[MSTAR111]

240p. we meet again...

[rebbe1000]

I haven't found any good new music out there anywhere; with the exception of The Hives. They ROCK!

[ClubDominoEnglish]

Wikipedia said that the guy on the 0:22 is Randy Fitzimmons...

[MexicanGnomes]

Somehow my musical taste includes Classical Music, Geek Rock (typically about zombies), and The Hives. They are just THAT good.

[conraydo]

@MexicanGnomes geek rock? can you name some bands, please?

[MexicanGnomes]

@conraydo I Fight Dragons, Jonathan Coulton, Lemon Demon, They Might be Giants, Talking Heads and Devo can all be considered "Geek rock". It's a pretty loose term, though.

[superlost90]

Pretty kick ass song

[mclvstac]

cool

[TheJerodMayo]

i hate these ads

[Caaaaaaate]

[ShuklaInToonTown]

[adamgod8]

watching this makes it feel like it was 20 years ago

[FunThieves4]

i feel like these guys could have been prominant in any decade. they have a truly-timeless sound.

[sydneyfucko305]

I love this video so much, that I would trade my pvr with all my south park recordings AND my shampoo just to get it on my walkman, but sadly, that would be impossible because it doesn't play vidos dx

[zezcentix]

I remember in elementary school, getting up and putting this on my mp3 player and getting ready. Now, I'm a freshman in high school, and I still listen to this while getting ready, every day.

[Posdrums3]

@zezcentix You got great taste kid

[chat099]

Stuck in ways of sadistic joy, my talent only goes as far to annoy!

[deatheclipse123]

[DelbyC]

[LucyLovesIceCream]

[zimzima888]

Great tune also sounds a lot like some stranglers records such as bitching

[HeathsHarleyQuinn]

Have Love will travel people! This is a rewrite! The Sonics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VacLateralus]

@HeathsHarleyQuinn Indeed, they ripped off The Sonics... ! :D

[Gretsche87]

The Hives brought me here.

[Cgrrp]

1:12 best noise ever in musical history

[idiotboyfred]

@Cgrrp I think he beat MJ...

[jormangrunge]

@Cgrrp 1:15 tooxD

[sassaralovemusic]

Nån annan svenne här? :) Btw The Hives Rocks!!!! :D

[ItsRamboJackson]

We all know this came before Green Day, so drop it. lol The Hives wrote this riff and melody first in 1999. Green Day used the riff and melody in 2008, and that's fine. But whoever keeps saying Greed Day wrote this in 1997 needs to hit up a history book before I start becoming a main offender...

[AhQueOnche]

Not even a million of views? I was expecting a lot more. o_O

[LastManStandingZ]

@AhQueOnche man this is not like commercial shit that we have in these days

[TheRadeonguy]

Thumbs up if ur still listening this song in 2011.

[CaraAsoleada]

[ConorNickerson]

@Nookie691 100% cant say it better

[Scaar81]

240p ?COME ON PEOPLE ! what's going on with the people... i can't believe jonas brothers have more views and better quality videos than the hives, the white stripes and rock bands of today... i'm not saying pop artist sucks, because MAYBE they don't, but they are so OVERRATED

[Corporatism]

@Scaar81 it's 240p because it was uploaded in 2007. all youtube videos from 2007 are 240p.

[ninga10000]

anyone notice pennywise the clown a 1:00 on the billboard it scared me.

[MudkipnTreecko]

My Friend Always Tells Me To Shut Up When I Mention The Hives,SCREW HER!!!

[andsystem1]

[MegaArthur2011]

Hives é foda , punk rock de qualidade, aprende Restart !!!

[MultiPeaceboy]

i brought myself here .

[3strikeconv0ke]

@MultiPeaceboy Another Hives song brought me here ;)

[RangerYorki]

@MultiPeaceboy good music brought me here

[carale1986]

@MultiPeaceboy Incorrect. I created hives, all kinds. The band included. That rash you had when you were 9? Yeah, that was me. The raw spot your dog gnawed at till he bled—that too. I drank half the river of time dry before you were ever born. I'll drink the second half later today, if I feel like it. I am your father. I invented your every faculty of thought, including your taste in music.

I brought you here. Seriously, you're welcome.

[nge1301]

I like Green Day. I know pretty much all of the songs and there is none that sounds really like this. Horseshoes and Hand Grenades is a little similar, but is just a few chords in common played in the same key.

[thenegatives12]

randy is left-handed... 

[reese545]

The Hives remind me of Iggy Pop

[jockojonson17]

Old green day is cool. Everything since Insomniac has been shite.

[assplash15]

whAAAA mee?

[Scaar81]

240p sucks for the hives :(

[ClubDominoEnglish]

Press 6, just do it :D

[14oscarz]

green day said that they got there idea for horseshoes and hand grenades from this song. but you know just saying

[WhoMadeWho33]

1:12 sound i made when i got hit in the balls the other day lol

[sydRod00]

Perfect Guitar tone!!!

