The Hives

In this electrifying live performance from November 30, 2001, The Hives deliver 'Hate to Say I Told You So' on 'Late Night with Conan O'Brien.' At that time, they were riding the wave of their breakout album, 'Veni Vidi Vicious,' which had dropped in 2000. That album not only catapulted them to international fame but also helped define the garage rock revival of the early 2000s. Their unabashed energy and distinctive style, with frontman Howlin' Pelle Almqvist's charismatic antics, instantly captured the attention of the audience. Fun fact? This performance showcased their knack for blending punk rock with a catchy pop sensibility, paving the way for future hits and solidifying their place in rock history.
