This week the New Kids on the Block released the DVD "Coming Home," an in-depth look at the making of their return to the spotlight and the resulting album The Block. While the guys admit there is very little that can be captured on camera that can embarrass them, they say it's those moments that will make the DVD worth it for their fans.
"Embarrassment is overrated — that's that point of a DVD," Joey McIntyre told MTV News earlier this week, while they were recruiting Jimmy Fallon to join the band and share his best NKOTB memories. "We're opening up our world to whoever wants to see it and our fans have been great to us. It’s a love letter to the fans."
While Donnie Wahlberg and Jordan Knight are quick to point out any all of the super-embarrassing moments have been left on the cutting room floor, they are also quick to share with the fans a new song on the DVD, which is aptly titled "Coming Home." "There's new music on the DVD. It's the song, man," Knight shared. "It's amazing. It's the soundtrack to the whole DVD. It's good. It's a great song."
Joey added that the song was originally intended to be released a while ago, but life, as it turns out, isn't always that simple. "It's actually one of the first songs we wrote [for The Block]. The song is about coming home — big surprise there. For whatever reason, the song didn't go on the record," Joey explained. "We thought it was cool and it just fit the theme. We're excited about it."
And who was behind the decks for this masterpiece? "Brian Michael Cox," McIntyre said, referencing the producer of hits like Usher's "Confessions, Pt. 2" and Mariah Carey's "Shake It Off." "So pick that name off the floor that I just dropped."
Alright, let's not get sassy Joe. You don't want to know what happened to the last celebrity who did.
