Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


** Taken UpToEleven with "Come On," which is a minute long, and the lyrics consist of Pete yelling the title over and over.

* ThatCameOutWrong: A 2013 concert in Boston had this piece of stage banter: “This song’s for everyone in Boston. It’s about stuff blowing up. It’s called 'Tick, Tick, Boom'.” Considering the Boston Marathon bombing happened a few months prior, it was not the right combination of words, and Pelle Almqvist issued an apology the next day saying he should've remembered the tragedy.

to:

* BigYes: BadassBoast: Being cock-of-the-walk is part of the Hives' charm. This trope makes up a lot of Howlin' Pelle's stage banter, but a lot of the songs themselves could fit this too. "Tick Tick Boom" is an example. The title of "Hate To Say I Told You So" says it all. "T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S." is a badass boast about the band's own ''concerts.'' And then there's "Outsmarted" which combines this with TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
-->''Now I'm the kid who put the shit back in place \\
And I'm the one who threw it back in your face \\
It took a little bit of intellectual shit, diversity and wit \\

And you're the one who's always fitted the frame \\
Still such a fool \\
