[aeromacin]

[OiSkaMadness]

[asyyz]

Kick ASS!

[isamtheman87]

i agree "It's not a good Hives show, if nothing explodes!"

[MajorJakobs]

This is Garage rock. If you don't like it not sounding all perfect and crystal clear, then go listen to some freakin' Nickelback or something! Garage rock is loppy and beautiful!

[ToolsnFire]

@MajorJakobs you don't even know...

[ToolsnFire]

Yo, this is crap music for real. Dammn this is awful shit. No joke.

[MajorJakobs]

@ToolsnFire Trollolo

[Caidan44]

@ToolsnFire I believe there is troll among us.

[ToolsnFire]

[adsyoffinch]

[werever2morro1000]

[werever2morro1000]

@SuperAndrew411 i´m sorry

[yourown99]

[ggn6]

@yourown99

No, Jagger is the old Pelle.

[MsTheHives]

@yourown99 Mick Jagger is the old Pelle!

[cornpopsandacid]

@yourown99 he is the new iggy pop too!

[1708Sean]

only one band surpasses the hives' live shows, that band is gogol bordello, noone else even comes close.

[Rysi250]

@1708Sean Have you been to Prague City Festival?

[smalltalkful]

4 people exploded, gutted

[mancrab191]

ballon at 4:00 green

[lastnite91]

gawd he is by far the best frontman since mick

[elefantkaputt]

only band i know which manages to literally make a guitar DROP perfectly timed^^

[Muayyad28]

One of the best live bands I've ever seen!

[MrZombiekeks]

I can just say they get all in the right mood. Very good entertainers ...:)

[PettRamn]

Justin Bieber is Pelles son!

[riffmeista69]

@PettRamn Only if Pelle took a poop, seriously.

[chellovack]

that's some high explosive guitar

[pierricklovesmusic15]

that's why they are the hives !

[GuitarGuyandDrumDude]

amazing band. especially live!

[ToplessArt]

That guitar drop is one of the best live antics I've ever seen.

[loulou6901]

Monstrueux ! Oo



[666qwerty1]

The hives, not my favorite band but i can really say the coolest fucking band in the world... they could be carrying pink purses with dinosaur stickers and still manage to make it look cool

[Lautre56]

4:08 Jim Carrey

[sassy808]

6:01 Pelle winked at someone in the audience. Cuteness.

[MrJoeStrummer96]

just a word. AWESOME

[thecrazyclown1011]

the song in friday the 13th

[wangsta25]

the hives should hav played the Superbowl halftime show

[howlinlevi2]

Dear Youtube, Fuck you for thinking Im a computer!

[thecrazyclown1011]

it sounds like dick dick boom

[kezboy1]

one word: Epic.

[travelingspirit92]

Wow, as good of a song, that dudes arrogant.

[andord123]

@travelingspirit92 It's all part of his persona, it's a stage act.

[omgimdiaray]

Oh my God... awesome.

[NelsonClick]

Best live rock band in the world! This video proves it.

[olarrarra]

excelente ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[thePEOPLEperson1]

COOL BEANS VERY COOL BEANS

[natalie20136]

Pelle  looks like jim carry and moves like Mick Jagger

[rsl84416]

@natalie20136 I was thinking the same thing

[AlarkaPT]

I love how the guitar player drops his guitar just in time for the "BOOM" :)

[emilyf413]

why are we even talking about muse here? i absolutely love both bands and the comparison never came to mind...

[joshuaneilherbert]

Who gives a fuck about muse, they are good,

but this is a hives video, and a damn good one at that.

[whitewidow1981]

Wow !, you really got what you pay for when you go to their concert !, what a live band !!!!!!

[AndzikD]

this guy can sing on live



[Fender150fr]

what does he say at the beggining of the song right before it starts.

[caesermoood]

@Fender150fr joy green

[pettah93]

@Fender150fr Troy Greene :)

[punksoldiers31]

The Hives is a punk rock band not a pop band like Muse ...

[ThebigJBIG]

@punksoldiers31 Muse aren't a pop band, despite what their last album might give you the impression of.

[maDa3k]

only the hives can make a open chord sound that good in the intro.

[stekareen]

Sveriges stolthet...

[flappimkrn]

it's like an addiciton

[OSV2536]

haha my mom just said these guys are insane.

[AAXDrums]

@OSV2536 Your mom must rock.

