The Hives is one of the most consistent bands in terms of quality albums and easily one of the greatest live bands ever
They are one of the only bands where if they never put out another song and just kept doing the same setlist over and over, it would still be worth going to see them because it would be different every time
and they always deliver - video, tv, live - have never seen a dud - a lot in common with The Darkness, in that way.... massive addictive energy & earworm
Just saw them in Glasgow Barrowlands, definitely top 3 live concerts I've ever seen.
Just saw the Hives live supporting Arctic Monkeys and it was one of the best 45mins of live music I've ever witnessed! Amazing band
Same here. I hate to say it but I kinda had more fun during the Hives support than the main Arctic Monkeys set 😅
@XxEvilTiggerxX 😆 yeah I know what you mean. Monkeys were amazing musically, but there was not much crowd interaction and its all a bit serious. Hives were just full throttle! I also had a better time with them and will definitely go and see them again!
Saw the hives at old Trafford supporting AM, thought they were way better than AM. Wouldn’t pay to see AM again, would definitely pay to see The Hives
Ditto to the comments about.. they're my new favourite band, like I said, like I said like I said
Was at Bellahouston park Glasgow yesterday , they were awesome and I’ll definitely go and see them again when they tour Scotland early 2024. So much energy and crowd interaction
"Rock n roll isn' for the faint hearted, it's blood and guts and cable knit jumpers". Quote of the day!
Mosh pit. Nothing like a good mosh...
If cable knit jumpers were easy, everyone would have one.
😂 cable knit jumpers? Kurt Cobain springs to mind! 😂
One of the tightest live bands that you will ever see. They are phenomenally good. I’m so glad to finally hear new material from them and for it to be such a banger.
The new album is an absolute banger start to end!
This brings me back 20 years!
The Hives, The Darkness, Turbonegro, The Ark, Young Heart Attack!
Man, what a time to be alive that was!!
New Bomb Turks, Hellacopters, Gluecifer, Zeke - what a time to be young and stupid.
THE MARS VOLTA. What a time.
Saw them about 15 or more years ago. Hands down, the BEST live band I've ever seen....and I've seen damn near everyone I wanted to live.
Remember mixing them live when their first album was released. Completely blown away since day one. They have some magic tracks in the trunk.
Gotta love the fact they never abandoned the "lore" behind the band. I would love if that storyline have it turn out that "Randy Fitzsimmons" had been the good Dr. Matt Destruction all along. As at this point it's not really likely he'll ever be back regularly, but it would be a nice way of having him remain an integral part of the band.
Bloody love the Hives. Seen them live 4 times now, they never disappoint!
I was so stoked to see a new Hives song! My buddy thought they wouldn’t ever release a new album, and now I get to sing to him “HATE TO SAY I TOLD YA SO”
Tell that idiot to walk
“ALRIGHT!”
A decade of Tick, Tick, Tick, then finally, BOOM!
😂😂😂
I'm excited, too! They're such a fun band and they've been away for too long. Always had a good time seeing them live and this first song definitely feels like a triumphant return. It's unmistakably the Hives and I can't wait to hear the rest of the album.
oh got to love a LOUD GUITARS RECORDING. Sounds like it is all going in the red on the desk. Fab. Love it!!
spot on with the RATM reference at intro of song and also the Evil Dead movie. Exactly what I was thinking. Great review, as always
I LOVE THIS REACTION!!! "Go on get the suits on boys!" quote of the day.
They've been my favourite band since I was 11, really hope a ticket comes free so I can see them in Bristol soon!
Saw them 2 nights ago in a tiny London venue, they were fantastic - loads of sweat, energy & crowd interaction!
They did my all time favourite Christmas song with Cindy Lauper. Awesome to see them back!
Not only do I thoroughly enjoy your podcasts for the musical education, but your costumes, fashion and wardrobe comments keep me coming back time and time again. Would love to hear you discuss your choices of costumes AND personal wardrobe (pretty sure we have the same Dries sweater).
