HIM @ PORTO IN JUNE
Prime Artists confirms the return of HIM to Portugal.
June 17 at Hard Club, Porto.

This was said by a respected metal journalist in Portugal.

I'm guessing this confirms that a new tour is on the works!!!

Can't believe they're coming back to my Hometown 13 years later!!!

RECORD IT!!!!!

thank god their are really returning in 2017
according to their statement regarding "No Helldone this year", they should be playing some new songs right?

whoever attending, just install some RecForge app on your smartphone, and record the gig on audio.
4 dates confirmed in 2017

hopefully they will add more dates, the best would have been Vienna or Bratislava in June too, i have a birthday on June 7th , come on :-D

guys, they are back!!!

We should make and effort in order to know who is going to record the shows and is going to share them with the community.

 I can say that I will try to record the Oporto Show. I'm not going to record it only if someone form the staff finds the recorder, but i know the venue and that is not very likely to happen.

Will record the shows. And the main reason I'm going is for new songs, and to finally see Jukka play in person. It'd be rad to be there for a song premiere. I'm sure some of you guys on here have seen a few premieres.  ;D

Only Dead Lovers Lane I've heard premiered I think.. Jukka hits harder than Gas and has a lot of great drum fills he throws in to the songs.. spices things up a bit  ;D

I wouldn't have wanted to be at Give It A Name Festival cause Ville looked like death warmed over that April a month before he was told if he didn't stop drinking, he would die.

source? info?
A local newspaper with an interview with the owner (Vesa Keskinen) of the place (Veljekset Keskinen, translates to Keskinen Bros). He's turning 50 on July 13th and he said HIM will be performing at Miljoona Rock festival this year :) It's like his birthday party. I am going there, and this time I'll somehow record the HIM show. Any tips for recording with a Samsung Galaxy S6? I found some apps which can control the gain of the phone mic, but the audio can't be saved to a lossless format. I mean the S6 recordings usually come with horribly clipping audio.
Title: Re: 2017 Tour
Post by: 616 on January 13, 2017, 01:44:57 AM
i was searching for something about it but could not find so i will add it to the tour dates when it is confirmed
buy this, its cheap and worth it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dje073.android.modernrecforgepro&hl=sk   you can control your gain so when in loud environment you will just turn it to -18dB and it will record just fine , you can save it in flac or wav and it wont interrupt you after few minutes . I will enhance and edit your audio when you will have some clipping, i can get rid of those unwanted artifacts and it will turn out good when i am done

He says in the interview that his schedule for the evening is already decided to be four bands playing, including his favourite one, HIM. But the tickets aren't for sale yet. I think they made the deal of HIM performing in 2017 earlier like three years ago.

any idea if there are plans to shoot the concert proshot? I feel like it's been forever since we've gotten one...since 2013 if i remember right...I'm anticipating if the band has yet to change their live sound (eg, maybe a more Gothic sounding setup around 1998 era) or a "poppy" live sound like we've had recently

We have few proshots from 2014 (Soundwave and Las Vegas are full, some songs only from few gigs too like Poolbar or Knebworth?), there are never plans to do it, this band does it less and less..... if there is no webcast from some festival or some magazine have permission to make some report or something there wont be anything. Chances that they are going to capture the performance for some live DVD release is slim or none. They had poppy sound recently? I dont know maybe i missed something but they sounded pretty normal/decent/hard in 2015 (at least to my ears and my cameras microphones in Bratislava and at the Fezen fest). It most likely depends on the setlist and songs in it.... can you imagine some heavy Heartkiller? Or gothic In Joy and Sorrow? I mean, they sounded like on CD and some songs were heavier than CD - for example Your Sweet 666 was pretty heavy and Bleed well was raw as fuck in 2015. I know what you mean with 1998 - Ville had different sound, they played songs from the first album - of course they sounded more gothic, but how many songs from the first album they are playing ? I dont count Wicked Game as they do RR version , but in 2015 Wicked Game was pretty heavy too! And WLADE is flawless anytime when you hear it live in the venue.

