Story:
Well it was my first time being to Sasquatch music fest. and holy shit it was crazy. I was stoked to see the hives on the Monday,as I wanted to see The Hives live for soooo long and YOU GUYS WERE AMAZING. I waited since the first show at the beginning of the day to be front center, and was blown away by your guys performance. My sister saw you guys in Vancouver ( yes I'm Canadian ) =) best live show she's ever seen, and I was not disappointed. From Howlin Pelle's ( love ) sweat spraying on my face , getting a wink from Pelle =),when he came out to the crowd grabbing my hand,
catching Dr Matt Destructions pick, and even meeting fucking Howlin Pelle himself.
Well heres my little story, I got the bodyguards to take me out of the crowd and I was walking along were the body guards stand and you guys just finished your show and I yelled to Howlin Pelle if I could get a picture. Sure enough Pelle climbed the fence for me and took a couple of pictures with me.O my amazing thats all I have to say, so next time you guys come to Vancouver, Canada defiantly want to meet Pelle again and all of The Hives. I keep replaying the moment, and seriously want to marry Pelle, which sounds kinda creepy but your amazing. Best moment of my life <3
Well can't wait to see you guys again in Vancouver again one day...
LOVE YOU GUYS
Sarah =)

When: May 15, 2008
Story:
Okay so I didn't *technically* meet the guys, but I got as close as I possibly could, baby!
My best friend, my brother, and went to go to the concert. When we got out of the car to take the train into Atlanta, I said, “Guys, we won’t need the umbrella! It looks like the rain will let up!” I was wrong…We walked four blocks from the train to Center Stage Atlanta where we waited outside in line for about 45 minutes to an hour.
Oh, yeah, and it poured. I was standing on the side of the road and this car went through this puddle and drenched me (in my glorious white shirt, of course).
During the concert, Pelle was talking to the crowd about the southern hospitality he and the band had been receiving. It got ridiculously quiet, so I yelled out, “I love you!!”
To which Pelle responded with, “Well, I love you *too*!”
It was by far the best moment of my life, man.
That is to say, until Pelle grabbed my hat from me during the show! In the veritable mosh pit going on below him, I had to hold my hat up in the air to keep in from falling off. Pelle had come dangerously close to me, so I held my arm out towards him to try to touch him. As I looked away for just a second, I felt my hat leave my hands. I thought I had dropped it—until I saw that Pelle was wearing it, baby!
My mouth was wide open. I couldn’t move, otherwise I would have gotten a picture of him in my hat. After a while, he tossed it back and winked at me. Needless to say, I’ve been wearing it ever since.
Since we had to be ushered out of the venue so quickly, that was as close as I could have gotten to the magnificent band. But, I did get to touch Pelle several times—including his upper leg. I got to feel up a rock star, baby.
I have been reliving that concert ever since! I left with a huge black eye from being nailed in the face from this drunk guy’s elbow. It’s my trophy from the best concert I have ever, ever, *ever* been to. The whole band blew me away.
So, I know that’s not *strictly* meeting them, but it was by far the most fun I have ever had & it involved interacting with those rock gods. The friend I went with was a concert virgin, so you guys made it an awesome night for her!
Come back to Atlanta soon!!
(I also snagged Vigilante Carlstroem's pick, which I carry around with me at all times.)

Well, we didn't really get to meet the band. However, the show here in Indy was fabulous!!! My husband and I were thrilled that the band chose to come here as there many other larger American cities they could have gone to. I hope everyone in Indy was nice to them and made them feel at home. I am a local artist and had made some art jewelry for the women in their lives but they were no where to be found after the show, so I guess I'll hang on to it until next time! Best! Donna

Story:
I found this band quite recently and it was mere luck, that they came in at the right time. So I got the ticket and kept waiting..
The performance was spectacular and no doubt it has been the BEST concert i've ever been at.
When I recall the event, I have to admit, that we Czech folks are crazy. I have seen lots of Yours videos and the one in Prague was the wildest . In comparison with other concerts, this was total frenzy.
Hope you enjoyed it and, please, come back soooon!
