The Hives - Born To Cry

[NucularTheArtist]

I prefer Johnny Thunders version over this, but still pretty epic

[Jiancor21]

dang this is smooth

[sharkabilly]

the original is by Dion (without the Belmonts) in 1962.

[Olekrok]

this band is the best thing to come from Scandinavia since th cheese slicer

[PatrikLarssonRang]

Now to a little something about our nordic mythology, Howlin'  Pelle ate Thor.. Now they are the last gods of scandinavia.

[Manell14]

The original version is by Dion & the Belmonts, is that right?

[James16921]

Way too fast. I think The Hives are a pretty good band, but this just doesn't cut the mustard. It feels sloppy and rushed.

[bleedinspleen]

@James16921 youre too slow and retarded for this song, quit talkin shit and tap your toes queerboy!

[James16921]

Way too fast. I think The Hives are a pretty good band, but this just doesn't cut the mustard. It feels sloppy and rushed.

[peterchoyce]

YIKES no credit at ALL to DION? Whattaya expect from a bunch of corporate rockers??

[HowlinAdamJames]

@peterchoyce Whenever they do a song live they always name who its by. They sing this on their live DVD and they say its by Dion and the Belmonts released in 195? It's called born to cry. They Hives have a massive amount of respect for great bands or they wouldn't cover their music. Don't be an idiot.

[saligiaX7]

It´s messy and raw and I really like this version, better then JTs. I like the original the best though. Remember it´s all about personal taste, no need for insults. I think it´s enough of that in highschool don´t you think?

[ClubDominoEnglish]

The Swedish The Beatles xD

[lamerbill]

@ClubDominoEnglish

to me these guys are like swedish ACDC lol XD

[swaggassault]

@ClubDominoEnglish the swedeish gods

[thecountofbasie]

As good as they may or not be, gotta say this one's a total misfire...the chorus and instrumental break ain't bad, but this one just insults the original (and even the Johnny Thunders version)...sorry guys

[CFFDan]

epic

[bleedinspleen]

@merioc2k3 Chuck Berry and every other son of a bitch that picked up a guitar back then was robbin every black blues man to play before them. Music has always transgressed through the ages, so to call chuck berry or even the hives (@ siewen1) true rock is a fuckin lie. How can you say that one band alone can define rock.

nonetheless this song is truely great rock n roll and deserves a big thumbs up.

Hives or bust

[thecountofbasie]

@bleedinspleen 

[siewen1]

Great song love the hives 

[MultiPmedina]

the hives are the greatest!

[buddyeagle]

@MultiPmedina ARE GREAT S.H.I.T.

[Merioc2k3]

This shitty band shouldn't mess with Johnny Thunders music. They fuck it up.

[HowlinAdamJames]

@Merioc2k3 Never speak of my band like this again. The Hives are Law, you are Crime.

[Merioc2k3]

@HowlinAdamJames I'm sorry for telling the truth.

[HowlinAdamJames]

@Merioc2k3 They have been called the greatest live band on the planet by magazines and have one of the best front men in music. This band is rock n' roll in a world of pop. You should respect that they know what kind of great song this is, and took the time to let others hear it. This is a great cover.

[Merioc2k3]

@HowlinAdamJames The Beatles has been called the greatest rock band of all times. I still consider them to be shit. Also, who said that they were the greatest live band? Rolling Stone? I have no respect for that magazine, they just praise whoever is popular. A world of pop? Popstars come and go every few years, rock is eternal. I do respect them for knowing how awesome Johnny Thunders is, I love JT, but I still consider this cover to be shit.

[HowlinAdamJames]

@Merioc2k3 Spin Magazine. Who have actually gone to concerts, it's their job to review bands. The Beatles, shit? Cmon' i'm not a fan of them either but even i know that their one of the best. You probably hate Elvis, Led Zeppelin, and The Doors as well...Isn't Johnny Thunder a cover too? I thought this was by Dion and the Belmonts.

[Merioc2k3]

@HowlinAdamJames Well, I still think they suck. And I don't hate, I just dislike Elvis, Led Zeppelin and The Doors. And yeah, I think it is. I fucked that part up. I'm sorry, I was kind of tired.