INJAS Gothic would be great!!!! I was recently listening to an old show [Rock am Ring 01] and their effects on the instruments were amazing,as well as the key they played in, my first favorite setup was the VD tour...Heartkiller w/ an organ intro would sound great IMO. what I meant by poppy was that lately HIM has played at a higher key than I've ever heard them....I don't know what changed between 2010 and 2012 (live in hel ep.) but the rasp in Ville's voice seems to be gone...almost like he may have had surgery on his throat....After shuffling through the albums year by year, I noticed that Ville starting singing without "cracking his voice" eg. the first verse of YS666 on GLSV666.
can't tell for sure if it's a studio effect or not but they started using it when recording DSABH.

is there anyway to somehow get some kind of fund going? Like a way to buy some kind of equipment to record at the show or pay someone at the soundstage to record the gig. I mean, it may be a grey area, since it's recorded live it cant be copyright. I may be dellusional though, lol

I generally only moan if the Helldone set list is shit the normal tour shows I expect it and it's my decision to go or not. Hopefully the new tour will mean new album and new songs. I just don't think they realise how much the fans want to hear some different stuff. Even if they just announced a show where they'd play an album in its entirety, it'd be the most excited I'd been for a show in years.

because we are fans, we love them and wanna see them play, wanna see them active and wanna hear them. Of course we are bitching when they play the same overplayed songs but honestly if HIM played in your town, only setlist of wicked game , babl - 5 times each and encore - 5 times rotwoab - would you stay at home or would you go to see them? dont lie , i know you would have been there to see them
Title: Re: 2017 Tour
Post by: SIRJARVIS01 on February 08, 2017, 02:14:21 AM
I don't care how overplayed it is, the band is unique. I download a bootleg just because Linde improvises a solo or ville changes some lyrics. I have hope that they will keep evolving.

Don't speak for us all. I'd happily go see HIM live and they could play one song and it would still be the best gig ever. It's seeing the band members, wondering what witty remarks Ville will say, it's all that. HIM are one of them bands I'm always wanting to see more and more of. This will be my 9th show in June and I won't be stopping there even if they open up with babl every time. Doesn't bother me one bit.

BUT people do have a point about their set list being repetitive. These five guys have over 10 albums worth of material and it hasn't changed in years. I feel as if they don't listen to their fans. I mean, God knows the crowd would go nuts even if they did ONE random cover at a show. Reminds me of how nuts the crowd went when motionless in white covered "Mother " when they opened up for HIM

The tickets already purchased are valid for the new venue.

Post by: Ziggy18 on March 08, 2017, 11:56:57 AM
I had a crazy dream i went to a weird country to see them on this last tour at some all white theatre lol. 

U.S. and FINNISH DATES TO BE ANNOUNCED"

They really should honor all the US fans and add dates.  Even if its early 2018.   Why would they say this and not follow through.   Im guessing Helldone will be added with US dates.   Even if not super close to me, id still travel to closest city to Pittsburgh.

I thought about it, i would even do Mexico, Canada or even west coast but im not going to Europe or overseas.  It has been a dream of mine to see them in Finland but its just too much.  I would probably have to go by self if i did, it would be hard to convince someone else to fly all that way.

Fingers crossed for all of us from the states!

definitely who knows maybe after this tour they'll reconsider seeing all the fans again and possibly selling out all of the shows, I do remember Gas wasn't the happiest when he noticed most of the tears on tape shows weren't sold out or close to be, bad promotion on the album most likely I know that's not the whole reason he decided to leave but maybe call it the farewell for now tour and give us some hope of more music in he future even if it is one more album 5 more years down the road

I'm wondering just how long this farewell tour will last. I'm thinking it goes into 2018...it seems a lot to squeeze in. I doubt it was a hasty decision, just seems rushed.

Of course that could just be my own disbelief.

Post by: 616 on March 11, 2017, 11:40:43 AM
do you guys think they will play regular best of singles, hits setlist - as in 2015 - every gig the same setlist - or they will rotate more songs in setlists and they will play something rarer? i mean, for fucks sake i know this band, i know the always plays the setlist based on the singles and hits and we always had high expectations and hopes and they always turned us down, played the same shits
maybe for someone it is more likely the time that "yeah they are gonna play rare songs" , but i fucking feel that this is exactly the time to bring the same shits to the table as its the last time, so lets enjoy the best of for the last time. I am expecting once they didnt do new songs, they decided to end up the entire HIM i think that this Farewell tour is just a gesture for a fans as they have been off since 2015 and its wrong for them to quit everything just without anything so they are doing this just for fans - so my hint here is that they probably wont put much effort into rehearsing and practicing songs that they did not play in 10-15 years or never, and they will just practice the same songs they dont have to learn and practice too much so this is my prediction and i am really not gonna change this post and i wanna see how many of the songs i will "have" after the tour is done:
BABL
ROTWOAB
RHIMA
JOIN ME
WICKED
SWEET 666
WLADE
FOH
SOUL ON FIRE
KISS OF DAWN
POISON GIRL
IJAS
ITS ALL TEARS
BW
KILLING LONELINESS
ALL LIPS
TOT
HEARTKILLER
SCARED TO DEATH
REBEL YELL
SLEEPWALKING
HEARTACHE
SACRAMENT
BURY ME DEEP

i probably dont have to tell that i would rather hear Resurrection for the first and obviously last time as its my most favorite song in the world and i never had chance to hear it live, i also really wanna hear And Love Said No. I would fucking paid fortune to hear Shatter me with hope or The beginning of the end.

