Description
Hate to say I told you so but I have a sealed copy of the Burning Heart release of The Hives Veni Vini Vicious. I think I outsmarted everyone already on this rare record but with supply and demand so high I had to put it up on Ebay since I already have two other copies. Don't be the main offender by bidding too low otherwise you'll have to find yourself another record.
There is a little ding here and there, yes, it has been in storage for some time. However, it is sealed. Never played. I am still shaking my head thinking holy crap this came out in 2000, it's 2014. Where did time go? How did I get so old? How did it remain sealed that long? Never you mind all of that, that is what my therapist is for.
I had the pleasure of seeing them on the tour of this album in 2000, the weather was horrible. It was at the Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland Ohio. It was beyond packed. They were the hottest thing going at the time. White Stripes, Strokes, Vines, all of it slammed into 2000 and broke the garage sound of indie rock. This album will go down as one of the best records of the 2000's without a doubt.
Selling this is like selling one of my children. I will not ship overseas, this stays in the god bless the united states of america.
They released their second studio album Veni Vidi Vicious in April 2000 through Burning Heart Records. The band themselves described the album as being like "a velvet glove with brass knuckles, both brutal and sophisticated at the same time". The album yielded the singles "Hate to Say I Told You So", "Main Offender", "Die, All Right!", and "Supply and Demand."
After seeing the video for "Hate to Say I Told You So" on German TV, Alan McGee (Oasis, Creation Records) decided to sign the band to his newly formed Poptones label. Poptones released the 'best of' compilation Your New Favourite Band in 2001, which proved to be their breakthrough record, reaching No. 7 in the UK album charts. Following the success of the album, the band re-released singles "Hate to Say I Told You So" and "Main Offender" which reach numbers No. 23 and No. 24 respectively in the UK Singles chart. The band also re-released Veni Vidi Vicious in the US.
It was during the promotion of Veni Vidi Vicious and Your New Favourite Band that The Hives signed a record deal with Universal Music, reportedly worth $50 million. This led to a dispute between The Hives and Burning Heart, who claimed that The Hives were still contracted to them for one more album.
The track "Main Offender" was featured in the video game Rock Band while "Die, All Right!" was released as downloadable content for the game's music store on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii.
