check please respond. today how larry king now the jonas brothers make joe and kevin jonas they're here with a new album the new sound the new hairdo we're coming back after three years of not making music together and a lot of life lived in between that let's make this feel like the first time over when it comes to criticism you have to take it in stride you know i think you can either let it really get to you and there's times where it really does first of all you have a kiss and it is a.j. how will we i was i was the i was a late bloomer i was sixteen first kiss is sixty sorry larry that's all ahead on larry king now. welcome to larry king our special guest

a return visit for me with the jonas brothers the grammy nominated artist of soul twenty million albums worldwide the eldest by the way of the group is only twenty five years old nick joe and kevin jonas join me today their latest single first time is out now and their fifth album aptly titled five will be out this fall august a big month not only the seventh anniversary would debut album but joe you were twenty four years old so an important two thousand and i did the interview it at the cowboys new stadium on live well you guys opened that stadium right there were december for we almost didn't go because the rigging wasn't set up properly at the show yeah so two days before the opening of our tour was one of our biggest at that time you know we're all excited and we show up and like the show might not happen. and it was a very moment now you know mary jones hearing all right what brought you guys split up tell me the story of his cabin you split up in the back with yes we all need some time to live a little bit a life and you know enjoy that. and grow and go on your own journeys and each one

of us did some individual projects nichols was able to do or more broadway was able to do how to succeed i just finished a movie nick and joe as well did solo projects i was able to focus on a t.v. show the wife and just be at home and be a husband for a little while which was really nice and then when we started writing coming back together in new york it just started to click and it didn't click right away it took a little bit of time we spent a year doing this album and we didn't want to rush through it we didn't want to make it just in churned out want to make it special to break up most of the bad split right now known it wasn't so much a break up in our minds as it was just a sort of transitioning and a need to sort of take a step back after about six years of sort of being right in people's faces for so much time and also for us you know we turned on i think four records and four and a half years so when do they want to be joe did you think it was over for good oh i didn't know i kind of figured we'd be getting back together eventually i wasn't sure how long i thought of actually would be

a lot quicker than the three years but it was the perfect amount of time and kind of made the audience hungry and for some new music all the fans still was fanatic able nor have they grown up and mature a number of published leaving that they will crazy dad they they are still as intense it's just they're a little older and so i think the the intensions have changed a little bit as well which is funny but it's it's an incredible thing to have the kind of fans we do you know they're passionate they're enthusiastic and they really follow us on the country we've had some fans come to almost every single show on the entire tour we just finished which is is incredible. what was allowed to come. i was a great feeling you know we had given birth work together and we needed to take time so women came back it was that much better for the first time was in the studio and it was actually in my home studio in new york. you know resource down said we've taken some time what are we feeling is is next up for us musically and

try to start with the music and let the rest sort of carry itself out but. you know it's it felt good to be back and to know that we'd be in front of the fans at some point again and it took about a year before we started touring but you know we're really really blood given to stay with us to it tonight let me finish in l.a. tonight and then hopefully turning back around for the fall run music changed quite a bit of music changed nick produce this whole record so that changes a lot for us we dive into the record when we're starting to write and just the way it sounds as just really unique i think from anything we've done in the path what prompted the title first time is that one of the tunes yes one of the songs symbolic does it have space on you i think you know it's the song itself as a song we all worked on together in when we were writing and it really just had a moment. i think just had a moment of. finding the next step in each each moment you know focusing in

on you know the first time in this the first time in that and you're enjoying the steps and when we are writing a kind of started with nic and the track in the studio. yeah you know the idea was sort of like a modern day take on fleetwood mac which was a big concept for the album or a big clue with my fans and this one particular stem from everywhere one of my favorite songs of theirs and the idea was you know we're coming back after three years of not making music together and a lot of life lived in between that let's make this feel like the first time all over again giving a pin just hope to over all the success you guys. absolutely knew it was i was right you were kids it was we were kids going into that there's some experience that i think you might be going into a new look back you know while i definitely take that for granted in the moment when you're walking into the white house and you're performing with in front of public carney or something something bizarre that seems just like a dream come true so there's a there's a lot of pinching going on especially now and going back into it realizing how much

