*confesses to having a secret crush on Villi Valo. :p

I am a fan...sort of.

I even have a tattoo of a Heartagram on my right shoulder (but that's more of a Wiccan symbol than anything though - a combination of love and the esoteric).

I listened to a few of H.I.M's albums over and over (when I was really into it), but out of all his songs, I only ever really liked 3 or 4...not enough to stay interested for long...and they all started to 'sound the same' and I got bored of listening.

The straw that broke the camel's back was when he covered 'Wicked Game' and I really love Chris Isaac's version and he totally destroyed it.

From there, I moved on to a Finnish band called The 69 Eyes and developed a brand new crush when I started to drool over Jyrki...then, I found out that Jyrki is exactly the same age as I am, to the day.

So, here are two songs, my fave by The 69 Eyes and another by H.I.M.

I'd definitely go and see H.I.M. in concert though!

I'm with you. I'm generally not a huge HIM fan (in terms of what I normally listen to) but I do like what I've heard and I would absolutely go see them live if they were in town.

And yeah the Wicked Game cover is bad to the bone. I like the original better, but to me they are essentially two completely different songs. I smoked many blunts in my last 2 years of college with the HIM cover as a backdrop.

Same. I love his voice and his image, but this is the only HIM song I really like. Mostly for the lyrical imagery.

They are alright though I like The 69 Eyes I saw mentioned earlier better.

I like their style, fits in with some of the darker rock music I occasionally dabble in. Favorite songs by them are "Vampire Heart" and "Under the Rose". :)

I think the original of Wicked Game sounds too feminine and weak.