I am not sure if you are getting too big to read your comments or not but I am absolutely loving your content...I am older and my musical upbringing was mostly punk/new wave so it is nice getting exposure to bands like the Hives that I totally missed ! Jenny deserves a raise!
The Hives are back, Jack White's two albums last year were insanely good and Ren has become known to us - what a great 12 months of new music 😁
Love The Hives. I saw them live at Leeds Festival around 20 years ago. They were absolutely brilliant! Nice to see they've still got the energy. Looking forward to this new album.
hell yeah Garth Merenghi's Darkplace is so underappreciated
…and bits of sick.
Why won't she be mine?
I wish I was more attractive like Dagless!
That deep cut from Justin, a man of class and sophisticated taste!
I beg ya pudding? A Darkplace reference? If Wanton gets wind of this my arse is grass...and he's got a lawnmower.
I saw the Hives at T in the park around 2001 and still say it was the best live performance I've ever seen. Huge energy and Pelle strutting around swinging his mic was superb! Great tunes back then too.
So glad they're back! One of my fave gigs ever is still seeing the hives as a support to the yo yo's in 2001. Played to like 100 people, performing like they were headlining Download! Awesome band
Sounds like you enjoyed it as much as I did. 11 years away and straight back into classic Hives.
garth marenghi's darkplace being mentioned made me smile.
OMG! JUSTIN! THANK YOU! THIS SINGLE IS 🔥!
I adore The Hives. The video is fantastic too!
crazy laughter with out reason always gets me.
The Hives live are a revelation. Incredibly fun!
Royal Republic also has a very Hives vibe. Just a great live band.
The video is 100% an Evil Dead homage. I absolutely love it ❤
RIGHT!! First MCR came back, and now THE FRIGGIN HIVES MAN.
I saw MCR in Brisbane a few months back, can't wait for The Hives to announce a gig here! NEXT, THE DARKNESS!?!?!
Now that I'm in my 30's and missed all you guys when I was younger I'm absolutely frigging making them this time!
BOGUS OPERANDI Is quite possibly one of their best songs yet!
Love that you referenced "Dark Place" shortly after saying "blood, red, coppery tasting liquid"... a line worthy of the author, dreamweaver, shaman (plus actor) himself😂
You and he were… buddies, weren’t you?
All the Scandinavian, So-called "Scandi-Rock" bands are great. Turbonegro, Hellacopters, Gluecifer, Hives and Backyard Babies. They are a mix of Garage and punk Bands from rhe 60's and 70's. With that Scandinavian Darkness Spice.
I’ve been waiting for this reaction! I’ve listened to this song non stop the past couple of days.
I would comment, but I’m busy sprinting through the city with a small Swedish coffee cup aloft in front of me, blasting this on a boom box. BRB.
Side Note : If none of you have ever seen Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, seek it out now. Take the Mighty Boosh, add a pinch of terror and stir in some early Doctor Who effects and you have...Garth Mareghi's (dramatic pause) Darkplace.
AHHH just listened to the theme tune to this... Bright back sooo many memories!
“I know writers who use subtext, and they’re all cowards.” Ooh, quoting niche media tropes...feel like I'm 15 again...
And FINALLY published author as well!
This is awesome. I love the Hives so much! I am just going to sit here and bask in the glow of the likely misplaced idea that I may have influenced your prrrrroducer to cover this song.
Not just The Hives who are returning to the garage rock reveal this year. The Strokes are also working on a new album.
The strokes suck.
@@TheJaxsonjack The Strokes won a Grammy award for their music.
@@eweng903 I get it. You like what you like. But so what that they won a Grammy? I mean, look at what shit acts are nominated year in and year out?
@@TheJaxsonjack Ozzy Osbourne won the rock album Grammy award in 2023 for Patient Number 9. Ozzy has not been nominated many times for that award before he won it this year.
Yasss! First The Hives come back and now The Strokes are too 😃😃
Good stuff. Love the garage rock and roll!
