. They will always hold a special place in my heart

Inspector 's NKOTB Memories
Fave New Kid memory is difficult, but I'd say 90% of the time when I think about this memory I smile. Every weekend I held a party for New Kid's fans. Every kid in the neighborhood was invited to come and watch the Hangin Tough Live video. I put a sign on the front door to remind them all week, and come weekend we'd eat popcorn and move all the furniture and follow along with all of their dance routines. There would be kids showing up all eveing, some I didn't even know! But it was all good cuz we were all fans. Our parents never objected, they actually left the house for the night to let us be alone! I was about 11.

Ms. Kat's NKOTB Memories
May 28,1989 will be a day that will forever stick in my mind. That is the day I went to my first NK concert and the first time I met Joe and Jon. It was in Cleveland Ohio and they were performing at the Richfield Coliseum. It actually happend on a fluke. My friends were not allowed to take their cameras into the venue and we were told that they had to take them to the security office. Well we were NOT happy about that because we wanted pics of the show. So we went down this long driveway and as we got closer I noticed someone standing with the door open. I kind of had a little attitude (LOL) and said "I wonder who THAT is!". Well as we got closer I saw that it was Joe! I could not believe it!! To make a long story short we chatted with him for awhile and then Jon came out. Lets just say that we were very happy the ticket people did not let us into the venue at that time, it was like what are the odds of that happening to a fan ever! I guess someone was smiling down on us that day!
