Late 80’s effects make the picture blurry but this is the start of the song and a riff that is known all over the world.

After drum beat the rest of the band come in and the song begins.

Close up of lead singer.

Lead singer runs to the front and jumps at the camera

This shows that he is talking to himself (hat to say I told you so).

Bassist and drummer giving it there all.

The hives always perform in black suits and look very formal, bass guitarist normally wears a top hat.
