The Hives - "Hate to Say I Told You So" live in New York

In this video Hives frontman Howlin' Pelle Almqvist shows how to control the crowd while belting out the band's classic tune "Hate To Say I Told You So".
The Hives anticipated new album Lex Hives is out on June 5, 2012. In celebration, the band is taking over Noisey. Every day this week, Noisey will post exclusive video footage from The Hives performance at Webster Hall Studio on April 26. The buzzed-about underplay at the 300-capacity venue was widely acclaimed, with MTV praising their "Superhuman capacity for consistent excellency," and SPIN anointing Howlin' Pelle Almqvist as "one of the greatest frontmen in rock."

I can't tell who is having more fun, The Hives or the audience. These guys are so great. No pretention, just great music and fun.

[@kaijubushi151]

I think it's probably more fun seeing them in a club setting than at a festival

[@armandoarrojo9841]

every club concert is funnier

[@ludvig9184]

I'm pretty sure seeing any band is better in a club than a festival.

[@huntrdz]

It is like that cause festivals always have people just there to being drunk and shit. But i saw these guys with other 20k at least. 20k people that sang their hearts out, that shit was amazing

[@EmpuGaming]

These guys were great fun live, saw them 2004 i believe.

[@arturosincere483]

you prolly dont care but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all of the latest series on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my girlfriend for the last few months :)

[@banannersloth]

"Please roll up my sleeve, audience" I live for this guy

[@s.g-quint198]

Before I die, I'd like to see The Hives live. These guys absolutely ROCK!

[@Kiwi_TaylorsVersion]

Check out their new tour dates! They're incredible live

[@jamesleonard9738]

just back from the Manchester gig in the UK you missed a god damn treat long live The Hives

[@mranere]

What an amazing stage presence.

[@JDsmiffy1]

Brilliant, The Hives in a small club - total chaos and no phones. Wish I was there!

[@PetterJohansson-p7l]

Still so epic🇸🇪

[@geoffrees418]

Rock n roll, punk , call it what you want but this shows the power of it. How good must it have been in the audience? The Hives....maximum everything

[@jay-weezy-c3m]

The angle from the crowd where the silhouettes of the audience were in sync with the band was amazing

[@Plasticjesus504]

I have been to a lot of concerts and can say that these guys are the best I have seen live ever... they are just a wall of sound and energy. Also, one of the best front men of my generation, “please roll up my sleeve audience.” Hahaha

[@malingustavsson7925]

Totally agree with you! I've worked in a world class arena for a decade or two and I have seen just about everything and anyone. Besides working there I have also been to concerts both in my home country and others. I love going to concerts. I miss going to concerts (stupid pandemic) I have seen my favorite band, U2, on 20+ occasions world wide. Last U2 show I saw was in Tokyo december 5th 2019. However....as much as I love U2; the best live performances I have ever seen is that of The Hives. Except from David Bowie.

[@geofbrit59]

A performance for the ages. Love everything about this video.

[@mohofojo8129]

Saw these guys at the shakey knees music festival last week and was completely blown away. Best set of the whole weekend. I went in wanting to be one of The Strokes and came out wanting be one of The Hives.

[@rickyisom69]

Howlin' Pelle, best frontman ever! A punk Jagger with etiquette, a master of ceremonies and an evangelist, all rolled up into one.

[@m.d.atkinson6975]

I'm here to revive this great moment in music history. RIP Noisey/Vice :(

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

🔥🤘😊🔥🍾🥂 Ya, very sad about VICE/Noisey!

[@Nikikanor]

Some bands deliver their music but after seeing The Hives I understand that you can also entertain. There is nothting like this band.

[@danielmarquis5258]

They have that rootsy 70's Punk Sound.

[@markboyd1696]

Damn, I wish I had discovered this band years ago. Having a great time getting caught up on what I missed during that time. I just freaking love this song and the whole vibe of this band. Thank you for posting this!!!!

[@Christian-wr8cb]

These guys are beyond underrated; Amazing band and an amazing performance 🤙🏻

[@PCDisciple]

Damn. Sick SICK performance. So much swagger.

[@ciaobella65]

Webster Hall has some of the best acoustics I have ever heard in my life

[@patmo15]

The outro on the album version of this always gives me bumps. Anyone who plays in a band will have experienced that time when the frequency of the drums at the right time reverbs in the right room when the floor n everything bounces. Can feel that on the album track. Love it.

[@cripbabe111]

I was at this show - as always they are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kosnow11]

3:40 is like heaven. Bet there will NEVER be another show like this, ALRIGHTTTT!!!!

[@bretgrant4316]

[@skatepunkvideos]

They're from Sweden. How did he get a southern American accent with heavy drawl?

[@maxmunzert9725]

It’s kinda like mick Jagger I’m that sense

[@misakiyoshida]

That's how he whips it up onstage. When he normally talks, he has a pretty thick Swedish accent

[@halthegreat]

Its pretty swedish. Rolling those electric guitar Rs ....

[@Creativecat_co]

Pelle puts the southern accent on, in interviews you can hear the Swedish accent
