Human Nature: We kick off around mid-April, no specific dates yet, but we should know soon.
Interviewer: human_nature_spirit_girl: Hey phil! Are the other boys with you? and, if they aren't - then where are they?
Human Nature: No, they're not with me... as far as I know they're probably at home, getting some well earned rest!
Interviewer: EwYn: How long have you guys (Human Nature) been together?
Human Nature: WE've been together for just over 12 years now.... since the end of 1989!
Interviewer: Prophecy_: How does it feel when you turn on the radio and you hear one of your songs blasting?
Human Nature: It feels great! It's really cool to maybe look at the car next to you, and see that person in the car singing along! LOL
Interviewer: <>Do you all enjoy doing rehearsals or are they real hard work?
Human Nature: Some rehearsals are really enjoyable, but there are others that can be a bit tough... it depends how energetic you're feeling. But they're never terrible!
Interviewer: Cutie_pie: What is it like on stage performing?
Human Nature: It's an unbeatable feeling! Definitely the best part of what we do!
Interviewer: CaliGirl: Hi there, I’m Vanessa and I was wondering if Human Nature were ever planning on breaking the United States and touring, especially Northern California for my sake… LOL thank you!
Human Nature: We haven't released anything in the United States just yet, but we're looking forward to doing so one day..... keep your fingers crossed!
Interviewer: EwYn: Do you have any songs you're working on, that have yet to be released?
Human Nature: Not at the moment... we're too busy preparing for the tour. But we'll no doubt have some songs very soon for the next album.
Interviewer: September_Gal_HN: I really love your new songs but are you ever going to start releasing any songs that are like your old ones?? Like 'Wishes'?? and... I love you!
Human Nature: Who knows what we'll come up with next?? I suppose tastes vary as you go along, but we may come out with something like 'Wishes' one day.... who knows????
Interviewer: CaliGirl: How does it feel to know that you have fans that support you all over the world, even ones like myself, in the United States, who buy all your imports and love your music?
Human Nature: It's fantastic! It's always been a dream of ours to get our music to as many people as we could, so to hear that we have fans around the world is just amazing!
Interviewer: <>Is there any chance you guys are going to be putting out another video any time soon?? Or in the future?? The first one ROX! bring on number 2! :o) ??
Human Nature: We'd love to bring out a video soon, and there's a chance we might have another one out around the middle of the year. We'll let you know!
Interviewer: hnrockmyworld_babe: I think dance music is really popular at the moment, you should release another song like 'Always be with you'?
Human Nature: Well I suppose 'Always be with you', being a new song, is kind of the direction we're heading.... so in the future, there could be more songs of a similar style...
Interviewer: <>Hey Phil this is probably a bizare request but I've listened to you guys since I was 11 could you pleaz ask Tobes to come to my formal?!
Human Nature: I'm not sure if he'll be able to do that.... but I'll most certainly ask for you!
Interviewer: <>Where did Mike get his idea of the eyebrow?? It looks so cool!
Human Nature: LOL - Mike's been able to do that since he was little... and he's loved showing it off ever since he found out he could do it... so I dont' think it's anything new!
Interviewer: `KeLz`: Hey Human_Nature are you going to do another duet with John Farnham?
Human Nature: No plans to do it yet, but if the right song comes along, we would love to... as he's such an amazing singer!
Interviewer: Prophecy_: What the most bizzare thing a fan has told you? or done to you?
Human Nature: ummm... we got mooned by 3 fans in Denmark once, and they actually told us later... that they meant it in a nice way! We're still trying to figure out if they were telling the truth! LOL
Interviewer: SweetHNgirl: Hey, if your career as a singer didnt work out then what do you think you would be doing now?
Human Nature: Lying in the gutter.... begging for money! LOL NO, I'd actually probably be a music teacher, seeing as that's what I was studying at Uni!
Interviewer: <>My mum said it takes guts to walk up and sing acapella not knowing whats gunna happen... well done for the big break!
Human Nature: Thank you very much! It does take guts... but I think it is a lot easier when you have a bit of an idea about what's going to happen! LOL (It helps if you know you can sing in tune to start with! LOL)
Interviewer: Br0nN|E: I saw you on stage at the first Fox FM beach concert - what was it like meeting Joanne and Invertigo there?
Human Nature: It was nice - it's always good to meet people in the same business... you always have something you can talk about! ie. music.
Interviewer: September_Gal_HN: Could you please update your website soon!!!!!!!! It hasn't been updated since december :) and do you check your fan mail and emails yourself? Please be truthful because sometimes I need to ask someone about things like the Fan Club.
Human Nature: We do answer all the emails ourselves, but Fan Club questions are handled by the Fan Club President. Sorry about the website - we're still learning how to update it ourselves, but it will be updated soon!
