He and the rest of his band mates swear that
The Hives were formed by a
mysterious man named Randy Fitzsimmons who supposedly sent each of the
five members a letter in the eighth grade asking them to form a band.
Fitzsimmons is also credited as the band's songwriter. It has since
been suspected that "Randy Fitzsimmons" is a pseudonym for Nicholaus
Arson, though he denies this.