[darthspicer2]

Totally influenced by The Sonics

[Ninja9191]

The first few chords remind me of "psych rock". Anyone knows what I am talking about?

[emzibobthestrangest]

Come Dine With Me brought me here...

[18grifone93]

ahahahah "CuULo" are the last letters of the link

italian wil understand

ahahahaha

[pnenathan]

thanks EA press conference for this song :)

[AndresPetMonkey]

Thumps up if EA press conference brought you here

[nickswright1]

unlike @questionnoanswer, i can hate green day and love the hives

[jplew138]

Yeah, you can kinda hear the Kinks in there, but I think they were much more influenced by the Stooges.

[ScorpiousMagnus]

Mmmmmmm-Kylie lol!!!

[jetsonic69]

THIS SOUNDS LIKE GREEN DAY HORSESHOES AND HAND GRENADES :) ANYONE NOTICE THE SAME GUITAR RIFFS?

[ClubDominoEnglish]

@jetsonic69 Just listen on Green Day and then listen on The Hives before you say that The Hives sounds like Green Day! To say that Green Day sounds like The Hives is like to say that Justin Bieber sounds like Nirvana^.-

[Devill3d]

DHIS IS MAHH MAYN AFFENDIRRR

[cakeforhandsErik]

Howlin' Pelle is so Mick Jagger I love it

[TheCookify]

Sup with sweden being so god damn epic?!

[Hyouretzusan]

You know, The Hives it's not just another Garage Rock band. Their music it's quite influenced by Rock n' Roll, and this song reminds me a little of "all day and all of the night" from The Kinks.

I don't care about Green Day (I'm my opinion, sucks).

[Hannibalonthejazz]

@Hyouretzusan Sounds a lot like the Sonics' "Have love, will travel" in my opinion. From the drum rhythm all the way to the song melody.

[Gretsche87]

@Hyouretzusan

Yeah, you can hear alot of the kinks in the Hives. Also, The Sonics - "have love will travel".

[apemanstreetwalker]

Who the fuck could not like this????

[MugPetReviews]

hi, i like this song very much. bye

[morenolenni]

hurricane 2011 !

[GuyNamedCarl]

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOVE the Hives!!!

[DeedleDeedleDumplin]

Luv The Hives. Who doesn't ?

[RodrigoSaint07]

Fuck yeah! XD

[MsJessicaPM]

PEOPLE

Green Days song was written before this one and besides that they freaking know each other its cool calm down

[HampusHjertstrom]

@MsJessicaPM "Main Offender" was recorded in 1999, and (if your referring to Green Days "horseshoes and handgrenades") horseshoes and handgrenades was recorded in 2008..... so i dont really see how "Green Days song was written before this one"

O_o

[MsJessicaPM]

@HampusHjertstrom the song was written around the Kerplunk area which was released on January 17, 1992 so it was written before this

[HampusHjertstrom]

@MsJessicaPM but then why wasnt it released until 2009? and since it wasnt released until 2009, the hives had probably never heard of "horseshoes and handgrenades"... i guess what im trying to say is that unless you publish/patent something it cant be plagerized... btw how do u knw the song was written around '92? any sources? jst curious :P

[MsJessicaPM]

@HampusHjertstrom they have said in more than one interview thats its an older song and they also said a member of their team liked it and wanted to put it on 21st Century

[NiceGirlCalledMia]

So strong! I love this song as hell!

[iluvgreenday666]

wow before i read these comments i thought that i wood have been the only 1 who noticed that horseshoes and handgrenades sounds just like this. well i guess there r tons of people who noticed. anyway i love both songs and instead of debating about which one is better, why dont we just enjoy this song? if u like horeshoes and handgrenades better go 2 that video. and if u like main offender better listen to this video. and if u like both then listen 2 both. but stop arguing cuz its really annoying

[TheJayman213]

horseshoes and handgrenades isn't ripped off from this. the two don't harmonise and wouldn't if you changed them to be the same key.

this riff's share one three-chord progression out of like 8. anyways the melodies are completely different. so why bitch about this when there are songs, that are far more similar? like the black eyed peas' "where is the love" sounds alot like natalie imbruglia's "torn" to me in the chorus. and it's not just the same chord progression but also the melody...

[ikvindaapjesleuk]

Green Day ain't a rip off band. This beat doesn't really sound the same, both bands are good !

[arinross523]

@ikvindaapjesleuk Green Day blows chunks...biggest sell-outs in rock history, however, are masters at producing cheesy rock so i guess they got taht goin for them. oh wait, that's a bad thing. At least they have Weezer to take some of the stink away from them

[ErickJett]

why are people talking about greenday?? greenday is a piece of shit band that make their fans think they are real punkers. greenday is not real punk and neither are their fans. Fuck Green Gay.

[TaffyRaphie]

Have Love Will Travel...

Thanks Sonics!

[solidpack]

Main Offender ♪ ...

[iThingy66]

THE HIVES TRIBUTE BAND - THE OFFENDER

good vision.

