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?

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

brrrrrr. s-s-s-s-so c-c-c-c-cold

pompous, soft rock with eyeliner and bobble hats, ffs. utter pish

he run out of dodgy meatloaf-esque b-sides then?

HIM? brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Edit: QB: great minds think alike

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

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

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.

BLASPHEMY!!!
Although I'm curious to hear it now..... If it actually exists.

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.

He's a cnut...................................NEXT!

so have i. it was in the pursuit of a review.

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

You might be thinking of Paradise Lost?

i don't think it's allowed under the national curriculum

I too have seen them live....blame the missus!

and didnt the m*****n support them on tour a couple of years back?

Nice summation of the situation, Quiff!

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.
Yes I've seen them live , pub goth at it's best.

Only as long as he's wearing the make up though.

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.
I'm curious what s/he'd write now that the poor thing has to resort to covering TOL?

i'm a sucker for eyeliner on boys. if it's on right.

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

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



YES, by all means! *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?

can't agree with the first one... bowie isn't attractive really.. sorry