[LTdrumma]

i love how he throws his guitar and it hits the ground same time as the "boom"

[audiovana124]

AWESOME!!

[WolfWarHeart]

6:03 EPIC END!

[TheLondon627]

what does he say before he sings. he also says it in the real song.

[Leogrox]

@TheLondon627 Joy Green



[FreaknFreddy]

@TheLondon627 Troy Green, boom

[SPKasabian]

"It's not a good Hives' song if nothing explode"

[flappimkrn]

i wonder where they get all their energy

[wangsta25]

i hate it when people say "they're so good their live shows sound exactly like their albums." A live performance is about capturing everything that couldn't be done in the studio; which is intensity, excitement, and audience participation. The hives live performances don't sound anything like their albums, they're chaotic, exciting, and brilliant

[VicRattlehead79]

@wangsta25

I couldn't have said it better... one of the best live bands



[OSV2536]

@VicRattlehead79 the best live band.

[wangsta25]

about how long are their shows?

[skipcharlie]

One of the only true Rock & Roll bands left. Awesome

[arklat]

Is it 8 tick tick ticks, and then boom? This act is like a mix of the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, The MC5, and the Surf Punks. Pretty cool!

[maxdog68]

I saw them at The Eurockéennes, it was at least as great !!!!

[G4ME5PY]

Man! AWESOME ending!!! I love the way the guitar hit the ground at just the PERFECT moment!!! :o

[DX4LIFFE]

6:07 PERFECT guitar timing WIN!

[ChowderHole]

hes either on drugs or hes pissed there

[mok0s1]

the got quite MADer when I saw them

[IndependentVictor]

The singer is a mix between Ben Kowalewicz ( Billy Talent) and MIKA

[smautomat]

Gotta love the perfectly timed guitar drop!

[MrTorbiarz]

The Hives Poland (Gdańsk) 04.07.10!

Dont miss it!

[axxxel8888]

The Hives is a garage rock band and Green day is a punk band, why are you guys comparing them?

[ClubDominoEnglish]

What country?

[rortes]

see you guys on Heineken Open'er 2010 !

[elvisfan22]

Dude, Green Day is old news!! They were good for that shitty 90s bullshit, but the Hives are totally the only GREAT rock group of today!!

[rsl84416]

I always envisioned them playing through full stacks. But no. I'm sure they're loud enough.

If they're from Poland then why are their songs in English?

[rsl84416]

@rsl84416 Or Swedish rather

[Dope999]

What are you guys talking about!? Green Day sucks big time O.o

Awesome song btw

[ToplessArt]

What a fantastic intro

[soeasyforbael]

Meilleur concert que j'ai vu de toutes mes années aux vieilles charrues, EXCELLENT !

[forward0954]

i still think green day is a notch better but the hives are definitely one of my favorite bands of awll tiame!

[HowlinAdamJames]

@forward0954 June 8th The hives and Green Day will be in Finland together. The Hives will blow them away, but it will be a great show. Wish i could get my ass to Finland :(.

[forward0954]

@HowlinAdamJames lol The Hives have nothing on Green Day. That's why the Hives are opening.

[HowlinAdamJames]

@forward0954 Thats why Green day also stole from the Hives. Horeshoes and Hand Grenades is a rip of Main Offender. The Hives are like no other live.

[forward0954]

@HowlinAdamJames

Chords:

horseshoes and hand grenades: B D E AF# B A G#m G

main offender: D G Bb C A F G

And don't you think the guitar in walk idiot walk sounds unusually like the melody to can't explain by the who? don't tell me who rips off who.

BTW, i love the hives, just don't talk sh*t about green day.

[14981498]

howlin = ian curtis and mick jagger and btw to sollydarling how can u looking forward to a muse concert to end..... damn these ppl!!!

[SollyDarling]

@14981498 how can I ? Well that's simple I loathe their music and hate their attitude onstage and all those light & sound effects..

to me, if a band is good, they don't need all that shit onstage.

[MultiFirebrand]

thees guys are just raw energy

[Eruals]

I want to know the name of the only one person who doesn't like this video o_O

[Y0utubeIsFuckingHomo]

Dick,dick,dick,dick,dick,dick,­dick,dick haha

[johnny41sum]

best band live EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[therollingstonesbe]

What did he say he asks for your what?

[MrTheAwall]

money and their hands in the air

[brynglet]

@therollingstonesbe Hahah "We ask for your money, and we ask for your hands" hahahah! I love them!

