    Yeah, it's good, but I'm still getting into it.
    The worry is that they will split up soon, I mean, HIM has really become "Ville Valo and the other guys" and I'm not sure how much longer the ret of the band can put up with it, but then hey, who knows? Hopefuly they'll sitck around, I like them.
    Yeah, Daniel Lioneye is pretty good. Like I said, ddownload the Viva La Bam theme tune and you'll see.:)




    PEACE

    great! then it wasn't a bad idea to ask it for Christmas. :)

    yeah they have.. I mean, Ville Valo has always been the one making the interviews and that but.. it just can't work that way for long.
    not too long ago there was an interview with Burton and Mige (keyboard and bass) in our (local) newspaper. it had been done specifically without VV.

    but I do also hope they'll stick around. maybe they should do what Metallica did and hire a shrink. :D
    but if they start doing shitty radio friendly tunes they might aswell split then for all I care.

    hmm. I've obviously heard the Viva la Bam tune when I've watched it, but I think I'm gonna get it.. :D

    Seriously? Cool, nice to see other members of the band gettin some attention and focus.
    I hope not! I love Metallica but that was a dumbass decision, I agree with Jason, if four grown men can't sit down in a room and tlak their problems out then there's no hope.
    You should, you won't regret it.

    I have no interest in them, but heard the "Wings of a Butterfly" song a few times now, cuz the radio station here plays it constantly...the first time I heard it, I thought it was Lenny Kravitz, (don't know if it's just that one song, or he actually sounds like him) & was very suprised that's what they sound like, I expected them to be, um 'different' judging from what I've heard about them (they are my sister's fav. & she talks about them constantly...she needs help, I know)...the music actually didn't sound too bad, but my God, what a repetitive song.

    you're not disspointing me, dont' worry. :)
    I understand that people don't like them, cause I don't like and never will like all the bands other people like. :D

    yup, seriously. if it wasn't in Finnish I could try and get it here somehow, but it is, so.. :D it wouldn't be that useful. :D

    hmm. you're right. :) I just recently watched the Some Kind of Monster movie and I was really surprised to see that they really do act like that.. :o
    but they still make awesome music! :D:D

    I will. as soon as I can! :D
    again, thanks for the tip!

    Razorblade Romance kicks ass! :D

    Lenny Kravitz!? :eek: :D
    well, I certainly have not heard his voice in any lennykravitzy way. :D
    but we all hear things a little differently. :)

    The first album I kind of liked, but everything after that has been pretty much a rubbish. Nowadays their sound is closer to boyband than metal. It´s so sad that there are (and has been) so many better bands and artists in Finland than HIM but people just don´t know them, for example:

    Lapko (<- takes part in this years Global Battle Of Bands) (http://www.lapko.com)
    Disco Ensemble (http://www.discoensemble.com)
    Kingston Wall (http://themirrorland.tk/)
    Quintessence
    Giant Robot (http://www.giantrobot.fi) song Public=shopping: http://www.olympusamerica.com/Downloads/Songs/Giant_Robot_Public=Shopping.mp3
    Nuspirit Helsinki
    Paleface
    The Flaming Sideburns (http://www.theflamingsideburns.com)
    ...the dreams ain't broken down here now,
    they're walking with a limp

    hmm. I don't agree with you on the rubbish part but I'd say the quality has gone down..

    but I do agree on that that there are good finnish bands nobody knows about. like the ones you mentioned.
    although haven't heard all of them, but I have heard of them. :)

    They played Mexico City this last weekend... a person of the audience phoned the radio this morning to say "I have never seen a singer so cold or indifferent towards his crowd", and I assume this came from a fan...

    which is a shame.

    Kingston Wall was one of the best rock bands ever existed. Singer/Guitarist Petri Walli committed a suicide in jun 1995 and that finally ended the bands career, although the band had decided to split up already in dec 1994.

    About a month ago was released a live album called The Real Live Thing, which includes various performances by the band over the years.

    Comparing HIM and Kingston Wall, is like comparing Limp Bizkit and Pearl Jam. I suggest you listen to all the three studio albums that KW released and then think again how good HIM really is, is it really worth a topic in Pearl Jam forum? It really does´nt matter which album you start, but my personal favorite is II. You can also get all the three studio albums from amazon.

    I'm not compairing anything to anything.
    and, I have heard some KW and I think they're really good.
    and I still like HIM and feel they're worth a topic here.

    when I have the time and the money, maybe I will get the albums. :)
