Well, they did do Backstreet Boys' Larger than Life and did it well. Haha.

Anyways, I think they should cover a KISS song. They haven't yet, and I'm surprised since they were such an influence on Ville and Linde.

i want them to cover the following songs

Stairway to Heaven- Led Zeppelin
Miss You - The Rolling Stones
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Love Her Madly- The Doors
Light my Fire- ""
Wild Love- '''

Black Sabbath - Sweet Leaf

I really like all of those songs and I think they would fit HIM pretty well.  I WISH they would do these. ;D

Tech N9ne?!?! Now, I love him and all, he's awesome, but HIM playing N9ne? No way, Ville doesn't rap. (I admit, I haven't heard I'm A Playa, so I don't know if N9ne sang on this song...)

dude seriously why must you just start arguements over people not liking the same music as you? KISS sucks to my taste i grew up listening to classic rock i dont like any of those kind of bands they arent in my taste just drop it and accept that no everyone has the same shitty taste in music as you do ( we arent all wiggers here)

Nobody should do a Pink floyd song except for Pink floyd....especially HIM, it wouldn't be good at all.  unless it was just Ville on acoustic or something maybe.

I always thought they would be able to do a Nirvana song quite well.

And dude, what is your problem? I mean, I didn't even post that, my girlfriend did and you're getting your panties up in a tight wad in your ass or something over it. You just love being an ass here to everyone just because you love being annoying. You are so small that you have to be an ass on the message boards to make yourself feel better? I don't give a shit if people like my music, I just want them to give intelligent answers. And I'm sorry if KISS is too black for you, only the wiggers like them. You fucking racist. I hate any and every single racist remark no matter who they are aimed towards or said by.

Elvis has some damn good lyrics. Maybe in the future they could cover? "I cant help falling in love with you"

Post by: JetBlack944 on July 19, 2005, 01:32:05 AM
Oh yea, an Elvis cover would be pretty cool to hear, especially with Ville doing his good deep voice on it. I'm not an Elvis fan, but I'd like to hear it.

I think they should cover Barry Manilow's "Can't Smile Without You."

No, really.  I'm totally serious.  I think the best cover songs are the ones where that take a song from a totally opposite genre and then are made awesome. Besides, HIM've done a cover of a Neil Diamond song and they've done a cover of a Tom Jones song (Sex Bomb, I believe) so they clearly need to do a cover of a Barry Manilow song since Barry Manilow is the poor man's Tom Jones. And Tom Jones is the poor man's Neil Diamond.  And, just in case you are wondering, Wayne Newton is the poor man's Barry Manilow.

In which case, they should probably also cover Dankeshen (or however you spell it)

See this lady right here hit the nail on the head.
the whole point of cover versions is not to sing the same song the exact same way it was originally recorded, its to take something that you wouldn't probably ever sing and make it your own song.

what is the point is singing it exactly the same fucking way? its boring.

they should cover something totally bizarre as un  - metal as you could possibly get.
Title: Re: What song(s) should HIM cover?
Post by: Ziggy18 on July 19, 2005, 11:06:28 AM
They should cover any Jethro Tull song or Rolling Stones.  and....
Bon Wovi- (that song that goes Wo Oh, We're Half Way There) lol ;D
Madona-Like A Virgin

I said those two songs cuz it's sweet how he sang those in the Conwertable,  ;D

Livin' On a Prayer...that would be it.  That part was the best.  Bon Wooovi. ;D

Or maybe a 50 Cent song.  He did say he listened to "Get rich, or try dieing." :P

It'd say on the H-I-M666 discography. I know they've done Frozen, but I don't know about Like a Virgin...

Or maybe a 50 Cent song.  He did say he listened to "Get rich, or try dieing." :P

Hell, he didn't just say listened, he liked that thing. As much as I don't like 50 Cent, it would be pretty funny to hear him cover that just for fun.

they've never done Like a virgin but they've done Frozen. i'd like to hear them do Temple of love (and yes i no they've done it before).

Why, thank you very much! I'm glad someone out there shares my views. I'm really pulling for "Can't Smile Without You" and I always get my way so eventually they will be forced to cover it. Don't ask how, it's a mystery.