[siewen1]

@Merioc2k3 if you hate this band and the doors and elvis (don't blame u really for elvis) and pretty much everything else that made rock get it's start, then why don't u just switch over to pop or gospel and quit trolling those trying to enjoy this?

[Merioc2k3]

@siewen1 That fucking failed. That's like saying that you can't like rock unless you like blues, cause blues is what started rock n roll. Lrn2argue.

[siewen1]

@Merioc2k3 actually, i don't need to "lrn2argue" since i'm not a trouble maker. I'm only stating facts. If you have issues with all the different rock bands that gave rock it's fame, then perhaps it's not for you? So instead of trolling like a whiny snot nosed, punk...gtfo, find something you like and leave the rest of us in peace. Or hey, stay on here and troll and prove me right..doesn't matter to me ;)

[Merioc2k3]

@siewen1 No, what you said was completely incorrect. Just because I dislike the Hives, it doesn't mean that I can't like rock. You're not stating facts, what you said was a suggestion. And yes, I am a punk.

Staying here will not prove you right. But hey, I might teach you how to argue!

Btw, a trolls trademark is resorting to Ad Hominems, like you did, so if anything, YOU'RE the troll.

[siewen1]

@Merioc2k3 a troll is someone who starts shit. If you don't like the vid/song just give a thumbs down and leave. Obviously you don't get enough attention in real life. It's really quiet sad and pathetic. I won't say anymore to you since all I'm doing is fueling the troll flames. But ya if you can't like the classic sound this song brings, then you can't really like true rock. All true rock has that classic sound to it.

[Merioc2k3]

@siewen1 Of course, what "starting shit" means varies from person to person. Apparently, stating an opinion that conflicts with yours is "starting shit" to you.

And then you jump to conclusions.

Also, you say that if I don't like this, I can't like true rock. I have a few things to ask you now...What is true rock? Wouldn't true rock be the Chuck Berry kind of rock, since "Johnny B Goode" has been credited as the first rock song ever?

This barely sounds like that kind of rock.

Again, lrn2argue.

[H0wlinPelleAlmqvist]

Hives version is best

[MoffeAnimal]

Tey gotta pretty fine B-sifdes

[ClubDominoEnglish]

Good song:)

[Enysvar]

Dion is the best.

[handskarav]

no original so much better

[0hypnotoad0]

This song makes me totally deaf. I love it :D

[theemceemurdah]

this was their best

[raynap]

dion dimucci's original in 1962 is the best. great early rock song. great lyrics for an early 60's song.

[NiklasARSON]

look up dion and the belmonts the original makers of this song not johnny thunders

[NiklasARSON]

this song is awesome especially when they play it live

[Fubicken]

I agree, but I think all of their songs are better live :D, well the songs are awesome not-live as well but... you know what I mean xD :D

[helpsmoshout]

why does it always say b side in the description?

[nikepls]

bcs they are the b sides of the album of single. mainly singles have b sides. these songs are rare and unreales most of times

[gregoryagogo]

Nice turntable hum!

[PurpleNimbus]

What a cover !

The Hives ! ! ! !

[faberr12]

jesus, someone decapitate this guy, what a fucking mess...

[helpsmoshout]

douche alert!!! sound the alarm!!!!

[rocknrollporn]

not a fan but at least they dont sound the same as everyone else and they like johnny thunder's songs

mabe someone will start searching for the real deal after seeing this

[LeLimeLine]

Seen it. Hives are phenomenal.

[elgulcho]

this is sheer crap.

[PinkFairy1961]

Poor Johnny, spinning in his grave upon hearing this hot mess. Gag me.

[rocknrollporn]

this isnt even johnnys song

[LeLimeLine]

Lol.

[studio249]

Dion song, killed here. R.I.P

[Gnomenggg]

bad sound kills good music :/ only me think that the audio on this clip is shit?

[valdrich319]

It's a replica of the old stereophonic sound technique that popular in the 60s.

