Looking for a quick and easy way to get your heart rate up without doing any exercise? Love high energy, on stage antics, matching suits, and classy mens shoes? I suggest listening to The Hives. The Black and White Album, will be released Nov. 13, but if you feel like your ears couldn't possibly hold out that long then head over to iTunes where you can snag the first six songs before the album drops. The marketing behind this is genius. The Hives will be opening for Maroon 5? WTF? Why aren't they headling? I have no definitive answer. Maybe this is a way to get a larger following here in the States so they can play bigger venues on their next tour? I just don't understand because their music is good, the Maroon 5 thing is so left field, a wild card, or whatever.
Oh wait, they're on the same record label. Is this a combo deal? Because if it is the ticket prices don't reflect a two for one. I'm not pissed, but if you get to see The Hives then your evening will probably go a little something like this... you will get to the venue, see a whole bunch of people, you'll glance down at your ticket which ranged from $35-$65 and notice Maroon 5 in large bold print, frown, see The Hives open, smile, make sure you have your keys, then quickly leave following their performance. I'm not saying Maroon 5 sucks, but their music doesn't compare to The Hives. This situation is like ketchup. People say this condiment can be eaten with almost anything and then there's mayonnaise and some people hate that shit.