Today i watched some old gems like - St. Petersburg 2001, Semifinal 2003 and Rock Im Park 2001 - i am gonna fucking miss them, seriously they were always so solid and they brought a lot of joy to my life. At least i hope they will play One Last Time on this tour.

guys, you all have smartphone - even if you dont wanna stand still and tape.... and wanna enjoy properly the gig for the last time, at least start the audio recording on your smartphone, leave it in the pocket. It would be a shame if we missed something like when they played Loves Requiem in 2014 - for once in the lifetime - at least there is a proper bootleg of that gig. It would be bad if we missed some gem. Altough i think that my setlist is 85% as its gonna look like :-D
Title: Re: 2017 Tour
Post by: avr on March 11, 2017, 12:05:21 PM
My ideal setlist:

SOUL ON FIRE
HEARTACHE
SOLITARY MAN
JOIN ME
FOR YOU
BABL
RIGHT HERE
SLEEPWALKING
WINGS
FUNERAL
AND LOVE SAID NO
IN JOY & SORROW
KISS OF DAWN
INTO THE NIGHT
ENDLESS DARK
666
REBEL YELL
HEARTKILLER
ROSE
LOSE YOU TONIGHT
RAPTURE

ENCORE:

WL&DE
ONE LAST TIME

I really hope they record more than one whole concert want me to DVD out of the tour for God's sakes I'll say it once and I'll say it again we need at least one more box set that's well deserved maybe  love metal archives Vol 2. This is a farewell tour for god sakes it would be a little selfish of the band to not listen to their fans for at least just this once I mean if the tour is going to go all the way into 2018 there's a lot that can happen in ways of production of the DVD or even a new live CD

Dont forget Antto and Patka performed their goodbye in HIM in Tavastia 2000 too (yet they were out of band since 1998, Patka early 99)! on WLADE!

the whole farewell tour seems very very sloppy....I don't understand how they can squeeze in a US tour in these few months if they don't even have venues booked yet. Whenever there is a tour in the US, Ticketmaster has them announced MONTHS before , as well as who is opening for them. There's 6 months left, and there's 3 months worth of gigs already in place at the end of the year....there seems to be a broken link in the chain here.....it doesn't help that they're not keeping fans in the loop either

Title: Re: 2017 Tour
Post by: 666WTLOnVinylFTW on May 24, 2017, 10:13:26 PM
Because it's the most fitting way for the band to end their time as HIM. Tradition, plus the symbolism of out with the old and in with the new. That whole not playing the show unless they had new songs to perform was bullshit. They used to say they wouldn't perform new songs live before the album came out anymore because of people bootlegging them. That's never been a rule for the New Year's shows in the past. They just weren't interested in putting on a Helldone and that was the best excuse they could come up with so fans wouldn't be mad since there was, at the time, a new album to look forward to.
Title: Re: 2017 Tour
Post by: SIRJARVIS01 on May 24, 2017, 10:33:31 PM
They preformed alsn and solitary man months before the album release...hell they even played killing loneliness and vampire heart during an official broadcast and still made a crap load of sales.

I don't lnow...i look through the forums,  here and other sites and there isn't much positive energy drawn from this...i mean who knows what's going on behind the scenes while fans are left to speculate all over the world? I get 1000 percent excited one minute and depressed the next. Then I go from sad to angry....i must not be the only fan feeling this way...
Title: Re: 2017 Tour
Post by: 616 on May 25, 2017, 01:08:13 AM
currently they are rehearsing .... you can figure it out from Kosmo official FB page

the July thing started as misunderstanding 1+1=2..... They say on heartagram.com that US dates and Helldone to be announced soon and on the official Helldone FB page there is announcemend that the Helldone tickets/dates will be available in July
so someone tought that Helldone = US dates.... there was July mentioned TO HELLDONE so they connected it with US dates..... its the same bullshit and misunderstood facts as many times and actually all the times... as with the new album and stuff. Ville says "something with HIM" and fans actually spread that there will be new album because Ville said that. But he didnt, obviously. He meant Farewell tour. But fans gladly believe what they wanted to be truth, there is still like 50% of the fans convinced that there is a new album going because it was mentioned on the BLOG on eventim.de...... the fact that eventim itself denied it and said that it was misunderstanding of the blog writer and its not the fact.... fans still believe it and are convinced ... because they wanna believe it. Its the same as with the religion .... when someone is convinced and wanna believe in something , you cant explain anything to them, because they are most likely to deny the facts as they dont fit to their belief

this is exactly HIM community thing... twisted and bended words connected with other stuff from uncofirmed sources, believe, a lot of hysteria, and making it fitting what everyone wants it to be. You cant explain fans basic things because "what is on the internet, is the truth"..... attitude is stubborn
you cant explain that "This is only the beginning" is just fan made title for the demos from 1995, the same as with the "Slippery when dead" ...... its pure fiction and bullshit based on lack of information

