The Hives - Live (Letterman) - Walk Idiot Walk

[marvinishimals]

pause at 00:45..mick jagger

[n1cklass]

2:36 sounded quite weird at this Liveshow though ...(at the moment when they stop and change sound and pace)

[MRglodlampa]

@n1cklass I thought that was cool :)

[n1cklass]

related to the drummer :)

[Connojack]

fuck off everyone comparing the hives to the strokes.

they are so different in many ways and are equally my favourite bands so shut the fuck up!

(with a slight Hives inclination due to seeing them live and being brought almost to tears now every time I think of it)

[rapidtightgroup]

About time the yanks watched some talent.

[Andreasleon27]

eat that america!

[MrForeverForward]

@Andreasleon27

I really dont want to start start some ridiculous xenophobia war so all im going to say is The Strokes. Eat that.

[TOMSTAN100]

@MrForeverForward Th Hives > The Strokes

[2missbookworm]

@TOMSTAN100 The Hives > The Strokes, When they perform live :P!

[TOMSTAN100]

@2missbookworm i agree, julian is a shit singer live 

[MrForeverForward]

@TOMSTAN100

He has shows where he can be a bit off. His lyrical style doesnt permit for the same mistakes as most.

[MrForeverForward]

@2missbookworm

If you want to see a really great live band, I suggest checking out Howler.

[S7re7chdude]

Proud to be swedish!

[lyla40s]

MICK JAGGER, iggy pop AND LIAM GALLAGHER

[flumberg]

så jävla braaa!

[Rysi250]

I love the way Letterman says THE HIVES!

[Bigjondotorg]

members from the hives, the vines, the strokes, the white stripes should make a rock supergroup album. best bands from the early 2000's by far. miss the naughtys (00's)

[The1977Punk]

@Bigjondotorg Don't forget The Libertines

[JBLedZep86]

I'm sorry I get what they're trying to do but they're annoying as shit. I hate how they act onstage, especially the drummer

[BardiaD]

I think these guys are cool, but Pelle is trying to hard to look and act like Mick Jagger.

[drunkandmisguided]

Love the Texas/Pilgrim ties <3

[ClubDominoEnglish]

just 200 00 views to 1 milion. C'MON GUYS!

[Hageltrast]

I say thank you for upload, with my swedish accent. ;)

[stlcards9000]

when did Cory from Pawn Stars get in a band?

[CrayzMark]

always been more fan of the vines.... but the hives, u can tell that they bring the energy and performance that alot of bands cant even come close to would be pretty bad ass to c them perform live.

[TheTomtah]

This has got to ba the worst place they have ever performed and they still keep up the energy!

[ForbiDD3N5cryp7]

ehh



[MrBratfuchs13]

nice song. but did anbody know how this song in the end is called?

[dudemeister013]

Thank god for swedish music

[rush2795]

i like that little mic trick he does in the beginning :)

[TheMadjive]

this band is great, this tv-show sucks

[iisabelt]

Gotta love Pelle's crazy eyes

[ClubDominoEnglish]

The solo is really Rolling Stones

[bschaus]

Chorus isn't quite the same without the bells.

[TheErikDane]

Fuck David Letterman

[ig09able]

its like the rolling stones all over again except grunge/ hard rock

[Paulie818]

THE HIVES FUCKEN ROCK AND ARE A GREAT INSPIRATION TO MY GUITAR PLAYING

[88Hotballz]

saw them at splendour last week- best show I've ever been to. shame the audience in this video sucks ballz

[pugskreationz]

the guitarist is sick

[aznazor1]

i just came back from seeing them live; i am covered in sweat (most of which is not my own) and bruises. I had to look up more live videos because it was by far the best. live. show. i. have. ever. seen. Pelle is as close to being a god as anyone can be

[steamymarie]

jagger swagger

[The1977Punk]

please, does anyone what guitar it is? 0:38 - 0:40

[farberification]

@The1977Punk its a Epiphone Crestwood :p

[1988bluemoon]

Jagger's Sweeden Semen

[zxcv7890]

3:53 Yeah the... There ya go! That's it! That's all we're looking for! How bout that, Paul? The Hives, everybody! Nice going! I enjoyed that, sir! We'll be right back. Good job!

[vuppeli]

hahaha that fat mess looks so amazing with small guitar :D

[erwinruys]

Why does Letterman say The Hiiiiivvvesszz. . It's the Hives.

[dexterjankaren]

Thats really good!

[TheRockerInside]

Letterman got good taste

[mrfiggins]

I saw them in 2001 at Metro in Chicago and it was unbelievable. I get why they were called the best live band. He has a mix of Jagger and Iggy Pop.

