      Saw them in may this year and it was one of the most fun shows I’ve been at. It was probably the rainiest day this year, we almost didn’t go, it was a last minute decision. so the crowd was probably smaller than anticipated but right before the show the sky magically cleared☀️. Of course it was all thanks to pelles superpowers, otherwise I would have guessed god

    I saw them play in Norwich many moons ago. I can't remember which song but at one point the whole band stopped and froze on the spot, mid pose and remained that way for what seemed like an age (and I mean this was a heavily pregnant pause to the point of awkwardness) and then without so much as a stick click or hi-hat stomp they all came back in full pelt as one. Incredible. Such amazing energy.

  • @redadamearth

    I was the singer in a band in the early-mid aughts - we mostly played the songs I wrote, but we had to play covers just to get gigs in order to play the originals and "Hate To Say I Told You So" was one of them - so I would sing that in full voice, basically imitating it exactly, night after night for a long time, as the audience loved our version of it - and we had to start saving it until near the end, as I just blew out my voice at one point. Thankfully, it wasn't permanent or anything, just a temporary dip into the land of tea and honey for a week or so, but yeah, I had to learn not to give myself fully to EVERYTHING during a 3-hour set. lol Being a "front man" (and even a more reserved one like I was) you can kind of fall into a "zone" during a set and just disappear into the moment, as there's nothing else like singing your heart out in front of people, especially when you're singing your own songs that mean something to you and wanting to *communicate* - but just for purely *physical* reasons, you have to learn to pace your voice, with ebbs and flows during the set. That just comes with experience as you learn your limitations (and vocal stamina). That said, the WORST pain I ever felt was having to play a 3-hour show when I had BAD guitar hand (carpal tunnel, probably) and my fingers just would NOT move to the positions. That was a tough night. I do miss playing out, though, as I just write and record for myself now, basically. Just never stopped writing songs. Some moments and feelings, you just need to capture in 3-minute cages.

    Justin, I try to explain to non -music aficionados that there are a LOT of really great singers, and that there are a LOT of really great performers, however, there are not very many people/bands that are both. The performance is just as much of an art as the music being performed. You definitely understand this because you, and The Darkness are a band that accomplishes this in a beautiful way. Having said this, The Hives are one of my favorite live acts. Their songs are mostly 'three chords and the truth', but they get the job done. You really cannot describe a Hives show to people who have never experienced one. Howlin Pelle, often states to the audience, "We are The Hives, and tonight we are going prove to you that we are your NEW favorite BAND!" Then they commence to proving that self aggrandizing boast. It is not a boast though, unless you cannot back up the statement with an extraordinary performance, and they simply do that every time. I have really enjoyed your insight, and musical IQ. Keep up the great work!

    I saw them at Download 2004 and I think there was only my mate and I not throwing bottles.
    ....though Pele *did* encourage them...
    "all you people who don't like The Hives, why aren't you throwing bottles?!"

    Good times.
    So glad you have done a video on them AND mentioned Rick James again ❤️
    (Though he never actually played a Ric OR bass on his albums, that was Oscar Alston on a Stingray. He is a vastly overlooked funk machine who sadly never gets the credit he deserves.)

    That point of his voice being on the edge, that's rock and roll to me. I've often thought he must be using part of his anatomy in the way that metal vocalists really have to warm up and practice for that hard/loud growl/scream.

    Saw The Hives at the Brixton academy and they were brilliant. I really liked them anyway but sometimes bands don’t always match up when playing live but these guys did.

    Loved The Hives since I bought a compilation called "Your New Favourite Band" at uni. "Main Offender" is a huge favourite and the video is amazing. Cheers for the video.

    The Hives has always been one of those bands leaving you wanting more.
    Somewhat like AIF to be honest.

    Love the channel, and generally do not comment on anything online, but I have a motive.
    The guitar player from the Hives may have been influenced by that band you have mentioned several times, but he is DEFINITELY influenced by Wilco Johnson from Dr Feelgood.
    I would love a video about them
    Awesome channel, thanks for all the content

    Years ago, I gave the singer of d'Hives a noogie (polite knuckle scratching of the head) in Nashville, TN. (Bucket List Achievement...Achieved.) Good people, even better rock and / or roll.

    Just love your channel! Your assessments are spot on and genuine. New subscriber here.

Keep those videos coming!

    "An anatopism (from the Ancient Greek ἀνά, "against," and τόπος, "place") is something that is out of its proper place. The concept of anatopism is less widely familiar than that of anachronism, perhaps because much that is anatopic is also anachronistic."

    I saw them years ago in Toronto after this album came out, and again after Tyrannosaurus Hives released - they were amazing both times. Their drummer Chris is crazy talented, and he had an old pearlescent Slingerland kit with a huge bass drum that was beautiful. And Howlin' Pelle is 100% Mick Jagger energy, but doesn't come off like he's just pretending to be someone else.
    If I had a desert island disc, I think this song would be on it. You can listen a thousand times, and never get tired of it despite how incredibly simple the actual music is.

    When I was younger my friends / band mates opinion of a band would sometimes lead to me not liking that band as much. When I found out my friends were not fans of the Hives, it just made me want to play their music louder (especially when they were in my car). Love the energy, the look, and most of all love their music.
