I LOVE HIM, I think Ville Vallo is one of the best vocalists in the last 10 years of Rock. Their music is amazing as well, what do you guys think?
I think that you are totally right!! lol I love HIM too. They are one of my alltime favourite bands and Ville Valo...well, their are no words to describe the man, frankly!!! Amazingly hot would be a good start i think tho! lol peace and love xxxxxx
I listened to them more before anyone knew who they were. Whenever I saw a heartagram on a piece of clothing, I'd get excited because.. someone else who listens to HIM! It was usually just a Bam shirt, though, and I'd be disappointed. Now everyone has HIM clothes that they bought at Hot Topic and it makes me sad. I still listen to them every once in a while. I just got kind of burnt out seeing them everywhere.
I most certainly do not shop at Hot Topic! That is a good charlotte, mest, and every other pop-punk band store. In fact, Good Charlotte BUILT Hot Topic. I shop at Goodwill and Thrift stores, most of the time, and have some other nicer clothes I get at the mall occasionally, or I oreder online a lot as well. It doesnt matter who you are or what you look like, I know people that listen to every type of music and still love HIM. My mom listens to classic rock and even likes them.
I personally enjoy HIM. I got into them before they were really big as well, thanks to a friend. I haven't listened to them much lately, though.. hmm..
I went thru an obsession last year where I bought everything they've released. Embarrassing really I still think Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights is an amazing album. Some of the b-sides and remixes are amazing too. Especially the acoustic version of It's All Tears and the trippy version of Pretending.
I get all excited when people talk about HIM here. Or anywhere else than in Finland, really. I think it's so awesome how they've become so famous in all over the world during these past few years. I don't really listen to their music much, just because that kind of music is not... my cup of tea, but I still don't think they suck. They started playing in small clubs here in Helsinki, and now they have fans from all over the world. It really is great and I'm happy for them. And same goes for Nightwish really.
My favorite HIM song is defenitly "Pretending"--I can listen to that song all day and not get sick of it. Plus, Ville Vallo is just an amazing frontman to watch on videos and in concert. (And he was raised Catholic too , not that I care what he was, I just think it's cool how he wears Catholic icons, rosaries, etc.)
