Whenever The Hives play a festival one thing is for
sure - more people turn up hating the band and
wanting to bottle them than cheer for them. If thatÆs
the case then why are they booked year after year by
different festivals?
Managing to get a feeble portion of the crowd to
chant'The Hives', the request for it to be followed
by 'We Love' is ignored and booed by large portions
of the crowd. This, however, is where The Hives come
in to their own. After winning the crowd over
slightly through their performance, The Hives'
front-man Pelle Almqvist starts to gradually work the
whole crowd round to The Hives' way of thinking.
Where as other bands requiring cheers before
continuing to play may seem arrogant and big-headed û
that, for some reason, isn't the case with The Hives
who somehow manage to get the whole crowd on side and
laughing along with their jokes. Pelle may joke that
they are gods, but the crowd control that they
possess is nothing short of godly in terms of rock.
Music seems to come second to The Hives and is
shadowed by their performance - but it shouldnÆt be.
Whilst some of it may reek slightly of mature
cheddar, it's no more cheesy than their sense of
dress or the performance itself - it all works
together; and it works well.
Another Hives' set two years on from their last Leeds
Festival appearance and, once again, all the
non-believers have been concerted