I highly recommend that you listen to Sparklehorse's cover version of "Wish You Were Here". It is really depressing and slower than before.
As for other bands playing P.F. songs, I havent heard too many good songs being done.
I heard a bootleg of S.T.P. singing "Shine On Your Crazy Diamond" and that was an ok live song even if it was with one guitar.

HIM have done too many covers, they arent doing any new songs. They are just covering the covers they did in the past. I am sure pretty soon they will do more studio tracks off the live ones they did previously.

Don't look for that.  Doubt they will play that again.  Since they are trying to hit it big in America i doubt they would want to play cover songs.  Most people would then consider them a cover band.

They don't want to unveil anything new yet.  Just the songs we've heard WOAB, Killing Loneliness, Vampire Heart and Poison Heart.  Thats all i expect to hear from now till the release party.

And as i said before I figure HIM won't do any new covers on the new tour.  Besides Wicked Game and Poison Heart.  They don't want to be a "cover" band.

Ya, it does have a christmas vibe to it (or I just think of a snowy, cold night  when I hear it)

And I think NIght Side of Eden would sound better if it was sung by Ville cerca GLSV666. His voice has changed and he doesn't have the range he used to.

i quite like the "Rendevouz with Anus" by Turbonegro cover that HIM did.. i find it funny to hear ville singing "Spandex ass to make me kneel"... funny songs like that i'd like to hear more of. a NoFX song maybe? or Tenacious D... or perhaps interpol just because its so different.. plus ville really loves Antics.

It's funny why Ville smokes to lower his voice when on the new album he sings mostly high. W3rd...

Anyways...  I think they should cover VAST - Please Don't Take Your Love Away (I think that is the title of that song)
maybe

a soft one and shred it up and make it HIM style :)

Like they did with Wicked Game? I love that cover, so different from the Isaak version.

I still want to hear a KISS cover since HIM is so influenced by them. Appearently they did them live when first starting out, but no recording exist.

Yea, on Music from 'The Elder', the front cover is a big door ('Behind the Crimson Door') and two songs on the album are 'Under the Rose' and 'Dark Light'. Ville says that all of that was not intentional.

Anything by Nick Cave - before he went all crap and piano-ballady. I draw quite a few parallels between Ville and Nick - it would be fascinating to see what HIM did with a Bad Seeds song. I doubt they'd better any of them, but it'd be fun to see them try.

@ Len666Paint it black!! Yeah!! Can't agree more!!  8) Damn, how much I love that song... Is so powerful... and Ville's voice would make it even more perfect... well, maybe just different because Jagger's a master... but yeah, that's my option #1!

@ Jack_Skellington: White Wedding would be awesome too. Ville just can't deny his influences...  ::)


And other songs I'd really love them to cover are: Love you to death - Type O Negative and Sympathy for the devil - Rolling Stones ... and I think will be interesting if they cover any Guns'n Roses song, not sure about which one, but that w'd be wicked!  ;D

I would love to hear HIM do "I Was Made for Loving You" by KISS, I think that would be really great!

Maybe som more Billy Idol? "White Wedding"?

AND! I would really like to hear a studio recording of "Enjoy the Silence".

Id pretty much enjoy seeing studio versions of the random songs they've covered live. Rebel Yell, I Just died in your arms tonight, Enjoy the silence, or any others as well. Also someone else mentioned "I was made for lovin you" I think that would sound pretty awesome if they did it :)

Post by: Violet on March 12, 2007, 10:24:32 PM
i think they should cover like...dont fear the reaper or like...wicked game...

1 of those 2...or both...would be amazing.

Are you crazy? They'd never cover those. We all know the only things that HIM have covered have been teeny bop songs by artists like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.



Yeah, a version of Genie In A Bottle or Not Yet a Woman would rock :o

lmfao!!!!

I also thought it'ds be pretty cool if HIM covered 'Cry little sister' off 'The Lost Boys' Sound track.

