Sorry if this doesn't deserve its own topic, i realized ive been a member forever but never really post, so that'll change, but ill post just a clip cuz..well just cuz.. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4G5P2OJV but all the old original bmmb members should remember this, i wonder if anyone got official word where this was from or what it was meant for, cuz in 04 HIM's first US tour first thing i asked ville was listen, and i played it on my nokia n gage, he kinda giggled and smiled and said just another treasure lost or something along those lines haha soo anyone know for sure?

You're talking about "Too Happy To Be Alive". It was a demo for the then titled "Slippery When Dead" album. This was before Gas joined the band and they did not have a drummer to record with. A drum machine was used for the demos. Eventually the album was recorded as we know it today and went on to be called "Razorblade Romance" and the song was reworked.

yeah i remember that as well, i have teh slippery when dead long sleeve, but that was just our speculated idea considering i doubt we had official confirmation of that

Just listen to it, not hard to tell.
I love Ville's reaction. "Just a lost treasure..." He's like some kind of cryptic Dumbledore figure nowadays.

There is official confirmation in the new HIM book by Reinhart Hadyn. He says that the band recorded a few demos for the album using a drum machine. While no song titles are listed it's pretty much a no-brainer that THTBA is one of them.

by the way, do any of you guys who have the new book, do you guys recommend it?
is it good, with lots of pictures ;D
and words too of course, but is there alot of info we fans dont already know?
-
It's worth buying, if just for the pictures. There isn't too much information that a hardcore fan wouldn't know, but it's still a nice book.
-
I'm familiar with the song but never knew the history of it. Kinda like the name slippery when dead +1 karma

are the pics just promo pics or are there others as well
-
Alot of promo pics, but others as well.
-
kay thanks might order it then
-
by the way if any one wants the song or doesnt have it ill post it, if im allowed?
-
too happy to be alive is a great song, i think i like it better then the final song on RBR
-
so weird that this is the only song that leaked from the session

I always thought that as well. It apparently just appeared on the net randomly sometime a several years ago. I don't remember who it was exactly that found it.

i remember the day i stumbled across it on limewire. it took forever to DL cause like 1 person was hosting it. and while it was DLing i googled it to see if it was really a HIM song or just one of those songs the person didnt know who sung it and decided to titled it w.e. they wanted
-
gas came an album before burton, but i guess that must of been recorded somewere between the fall of 1998 and spring of 1999. I think it'd be a kool idea for someone to get all these old songs and shit, and make ville talk about for the next dvd, like 'A trip down memory lane' - The HIM story.

My cousin thinks he knows everything about HIM, and he has the Overdrive 98 and he said that that was when gas had long hair.. :P to him

No, he's stupid.. He just tries to be a know-it-all
-
gas looked awesome when he had long hair back in the kyyria days, but hes always been a hefty dude
-
why didn't they just redo it?

i cant picture gas with hair. although i am aware that he did cuz ive seen a couple pics and yes i looked rad, but now it would just be wierd lol.
-
haha I actually thought it was gas on the GLS album at first but then I looked closer and started to doubt my thoughts...and I guess then I read the member list or something to clear things out ;D