The Hives is great, very happy that they're back!!Their World Wide Web - tour was awesome and brilliant idea!! Hopefully I'll finally get to experience them live!! 😎
One of the great live bands! Saw them on their 1st couple of tours in Seattle!
I just commented a out the hives on an older video so I must have missed this one. The hives are smacking hard. The singer must have some serious vocal routine to hold up those screams and strains. They look like them are an absolute riot to go see. Will keep an eye on them.
Looking forward too seeing you on the PTL 20th anniversary tour ❤
Saw these guys on the 12th and 14th and they were amazing!!!!!!
Lovely knitwear ! 😂They’ve really upped the stakes ! This is in my car on the way to work tomorrow. Stellar work Justin love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Yes I love the hives! Instantly takes me back to high school every time I hear their music
Dwight Yoakam. Greatest musician actor to ever grace the stage and screen
The Hives are truly the best rock n roll band ever. When the time machine is invented in the future, the first thing people will want is to go back to the era of the Hives. They will take any way to enjoy the best live performance ever to grace this earth. Don't miss it.
Where are all the time travellers, eh?
We Really need the Hives atm. Sounds awesome.
The Bowie movie... with the laughter: Wondering if it could be The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976)? Where our hero is trying to fit in, but doesn't have things like laughter down yet? I recently watched it and was glad I did. Starting with his turquoise velvet suit, and going every which way from there, lol. Cheers!
I love the hives ,I wasnt aware they are back with new stuff,this has made my day
The hives and scar symmetry both coming out with new albums after a decade is good to see.
This song KILLLLSSS and you got yourself a new subscriber. Fun review
the hives are a really cool band, I saw them live in a festival around 2012~ 2013, their sound was incredible.
Saw the hives many many years ago playing somewhere in london , cant remember where , but all i remember from that gig was the support band on the recieving end to a bottle or 2 or in this case thousands, felt bad for them at the time .
Haha you took rage against the machine right out of my mouth 😂 and then I'm getting Offspring vibes! The vid is Evil dead-tastic
🙌
Bogus Operandi is such a good name. Great band
Seeing them in Portland later this year! I’m not missing a Hives tour for the world!
The only time sitting at home on New Years Eve was ok, was when the Hives appeared on Jools Holland's Hootenanny many years ago. Here is hoping they will show up once again in 7 month's time!
if you see the hives on the street you better shout “GO ON, GET THE SUITS ON BOYS!!!”
Whether it’s The Darkness or this podcast, you’re a godsend, Justin!
Along with Hanson, The Bronx and The Darkness (of course), The Hives are by far one of the best bands I've ever seen live. How did I miss this release?!
I Really enjoy the darkness and the hives. A tour together would be beautiful.
That feeling when " Arrival" is belted out before the mighty D come on stage. Still feels the same after 15 + concerts!
I thought you were saying "YES" is back, and I was like, cool.
DEFINITELY an Evil Dead vibe. I love this! Two of my favorite things. The Evil Dead and The Hives!
My dad was in a punk/garage rock ban in the 90's and he got into the Hives as they became popular in the early 2000's. I've loved them since I first heard "Tick Tick Boom" when I was like 8 years old. I hope they come back to Nashville because the last time they were here, It was always 18+ shows and I wasn't 18 yet. I hope to experience them live, as I've only heard the best.
I forgot about The Hives until your previous video. Got me all fired up again, and than they release this banger. Darn.
Their new songs kicks ass and the video is great.
Time flies!!! It's been curious how my mind has travelled back in time when I heard Pelle's voice in this video. My fav song of them is A.K.A. I-*-*-*-*-T (though I started listening to them by 2007). It's good to see that they still preserve their own sound.👍🏻
PS: Nice poster of mighty Dan!🎸🫶🏻
Justin's smile at 6:09 is everything.
Time to watch Cabin Fever again 😊. It gave me that vibe.
❤Hives!!!
If you live in Skandoland, the video has got some hilarious Easter eggs. Killer comeback single IMO. Up there with The Hellacopters and Refused. 🤘🤘
Tell us!
I’m actually surprised You Tube allowed this video. The way they babysit us. Like the words shit or fuck is the cause of mass shooters. They’re just words people flip out over which makes kids wanna say them. I miss Justin’s ability to just say whatever’s on his mind. Makes it less natural for him I think. I’d hate to have to censor myself. Then the labels claiming videos. Why’d they even make YT kids. Should have made YT for adults just to let creators speak how they want to (of course no hate speech). Can you tell it pisses me off, haha?
Seeing the hives end of March with the wonderful Bad nerves I last saw with a little band called the darkness. Lord knows how I missed this video
That single rocks hard, feels like we're back in the Tyrannosaurus Hives days !
Great live band. Still recovering from seeing them and Foo Fighters at Fenway in Boston.
Labyrinth, that's the movie where Bowie does that laugh. 🙂
Glad The Hives are back though, and still delightfully bonkers.
Love them. What a band! Rock!
@justinhawkins you will be glad to know that I saw the hives destroy Madison Square Garden as direct support for… wait for it….. Maroon 5. It was very obvious that the hives had been forbidden to walk on the 30ft thrusts and had almost no use of the lighting truss. So they all wore white and used 4 spots plus a feature light on the drummer. Then the singer jumped off the stage and ran around in front of the thrusts. They were amazing.
That would have been a thing of beauty to watch. What a weird pairing. But was that M5 when you actually heard guitars? So many touring matches were just “oh they’re on the same label so put them together” and it makes no sense. M5 must have been shaking😅
Love The Hives! New single is peak Hives (IMHO). Thanks Justin!
We rehearsed right across from The Hives back in 2007, chatted with Pelle now and then, didn't even know it was him til he told me his bands name lol
Never expected to hear Garth Marenghi's darkplace referenced here out of all places.
Ooooohhh. errrr... I had to pause this and make some "Chai".....back in a few!!! Can't wait
Wow, great to hear new stuff from The Hives
Fookin’ LOOOVE The Hives! 🖤
It seems the forced period of reflection that was covid has in part given a load of bands time to come out with some awesome tunes. Notably for me - Extreme, King's X, Filter and now the Hives! All with a renewed fire it seems!
Hate to say was a defo highlight in me old cover band’s set in the noughties, frightening the life out of pub goers of the Home Counties back in the day. This sounds bang on message too!
Do you know that in French, Pelle means Shovel. There's a pun right there looking at a shovel murdering The Hives
Great stuff. And talking of new releases from old bands, I'd be interested to hear what Justin makes of the shiny new Damned album, Darkadelic
Darkadelic is fantastic!
Admittedly I’m not really familiar with their music but this is great!!!! If this is what they typically sound like I’m in!
Justin...I am a long-time fan of the Hives. I am really excited about their new album. Speaking of Scandinavian bands, I am guessing you might be familiar with Kaizer's Orchestra but that your audience may not be. They are on indefinite hiatus for now, but are another awesome live band. It would be great to do a piece on them. They have great video material uploaded to their site here. I think Maestro is their accessable album for newcomers. Anyway, just a thought.
I'm a damn 65 year old but I respect The Hives so much, awesome rock band!
Love the single! Was not expecting the video....Swedish horror movie 😵💫
i picked the wrong time to have avocado and tomato on a bagel, so had to avert my gaze during the clips. Long live Ramones 💗and Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace 📚😂
ahh The Hives. Always reminds me of playing Runescape using a modem in 2003. Glad they’ve kept their sound!
Brilliant video, great catchy song.
I love the Hives. So much energy in their performances.
I have seen literally hundreds of concerts, and The Hives are the best live band I have ever seen. Period.
(And yeah, I have seen The Darkness. They're great, too. 😁)
I really enjoy this. Your dork shit is very cool the way you do it. Meant complimentary of course