work you've got to do and and the crazy busy schedules and when you're i mean even four years ago we you know we did the coffee now it's like our guard cups are full every day all day you get carried away with it kevin. your egos get a little blown away i don't think so i think it has a lot to do with where we came from and we also are extremely appreciative of what we have especially now you know being able to take a break and come back and still be able to make music in tor and have a fanbase act that is in a still receiving what you're putting out is incredible and i think we're just really honored to get to do when to tour to yeah i think we fall into into winter when you know we have a new member of the family coming pretty soon you so so we have to because if you do right after the new year like january and january so you know holidays and then the new year world will probably be a little quieter just with that happening but up until then we're going to go on hard and try to be in front of our fans do you have

a steady girlfriend. are you going to marry her wow come on that's over the house when you ask me. well you have to go out on the twenty fourth and it's the baby when you get married oh wow. she might not be watching yes right every watch might be in the room there you never know and i think we're taking our time we're enjoying this time what about young mick what about he's he's yet to times four times we're divorced i think now five fives five it's hard account is that hard to count with anyone you know i will be on been single for about two years and. dated some people but not have been in a relationship and you know well what do you think is it you got time yeah i think i got some time at twenty twenty. guys why did you leave hollywood records which was owned by disney well you know i think the time just came as we grew and as our sound was evolving and where we sort of saw ourselves and five to ten years the

vision was different than what theirs was and we had a good relationship with them and did a lot of great things but it was no longer right was the parting ok. it was it is a it was a mutual decision and luckily we had a great run with them and this time doing our own it feels kind of brand new and just like we spoke about earlier our song first time kind of represents a little bit too and doing this by ourselves we also left with our masters which is really really rare. so we you know we're in a great position now being our own label and sort of making the decisions we can be really creative without we release old music and the music did you guys used to wear purity with. whatever i got married was none of them really speak about too much and sparingly personal and so we keep it to ourselves being young and getting a hit there are downsides that aren't there wasn't hard to live in

a real world when you say when you say get a hit what do you want to be you're famous and you don't yet you know is there is that when there's actually can be downfalls in that and you see a lot of people in different areas like to go to a different direction and kind of focus on the wrong thing but for us i think it was all about the music and always has been and it's just you know we've enjoyed that part of it and they haven't focused on that when. i think there's moments that lancaster had you feel like. you're unstoppable but doing it with your family it's got brothers that will like you know knock you out of here if you get a you had to get super eight or whatever. and that's why it's nice to do with family those who does the writing by the way we all do and we are part of the writing and i produced his last record which was a great feeling for me to really take on that responsibility but the writing is a collaborative effort. what was it like by the way to play at the white house

think out of all you know it's a dream project really good thing you know hey jude on stage with paul mccartney in president obama's column those moments you look back on and you have the letter from paul you know thanking you for the event and you know the picture of you guys doing it and it's just it's kind of surreal you know it's an incredible thing it is surreal he played piano at my house. and sang along with my wife playing the piano with amazing. mammy looked in the set it's just so real it's got to be it's got to be on really take me back to getting the catalog how do you get that normally they don't give brings up easily you know and and it wasn't easy you know we had a lot of conversations with them and hollywood and disney and the play from we there was a deal yeah there was a deal but it was good on both ends it's not like. it was one sided anyway on our end or there's you know but we definitely you know we had to agree relationship

with them until that point so there was it was a friendly conversation it's the name of the new label jonas enterprises. oh regional going into parts or are you going to sign other acts and know where they are so that actually has a couple different artists that we really like we find interesting right now is trying to get this record out and focus on our project and then once it's out there and start writing producing for other artists you have your own studio in new york i've got a home studio it's nothing crazy but it's enough to get interesting sounds out have fun with your dad still very involved in a small the i think you know he's taking a more of the father role these days and be able to sit back and not managing as much i think for him it's it's as we get older there's things that probably. you know for a father might feel uncomfortable for him not to dive into so having