It's hard to get too excited for a tour that's pretty much up in the air at this point still as far as we know and likely won't be any different from the tours before it except for it being their last. Ville's voice is just about shot and likely biggest the reason why we don't ever see much of a change to the setlist any more. He simply cannot sing a majority of their catalog these days. Even the songs they perform now he has to sing certain passages in just about every song a different way because he can't do them properly at his age. Not trying to knock him at all, it's just the reality of the situation and it obviously brings down the quality of their live shows. I want to get excited and hope for the best, but it's hard to considering all of that.

So I checked whether the blog was actually corrected because I hadn't heard anything about it.
Turns out it was but they never even mentioned it, much less admitted they had misunderstood/just straight up invented something. Not cool, eventim >.>
The part that used to say there would be one last album now says they'll retire from the stage.


Tbh, I'm not and haven't really been excited about any HIM 'news' for a while because you honestly just can't be sure whether whatever the news say will actually happen. I got my ticket for the farewell tour as soon as possible of course and all but... I'll get excited later.

This is once again one of the situations where being a bit of a pessimist (or you know, realist) is a good thing. You won't be disappointed if you didn't really expect anything in the first place.

At this point, I could care less about the tour and would just want to know if everything is ok between them...or for them to issue a statement to why they broke up. I'd like to hear it from Linde, MIGE or Burton as I'm gonna guess they all don't share the same opinion.  Granted, Ville said they ran their course...but why during an album? There could be a million guesses
Title: Re: 2017 Tour
Post by: 616 on May 25, 2017, 02:13:37 PM
they got old, they are lazy and realised that they have been doing the same thing for too long and they need something new. Lets see what they are going to do when HIM is after the farewell tour. i think that Villes solo album is for sure. I think Linde will continue with Mige and Burton with Daniel Lioneye.
Title: Re: 2017 Tour
Post by: Alex on May 26, 2017, 04:29:39 AM
I still feel that there will be at least one new song. But seeing them so inactive makes me to think that  they will  just extend the concerts to 2h and a little putting some rarely played songs and that is it....
On the other hand Ville is very greedy about his music so it seems more logical to keep the new stuff for the new projects...

All this disinformation may be indicates  us that the band has already split up, and the tour is just their last journey together...  :( passing through the cities and playing overplayed songs  :-\



Title: Re: 2017 Tour
Post by: 616 on May 26, 2017, 09:52:33 AM
there are types of bands that are active and suddenly something happens and they break up, there is a lot of drama in the media for the fans without anything useful......And there is HIM, they break up after a year of inactivity, there is one statement in the media, besides that complete quietness, no drama, no soap opera of bullshit in the media and the band is quiet, doing something for the fans - the Farewell Tour. I mean, other bands just split up and pfff, over. We are lucky to have a Farewell tour....  that indicates that nothing bad happened, there is no bad blood between the guys and they friendly closed the chapter of their lifes.
i dont expect rare songs because that means a lot of effort at the rehearsals to practice old songs that they already forgot how to play and its a lot of work to make it with lights too and stuff... i dont expect anything extra ..... just celebrating His Infernal Majesty = biggest hits, singles and most known songs

Jesus Christ, you guys are so fucking predictable. Every time there is any little bit of information you get all excited and expect a steady flow of content, then get disappointed and hurt when it doesn't come. When will you learn that this band isn't interested in having an interactive social media presence? I get the disappointment; I also feel bummed when I open Safari and they haven't announced their US and Finnish dates... but really, chill out.

This board used to be about sharing bootlegs and having legit conversations about the greatest band of all time's music, but in the last few years it's been a constant stream of bitching and whining.

Look what came up on Google:
(https://s8.postimg.org/8vcxxciud/beattyville.png)


July 2th, 2017 - State Highway 2017, Beattyville, KY, USA

Source: heartagram.com

And there wasn't any information of this in heartagram.com! ???

BTW what the heck is State Highway?
It just shows up as a random spot along a road and seems fake since they'll be in Finland the day before and then some other country on the 13th, I don't think there'd be any us dates between that

Jesus Christ, you guys are so fucking predictable. Every time there is any little bit of information you get all excited and expect a steady flow of content, then get disappointed and hurt when it doesn't come. When will you learn that this band isn't interested in having an interactive social media presence? I get the disappointment; I also feel bummed when I open Safari and they haven't announced their US and Finnish dates... but really, chill out.

This board used to be about sharing bootlegs and having legit conversations about the greatest band of all time's music, but in the last few years it's been a constant stream of bitching and whining.

Safari? Lol

Hi. I film and edit videos for a living, that's my job. Even though i like videos a lot, try and watch a movie with bad sound. You will hate it. It could be the best video ever, but if the sound is bad you will not like it.
Comparisons aside:
 I'm not saying to not record the show on video. Just try to record the best audio you can. :)

I went to the concert in Barcelona. They played WLADE as the last song, just after Rebel Yell. Ville forgot some verses from Bleed Well. I can confirm Stigmata Diaboli too. Nice jam in Wicked Game, as usual.

I cried when they played Ressurection.

Ville said: "Tonight is so special because it's the last time HIM will play in Barcelona. Well... at least as HIM."
Title: Re: 2017 Tour
Post by: Politex on June 14, 2017, 06:05:06 PM
I think it's a pretty solid farewell setlist, they can't play all rare songs, but we did get 2 rarity songs that haven't been played since 2004 and 2002. 22 songs also seems to hit a good amount, as it is a 2 hours show (? i think). Still hoping for a last surprise date in Brazil, but not very optimistic.
Title: Re: 2017 Tour
Post by: six6sixways2love on June 14, 2017, 06:41:22 PM
They were playing 20 songs during the Archives tour, so if they can keep up with 22 songs that's a pretty solid chunk of time, so  I have no complaints. And considering they've been a greatest hits set list sort of band for a while, I don't expect them to change now.

And as someone else mentioned, they really should consider starting with The Beginning of the End. Kinda cheesy, but very appropriate. And one hell of a song

Another setlist from Barcelona, just a little change in the order of the final setlist.... Sleepwalking was on the setlist but it was not played today.

Just back from the show & they were fantastic - love them guys :) Instead of having more beers I decided to get the live footage up for everyone asap - please don't moan that it's iPhone quality or not the full songs or whatever just enjoy it and spread the love. Kittos!

https://youtu.be/wBFzQl4wNKM

were there any cameras in the venue? hoping theres a chance we can catch this tour on proshot or audio, saw some footage that was already up, the preformance was GREAT!

Did anyone check on 616 to make sure he's still OK? Resurrection always sounded off to me live, so I'm somewhat intererested to hear how well they pulled it off so many years later.

It's cool they actually played Stigmata this time around.

I won't comment too much on the rest of the setlist except by saying that this very well may be the show that they put on until the end, and if so besides the two aforementioned songs there's still so many great ones that we might not ever hear performed live at all or brought back as a part of the setlist again, and that's kind of a bummer.

EDIT: Resurrection sounded nice. Could've just been the audio quality, or maybe it's the guitar tuning, but whatever it was it didn't really sound flat like it used to to me. A lot more full and that was pleasing to hear. Now onto Stigmata when I get the chance.

Wait a minute......

So we know that the guys rehearsed Stigmata for the Love Metal Archives tour but then they never played it. Wasn't Resurrection rumored or confirmed to have been rehearsed as well? Hmmm. Something smells fishy.

Ville said: "Tonight is so special because it's the last time HIM will play in Barcelona. Well... at least as HIM."

Cryptic.

This kind of fits in with my theory about what’s going on, I think they aren’t really breaking up just rebranding different name, new album with a new drummer a marketing scheme so to speak, create a huge buzz make some money get people talking then put out an album as Black Salem that they’ve been working on since 2014/15 and blow everyone away....

@avr could you upload your videos, stuff on wetransfer and post the link in the media section? thanks

i am fine Cory, was shocked when i heard Resurrection , it was really that "fucking finally" feeling. i prayed for this since 2005 (my first HIM gig) and every tour, everytime this gem was ignored by the band. Now my concern and fear is that they will drop it from the setlist .... the Prague gig (December 2nd) is SO FAR , i really wish and pray just to hear it live, so hopefully they will play it in Prague :-D
PLUS they did Stigmata, fuck yes this is like a Christmas seariously. Stigmata and Resurrection in one setlist.
They rehearsed And Love Said No for 2010 tour as well and they did it only on Helldone 2009 and few times at the soundcheck before the gig, but never on the gig in 2010.... I hope Resurrection wont be the Loves Requiem from LMA tour case... One try and instant retirement from the setlist..... i hope fans responded great to the song and guys wont change it for some overplayed song....My only note to the setlist is Rebel Yell ... this shit is so fucking boring and its not even a HIM song i dont see the reason why they play it. Encore for the Farewell Tour should be something special, every night some different song from the rotation of the songs - Beginning of the end, In the nightside of Eden, Our Diabolikal Rapture, Loves Requiem, And Love Said No, I Love You, Please Dont Let it Go Punk Rock version, Again and WLSTD. That would keep the setlist exciting and fans would be crazy i guarantee it. Imagine that they will go on stage at the Tavastia for the very last time as HIM and play In The Nightside of Eden "forever we are,....." as and encore song ...
 sorry for long shit, just got excited about Resurrection and Stigmata

guys attending rest of Spain and Portugal gigs - please can you record full Resurrection and Stigmata for me?????

