Yes they respect their fans. Hats off.

Love when bands do stuff like this!! Foo fighters ... steel panther ... they really make memories for life

The bass tone is INCREDIBLY INSANE

Wicked. This band rips up every venue they go to.

I'm always amazed how fans playing with bands seem so comfortable, like they have been in the band for years.

The Hives - A Legend Status Band

This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time that guy kicked into it like he’s been there the whole time

That was awesome. The Hives seem like cool dudes.

Very underrated band, love them.

One of the top 3 best live bands ever

I stumbled upon this just doom scrolling YT. This made my night and I can go to bed here. Nice job, Hives.

I was there for this. We found the kid after show just to make sure he wasn’t a plant. So epic!

Now that's a gig that lad will never forget fair play guys

Saw Green Day pull some 'random' kid out of the Brixton audience to play guitar with them on one track, possibly "Geek Stink Breath". My little band of concert-going friends and I thought that was brilliant gesture. Six months later, Green Day were one of the bands on at a weekend festival I was attending with the same group of friends when once again they ask if any member of the audience would like to join them and one of my friends remembered seeing them do the same thing at the previous gig. When the 'random' kid was brought on stage and introduced, it triggered a memory for me: it was the same kid. I mentioned this to my friend who said "Can't be, what would the chances of that be?" About 100% if it wasn't 'random' chance at all. We were due to see the band again four days later at Nottingham's legendary Rock City. At the venue, and by actual chance, I met up with another concert-going friend who - in trying to make us all feel older than we wanted to believe we were at the time - had brought along his teenage son for his first ever rock concert. This friend hadn't been with us or either the Brixton gig or the festival and so I said to him "I'll bet you that at some point tonight, they'll pull some random kid from out of the audience and his name will be Sean, from Dublin." Now, my stance on recreational drugs is common knowledge amongst my friends and I could tell by the look on his face that maybe the worm had turned for me since I had last seen which had, admittedly, been some time. Lo and behold, a 'random' kid was pulled from the audience and he was indeed called Sean and hailed from Dublin* The friend I made a bet with was a scared-of-nothing squaddie and the look on his face was now less of disappoint and more of wonder and even a hint of fear; I had seriously freaked him out. With it being only four days between gigs this time, the other mate who had been with at both previous gigs said "You were right, definitely the same kid." I did share this inside knowledge with my squaddie friend who was clearly relieved that I hadn't become a (complete) freak while he was away defending queen and country but I think we all lost some respect for Green Day over that. * All these years later, I'm reasonably confident I've got both the kid's name and his city of origin correct but he was definitely Irish and definitely the same 'random' kid on each occasion.

Hands down the most fun band ever!

Epic. I really have no other words for it. I couldn't help grinning through the whole thing - and isn't that the point?

Every video I've seen of these guys has been mind blowing

...and then you wake up and it turns out the whole thing was a dream...except it wasn't. You got to be a Hive. Can't imagine the surreal kvell coursing thru that kid's veins.

Amazing- saw them in 2008 (god that was a long time ago!!!)

That was very kool of them. What a fun show.

More rock n roll in 2 mins than most bands manage in a lifetime.

That is SO rad, much respect

It's always a setup when they do that. Funny story, I was at a show and the band had their friend in the front. He was going to come up on stage for a song, But get kicked out trying to get on the stage too early and the band missed it. So when they did the gig and said they were gonna pull someone out of the crowd they couldn't find him and panicked and ended up pulling me out of the crowd. I was on LSD at the time and messed the whole skit up. I was back sage later and we all had a big laugh about it. I was gonna leave out that the band was phish at NY becon theater if anyone saw that show... Ask your Hippie friends about it, cus it was the first and only time they pulled someone out of the crowd. I had to jump on a trampoline while playing guitar. Imagine staring at 30000 people playing guitar high on acid while jumping up-and-down on the f****** trampoline. I did terrible lol.

Dr. dangerous is crowd surfing and he must weigh at least 280 lb.

I wish I could play an instrument if this was me I’d just say “hey can I give u a hug” LOL

This is literally my dream. And I’m seeing the hives next year

Dude's gonna remember that moment for the rest of his life.

Guys i'm seeing the hives tonight in Lille (France) I prepared a sign, I will try to recreate this !

I want to see this band live

what's not to love about The Hives?

Muito legal a eles terem feito essa interação com o fã. O solo de baixo dessa música ficou muito bom.

Q grandes!!!

I love this.

The best part of this how the bass player just starts crowd surfing after the dude takes his place for the song.

I like how they traded the bassist to the audience for one of its members. Even exchange -- all within balance!

so great!

One of the best things I’ve ever seen

Only the Hives would do that. Props!

Muito massa!!!!!!!

Respect Big Time!👍

VERY GOOD!!

Literally every fan’s ultimate fantasy

God bless the Hives!! Coolest thing ever.

Very very very cool

absolutely electric

imagina o cara falar pros filhos deles que tocou Baixo no palco do próprio The Hives

Love it when bands do that. He will never forget that for the rest of his life, and everybody vibes off it.

Love the HIVES!! THE STROKES!!

They have ALWAYS had the TRUE spirit of FUCKING PUNk RoCK!!! Awesome!

I was thinking the same thing. You can’t go up there dressed like that! Give that man a shirt!

Saw them play in Brisbane years ago and some poor sound tech cut the sound. Lead singer wasn't too impressed and gave a speech how NOBODY kills the sound on the FUCKING HIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and then there was rock). EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They don't care about being told so. They prosper through evil.

I miss Dr Matt 😢

Just think, if that was with green day you’d get to keep the bass 😉 but fuck that, the hives are way more cool 😎🤘🏽

This is like Green Day Fans Getting pulled on stage to play an instrument!

Choreography

I wanna do the same with Arctic Monkeys

All kicking off in the nursing home

Awesome .fitted right into the Band. Could have hit it a bit harder tho lol...

I'd love to say that The Hives are an all-around class act... ...so I will: The Hives are an all-around class act.

Is that Joe Goldberg? 😂

drummer couldnt sit any higher

Yeah but…if you’re gonna come with that note, at least dress the part