a set of managers that kind of have a particular role for us is i think important in the stage of our career and joe having a dad important. coming up we've got a couple of surprises up our sleeves for the jonas brothers who would not want to miss this. on their way to antarctica the crew of the i could to make sure that a face many challenges. here you have to look out for yourself crushing on to rocks trapped in pack ice in extreme conditions anything can happen and dark to go always comes up with surprises you have to keep your eyes open because there's always something going wrong the ship carries huge reserves of water food fuel as well as helicopters and people able to survive extreme conditions they're ready for anything even an apocalypse she's really an incredible ship calling all

larry they gave me an extra card hey guys hey john it's really it was up just about every minute it's been a long time yeah i say next time we have three things rather quick that we want to cast philippines on you guys since you know me to something that i never. what he knows about you so really quick three things yes these are all true yes. nick jonas yes actually a red sox fan i know that you know you call yourselves the jersey boys our stuff but he's actually a diehard red sox fan and i read stuff is great because you know so we easily partly communities are techniques that kevin yeah. i'm sorry man i got to throw to the bus that's actually all those those girls nice and tight there that's actually a perm yeah is there a straight in the board perfectly straight and he's got to get at least once a week to keep those you know nice smells really bad everybody has to clear out and joe apparently got a small glass or joe has around our stage at least once every show to use the facilities it's like clockwork yeah so they're going to happen it's not happened so

every night it's it's amazing so that's three things you probably didn't know about and you know it's about us. i was in the group comedy open for the group on tour and it was what they said right about it so i know he's that he's heard it so we've been going at it this whole summer and you know about the red sox and it's actual but. yeah it did it. well we got a brother i think i do we butter on stage every night i definitely run but it's funny they play with all of us on stage. and there's a song that nick plays by himself on piano so i've time to doubts about two minute and thirty seconds so i know how far i can run to the bathroom it's a long show is about an hour and a half you drink a lot of t.v. for the show so when you get on stage you're going to use the rest of the time in a perfect with you premiere yeah the perm is it's a terrible thing for everyone it smells terror is a team that travels with very people here and you partied with my friend ryan

seacrest you got real on your own reality show we did a show with ryan on in each which was great it was called married to john s. and we've had a lot of fun doing it doing reality shows very unique interesting thing takes a lot you know. you love the warts and all do bad things and yeah of course you know you have to have to let it be you know if you're not doing that and you're not doing a good enough job i think our whole thing going into it was saying if we're going to do this we have to be real and we have to show the good the bad and the ugly so we you know what kind of baby you're having boy or girl we're finding out this week for sure well we got a gift for you oh really just. you take it out. there you know before you go with some of these love oh this is incredible yeah. that's incredible it's things you so much yeah amazing what your girl will go a little everywhere they go were absolutely they anything goes that's incredible

thank you is there an excuse any name of it's a boy we have a couple names we haven't really told any ordinary. yes. we do have a lot of great like names that are already in the family so you know we've got joe nick frankie mikey we've got a lot of real or not new names like laffey it is the new knowledge i like it most. always mother calling the sun bluff he had. thought about girls' names i got a couple as well i like i'm up i have a couple like in the pocket i really like so we're going to be a good uncle nate i think so we'll find. you nervous for your brother i mean a little i'm just excited to watch him polish hair out at some point it's really fun we get to sit visit we can play with the baby and just give it back that's the best part. you're going to be good of girls yeah i think you know nerves kevin. and obviously there's a lot of unknown is but you know that comes with the territory merge looking