Thanks

Please say they haven't switched out Resurrection of Stigmata already. Do we actually think HIM will continue then after this tour in some different style/format? It seems unbelievable really I can't imagine them continuing as a band without being HIM. Ville solo fair enough but as a band you can call it whatever you want but surely it'll still be HIM under the surface.

Yes of course friend - I'm uploading the Madrid video now as I couldn't get wifi last night. The guys did two encores - pretending + soul on fire - everyone was leaving the show and the lights went down and they came back on everyone lost their minds. They then played Rebel yell and when love & death embrace.

Ville made some comments last night about how they've fooled everyone about the farewell tour - don't know if he was taking the piss or not? But the crowd went wild and everyone seemed shocked when he said it. Said they were going to hold a meeting after the show to decide what they are going to do - probably taking the piss but I don't think the guys know what the want xD The band were on fire, everyone was laughing, making jokes, Burton did an awesome keyboard solo and the guys were clapping along to it along with the crowd. I've seen the guys so many times but last night in Madrid was special. The 1st two shows were of the hook.

I got a signed poster and t-shirt - 25 euros for poster and 30 for t-shirt.

I ask because if we want to properly and safely archive everything from this tour, then the best and easiest way to do it would be to use this site as the host and let whoever here has taped something upload their files directly without any middle men. Then we wouldn't have to worry about links running out after a week and someone waiting for someone to reupload something, then the reupload link eventually running out as well and the cycle just continuing.

Isn't that the point "going out with a bang" or "going out with a whimper". I do find the whole thing strange I wouldn't be surprised if they stayed together, formed a new band or simply split up.

first little part of the tour is over, 4 gigs , no bootlegs, even there is shit on the youtube, almost nothing, just some cellphone clips that look like shit, i dont know if the cameras are shittier or if youtube started to make every video look like even bigger shit, there is oly one solid video of Funeral Of Hearts from Madrid  - multicam, that looks like even audio is some audio recorder sourced, i didnt find any way to contact the uploader, just left the comment under the video that i will buy it
it looks like we will have covered shit of this tour, i have a fear that they will change the setlist and will rotate those rare songs for other rare , i bet Resurrection will be changed for Death Is In Love With Us and Stigmata will be changed for something from the first album, maybe For You or with a little luck we will get Our Diabolikal Rapture or maybe The Beginning Of The End . There is not much of the Venus Doom in the setlist, i think In Joy And Sorrow will be changed for Sleepwalking Past Hope and i would not be surprised if they shortened the gig duration in the end of the tour in November/december, they will be exhausted and tired of it
I was fucking expecting some solid video from Spain/Portugal tour , everyone fucking taped few clips on the cellphone, potato quality and put it on the facebook. I really wish that there was some fucking proshot from Tuska ....at least FM broadcast, guys keep your eyes open and see for any kind of information. Then there is only last chance - MiljoonaRock ,.... because from their "private" gigs, there will be nothing

I'm not an owner of the best of camera - I did my best to film footage of the shows I was at to share with community, I didn't have to but I did. Just be greatful there is footage?

I did not mean to offend anyone, i appreciate every fan effort, even those shitty small clips. I only expressed my point of the entire HIM community and youtube. Few years ago, when they played something rare there was full youtube of it immediately. They performed Stigmata Diaboli, Resurrection and i could not find the entire Stigmata Diaboli video. There is one on the youtube that is not full. There is no full audio source on the Dime, no full video on the youtube. Youtube is not the best source of "bootlegs" but when there is nothing i take youtube as a good thing , its better than nothing. Youtube normally makes videos look like shit, the bitrate and everything is compressed and the quality of the video on the youtube is worse than the original if you compare your original and the same video uploaded on the youtube and then ripped from the youtube. Look at the clip - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtSz7JRlQIU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtSz7JRlQIU) i appriciate that its full at least, there is not missing a single second of the beginning, audio is not the worst either, but the video quality in general sucks really bad, 240p .... in 2017 its like a joke really, this is not watchable, you barely see drums in those pixels, the guy obviously encoded the original video in some program to get the smaller video size and uploded 7 MB video ,....its really not watchable , is it for you?
The greatest thing is that you take something personally and get offended atough i did not even mention and thought of you in the first place and you dont mind attacking me, i mean OK its the internet but if someone says about videos , not the members, not the uploaders, how can you get offended ? Its like someone is bitching about the quality of the football in the TV and it plays the team from my town and i get offended? Nonsense. Take it easy , no one offended you so dont get offended with no reason.
regarding my Prague - it will be taped with Panasonic Lumix TZ30, hopefully it will look like my Bratislava 2015 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzJq8zuXaWA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzJq8zuXaWA)