As for the Paint It Black cover. I already think this song has been covered to death as well as Tainted Love (Although The Tea Party's version of Painted Black is sensational and so is Manson's in my opinion).

I agree that really HIM should do a cover of any Doors song because Jim Morrsion loved the lyrical sort of obsession with love as much as Ville seems to. For the sake of putting down song names though i'm going to say:

Maggie M'Gill - The Doors
Roadhouse Blues - The Doors

- DanteDarkwood

Yeah, I'd rather hear a "new" song covered, not something we've already heard. You know what would be neat, if HIM and 69 Eyes or some other band each covered the other band's song. Say HIM recorded "Crashing High" and 69 Eyes did "The Sacrament", something along those lines, and release it as a single. That'd be bitchin.

at the same time i cant really think of any band that would:P

I really can see them covering a Jethro Tull song, because Valo has mentioned them in more than one occassion liking them.  In the 2003 press interview he said he was too old to rock'n'roll but too young to die and in the last revolver the person interviewing him said he was listening to the melancholic skating away (on thin ice) by jethro tull.  That would be awsome.

Post by: MercuryAnne on May 07, 2008, 06:22:20 AM
That song was mis-titled on share sites as HIM, but it wasn't them.

So they never did Smells Like Teen Spirit?

Just curious, I have a version of Nirvana's Lithium that was supposedly done by HIM (it's acoustic). I never really thought it was HIM because when the singer forgets the lyrics, he talks with an American accent. There is a quote "...hopefully you can make use of our cheerful banter defusing our badness."

Wiki: "Finnish metal band HIM in a live cover, in which Ville Valo forgets the lyrics."

Does anyone know if this version a cover by HIM or not?

Post by: MercuryAnne on May 07, 2008, 10:21:18 PM
I never really thought it was because it just doesn't sound like HIM.

Another question about covers: I also have a version of Sweet Dreams that is apparently by Cradle of Filth and HIM but again, I don't hear any Ville (or Dani). I think it's labelled wrong because Bironic Man seems to be the only known Dani/Ville song.

Does anyone know if they did Sweet Dreams or not?

i think the vocal range of Roger Daltrey is very similar to what Ville can do.  Listen to the chorus. I can totally see(and have seen many a time) Ville sing like this. there's some fun keyboard work for burton. the guitar work is obviously very classic rock which is something linde does time and time again. those are the major points i think

nice! i think the funniest thing is that these older bands like the who (or rush) can play for 2 2 1/2 hours. but all these new bands call it quits after 1:15hr or 1:30hr. you'd think it'd be the opposite

there's a recording of your show here at

i honestly dont really see anymore covers comming out.

if they do...its gunna be a 'label' decision...not the bands...i just dont see them doing anymore covers for an album again...live yes...studio...not so much...

doing a cover song i think would have came out with DL if it was going to...or mayybe when the US hype dies out...the label may make them do a cover song...but other than that...i dont see it...if you dont understand my reasoning...doing a cover song is/has always been the "safe" way for the label to make sure the band gets on the charts...been doing it "since the beginning of time....5 years."
(ANYONE KNOW WHERE THAT QUOTE CAME FROM!? +5 IF YOU DO....)

mayybee...just mayyybe...we could get another SM-like single...but...i dont think we'll be seeing a DFTR album song ever ever again...

it was the first...and it was the last...

(ALSN doesnt count...greatest hits cd...so...get it outta your head.....i know what you were thinking! i know!)


just my 2 cents...

as far as groups covering him, and forgive me if its been mentioned, Im not reading through all 18 pages...

but if you like goth/industrial, dope stars did a pretty decent cover of "right here in my arms"

also...

I could see Ville dressing up as a nun (St. Scream) if you will and covering O Happy Days! (Sister Act referance)   ;D

Also,

Oh and these covers as well..

Welcome Back Kotter
Saved By The Bell
Family Matters
Inspector Gadget Theme (ILL GET YOU GADGET!!)
Captain Planet

1. "Nights in White Satin" - Moody Blues
2. "The Sound of Silence" - Simon & Garfunkel
3. "Crimson and Clover" - Tommy James & the Shondells
4. "Time of Season" - The Zombies

This is more or less a list of some of my favorite classic pop tracks, though would love to hear their renditions none the less (just as long as they don't go the way of the Razorblade Romance version of "Wicked Game").

