I don't get what the big deal is with HIM. I'm not saying that other people can't listen to HIM but I don't get it. I love metal, especially melodic metal but I just don't get it. I think musically HIM isn't bad but vocally it's nothing special. I also hate the fact that most kids walking around with HIM merchandise don't know it's for the band but only think it has something to do with Bam Magera(sp?).

Well HIM started way back in Finland in 97' before anyone ever even heard of Bam. But i do agree on everyone thinking its a "bamagram." And i seriously hope your kidding about the vocals because Ville is a pretty amazing singer..IMO. But all the band members are pretty talented to me. But its an aquired taste i suppose.

i usually think you have pretty good taste in music, but i will give HIM a second chance.

Actually, I'm not kidding about the vocals. They really don't do anything for me. Like I said, I like the music buyt the vocals don't seem that great to me.

It's really funny how the MTV fans think they created everything.

i didn't even know him was a band until my cousin played them for me one day, i was like, "YER NO COUSIN OF MINE LISTENING TO THIS CRAP! I RAISED YOU ON BLACK METAL AND THIS WAHT YOU BRING TO ME!!!" haha! yeah thats a case of mtv telling people what is good and them actually believing it. now if we could just convince everyone that pop sucks and most hip hop these days is just some shit with a few talented lyrical writers, most "modern rock" is actually modern pop, and nu-metal must go...

i think i shall go live in a cave... the music industry is dead.

[Hate_Breeder]

Just because you listen to one type of music you cant listen to another...

Shit i can go from listening to Marduk to listening to Cat Stevens.

But thats not the point. I always have an open mind when listening to music. I mean i listen to nothing but punk.. but i decided i would rather listen to different sounds then here the same thing over and over again.

And actually i can find a lot of music that i like...but you have to take a step back from the TV...quit watching Road Rules, and look somewhere other than MTV you will find good bands i assure you.

*cough* www.blackmetal.com *cough*

And listen to Twilight Ophera...but yeah as long as your up to something new its worth a shot. But hell..HIM isnt metal, and i never considered it to be metal. But its really melodic and cool to listen to. And plus you cant dog Ville because he writes the music for everyone, not just the lyrics..

A friend at work got a tatoo of the heart star thingy.

[gordytheghoul]

All I have to say is that music isn't just vocally, what ever happen to lyrically. I love HIM's lyrics, sure the vocals are a tad flat, but those lyrics. I mean Dylan isn't a great vocalist, but the lyrics. What can I say, the lyrics will speak to generations.

i have said you have a real good taste in music. seriously i will check out HIM since you have said they are good. from what i have heard if them i did not like them, but that was at a more metal-centric time in my life, i have really opened up to more music in the past year or 2. so i should be able to listen to them with an open mind.

[Preacher]

Listened to their stuff recently.

Not my kuppa tea I have to say.

[Hate_Breeder]

I just appreciate their talent. They have a lot of potential compared to most bands these days.

[Preacher]

Yeah man. Horses for courses thats what I say.

AS long as you like them thats all that matters. Dont think you'd like most of the shit I listen to.

There's some good ska style bands out there..... I dig as long as there's no trumpets and shit like that. How can you not get into those ska basslines??

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

HIM have two songs that I really, really like but I'm not really a fan. I like Ville, his solo stuff should be good.

I guess I'm being judgemental. but most SKA bands are soooooooo horrible and faggy like GOLDFINGER!

I've never heard Operation Ivy
