THE DIRT ON NICK! (Smash Hits UK)
Kevin : Nick's
real young and hyper. I wish I could be as carefree as he is. The
downside is that sometimes he doesn't want to do the serious
stuff. My way of winding Nick up is to correct him in front of
everybody. He's the clumsiest in the group. That's because he's
grown so much in the past year - like, three feet! ( He's only 16
and already six foot!)
Brian : He's like the little brother I never had. I can teach him
and help him with things. He's come a long way and he's very
mature for his age. If I was doing the things he's doing at 16, I
don't think I'd have handled it as well. But he's very
competitive when we play sport. I'm a little bit better than him
at basketball right now, but when we play, he plays so hard that
he gets frustrated. He reminds me of myself when I was that age.
Even now, I'll get mad when he beats me in a Nintendo game.
A.J
: Nick's a real prankster. Last tour, he put a sock filled with
different odds and ends that really stank (he won't reveal the
exact contents) behind the drums, and during the show, it started
smelling real bad. Revenge is being plotted as we speak...
Howie : He's full of energy when he wants to be, but he doesn't
always know how to focus his energy. He's also very grumpy in the
mornings, and when he gets in his nagging moods, being young, he
slaps you around the head! Worst of all, he totally hogs the
Nintendo!
NICK'S CASE FOR THE DEFENCE:
I admit it - I am
addicted to Nintendo! I play sports games and adventure games and
role-playing like Final Fantasy 3. I can't always do what I want
to do, like play basketball, because I can't go outside the
hotel. So when I play Nintendo, I enter a different world and
relax.
NICK'S CONFESSION:
I don't have many
friends. I just have these guys.
WE KNOW:
He listens to country music! Then again, he listens to
everything! This is what we found in his CD case: AC/DC, Bone
Thugs 'N' Harmony, Oasis, Kriss Kross, Prince, Tom Petty, R
Kelly, Jodeci, N-Trance, Lenny Krawitz, Mary J Blige and Nirvana.