I love seeing that quite a few HIM fans like Maiden. That's interesting because I posted a thread on a Maiden forum asking if anyone liked HIM and out of over 10 replies, only 1 person said they did! It's great to see the opposite on here. I'd love to hear Ville sing some Maiden as well! And some Queensryche too. I'd love to hear him on Eyes Of A Stranger!

Post by: KissTheVoid on October 20, 2014, 03:26:15 PM
After reading this I have so many thoughts! So I think I am gonna list it like this-

LOL- "Join Me in bed", Captain Planet, and then someone mentioned Sade. That made me think of HIM trying to put the 666 smackdown on Smooth Operator because that is the only song by her I know.... it was weird.

Agreement- Joy Division- Love Will Tear Us Apart, Moody Blues- Nights In White Satin, The Zombies- Time of the Season, Anything by Poisonblack or with Ville Laihiala *Edit- This post should have said Juha-Pekka Leppäluoto.

My crazy picks-

Iron Butterfly (I prefer the Thunderstorm version)- In A Gadda Da Vida
Garbage- Only Happy When It Rains
Trapt- Black Rose
Imogen Heap- Come Here Boy Girl
The Jacksons- Torture
Adam Lambert- Anything from the Beg For Mercy album or If I Had You

There's a myriad of rock songs that they could cover - and do justice to - but I think it's more fun to think about some off-the-wall other genre stuff. Here's my list of songs I'd love to hear them do:

"Everytime" by Britney Spears - They could do a great version of this. Maybe like a bit more rocking version of the Glen Hansard version.

"So Beautiful" by Darren Hayes - Maybe the time for this one would've been more like back in the Screamworks days, but I'd love to hear Ville's crooning on this track.

"Baby Baby" by The Vibrators - Okay, I'm being silly on this one. I just love how nearly all of the lyrics are "Baby" over and over.

"I'm Not In Love" by 10cc - Faster, more punk version with big guitar and a heavy, thumping bass part would be sweet.

"I Wanna Be Your Dog" by The Stooges - Would be a badass unexpected live cover.

[cross post] Cat Steven's "Last Love Song"

Quote
If you don't love me
Please don't treat me this way
Cause I can't stand it
I see our love slipping away
Did you think you could just put me down
Like a worn out shoe
Cause if you don't want me
Maybe I don't want you

If you don't need me
Don't leave me out in the cold
Eyes drifting by me
Like somebody you don't know
Did you think that you could just walk away
Anytime you wanted to
Cause if you don't love me
Maybe I don't love you

Did you think that you could just put me down
For somebody new
Cause nobody can love you girl like I do
Every little bird in the sky
Would sing a song of love

If you would just take me back
Come on open up your heart again
Let me in baby baby

If you don't love me
Stop fooling yourself
No more acting
I know your show too well
Did you think that you could just shake my hand
With a how d'y'do
Cause if you don't want me
Maybe I don't want you

Oh and as you go through life
It's the little things that come back again
If you came back again
You know i'd give my loving to you

That thing you said about Baby, Baby being your silly pick is kind of the idea of why I would like anything from Adam Lambert's Beg For Mercy album, because it has some kind of racy lyrics I would just like to hear Ville sing, I think my fav being "suck on a smoking gun". Mp3's Killed The Record Companies doesn't have anything like that but I also think it would be interesting. I just feel like the more pop like a song is the more badass it would be if they did it.

I like this list.....the Moody Blues would be a nice cover!  It's so hard to pick something because I think there are a lot of songs the band could really knock out of the ball park. If I added anything to the list I would pick Duran Duran "Come Undone".

When my band performs new songs, I always try and close the show with something relative, like a cover song that everyone recognizes and we can put a new spin on it.... Decided to record a cover of The Righteous Brothers his "Unchained Melody".  Here's the original version, and I only just realized that Ville would so this song some SERIOUS justice.  tell me what you guys think.