forward to it do you guys get nervous when you go on sometimes you know what there are some instances were i will get nervous and i never used to accept it and just sort of you know resupplied enough shows and possibly nervous but you know some of the some of the shows were some that we had meyers in the audience or going to the broadway stuff that i did i was really nervous but all in all the parents. you first then umbro we were little nervous very nervous not so much that i would forget lyrics which i did but not now that i would forget the words but but it was just it hit me right before i went up because i was hoisted up to the base of the top of the theater at the start right oh as the window washer and i had this moment i realized oh my god i'm starring on broadway show it's a lot of pressure and that was there the nerves were eight shows it's so good run plus a lot of great shows a level yes it was you get it was joe when you got to run through. if. i have

headphones in and i can hear him saying his song on stage so i know he's enclosed in the song and then finishing up the battle like the really big problem. i think when when you perform at award shows it always gets you because you're looking out there and you see familiar faces you see i mean artists artists that your peers your peers and whether they respect your they don't you got to give your all and that can be a scary thing how do you over the years when people criticize you and they're always in music business career i would you handle binocs people would make critics would make fun of the jonas brothers and it all depended for me what it was about if they were knocking the music i always thought that was interesting because they had this idea that it was manufactured you know because we partnered with hollywood and the disney they figured like most of the models for the for that that it was manufactured when in fact we were writing our music and a big part of the recording of it so they had it wrong had it wrong so when when people are wrong and they're criticizing you and you know it there's facts i think

it's way easier to accept it you know brush your shoulders off and keep going but when it's more. you know just criticism for the sake of being a critic it gets a little annoying and for us you know i think we've come into this next phase with the mentality of what what were some of the common criticisms and things about our band that we could work to improve because you know we had law a. success and we were still very young without a lot of time to master our craft any critics hope you do your job or really criticism you say that's a good point i'm saluki i think sometimes in our early on we love to just jump around stage and with all of those had to move around i think it was something a lot of critics would pull from a show or say that they felt like there was so much high energy and it started to fall off towards the concert so we just felt like let's just tone it back as now we're back doing this were just like me about the music we stripped away a lot of our staging and

a lot of like the big performance pieces that we had and we just said let's make it about the music and that's what the story's about i grew up with it i agree with joe i think you know when it comes to the criticism and you have to take it in stride i think you can either let it really get to you and there's times where it really does you know speaking honestly i'm i know that i've let things get to mean i think sometimes what's harder is reading what people are saying about you know online like just people can write whatever they want even i critics and i bother with some of the letter your old exactly so you just have to learn to live with it and i think learning how to live with it is an important thing that is an instant thing everyone's been given a voice no social media and people that he was recruited there's no reason for their opinion to be valuable but it is some of it is that yeah i thought i was big with two and a half million followers on twitter but mick has seven million joe has six million kevin has over three million and nick you recently tweeted out a photo of yourself shirtless you're looking healthy let's look at that look at

that that's now that's i think you took that from me what were you yeah oh yeah there was so we got the whole idea exactly. well you look at you look who are really great you have diabetes so i do have one point i mean he's. got the whole idea behind the photo was basically to. bring some courage and inspiration to people also live with diabetes both one and two you know because it is tough to live a healthy life and stay in shape when you're a diabetic and you know work is there wouldn't be organized i've got a pump pump so i still have to do it myself but i have a pump which makes that is a birth no i was actually diagnosed when i was thirteen so coming up on eight years we have some social media questions for you and one or two of them are on video my question is if you could name kevin's baby what would you call it and kevin would you accept this is your baby's name let's say it's

a boy what would you name joe ralph ralph raul ralph nader and so the nice friend joe. i'd probably go with. jonathan jonathan i like that next question up on the boards perms known as bathers and his neck oh i don't want to know what are some clothing gifts you've gone on this tour. thing this a girl who's come about three shows who every time she brings me a gold rose this is a really rotten carrot her gold dipped rose twice three times three times and she really she is actually a she she is a senior at georgetown university and i see the process of probably that president of school she's pretty and she's the senior george down and she said joy rose i mean rose and simon among the ten he was sort of about a metre i mean i don't know right now you know i got shows a lot of my mind but the roses and ice. and other heard it all right we have some