Post by: PTEraser on June 18, 2017, 03:21:45 PM
first little part of the tour is over, 4 gigs , no bootlegs, even there is shit on the youtube, almost nothing, just some cellphone clips that look like shit, i dont know if the cameras are shittier or if youtube started to make every video look like even bigger shit, there is oly one solid video of Funeral Of Hearts from Madrid  - multicam, that looks like even audio is some audio recorder sourced, i didnt find any way to contact the uploader, just left the comment under the video that i will buy it
it looks like we will have covered shit of this tour, i have a fear that they will change the setlist and will rotate those rare songs for other rare , i bet Resurrection will be changed for Death Is In Love With Us and Stigmata will be changed for something from the first album, maybe For You or with a little luck we will get Our Diabolikal Rapture or maybe The Beginning Of The End . There is not much of the Venus Doom in the setlist, i think In Joy And Sorrow will be changed for Sleepwalking Past Hope and i would not be surprised if they shortened the gig duration in the end of the tour in November/december, they will be exhausted and tired of it
I was fucking expecting some solid video from Spain/Portugal tour , everyone fucking taped few clips on the cellphone, potato quality and put it on the facebook. I really wish that there was some fucking proshot from Tuska ....at least FM broadcast, guys keep your eyes open and see for any kind of information. Then there is only last chance - MiljoonaRock ,.... because from their "private" gigs, there will be nothing

here is the video of Ville talking about the bands future, i suppose this is enough for every dreamer who dreams about new album and not splitting https://ulozto.net/!LSIoN8bDtSM3/ville-about-future-of-him-mp4

I can understand what he means...
In 2017 we should be able to record the entire show in some way, and not half songs or incomplete shows...

I recorded the Porto Show in full. It's not the best thing ever. It's no soundboard. But it is full. I will make it available as soon as the audio is tuned up and the tracks are separated. It's gonna take a while though. Be patient. It exists and will be available.

no need to apologise buddy
i apologise if i touched you somehow, i did not see your videos and i did not talk about any forum member and not about anyone in particular. I just thought that there will be more, it looks like fans dont care much, when there are not even videos on the youtube of Stigmata Diaboli and Resurrection. I mean, its 2017 everyone has internet and i dont think that the band does not care, i mean there were theories that some of the band members could be on the forum as well,.... we know Ville, he cares and who knows if he checks the videos on the youtube, if he will see that fans dont care about Stigmata and Resurrection they will simply replace them for some hits like Soul On Fire and Scared To Death and we will get the "greatest hits" setlist again. Those two are like miracle in their setlist. Who expected and dreamed about those two in the setlist? Hearing Resurrection and Stigmata Diaboli live means for me literally one thing "mission completed" and i can die happy. I always wanted to hear live And Love Said No and mostly Resurrection (everyone know that i am obsessed with the song!). And Love Said No was planned for 2010 tour - they dropped it after Helldone - i was so pissed that i completely ignored a chance to see them live - for free in Vienna in 2010 i just hated the setlist and the sound and was really mad that they did not give ANd Love Said No a proper chance after Helldone. I fear that after those 4 gigs there will be different setlist for the US tour and for the European tour in late November and December. If i had to chose to see them live with setlist based on BABL 14 times in a row and Resurrection or regural setlist without Resurrection - i would go for that BABL setlist with Resurrection in it. No other songs needed, and i really hate BABL. Sorry for my shits , i just expected greater attention to the band and i thought it will be really HUGE as they are done as a band and they are doing the Farewell Tour.

