    I believe I speak for more people than you think, when I say…Yaaaawwwwwnnnn. How these guys made it out of the bar I have no idea. The only thing they have going for them is Downie and even he is hard to take after a while. Classy fans to.

      Dave – I don’t think you have a clue about The Hip, or their fans.

      • Debbey

        Well, now now.. If Dave is being sarcastic, then I would agree…
        I am a VERY BIG FAN OF THE HIP!
        I will not go to another Hip Concert… unless I absolutely LOVE the ticket.. if I think about where the seat may be… it will be… DO NOT PURCHASE…

        My apologies to other Hip Fans… but The Hip have The MOST ARROGANT, COLD, & UNFRIENDLIEST GROUP OF FANS….

        I have wasted too much money on Hip Concerts that really left me really EMPTY…and one concert, I left badly bruised & aching…. because of the crowd! :P definitely NO OUT DOOR CONCERTS FOR ME! as far as The Hip goes :P

      Or a clue as when to use “to” and “too”.
      Way to spell.

      Whatever you stupid douche bag! What have you done with your life that you can sit there and yawn at any one! Have you sold millions of records or even written anything that anyone would take seriously! Who are you to judge anyone. Keep your stupid opinions to yourself!!!

      I just wanted to inform those of you who hate the Hip that you are now allowed back onto the Justin Bieber chat forum…

    • ANGER LOCK

      Ummm anyone who says these guys are crap, is just plain stupid. this band is a canadian icon, up there with nickleback & rush, they are known all over the world, so keep your silly comments to yourself!!!

  • Tom

    Dave – Why would you be interested in this article if you are not a hip fan? and why would you then make a comment about the fans and the band…that you obviously have no idea what you are talking about?? I’m a huge hip fan and I have loved them for a very long time. I have seen them many times (19) live and they have never disappointed. Downie is a great front man with an amazing stage presence and I absolutely love his lyrics….Armed with skill and it’s frustration and grace, too

  • Debbey

    It all sounds very positive :)
    I always wondered if The Hip would top *Fully, Completely* and then *We Are The Same* came along… Now I am wondering if The Hip will top *We Are The Same*? I guess, we’ll find out :)

    Hope to hear the rest of the interview :)

    Cheers!

  • Dennis

    You are right dave, you really do have no idea………but how bout that Nickleback or theory of dead man. peace

  • Scott

    Hey Dave, move to the USA and listen to Britney Spears. I’m from the States and the Hip could be one of the top 5 bands of all time and just keep getting better. This is great news! Hip Hip Hip. Wish we had talent like them to call our own.

  • The Hip are # one. The knob that wrote the bad review about the best Canadian band ever must be a Brian Adams fan. Or maybe just a close minded person. I look so forward to the new music from the hip. I really think this guy that bashed the Hip has no class at all. Here’s to the power of the Hip I have seen them 26 times, and I am looking forward to the 27th..

    Thanks,
    Cecil

  • Marc

    Leave Dave alone with his NickelCrap CDs.

  • Brad

    Hey Dave!…blow it out your ass GOOF!!!

  • Chris

    Hey Dave!!!
    Everyone is entitled to their opinion and everybody is different but, THERE’S NOTHING MORE CANADIAN THAN THE HIP. They’ve survived this long for a reason. Some members have their own projects they work on but they will always be a great team together.
    Their music is ever evolving. Your loss. They work hard at what they do and it shows.
    A Hip Fan from day one. Well, the first time I saw the video for “New Orleans” on Much Music years ago.

    Personally, I’m excited to hear of another album in the works. At first, I’d also love to say ‘there is nothing more Canadian than The Hip’ but after moving overseas for 10 years I can tell you, they are much more than that. I know of a little public radio station (PBS) in Australia, up in the mountains, where The Hip are in full rotation – and the DJ is not even Canadian. There are Hip fans everywhere and in the strangest places and their music represents ‘good times’ no matter where you live. That fan ‘arrogance’ is being mistaken for pride and I think we have the right to be proud of this group of guys, ESPECIALLY considering how much the music market is dominated by American bands … yet they shine through. I hope they keep churning out Hip records as well as side projects so we don’t have to listen to the likes of Justin Beaver. Lastly, if you don’t like being bumped around, don’t go to an outdoor rock concert … it’s par for the course and has been a well known fact for many many years, people that complain about being bumped in a rock concert are probably the same people responsible for the necessity to have instructions on a bottle of shampoo (no folks, it doesn’t go in the eyes).

    Go fuck yer hat fuckstick

  • the honest Man

    The HIp are useless.. and never played outside of canada.
    It pisses me off this shitty band makes records…that our tax dollars pay for..
    and downie u are a mumbling retard…and jesus christ the !%!@# guitars are off key…i guess that so they mimic downies off key voice.

    To all the people that like the hip…take a long walk off a short pier..
    get off welfare…get a job…and like real music..

  • Honest Man 2

    Why do you put out music you bunch of untalented twits. None of your albums went anywhere for sales in the US and I am Canadian. I am proud to support Rush and other talented Canadian bands.

  • hip fan:)

    I’m a fan. If your just unkind why say. anything
