Story:
I am 13 years old and i have never been to a concert before. My mom was looking at dates at the Agora and saw that they Hives and the Donnas were gonna be there. I was like ohmygosh! this is my chance to see the hives! I ended up getting tickets four days before the concert. I was in the front row, and the show was absolutly amazing! i had a speaker right in front of me so Pelle and Nicholaus would walk in front of us! I got to touch both their hands!! I was like this is soo crazy awsome, and i couldn't stand still. Pelle is a guy with a great sense of humor and they are all so nice looking ;) . The best part though was when Nicholas actually "handed" me his guitar pick!!! i almost died, hah. The concert was unbeleivable and it made me appreciate The Hives music soo much! That was like the ideal first concert for anyone! I love you guys and can't wait to see you next time you are in town! (Definatly play the Agora again!)
Thanks for being my favorite band EVER! :D
PS: When/if you see this, E-mail me please!!!

Story:
I have been a Hives fan since Vini, Vedi, Vicious came out in 2002. I eagerly awaited each new record as they were released. My family lives outside of Nashville, TN, and it never seemed like there was going to be opportunity to see The Hives perform live. They came close in the fall of 2007 when they opened for Maroon 5, but the I was unable to make the closest dates due to my work schedule. So, 2 weeks ago I happened to be checking out their website and saw that they were going to be in Columbus on March 1st. Now Columbus isn't exactly close to Nashville, but it was the closest they were going to get before heading off back to Europe. Seeing this as our only opportunity, I bought tickets and we headed off on the most memorable road trip of my life. See, I recently introduced my two sons to The Hives this past Christmas. Griffin and Gavin who are 10 and 9 got new iPods with The Black and White Album already downloaded from Santa this past Christmas. My boys had already become enamored with the band through their Cartoon Network theme and the awesome video for Tick, Tick, Boom. Hoping to make a memorable impression on my sons, I presented them with our tickets for the March 1st show and they were extremely excited.
We left Tennessee on Friday before the show and spent the night in Louisville, KY. Saturday, we reached Columbus around 3pm. I was listening to CD101 as soon as we got into the city to see if they were talking about that night's performance and found out that they were going to be at the Gallery Hop before the show. My family and I quickly got ready and headed downtown to meet The Hives. After hanging out for 45 minutes, the guys showed up at the CD101 tent.
All the guys were very gracious and polite while we introduced ourselves. They all seemed pleasently surprised to hear that we had traveled from TN to see their show. They all autographed my CD cover, some stickers for Griffin and Gavin and posed for some pictures.
After the appearance, we quickly made our way to the theater for the show. What can I say, other than WOW! Best live show ever! The venue was great and the band sounded awesome. My two boys never sat down and soaked in every moment. The best part of the night came at the end when, as the band was leaving the stage, Nicholas said "We would like to thank the folks from Nashville for coming to the show." My wife's head almost exploded!
Anyway, sorry for the long story, but The Hives are great! I was very proud of the fact that my sons' first experience with meeting a rock group was with such a collection of hard-working, kind and dedicated individuals as Pelle, Matt, Chris, Vigilante and Nicholas.
Thank you Hives, for being so awesome!

So after me and the guys ate Chipotle, we headed down to the Newport and got in line at 5. When all of the sudden Matt, Nick, and Pelle come out the front doors! Me and my friends were freaking, but to my surprise no one else was. Let me say though that The Hives are the nicest and calmest people that I have ever met.
We were front row in front of Nick and Pelle it was amazing.
Most fun that I have ever had at a concert!
Thank you guys for taking the time for photos and autographs also.
BEST LIVE ACT EVER!!!

Can I just say my heart was bleeding after that show. Oh wait let me check, yep its still bleeding. And right now I am experiencing withdraw. My friend and I went into Chipotle and what do you know? The Hives are eating there. What? So we walked up, asked for a picture, yes, and got one. Yes it was a very awkward moment but uh picture?
Waiting in line for three hours in sub zero temperatures was so completely beyond worth it.
You just raised the bar for live shows to infinity and beyond.
