the "meat and potatoes" thing is a analogy, referring to something as "meat and potatoes" is the same as calling it ordinary or plain... I believe americans use the word "vanilla" similarly
"That was five minutes with: Hej vi är rockbandet The Hives från Sverige, och ni lyssnar på 92-3 k-rock from 923krock" (or however you say that k-rock thing)
I know seriously! by the way they act here you would never guess that it is them on stage when the preform. they are so energetic on stage and really mellow afterwards, but that might because they are tired, but still. HIVES RULE THE WORLD!
Hmm... I am pretty confused about Pelle's accent. When he is speaking in this interview, you can really tell that he's from Sweden. But, in another video, from a show in Seattle, he was introducing a song, and sounded almost american... :S
I think it's because when youre a different accent, like swedish, its hard to learn a language like english because theyre so many accents, like; london, northan england n american. So sounds like to me, he's learnt an american accent, so thats why its kind of all over the place. Lol.
maroon 5 is good for the hives in the sense that The Hives get in some nights where they get to play a half hour & take it easy.....playing their typical set every night would burn them out a lot quicker

I agree that Maroon 5 is good for The Hives.. I'm sure I'm not the only one who had never heard of them until they toured with Maroon 5. Now they're definately one of my favorite bands.
"I think the UK thing, thier whole obsession with breaking America is because they never do it."
What??
Has he heard of The Beatles? Or Coldplay, The Jam, Led Zeplin, Radiohead, Sex Pistols, the bloody Spice Girls?!!
I'm a HUGE Hives fan, and I adore Pelle, but really, how effing ignorant...
