By just focusing on making records, frontman Taylor Hanson told\u00a0<em>FL<\/em>\u2019s David Swan ahead of his band\u2019s Australian tour. \u201cWe were always in this to make music,\u201d he says. \u201cnot to be superstars. We\u2019re the guys that write and produce and we work with other artists, and that\u2019s our passion. Just to make songs and write records and tour. So I think we were so influenced by our own drive to be musicians first, that I think that helped keep us focused on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then offered the following advice to Justin Bieber, who doesn\u2019t even\u00a0remember he was in Australia just four months ago.\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t wanna say that he\u2019s getting it wrong \u2026 but I think history will show and tell who survives and who doesn\u2019t. Because it\u2019s really hard to survive in this business. Mostly because you are putting yourself out there. And you\u2019re taking a risk, and you\u2019re opening yourself up to criticism whenever you become an artist. Everything you do can be loved and hated\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hanson are returning to Australia as part of their\u00a0<em>Anthem<\/em>\u00a0world tour \u2013 and to celebrate the 17th anniversary of \u2018MMMBop\u2019 this August. The full \u201cFiring Line\u201d interview with Taylor \u2013 in which he discusses marrying young, why Miley Cyrus was smoking weed with Wayne Coyne in his studio, and which shampoo keeps his hair so full of body \u2013 will be published on\u00a0<em>FL<\/em>\u00a0soon.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fasterlouder.com.au\/news\/38988\/Taylor-Hansons-advice-to-Justin-Bieber-Just-focus-on-the-music\" target=\"_blank\">Faster Louder<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 7, 2014 by Sarah Smith Taylor Hanson\u00a0and\u00a0Justin Bieber\u00a0have a lot in common.
