Ode For Cruelty He sounds so awesome live, i've seen them two times live and they were freaking incredible. Everything was spot on and Ville rocked the stage, i'm proud to be a fan!
Glad I was in the skateboarding scene back in the day and discovered bands like this growing up. As a country boy from the south, I absolutely love this kind of rock!
Mr. Heartless &Diabolical rapture are masterpieces, signature and core of the band back in times. Personally I’d say epic period of the group . Hard tough melodic sound with stunning lyrics. Unique. 🌹
To OP's credit it's also my favorite HIM song. It captures a really cool atmosphere that only really exists in this tune compared to other songs in their set. Not for everyone probably 🙂
i heard the live version first and was totally amazed by how good the song was and how good they were live that the studio version was sorta disappointing, ville’s voice in the studio version was just too low
Now, see listening to Ville from 13 years ago is so much different than the way he sounds now. This is their best song and off their best album, but it feels as though we haven't heard Ville really get into his music as of late.
I loves white men, especially long-haired white men, they are totally sexy, totally cool and totally cool, I'm almost white my own self, I'm part white, part black & mostly American- Indian, Ville Valo is drop-dead cute, cool & sexy & HIM are cool, too .
Do you know anything about a new album being released? Everyones heartbroken about them breaking up but no one asks about a new album to kick off the farewell :/
Ashly Bonesteel omg farewell tour?! You're kidding 😩 why?! I've loved this band since I was 14 years old! I'm 25 now, I've always wanted to see them live oh man.
Grace P I know right, 14 to 22 for me. Still waiting on the dates. I'll drive across the country if I have too 😅 "After a quarter of a century of Love and Metal intertwined we sincerely feel HIM has run its unnatural course and adieus must be said in order to make way for sights, scents and sounds yet unexplored. We completed the pattern, solved the puzzle and turned the key. Thank you.” That's what Ville said. 😣
Petar Maksimovic He doesn't strike me as an asshole like that. He has his moments, sure, but I think he's always given credit to the people that deserve it.
Nico Pohjola No not him, it feels more like the band just do what he says because they don't have a clue, it's all his ideas... Well at least in this period...not today.
Petar Maksimovic As a musician myself too, I'd say that it's not because they don't have a clue but more like because he simply does it all first. I mean usually the main songwriter calls the shots, that's just how it goes.