Interviewer: hnsally: How did you come up with Gemini and Shakaya as your support acts?
Human Nature: They're 2 brand new acts that actually asked if they could be part of our tour, and we're more than happy to have them come along. Can't wait to see them onstage!
Interviewer: CaliGirl: Who do you think asks the most original questions? Fans or media, because I've heard singers say everything they're asked is 'cliched and old'!
Human Nature: Sometimes the questions are pretty cliched and old.... fans tend to be a bit more personal, and the media tend to focus more on our work.... but they've both been known to come up with some clangers at times!
Interviewer: ^Lily^: Mike, do you remember one of your music teachers called Mrs Barnwell ? If so did she influence your career ? She is my music teacher and she said you were talented from the start!
Human Nature: Sorry, Mike's not here... but I will make sure I ask him when I see him next!
Interviewer: hnrockmyworld_babe: I heard there was some contreversy with Bardot, they wanted more stage time or something which was weird because I heard cause it was Human Nature's National Tour?
Human Nature: No, there was no dramas - Bardot have always been the support act, and there's never been any problems with it.
Interviewer: ZaN: Hey Phil, how come you guys havent been to Adelaide for like 11 months! You've got tons of fans down here and WE MISS YOU!
Human Nature: I know it's been a while, we actually miss Adelaide as well - it's one of our favourite party towns!!! Which is why we're so looking forward to being there in March.
Interviewer: SweetHNgirl: I heard you support someone for World Vision is this true?
Human Nature: That is true. We've sponsored a few children..... over quite a few years now.
Interviewer: KerrieH: Hey are you guys going to visit your fans in hospitals like you did on the last tour??? As a Starlight kid myself I really think that is the most beautiful part of how special you guys are.
Human Nature: Funnily enough - we actually are doing that on our tour - but we hope not to see you there! :) (I mean that in a good way!)
Interviewer: Redmonstar: Do you guys ever get time just to do what you want to do?
Human Nature: Not at the moment, but we generally do. We do have time to do our own things, it's just when we're busy like now, that time is pretty short.
Interviewer: Prophecy_: When your performing whats the one thing fans can do to make you really enjoy yourself?
Human Nature: Make lots of noise!!! All it takes is a lot of reaction from the audience... the louder the audience are, the more fun we have!
Interviewer: Br0nN|E: when you started in the music industry - did you think you would get this far?
Human Nature: It was always a dream, but we never had a specific goal... which I think is why we're still going, because there's still plenty of things we can still do!
Interviewer: stace: Hey Phil , I was told by someone, a while back, that they saw you in a pair of speedos, saying "spank" is this true?? ;o)??
Human Nature: LOL - yes, that's true! (It's a brand - not an instruction!) LOL
Interviewer: im_here: is Human Nature going to do an appearence on Toby Allen's t.v programe??? and when is it going to air???
Human Nature: Not sure - it hasn't been brought up yet... but it would be kind of fun to come up with something! If only to see how Toby can handle interviewing us.... LOL
Interviewer: [KiMbA]: Where do you guys get your inspiration for your songs from??
Human Nature: They come from a lot of different places..... whether it's a situation you're in, or a situation you've seen, or just something you've imagined in your head!
Interviewer: shellhn: Are you guys going to be doing any interviews/performances on TV leading up to the tour?
Human Nature: Yes, we've done a few interviews getting ready for the tour, but no specific TV performances have been planned just yet. Keep your eyes open though!
Interviewer: September_Gal_HN: In the newspaper at the beginning of last year there was an article saying that Mike was getting married. Did that ever happen?
Human Nature: no comment
Interviewer: hnsally: Is there any talk of you guys being on Neighbours or any other drama shows?? I wanna see you ALL act :)
Human Nature: We actually were on Neighbours last year, and that would have shown you how we really can't act! But there's been no plans to go back there just yet.
Interviewer: victoria_19: Which place in Australia has been the best place to perform?
Human Nature: I have to say the hometown is always a great place to perform, so Sydney always sticks out.... but when it comes down to it, anywhere in Australia is a good place to perform!
Interviewer: SweetHNgirl: Do you still get as excited when you get on stage as when you were just starting as HN?
Human Nature: Definitely - it's always an amazing feeling getting up on stage, and it hasn't waned once in the whole time we've been together!
Interviewer: hnmunchkin: We read you were starting your own music publishing company. What does it involve and how's it coming along?
Human Nature: It's coming along great, basically we're trying to nurture new talent in the industry. It's called Song Shed Australia.
Interviewer: hnsally: Phil, is there any chance of you guys doing the celebitry challenge at the Clipsal 500??
