If you squint, he looks like Mick Jagger with a few added inches in the height department, but Hives frontman Howlin Pelle Almqvist kicks and struts more like Iggy in his prime in this live gig from October 29, 2004. He blows the crowd kisses after "Main Offender," lets them bear him aloft during "Walk Idiot Walk," then asks, "Should you not be dancing?" before "Die, All Right!" There's also plenty of duck-walking, over-the-head clapping, and not-so-idle boasting ("The Hives are the hot band!"). To be sure, it's schtick, but after years of charisma-free alt-rock acts--Jon Spencer and the reformed Stooges aside--it's certainly refreshing to stumble across one as committed to showmanship as musicianship. Together, the spats-sporting Swedes run through 19 numbers, including Dion's "I Was Born to Cry." Tussles in Brussels includes four videos, five TV performances from the UKs Later and Top of the Pops, and the strange Little Steven-narrated film "The Hives, Hinduism and Me." The latter is undeniably original, but not necessarily informative (no band interviews, but beaucoup groovy graphics). Overall, those looking for subtlety have come to the wrong place, but for those who've lost their faith in two-chord rock--hold on tight and let the Hives take you on an adrenaline-fueled ride. --Kathleen C.

Saviors of modern rock music
No other band has given such intense performances since England's Townshend, Daltrey, Moon, and Entwistle formulated The Who. Most recently awarded the title of #1 best band in the WORLD to see live by Spin Magazine, The Hives do not disappoint with their smash DVD Tussels in Brussels. Although no filmed version of this band can do justice to their live act, Tussels in Brussels does make some excellent strides towards doing so. The videos are a stroke of genious, and the recording of A Little More for Little You features band frontman (recently placed in the top 50 frontmen of all time by Spin Magazine) Pelle Almqvist doing a more melodic, less "Howlin'" version of the track. The documentary section provides great insight into the band and what they have done to revitalize the scene of rock and roll. For die hard Hives fans, this section also may answer some long unsettled questions about a few of the mysteries surrounding The Hives. For those who have been unable to attend a live performance in the past or for those who just can't get enough of The Hives bringing a stage to life, and putting other groups to shame, this DVD is a must buy, must own, must tell everyone you know to own. Welcome to The United States of The Hives.

Region Error
I really enjoy this DVD but anytime you put the DVD into a regular player it gives you a region error. This is because the DVD is from the EU. IT works in computers and more sophisticated DVD players. The Hives have great energy, and an amazing stage show. Definately worth getting for any fan.

Outstanding band
No concert video can produce the same effect as a live performance and this is especially true of this video; the Hives live are simply put one of the best live bands going today. That said, however, this video is fun and a worthy addition to any music fans collection. For those who are unfamiliar with their music, shame on you; make things right and check them out.

Know your code.
I'm pretty bummed, mainly because the region code is for everywhere but America. Now I have no way to watch it. I think it could have been a little more obvious that it had a different region code.

So So dvd of a great band
This is actually the 2nd Hives dvd, the first being an extra freebie in the "Your Favorite New Band" cd which I think is a better dvd of The Hives (contains 2 live sets as well as a lengthy tour documentary and videos). This "official" release is pretty lackluster in comparison, altho it does feature songs from Tyrannosaurus Hives which is cool. The sound quality is not consistent, with Nicholas Arson's guitar being barely audible and depending on what camera view is being shown, the sound level changes so you never get a consistent audio track. The live set is good, pretty much the set they played the last tour which is a very good one including their Dion & Belmonts cover. The Hives "movie" is interesting and well put together, even if the band never really appears in it. The TV appearances are good and probably my favorite part of this dvd. For a better produced Hives dvd, get the "Your New Favorite Band" cd and enjoy the free dvd that comes with it. This particular effort could have been done much better.

great fun!
Saw The Hives on Jools Holland and they looked and sounded ace! Bought this DVD and what a gig that was! Wish I'd been there! I took the sound from it and put it onto disc - My Mrs plays it almost every day! Great fun if you like crazy bands like we do

The Hives
To my shame only discovered this band from watching Jools Hootenanny 2012-13. Fantastic! Making rock music as it was always intended. Mad, energy sapping, and loud.

Perfekte Live DVD plus richtig gute Extras!
Also ich hab schon so einige Musik DVDs im Schrank stehn aber Trussles in Brussels schlägt schlichtweg alles....Obwohl man die Songs auswendig kennt, ist es immer wieder ein Riesenspaß diese DVD einzulegen....Ton & Bildqualität sind gut aber bei der Bühnenshow interessiert mich das ohnehin nicht...wer die Hives hört, erwartet schließlich auch kein audiophiles Erlebnis sondern eher kompromisslose-mitten-ins-Gesicht Nummern und genau das wird geboten :-)Pelle "Gesichtsdisco" Almquist und seine Mannen geben derart Gas, daß mehr als 60+ Minuten Livekonzert garnicht drin sein können... kompensiert wird das durch eine sehr sehr genial gemachte "Banddoku" im Monty Python Stil die zum Unterhaltsamsten an Bonusmaterial gehört, was ich je gesehen habe... Sämtliche Videoclips bis einschließlich der des Tyrannosaurus Hives Albums sowie einige Liveauftritte in Shows wie Top of the Pops (Was machen die Hives dort???) sind auch drauf... Was will man mehr?Sind JEDEN Cent wert und manche andere Bands sollten sich das mal ansehn und lernen wie eine gute Live DVD gemacht wird.Kaufbefehl!
