I'm fed up with this number. There are too many HIM songs that contain it: For You, Your Sweet Six Six Six, Dark Secret Love, Sleepwalking Past Hope and Rebel Yell (the Billy Idol cover). What do you ppl think?
-
It's been a common theme for them, i personally like it alot. It's stupid that people take the number so serious, so i like that HIM have kinda dumbed it down with regular use.
-
Yeah, they use it so much that it loses alot of the taboo surrounding it. I'm fine with it though.
-
i am with u. Never thought about it b4 til u mentioned it, but yeah, he uses it maybe a bit too much
-
666 just returned to HIM songs after 10 years, and you want to "throw it away" already? :D
-
i'd like them use 777 too as in "for you"
-
I think 666 is a decent reference to make in their music. isn't it supposed to be paradoxical? the love of God and the hate of the devil... at least thats my take on it.
-
If you have a problem with it. Don't listen to it. :)
You can never have too much 666.
-
Agree, It almost wouldn't be right if they stoped using it it, since it's been there from the start.. it's like taking away the heartagram o.O
atl to me:P
-
Sometimes its okay, but sometimes it annoys me. I especially hate when u hear them live and he says it instead of 1,2,3,4. Sometimes u can hear it on live versoins the Sacrament, Passions killing floor....he says it like "....Shixx shixx shixxx go" hahaha. That just annoys me

My favourite is in Razorblade Kiss
"Six six six girl!"
Gotta listen VERY closely.
unless it's live.
-
He used to do it to start off WLADE back in 2000-2001. I liked that. :)
-
your fucking worthless.
-
So now 666 is a HIM brand just like the heartagram? I don't mind them using it but they could try to be more original once in a while, repeating themes doesn't mean they stay the same ol' HIM but shows lack of new ideas.

Exactly :D Six hundred sixty-six is HIM's trademark like Heartagram and Ville ;)

Ville must've bought the rights for the 666 right from the devil or smth :P.

Mine Too ;D I always love watching peoples faces, its almost subliminal. Theyre like, "Did i just hear that...mmm probably not"
-
it's only a number and ville has been more creative lately when it comes to using 666 when he used the number 616 as a substitute. i suggest you check out and love said no 616 version or endless dark 616 version.
-
666; it's only a number and it mean nothing for me.....
-
They use it a lot but it doesn't matter to me

If you are talking about that part before the guitar solo i can bet you a thousand bucks that is not "six six six girl", but "SIX SIX SIX GO"! I`ve listened to so many different live versions after i read your comment and it aint "girl",but "GO"
But back on topic:
I dont think they use to much 666 in their music,because it has only been used in like 5 songs and in "For You" for example its mentioned just twice in the song. And i think the use of "666" in their music suits their lyrical asbect very good :)
-
They actually need more 666.
The next album better reference it at least 11 times or I'm giving up on HIM forever.
-
The way that I see it is just another way to say how evil love is, and women in general.
Yes, Ville is acknowledging that it is evil, but in a fitting way. I quite enjoy it, and it's something to rub in the nay-sayers' smug over-churched faces.
;D
-
I think it's great they use 666....at least that's controversial but Ville had said that it doesn't means A LOT for him....just a number wich represents something in HIM's Lyrics.
It's a good way to get together God and Devil to me :P
-
it doesn't matter.. satan loves it though.. he told me
-
man o man. you're going to be bad during this tour. all 3 shows i went to ville dedicated your sweet 666 to man below.
they guys like sabbath and maiden. of course they're going to use that number even though they are far from satanist. you want to talk crazy. i went to see this amazing death metal band called 'behemoth' and for one of the encores the singer came out with a bible and started ripping the pages out. then he threw it into the crowd and GOD only knows what happened to it. then they played their song 'christians to the lions'