[H0wlinPelleAlmqvist]

@mrfiggins in 2001 they came to Chicago!? wow how did everyone respond to them, did they know who they were?

[GollumSupernova]

Thank sweden for being such a awesome musicplace

[Skarre2]

@GollumSupernova A product of Swedish public music school. :-)

[Mongo2451]

@GollumSupernova

No prob

[mackex98]

@GollumSupernova Thanks! The Hives is from my neighbour city!

[GollumSupernova]

@mackex98 Varsågod

[ClubDominoEnglish]

@GollumSupernova är det sant att The Hives är sveriges största rockband?

[ClubDominoEnglish]

@GollumSupernova är det sant att The Hives är sveriges största rockband?

[TheSwedishEagle]

@ClubDominoEnglish The Hives have been touring so much in Europe and especially USA recent years, so they haven't quite got the same hype here in Sweden. But they are problaby one of our five biggest bands overall, I would say.

[ClubDominoEnglish]

@TheSwedishEagle 5 största band`? vilka är de andra 4? :O

[TheSwedishEagle]

@ClubDominoEnglish In Flames, Meshuggah, Millencollin, Roxette, The Knife, Robyn, Europe, Cardigans are some of them. Not all of these are "rockbands" though, but we have a great export of music, that's for sure.

[ClubDominoEnglish]

@TheSwedishEagle Idag så räknas Roxette, In Flames och The Hives som Sveriges 3 största band. Europe var större förut. Sen kommer Mando Diao, som är ett av Sveriges minsta band.

[erkjan]

@ClubDominoEnglish

du glömde Opeth

[ClubDominoEnglish]

@erkjan Ja, nåt sånt. Men det är en fakta att The Hives är sveriges största och bästa rockband!

[Klokkall]

@ClubDominoEnglish Och jag hade en av dem som lärare i 3an :)

[ClubDominoEnglish]

@Klokkall Intressant:) Vem av dom och i vilken stad?

[Klokkall]

@ClubDominoEnglish Nicholaus Arson, och fagersta :)

[ClubDominoEnglish]

@Klokkall Det måste ha varit spännande:D

[olzzon97]

@GollumSupernova I know! It is fantastic that sweden are the third biggest music export country ad we are just 9 million inhabitants! haha im a proud swede!

[MianusCTLFC]

@GollumSupernova u r welcome :)

[leonx245]

Eh... They seem corney to me... I like the Strokes better..

[Indiebanana]

Woooooooooooooooohoooooooooooo­oooo!!!!!

[naota1800]

The Strokes are the best live band on the planet.

[breezy4852]

@naota1800 well the hives are #2 then

[Adamodevadam]

The Hives - "Walk Idiot Walk"

Letterman - Talk Idiot Talk

[Condorius907]

That guitar looks like a toy in Arson's huge hands. I love it.

[StackCityEntOfficial]

@LeonSmolders No I haven't actually.

[omegamann71]

Awesome song , awesome performance

[Nothefaceyoubitch]

Letterman is such a cock.

[kiskorodi]

1:18 Clockwork Orange:)

[EdieLil]

@kiskorodi Hell yeah! I knew that Pelle reminds me someone from psycho movie! :D

[ClubDominoEnglish]

@kiskorodi hmmmm what's that?

[kiskorodi]

@ClubDominoEnglish a classic movie. Pelle looks like the main character of the film. look it up;)

[hub3r7]

Eurovision is so lame. That's why they will never play there :)

[ClubDominoEnglish]

The Hives should play for Sweden in Eurovision sometime. That whould be nice.

[MugPetReviews]

[TheZgodnaKrava]

I love the expression in their faces- sex faces.

[mikevid4]

[TheWhiskeyhead]

[dialaname]

[JohnyGuitar82]

@dialaname in the looks maybe but in the performance is like seeing Iggy Pop 40 years younger!

[sassy808]

@dialaname A much improved, less bobble-headed, less lippy version :P

[touchandgod]

[fernetpunker]

[pcheyrou]

the music of the hives isnt really much more than nice pretty fresh pop music, but I would be very excited to see them live. They have such a cool goofy brand itd be really cool to see them in person

[CdnTrader1]

So a few thoughts;

1. I would dress like that for work if I could pull it off

2. I like that they hid the ugly behind the fat one

3. The singer clearly has watched alot of Mick Jagger performances

4. Very nice, tigth performance. No one appeared to be stoned or drunk

[Waackx]

@CdnTrader1

the ugly one is one the best bass players in the world.

[DaniWelshVM]

[topjolly]

[bigtimeethong123]

[86RockandJock]

Pound for pound, the Hives are the best band in the world

[KoenigGbg]

Where can I find the whole shit?

the guitars sound so nice. Straight up awesome tube tones and distortion