[Almikaification]

53 people still think thats original?

[greendayrocksmuch]

@questionnoanswer Nope...they didn't rip it off....Horseshoes and Hand grenades..was written back in 1997...they just decide to revive it...and besides...GD and The Hives are good Friends ^_^

[86RockandJock]

@greendayrocksmuch Main Offender was released as a single in '97.

[greendayrocksmuch]

@86RockandJock really? i thought its was released in September 3 2001? and recorded in 1999..

[ItsRamboJackson]

@greendayrocksmuch Bullshit, Horseshoes & Handgernades was written by Green Day in 2008 you liar. But they are good friends.

[greendayrocksmuch]

@ItsRamboJackson i'm not a liar!!! Billie himself said it was an old song!!!! and they owe it to Butch Vig for reviving it!!!! damn watch Green Day talks about Horshoes and handgranades!!

[screenscanner]

@questionnoanswer just try a bit harder. they are shit!

[Terrystearsatlfc]

@questionnoanswer horseshoes and handgrenades you mean? Not really ripped off I think just because of the chords..

[TristXD]

@questionnoanswer Yeah! sounds like East Jesus No-Where

[ohgravity1000]

@questionnoanswer i think the hives were influenced by green day, not the other way. because green day has been around since the late 80's early 90's. but dont get me wrong i like the hives but green day's "horseshoes and handgrenades sounds similar but better in a way. you should listen to it. but the hives are still awesome:)

[unknwnZERO]

@questionnoanswer yyou're talking about horseshoes and handgrenades right,yeah im guessing green day kinda copied the song,i also like green day

[1guitarkid]

@questionnoanswer greenday suck so much balls

[UTFRG]

@questionnoanswer i hate green day

[napoleon503]

@questionnoanswer How did Green Day Rip This Off? Their songs sound nothing alike

[DjropMusic]

@napoleon503 they kinda do tho. the main guitar riff that plays is the exact one used in Horseshoes and Handgrenades. play them next to each other.

[IBTS13]

That song just blew my mind but in a holy shit dicks thats a great feeling way, lol.

[FillMoreGan]

The hives are a real punk revival band, they make Fall Out Boy look like Just Bieber on Whizz.

[WolfieboyMachi]

Wait.... There are actually people who DISLIKED this? O_o

[MarijuanaGood4U]

good god they suck

[Tompettylady601]

@MarijuanaGood4U what do you mean they suck they rocks

[ohgravity1000]

sounds like green days song horshoes and handgrenades

[lamerbill]

@ohgravity1000

fuck u and fuck green day ):DDDDD:(

[ohgravity1000]

@lamerbill umm im just sayin tht it sounds like but u kno wat go fuck off cuz green day will beat the hives anyday i like the hives but green day is the best, most famous, and most awarded just lettin u know:)

[lamerbill]

@ohgravity1000

yesss lol i know most pop bands and pop singers got lots of great and cool awards

u just stick with the flow im sure one day u will learn to appreciate other human beings

[ohgravity1000]

@lamerbill u stick with the litlle bands im sure one day ull appreciate the ppl big ppl in life tht influence most of the bands u listen 2

[lamerbill]

@ohgravity1000

u know i rather stay true to myself

and i dont think that green day happens to be influencing the Hives, but i admit that they do contributing to the dead of punk rock

but then again who cares about good music these days anymore right?

[ohgravity1000]

@lamerbill well apperently u dont if stickin to yourself is listenin to the small bands in this world of good music

[lamerbill]

@ohgravity1000

i dont think pop and pop punk are good music, but then again that just my point of view :P

[retrojetband]

@ohgravity1000 green day may be a huge band but all there influences were small punk bands

[procrastinator300]

I hear some big Mick Jagger influence in his vocals

[mrtuffguy911]

These guys are truly awesome. It is very rare when you find a relatively modern band with so many good songs. With more music like this, we might be able to survive the century.

[richardg136]

the hives are from sweden

[cahtopher]

i don't give a shit about at&t..let me watch the damn music video.

[audiostratus]

Leave it to european bands to revive good ol' American rock n roll lol

[mikk231]

@audiostratus good old american rnr the fuck u talkin bout this sounds like the stones and the sex pistols

[LTcookiecrew]

thanks to The Hives I was the coolest 8th grader. haha oh 2003 was a good year

[66gadus]

not many bands can capture that essence of the 'punk' sound - these guys have got it perfectly - raw yet melodic yet slightly discordant & nice & punchy too! brilliant!

[FlandriaKid]

backstabbing regards ! genious

[enne13]

I don't know why but I don't get tired of this song .

[dustinkstnachkot123]

fuck off with your " x people are justin biebers blalbal" bullshit

[whitenoise97]

i suppose on the plus side, i had fun whilst my ears bled (sorry speakers)

[gtazogger]

"The" infront the bands name is often a sign for good music

like in this case

[y0ug0tSNIPED]

OMG!! I totally hart all the rockband songs now! Dis is like my new fav song XD
