New band asked him...
British boy band The Wanted had an interview with MTV in which they talked about their US tour and getting advice from Justin Bieber. The group is made up of Max George, Tom Parker, Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness and Nathan Sykes. They are managed by Bieber's manager Scooter Braun.
Max George on the US tour: "Unbelievable, like we never expected it. The States is one territory in the world we always wanted to crack, and that's like the ultimate. It's been amazing."
Tom Parker on the response from fans: "It's all been really quick, actually, and we've only been over here for a week and we've seen it grow massively in just a week. Well that's the power of the Internet; social networking crosses over into so many different territories that for us it's been crucial."
George on American audiences: "The American fans are so optimistic, very intense. They're just really enthusiastic. I get a massive buzz off American people. I think it's really refreshing."
McGuiness on their plans for their shows: "I think just don't go expecting the perfect, polished, most beautiful set of things ever. Basically it's five guys and this absolutely rocking band. Our band is badass and we sing our heads off and it gets sweaty."
On their US tour wrapping up: "We were always hopeful it would go as good as it started off to be. But you never know how a new territory is going to react. I feel like there is an element of luck involved.
George on Justin Bieber giving them advice: "I think he's too humble for that, in that way. … He's not someone that really gives advice, because I think he just appreciates what happens to him rather than thinks he's God. And so, I mean, we don't really talk music. When we speak to him, it's more we talk about football or basketball."
McGuiness on Bieber: "I think he knows that we know how to do what we want to do in the same way that we could never tell him how to do what he does, 'cause he does it a lot better than we ever could."
