HIM temple of love cover

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I've just heard a rumour that Ville Valo et al has done a cover of Temple of Love. Has any one heard it? Is it even worth commenting on?! I kinda liked their first few albums but gave up on them after that (became far far to samey, and wet!)- when did they do this cover?
Is this the place I used to know as Fatherland?

they're gash arent they, really?

the only reason goths (usually wee goth girlies!) like them is because yer man wears skinny tees, eyeliner and frock coats

and bobble hats ffs :o :roll:

if he didnt look like a mutated extra from the 1983 edition of just 17, HIM's brand of OTT nonsensical soft rock drivvle wouldnt get a second listen :roll:

utter s**t.

sometimes he doesn't wear anything much, and he does have pretty eyes. but that's about it.

there's a LOT of slash written about him, ville, i mean, not HIM.

I've actually seen HIM live.

But I do have the excuse that it was at Donington last year. It was funny; all the teenygoths wandering around in a field, having the p!ss taken out of them by the proper metalheads.

I thought they supported the sisters a few years back - may explain the cover.

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I loved their cover of "Wicked Game", I think their cover of "Temple of Love" will be fantastic as the singer has beautiful eyes and the guitarist has excellent hair. :twisted: :wink:
Yes I've seen them live , pub goth at it's best. :oops:

Only as long as he's wearing the make up though.
:urff:
I recall reading an article in some Polish music magazine a few years ago when HIM was a novelty. The author was sure that this guy, what's his name, Ville?, would become a new Andrew Eldritch for the younger goths.
:lol: I'm curious what s/he'd write now that the poor thing has to resort to covering TOL? :lol: :lol: :lol:

both bands played the same festivals: gelsenkirchen 1998(?) and m'era luna 2000 - but the mish supported HIM during their last tour in germany :roll:

Yes but Ems, there are lines which must be drawn surely! Levels to which we must not descend.

YES, by all means! :kiss: *W.I.B.B.L.E!!!!!!*

JUST SAY NO. Bad and wrong. Can't even give people the finger properly... not something we want in a man, eh ladies? :eek: :innocent: :twisted: :lol:
