That avatar sure as hell isn't 100 x 100.

And I can't stand them. I've heard most of their recent singles and they sound exactly the same to me.

And the lyrics make me gag. 'Love was a gun separating me from you.' Are you serious?

Didn't they do a cover of Don't Fear the Reaper by the Blue Oyster Cult? I bet it sucked.

HIM is a good/great jazz band. Undermine bad music taste by listening to a different, better HIM.

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

HIM is also a really kickass dub/post-rock band.

I like them alot.However, the band you are talking about sicken me. Musically, I care not. However:

Unforgivable.
On a side note, I imagoogled for heartagram, and the website it gave me provided the strength of resolve required to will a spontaneous haemorrhage

...what the fuck?

I'm sorry, you asked what I thought, and then dismissed it as elitism just because I disagreed with you?

Nice one.

At one point during my (Death Throes) track 'Consumer Counterculture (Take Your Pathetic Scene and Shove It Up Your Fucking Arse)' the music drops to a mere crackle and I can clearly be heard screaming 'I'LL CARVE YOUR FUCKING HEARTAGRAMS INTO YOUR QUIVERING FLESH WITH A FUCKING ICEPICK'

I believe that makes my position clear.

Not, to be honest, that I have much musical beef with HIM. They are derivative, and generic, yes, and every song they've ever made is three minutes too long, but they're not offensive or anything. However, there was a point when Metal Hammer interviewed Ville Valo every month. It rubs me up hard when bands with such tiny amounts of originality or real talent* get so much fame, it gets on my tits. Plus, their lyrics are awful. Razorblades = love. Or something. We don't care guys, the only people who care are the 13 year old girls who got addicted to cutting because of your retarded lyrics. Not to mention that that's a shite lyrical theme. Congrats for prefiguring the emopop trend. Cunts.


*their guitarist is in To Seperate The Flesh From the Bones, and his solo album is ok, so I can't say they're talentless. However, they are and will always be generic finnish 'suicide rock'.

I agree. It doesn't matter whether it's Linkin Park, Korn, HIM, or anyone else, teenage agnst is probably the most overdone, unoriginal lyrical theme in modern music.

That is a monster of a myspace page.

I'm tempted to email that person and let them know that they are what's wrong with America, but I probably wouldn't be the first.

Personal profile sites are one of the great bastions of utterly revolting web design. One of the reasons I like Vampirefreaks so much, apart from the slightly lower amount of completely objectionable people there, is that they have an in-built CSS editor, which tends to elevate the general standard somewhat. Still, people have a wonderful propensity for awful, non-looping backgrounds and text colours that simply can't be read against them. Also, anyone with scroll-text should be shot.

This includes my friend Lottie. She's a lovely lass, and I've known her since we were both twelve, her myspace page can eradicate a mans soul. It has been known to randomly break my Firefox for no apparent reason.

Hahaha. I forgot who's it was, but I remember one with 3 full quizzes, 2 VIDEOS, one song, and a whole lotta random stuff. IT MADE MY EYES BLEED! I tried to load it on my 56k and it took around 20 mins to tell me that it was dead. Why does God (Allah, Vishna, Tom) allow this bullshit?!
HiM---> Bitching about myspace. That shows how interesting they are.

1) I love you and want to have your children
2) I also really like HIM... I have a thing for cheesy music, it's a problem ok?
I've never read any interviews with the band or anything but I would have a hard time believing that they take themselves seriously.
All that said, I can definately see where people are coming from and there really isn't anything particularly special about them but they are a lot of fun to listen to.

Man, myine was worse than that. Maybe we should start a new game entitled MySpace Sepuku. You look through myspace profiles until you find one that scars your mind. That means you 'win'.

I noticed that she has a huge list of people whom she loves. Or <3s or lessthanthrees or something.
Are you by any chance on that list?