[SpeedLimone]

What kind of shit is this? If Johnny was alive they wouldn't have balls enough to make this version 'cause he'd piss in their mouths. God of Rock'n'Roll, give us the strength to stand that bunch of shit-eaters, condom-chewers, the hives are.

[mudhens4ever]

Don't hold back. Tell us how you REALLY feel. (As for me, I thought it sounded terrible. But I'm old now and am not into poorly recorded noise.)

[LeLimeLine]

This recording is fucking amazing. The Hives did beyond justice to Dion.

[mudhens4ever]

To each his own, LeLimeLine (are you a baseball player?). I like Dion's better. Mostly I disliked the quality of this Hives recording, whether it was intentional or not. But the "Born To Cry" I like the best is the version by The Junkyard Dogs, which I've not been able to find on YouTube but can be purchased on either iTunes or Napster....or maybe both.

[LeLimeLine]

I'll check that out, if ever I can.

And, no, I don't play baseball, but I used to when I was twelve.

I personally love the quality of this recording. Dion's is haunting. This is raw. Brutally raw.

I think people give it a bad wrap because Pelle's voice is a disaster at the very end.

[mudhens4ever]

I agree....the Hives' recording is raw. I asked if you were a baseball player because of your YouTube name - LimeLine.

[LeLimeLine]

What does LimeLine mean, or almost mean, in relation to baseball?

[mudhens4ever]

When the crew is getting the ball field ready for a game, they draw the white lines the field from home plate to both 3rd and 1st base, and maybe beyond to the outfield fences. This used to be done with lime (or at least so I'm told), but something else may be used now. Anyhow, draw a line with lime and you get a lime line.

[LeLimeLine]

Oh wow. Lol, that's amazing how appropriate my username is to baseball. It refers to something else, actually, mainly Harry Lime from The Third Man.

[syrovision]

This is a rare miss by the Hives. Def not good.

[sprallas]

this is a dion song, not a johnny thunders song..

[hallogrosse]

Johnny thunders-'i was born to cry'..

[syrovision]

Its by Dion

[ClanSkyre]

Pretty sweet

[JoeKersten]

This has to be one of the worst covers I've ever heard.

[kaiserschon]

they dont give a damn!! they rule!!

so its a honor for the original singer that

THE BEST BAND AT LIVE IN THE WORLD

makes it!

[HanoiRocksWhore]

HONOR!? this is a fucking DISGRACE. Johnny Thunders=Legend, Hives=POP SHIT. They call themselves garage rock, they are so f'n polished and SELLOUT, making music many bands do better but whoring themselves to f'n radio. it's called GARAGE rock for a reason, guess they misheard.

[mikoress]

Excuse me, Why do not you shut up and respect a little group, which also has its right?

[mikoress]

It seems that one of the liveliest xD

[JoeKersten]

That has nothing to do with what I said, this cover blows.

[pavonismons]

PSH please. JOHNNY THUNDERS. These guys only WISH. They probably cry more oft than not

[kaiserschon]

crap = you

[TheJohnFisher]

for ppl dat says dis songs and johnny rules, at least u could just say i like johnny better. no need to diss the hives.

[cinemaster777]

YES!

[gurufuttlappele]

BS ... the song is from dion

[MaxJagStang]

this is a b-side cover, people! the hives actually wrote stuff!

[teenangel69]

this sucks!!!Johnny's better by far!!!

[MaxJagStang]

johnny sucks, this one is by far more of a swinging rock song!

[dregen13]

You're right dude!!Johnny was a real rocker,what are these???

[Dammelin]

"These" are the rulers of the world, cuz The Hives are law, you are crime.

[penthouse10]

check out Johnny Thunders version...cool

[mudhens4ever]

I checked out Johnny Thunder's version, and I agree - it's pretty cool. But he looks ill.

[penthouse10]

I agree...he looks like death warmed over. Not one of his prettier videos but he was still Johnny Thunders and he was still terrific.

[JoeKersten]

He was, the heroin had take over and he was going into the early stages of lukemia.

[MaxJagStang]

great song

[perogieluver]

FANTASTIC.
