The Hives - Countdown to Shutdown (Official Music Video)

Destruction's cameo is indeed the best cameo in the history of cameos! That was awesome!

Well spotted. You are a true fan of the HIVES.

The videographer for this video deserves an Academy Award... Too much great stuff going on... Concept, actual band played white collar stiffs, top shelf acting / humor, Dr. Matt Destruction cameo, Magnus Krepper destroying the lead role, and having 100% delivered the lyrical narrative.. Besides, the song f##king rocks!

[@axelschuch3602]

Best vid in vid history combined to a song that has it all. Always hear that song only with watching the vid. This is genious.

Love The Hives. Had no clue Matt D wasn't well. Happy to see him still alive.

[@JasonGeske-ui2xl]

Thank you to The Hives for dropping this atomic bomb of an album and saving rock and roll!

FYI -Just a reminder that its not normal for bands to sounds this good and fresh 20+ years in.

I guess it helps if they've only released 5 (soon to be six) albums in that time! haha (But yes they're amazing)

This comeback just proves that their sound truly timeless.

[@knollanadrianotanteo]

So happy to see the Doctor’s cameo. When I started playing the bass guitar, I was so fascinated with showy/technical bass players, guys like Wooten, Sheehan, Myung, Flea and Claypool. Then my band covered Walk Idiot, and i was blown away by Dr Matt Destruction’s simple yet thunderous bass line coupled with Chris Dangerous’ drumming. And I can say, after that, my musicality matured a little bit.

[@Phangmaster]

I hear you brother!

[@eurikadude]

The Hives will never stop being cool

@roughandpretty Thanks for the info! I read that he played a minor role in the original Girl with the dragon tattoos trilogy. So I actually saw him on the big screen back then :D

[@andibensisva2155]

Me too. Between The Strokes, The Hives, & The Vines who emerge together at the change of the millenium as saviours of rock n rolls and Garage rock flag bearers.The Hives is my least favorite. But this song even better than their first attempt.

[@viralmovie149]

This was suggested to me from the song that’s called “Dupe - MOB Visualizer” 👍👍

[@Perbalter]

Magnus Krepper is an outstanding stand in. Really funny. Never heard the Hives before. But this song really rocked!! Though I recognized him it took some googeling to confirm. Great song! Now I just have to go through the rest of their work. Going to bee fun!😊😊