Human Nature: Probably not, because you have to do a week of training first, and we're too busy on the tour to do it! (damn!)
Interviewer: CaliGirl: Many bands have strange routines they go through before a show such as prayer, and NSYNC does hacky sack, is there anything special Human Nature does before going on?
Human Nature: Usually we sing through 'People get ready' and make sure our voices are all in check, and ready to go.
Interviewer: Thanks Phil, we hope we can chat to you guys once you hit the road, so you can tell us where you are and how it is going!
Human Nature: Can't wait to see you all on the tour - we're all really looking forward to it! Hope you're there, and in fine voice - ready to sing along! :)

mrs_mike_tierney says: Mike what is your favourite human nature song?
Phil and Mike says: At the moment He Don't Love You .. I'm really getting off on that.
Kritter says: Michael did you have fun filming on neighbours set? and what was it like mixing it up with the models from 'search for a super model'?
Phil and Mike says: Well yeah it was fun, all the cast were great and really different. All the models were so tall .. I felt like a dwarf, nothing against dwarfs though.
morEBam says: How different is the new album from the others (sound wise?)
Phil and Mike says: It's got a bit more of an urban edge, it's a great pop album. It's a bit more art sounding, a bit more of an urgency to it.
SeptemberGal says: Hypothetically speaking, what will become of HN if one member of the band were to leave?
Phil and Mike says: I can't see that happening in the near future. If it was to happen it would only be for a short while; we'd always come back together and stay as a group. .
KatherineHN says: Are you planning to perform at Carols by Candlelight this year?
Phil and Mike says: No, we're going to be spending Christmas with our families this year. We'll be traveling around Australia in the beginning of December promoting our new album.
I_LUV_MIKE says: Which musicians do u admire and look up to?
Phil and Mike says: Oh, George Michael - he's fantastic. Prince, Madonna and a new guy I like is a guy called Craig Davis. .
Angel_of_your_heart says: Which concert on the tour 2000 had the most energy? (please say Melbourne)
Phil and Mike says: ok .. I'll say Melbourne then! The first show in Melbourne...they were all great. .
Angel_of_your_heart says: What were you studying to become before you left school?
Phil and Mike says: I didn't go to university, I did all the regular school subjects. Toby wanted to be a Geologist. Phil was studying to be a music teacher. .
i_luv_hn says: do u guys get any really obsessive fans?? And wots the weirdest thing a fan has done??
Phil and Mike says: Some girls fared their behinds to us in Denmark, this was a few years ago. I think this was meant to be a good thing. .
leishy says: How many of the songs did u guys write on the new album???
Phil and Mike says: We wrote about half of them - 7 or 8 of the 12 on there. .
SeptemberGal says: What is Human Nature's ultimate wish?
Phil and Mike says: Gee, to have a number 1 album for Christmas and to take our music around the world next year...that's our short term wish.
Leah_EarthAngel says: Mike, if you only had one day left to live, how would you spend it?
Phil and Mike says: Gee, that's a bit morbid.. I'd probably go and sit at the Opera House and look at the Sydney Harbour and watch the sun go down.
janinecx says: would any of you consider making a movie, now that you have done a bit of acting?
Phil and Mike says: Ooo I don't think so. Going in Neighbours is one thing. I think I'll keep my acting to one episode for now. .
hn_gal says: Whats your fave song on this new album, and is this the best one so far do you think?
Phil and Mike says: Favourite song is probably When We Were Young. I'm not sure, we think this is a finest album. I guess it would have to be.
Lisa says: what are you looking forward to most at the moment?
Phil and Mike says: seeing what the fans think and getting everyone's feedback.
gongchick611 says: You guy's are coming to wollongong on Saturday will you's be doing a performance or just signing autographs?
Phil and Mike says: We'll be signing copies of the new single. .
Mikes_my_Angel says: He Don't Love Me is my favourite song that Human Nature has ever sung....where did you get the idea for that song and whose idea was it???
Phil and Mike says: It was written by two guys from England, so it wasn't written by us. We recorded it in the day in London. It came together so well.. we're really happy.
HNsally says: where is the best country you have visited?? and other than Australia where would you live??
Phil and Mike says: I love the Scandinavian countries, they're so beautiful. I could definitely live in New York, and would like to one day.
midnightshimmer says: Phil and Mike, what was your first job?
Phil and Mike says: I don't think Mike has ever had a real job :-) I used to pack beer into a cool room in a liquor shop, I was even to young to use the cash register.
September Gal says: Having been together for more than 10 years, do you guys now feel like you've gained three brothers?
Phil and Mike says: Definitely, and we just keep getting closer and closer every day.
Naturebabes says: Is it true andrew is going to be a daddy???
