Title: It's a shame
Post by: Spiritual_takeover on October 02, 2007, 05:44:37 AM
It's a shame HIM doesn't make videos of every song they release as single. I would've liked to see videos of Your Sweet Six Six Six and Vampire Heart.

Eh, woulda taken a lot of time and effort.  And they'd have a whole hell of a lot of videos, it would almost seem impractical and I can guarantee that HIM-haters would make it a point, a bumper sticker-centric catch phrase (read: "WHO DEY!") to accuse HIM of being too into themselves by saturating the boob tube with their videos.  I wouldn't agree of course but I'm saying it would happen.

What I find disturbing is that instead of making videos to other tracks they release as singles, they make even 2 videos to the same song such as Gone With The Sin or Killing Loneliness...

Or Wicked Game - 3 videos...
I would like to see It's All Tears (which was going to be single) or Your Sweet 666 instead 2 Wicked Games....

Wicked Game is a different story. The three videos belonged to three different versions of the song.

First two are nearly the same, and third one is worse. Maybe they should also make videos to 666 Remix and Live in Turku version, because they are bit different?

lets just face it, there are songs that are just to good to be made into videos

There are lots of reasons for why certain songs have two videos, and others have none. Wicked Game has 3 because,
a. the first one was done by HIM, to promote 666 WTL in Finland
b. German version was made for the GLS 666 version, to promote the band in Germany and other parts of Europe during thier first big expansion.
c. The overwhelming success of Razorblade allowed them to make another WG video, this time for the UK, America and the rest of the world. This time they had a bigger budget and could do a cooler video to show the rest of the world who HIM was.

Join Me has 3 videos as well, the first was to promote the 13th Floor movie. The second was the same video with all shots of the movie removed, so it was an all-HIM video. These were the videos played in Germany, Scandanavia and so forth. When Razorblade was released in the UK, HIM shot a newer video, again using a bigger budget which allowed them to do a video that better represented what the band was, as opposed to a video made to promote a film.

I would have liked a Your Sweet 666 video other than the stripper version of Wicked Game

this is what im saying.


it would be stupid to make every song a video.

for any band.

although i would agree it would have been cool.

i see a potential video for every song.

When Ville finally realizes his shit, he will lose fans rapidly, which means he loses money, which then he writes the new song


"Join me in debt"

Oh, I'd kill to see an It's All Tears video. But I do like the new teasers for VD, even if they are only 30 seconds...

a video for love you like i do would be a bit depressing but it would most likely go well with an older looking video
Title: Re: It's a shame
Post by: Grim on August 05, 2008, 05:10:35 PM
It takes like 500,000 dollars per video so you're talking about spending almost as much as they are making on the albums. That is like 5 mil per album buddy

Sure there're some songs we'd love to see the video, and some we don't want at all.
I like the Stripper version just because of Ville's outlook
