    These. Guys. Rock.
    HIM is a finnish love metal band.
    The name HIM in the USA is taken, so here they're known as HER.
    HIM = His Infernal Majesty
    HER = Her Evil Royalty
    If you go to http://www.heartagram.com/ and click on MUSIC, it will have the cds at the bottom, you can click anyone, and when it comes up it will list all the songs. If you click a song you can listen to it.
    Ville Valo is the lead singer, and he = love.
    He's on Viva La Bam alot, because him and BAM are best friends.
    Also, BAM's skate logo and BAM's dining room all feature the heartagram, the HIM band logo.

    Yeah, Don't Fear The Reaper was a good remake..
    They also redid Rebel Yell by Billy Idol & Larger Than Life by the Backstreet Boys.
    Both are really kick ass.

    I bought Love Metal due to my best friend obsessing over them, for the low proce of £5.99 about four months ago. They aren't a bad band, maybe they would border on amazing if:
    1. Their drummer uses more than two rythms per album.
    2. Ville Valo stops breathing like a dog every couple of lines. It's one of lifes many mysteries how he can do that, have such a shitty beard but still be regarded as a sex symbol. :mellow:

    It's probably because he smokes onstage... I wouldn't be surprised if he smoked during recording.

    HIM's pretty cool, a little weird, but cool. I still like Blue Oyster Cult better, especially the original version of Don't Fear the Reaper.

    I really like HIM. They're not too popular in the U.S. or at least around where I live. They have their albums in Hot Topic (imported). Love Metal costs about 30 dollars here. I wonder why they only released Razorblade Romance in the United States.
    I do know that Bam Margera is a fan of HIM and that he's friends with Ville, but I never saw Ville on Viva La Bam. He was never on it was he? Did I miss out on this? :'(

    HIM are ok, although, in Greece, only teenies really like them. The bad news is that their becoming popular has led all Finnish bands more pop, in an attempt to become love metal...

    HIM are good when you're in the right mood. A lot of their songs sound very samey to me, and the subject gets a bit boring...but yeah, when you're in the right mood it's good. I love Valo's voice.

    My favorite song would probably be the Wicked Game cover.

    I'm not a fan of HIM at all, maybe it can be put down to my taste in music, but for some reason i just can't stand them. His voice is just an example of that droning, low, heavy breathing and no pitch which i think is being used in music too much nowadays. I don't want to offend anyone who likes them, but that's my opinion.

    My three favorite songs by HIM are:

    + Join Me In Death
    + Pretending
    + Wicked Games (haha the HIM cover is better than the original :lol: )

    Funny, because when I mention the band here in America everyone knows what I'm talking about. But if I mention HER, they don't know what I'm talking about... :unsure:
