One of the few mainstream rock bands of the 21st century that shouldn'
t be slaughtered by The Interhamwe with machetes Bizimungu bought from China for only 10¢ each. The Hives are made up of Howlin' Pelle Almqvist (vocals), his brother Nicholaus Arson (Guitarist), Vigilante Carlstroem (Second Guitarist), Dr. Matt Destruction (Bassist), and Chris Dangerous (Percussion). The
band claims they have a man named
Randy Fitzsimmons who is they're discoverer\manager\ghostwriter. However, "
Randy Fitzsimmons" has been revealed to be pseudonym belonging to Nicholaus, leading many people to believe that Mr. Fitzsimmons is nothing but a myth, and that Nick writes the songs. The
band, of course, denies this. My question is: "If
Randy is, in fact, a myth, why is he a myth? Why do The Hives insist on him being true??" The Hives were formed in 1993, in a small Swedish town named Fagersta (all the members are swedish). The band make Garage Rock Revival, Alternative Rock, and Garage
Punk. Their album, Veni Vidi Vicious, is a pretty much remix of rock
music from the 1960s, the song "Hate to say I told you so" is the reason they became known. I become very jovial whenever hearing the
sweat sound of their
music, a big fan, and believe that this will never change.
