Where: various places, but my favourite was in England.
When: April 2005
Story:
I had already seen the hives and met them about 10 times when i decided to go from where i lived in california to see them at 6 shows in england. at the first show i went to when i got there they remebered me from previous meetings and couldn't believe i came all that way just to see them. chris invited my dad and i to come sit on the bus and then they let us come backstage at all the other shows we went to. it was the most amazing time i have ever had and i still cant believe it actually happened and i am so greatful they they let me do that. i'm so glad that my favourite band is not only made up of the the most talented guys but also the nicest.

Where: Stockholm, Sweden
When: Now... duuh.
Story:
I first heard about Ze Hives when the Tyrannosaurus Hives album was released. I was 14 years at the time and was trying to find my style of music. I saw the video for Walk Idiot Walk and thought: "Shit, these blokes are good."
I bought the album the next day and it was a real mindfuck, how could this piece of art come from a tiny town in tiny Sweden. The tempo, the energy, the howlin from pelle, the cool baselines, the scratching guitars and the frenetic beats from Sir Dangerous. It was like crack for me. I couldn't get enough of the shit.
Since then I have been a huge fan of The Hives, I have seen nearly every gig in Sweden, I have bought merchendise to show my faith and spread the word. I think October this year will be an important year for music history.
ps. I may want to add that i have spend a night in Hive Manor, the high quarters and base of operations of the grea! test band of all time. Sadly i did not spend the night with the band (yummy) but it was defenetly the Hive Manor. The place is called Ulvaklev Castle by the locals but I recognised it from the DVD Tussles In Brussles directly.
Yours
David

Where: nästan överallt
When: igår, ifjol, för två år sen
Story:
Jag har träffat på er många gånger faktiskt.
Och alltid någon annanstans. Om det var i Örebro, Nürburg eller Sthlm. Sedan dess har jag rentav lärt lite svenska (inte pga er, det skulle ni aldrig drömma om..).
Sista gången var igår i Hamburg/Pinneberg.
Men jag jobbade ju nästan alltid då. Så kunde jag inte göra mycket förutom att vara en bra liten security och kontrollerar era pass varje gång eller vad som helst.
Jag tror jag får inte prata om det men ni var ju alltid ganska trevliga. Om ni var halvnakna eller halvklädda.
Haha.
Nu ska jag till Sverige. Alla behöver semester efter detta. Särskilt jag.

When: 27 August
Story:
Well, this happened for about a month ago now.
I had just seen The Hives when they had been playing on the big stage in Östersund. I was chocked cause this was the second time I saw them. So, drunk, chocked, overvelmed and happier then ever I was walking with my friend, and as we came behind the stage, we saw a bunch of short blond girls standing and waiting at the fence. Then suddenly all girls started screaming and out of the fence Howlin Pelle walked and said - Move away please. My heart went crazy and i ran towards him, through all girls around him, and gave him a hug, and I heard later on that I've had said - You are so god damn awesome, and he had said thank you. And that was it. I let go and went back to my friends.
The Hives will always be the greatest! No matter how old they are going to be or no matter what crazy things they will play. I trust them in their music. So make me happy an! d release this insane Black and Whit album in Europe first! After all, they come from my home country...

Story:
I'm from Colombia as well. I had never seen The Hives live. I woke up at eleven, and saw in my e-mail that the hives were going to play at the hoxton square... I tried to buy tickets online, but they seemed to be sold out... so I tried, and I tried, and I tried, clicking the fucking mouse button, till... I got one! So I went by my own. And well, I got a very good place near the stage. And I met The Hives in the best place to meet them, at the stage, with them jumping over the crowd, and giving us their hands, and singing the new songs from their upcoming album.
It has been definitely the most intense concert I've ever been. GRRREAATTT!!!