[KricketOchKrabban]

soooo perfect timing when he drops the guitar at 6:04 !! soo amazing show!

[balee94]

@KricketOchKrabban imagine the practice of it he must have killed hundreds of guitars... :D

[camtisler]

chris dangerous is so awesome

[gigonek7]

[jovus]

[Zagman177]

[MaarTyGuit]

Tin, j'déteste ma mère !!! Elle y était. J'aurais trop voulu y être, ils sont phénoménales !!!

[ChrisLeNegro]

on s'en fout de ta mere :)

[bmoney2011]

best part of this video : "We must now make something explode!" lol.

[ThaHives]

complete Dr.matt Destruction ignorance

[ASBTCR]

TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK BOOOM

[yeahyeah488]

speechless.....

[elpelonescalante]

Muse and The Hive, both are great, different genders ... peace !

[XR3DxX]

@elpelonescalante dont u mean genres?

[TheFreemanist]

@elpelonescalante

Different genders? I think you mean genres...

[Profy00]

@elpelonescalante Different genders ahahahahahhahahah

[geelove3]

this performance made my day :P :D <3

[SollyDarling]

Hwo can anyone compare the Hives with another band? Especially with Muse ? i mean i saw both and as soon as i saw the hives, i fell in love with their music wheread i was looking forward to the end of MUse's set... and i was at the front row for both shows but well.... anyway kindda stupid to compare bands together, they are all different and that's what is brilliant !

[TheTjChannle]

@SollyDarling the hives is kinda like blur from the 90s

[SollyDarling]

@TheTjChannle oh no not blur.. they are themselves isn't that enough ?

[wolfgar45]

say wha?

[NiklasARSON]

i wish i knew nick and vigilante's amp settings

[maDa3k]

saw them yesterday... they are insanely good live!

[foetus4all]

Aw, if I ever go to a gig, it'll be a Hives one. :D

They have to play Abra Cadaver though. :O

[hongkongphooey13]

Abra Cadaver is my favorite song, but they don't play it anymore :-(

Best live band ever!!!

[upperclasstwitofthis]

just back from werchter... hives where were you!!! ;(

[FalconedFilms]

It was Spin magazine and at least he is honest: we want your money and your hands in the air!!

[kozimoto93]

IM not sure which magizene it is but theyre considered to be the best live band on the planet

[HowlinAdamJames]

it was spin magazine. but they bumped them back to 8th....such bull shit!!! Hives are the greatest live band on the planet.

Now, Then, and Forever The Hives

[dcampbell12910]

nahh muse are better

[HowlinAdamJames]

Muse sounds like Jack White with a massive case of retardation. No energy what so ever. Dont ever compare them to the hives again.

[dcampbell12910]

im gonna compare again, hives are okay but nothing to muse, muse make a bigger sound with 3 people whereas the hives have 5? im not saying every band with more than 3 members are not as good but matt is a better front man than this howlin guy even with an instrument

[HowlinAdamJames]

bitch please!!! Howlin' Pelle Almqvist is a great frontman. He can play an instrument, but he does enough with his speeches, jumping, clapping, spinning his mic, patend leg kicks, freeze's. Muse are 3 ppl with a big stage with no umph. They suck i was excited to check them out and was let down, Matt is highly overated along with Muse.

[bmoney2011]

hurr..someone's never heard of Muse.

[HowlinAdamJames]

lol i checked them out way over rated. Big stage, small performance, no energy, their a weak white stripes (Jack blows them away as well). Hives are the greatest live band on the planet.

[xCheezyNoodlesx]

How can you say that? Watch the Wembley performance of Muse playing Knights of Cydonia, then honestly tell me they have no umph or energy. And either way, Hives and Muse are COMPLETELY different bands. You cannot compare them at all. :)

[gravediggmn]

this is one of the few bands that dont suck live

[ginahives]

pelle's right... is not a good hives show if they don't sing tick tick boom

[surfeygirl08]

6:13 was my favorite part....hahaha ;)

[LibenaS]

ace live =)

[080Muffin080]

Yes, I understand they did come to Canada a while back... ITS BEEN A LONG TIME! WE NEED YOU BACK!!! People are loosing their minds over all this depressing music, and things with no excitement. SAVE US HIVES!

[tigerlilyify]

EXPLODE!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!

[GreenBlood32]

COME BACK IN CARHAIX... I wasn't here, and i regret... =(

[silverarrow379]

God I love The Hives.
