Who likes HIM?

I started listening to them a couple of months ago, they are a good band.

Right now I own "Dark Light", and "Greatest love Songs Vol. 666".

I don't have a favorite song, i like all of them equally.

Hey Humble! How's it going?

To be honest, I never even heard of HIM.

Is there any songs out on youtube that you might suggest I listen to?

I pretty much have a basic setup here (still don't have a CD burner yet...for shame ducky lol). I've just recently upgraded the puter; she's running VERY fast now, so it can handle any downloads.

So I roam about and listen to stuffs on youtube and other sites.

Any suggestions my friend?

Hi TheDuckster, her is one of their videos, enjoy.

HIM is an amazing band. I started to listen to them three or four years ago, and I honestly believe they are one of those rare bands that do not have a bad song. A few friends of mine went down to New York and went to four or five of their shows in a week. It was all in the surrounding area I believe. They've done that more than once.

I've never seen them live, but I am a huge fan of their music.

Cool, what do you think is their best album? Any recommendations, i only have two of their CD's.

I want to see them live, my cousin saw them last year, lucky bastard. That was before I started listening to them, if not I would have probably went with him.

Inquiry Chissler?

Why did you decide to go back to 'John Lennon' avatar? Just for the record: I've favored the John Lennon one better, more so than the 'white boy' tee-shirt one. You've always been for the 'underdog' - just like John.

Now back to topics:

I'm gonna check out HIM!

Um Humble? Has 'HIM' ever done re-makes of NEIL DIAMONDS music?

Just wondering.

edit to include the vid:

Solitary Man

Is this the same HIM?

Hmm, not sure, I know they remade "don't Fear The Reaper" by Blue Oyster cult. I have to admit, that was a good remake.

Chissler might know if they've remade and neil diamond songs.

I remember listening to the song Solitary Man from HIM welllllll over 2 years ago!

Ok... we are definately on the SAME PAGE my friend!

This band is A-friggin 1 in my books!!!

Hey Duckster, was Solitary Man originally made by Johnny Cash or Neil Diamond?

NEIL DIAMOND!

Thanks, the youtube comments had me all confused.

Listening to Solitary Man by HIM, and I'm checking out the original as well..

AHA!

NOW...I remember HIM!

Yes Humble, this band is VERY good!!!

This is where I first remembered hearing of this band.

I was checking it out - Trans Siberian Orchestra

I was looking for new sounds at the time!

I 'happened' upon 'HIM' when hubby and I were checking out different musics.

I included the song 'carol of the bells' only because I had remembered when the first time I heard of HIM!

Here's a side to side with the 'Solitary Man' from HIM and from Neil Diamond:

Neil Diamond:Very Young Neil Diamond - Solitary Man

HIM: Solitary Man

BTW? Humble?

I like your new Avatar hon!

Way better than the 'creature biting heads off of a human' one!

Your Avatar is becoming 'intricate'.

Thanks, i just changed it again, i wanted to change the text color but unfortunately i don't have enough points. :bnghd: :bnghd:

Cloud is beyond a doubt my most favorite character in the final fantasy series!


He exemplifies being a 'humble' individual. This character gave 'beyond all means' for the benefit of world.

Humble?

Did you like my pityful side by side comparison of Solitary Man?

I just wanted to show you "The beginnings" of songs, and how they can be re-done by others in a different light.

Personally, I like HIM'S version better. What do you think?

[edit on 17-5-2007 by TheDuckster]

thanks the duckster, I too prefer HIMs version.

Now, if only I could get this damn text color changed.