616, you say Ville cares right? And pays attention to the Internet? I say as a community,  we stop with the cam recording and either make a request for shows to be hooked up via soundboard (and be available for download via their website, if Link in park did it, HIM could) OR somehow get some secondhand equipment for their tech to hook up so we can get something similar to a soundboard recording. A pipe dream but it'd be awsome

FoH - no one from their sound engineers and technicians will risk law suit for fans, they are paid to do their job, they wont let you record from the monitor neither they will give you a copy from the monitor. If you are a great friend with them, maybe they will let you stay in the FoH and record something on your audio recorder on the tripod - not from the mix.....
i know RHCP did it, they released every gig in lossless and lossy quality on Im with you tour - people paid and got them. I would not mind paying for the gigs if they did it, but we know this band and Ville, he wont do it. it would be great and awesome but the chance is not even slim.
avr - where did you upload it? could you make topic on media section - video - 2017 and upload the videos as you recorded them here? i would like to see

Ville made some comments last night about how they've fooled everyone about the farewell tour - don't know if he was taking the piss or not? But the crowd went wild and everyone seemed shocked when he said it. Said they were going to hold a meeting after the show to decide what they are going to do - probably taking the piss but I don't think the guys know what the want xD The band were on fire, everyone was laughing, making jokes, Burton did an awesome keyboard solo and the guys were clapping along to it along with the crowd. I've seen the guys so many times but last night in Madrid was special. The 1st two shows were of the hook.

Got my tix for the Warsaw, Poland show on November 28. Anyone else going?

I'm going to the Warsaw show as well (: Mainly because of the smaller venue I think it'll make for a nicer show. The house of blues in Houston isn't what I consider big either.

Does anyone know how much USD tickets are going for? I don't have a job right now, so I need to know how much to scrounge and save for.

Tickets are $45 for Houston. LiveNation app lets you get them now.

For those in Houston (and possibly Dallas) let's meet up and get drunk lol.

I'm going to the Houston show too. I thought of Dallas as well but that would've been greedy.

I hope no one finds it odd me just jumping in this thread being an unknown. I was sad and typed "Him is over" and found this forum. I read that entire thread and this one. I was involved in the live journal stuff but am embarrassed of not being aware of this one. I feel I have nothing to add on top of what has been said so far but I'm really enjoying the site.

Isn't that the point "going out with a bang" or "going out with a whimper". I do find the whole thing strange I wouldn't be surprised if they stayed together, formed a new band or simply split up. I wish they actually announce something official because we haven't heard any official statements since March.

I wouldn't place too much thought on the name "Bang & Whimper." No different than "Dark Light", Or "Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights"...just another yin/yang thing.

While I have never stopped listening to CKY, they are about 5 years too late. This would have been a dream lineup if Deron was still in the band. Their new album just doesn't have the same personality (for those not keeping up, CKY just released a new album last week with Chad behind the mic)

Post by: 666WTLOnVinylFTW on June 26, 2017, 09:29:14 PM
I still think that's badass, even without Deron being in the band anymore. I enjoyed CKY's new album for what it was, but it also made me look forward to Deron's new band's music more than I would've previously - whenever the hell they decide to release any of it. It should be great re-exposure for them to play with HIM. I know they've been busy playing shows and they're doing Warped Tour right now, but I don't think they have much going on in October or November. If they joined HIM for the Farewell Tour, it would definitely make me regret not going, though I'm sure the CKY fan base wouldn't enjoy it that much.

69 Eyes are my second love next to HIM. So yeah, that lineup has always been the dream. 

Not sure what happened with the 69 Eyes touring wise. They lost ALL the momentum they had in the states. They were doing pretty heavy touring, 2 or so tours per album (Devils, Angels, Back in Blood). They never toured here for X and nothing yet for Universal Monsters. I feel as if they are winding down too. Jyrki doing a solo album. Jussi on a Finnish version of "The Voice" or something. Add that to they've been at it for 26-27 years.

I wouldn't worry about LA too much. Orpheum only holds 150 more people but it's all seating which is a logistical nightmare to which all the Wiltern GA tickets.  If they wanted to, they could move it over to Club Nokia or w.e. it's called now. That's about 2300. Which honestly, I like alot more than the Wiltern. At least I can shitty at the Yardhouse before hand.

Haven't been to Anaheim HOB since they relocated. Not sure if it's bigger than the OG Mouse House.

That sucks, dude. I'm right there with you with wanting to have a seat at concerts. I have a much better experience knowing that there's a spot there waiting for me and I can arrive whenever I want, instead of waiting outside for hours to stand on a hard ass floor with dozens of people right on top of me sweating my ass off getting crushed and pushed around the entire time. No thanks. It was fun when I was a teenager, but definitely not anymore. I want to be able to relax and just enjoy the show without the headache and hassel that general admission shows only are/can be.

The venue itself doesnt offer much of a VIP places, so i would say that VIP for this is probably some "private" bar or something....... there is no greet and meet and i didnt even find any information about the support band. I wish and pray that there will be no support.

Booked the day off work ready bloody tickets come out at 11am so works a no go. Disappointed it's only 1 night but in 2015 they added another 2 at a later date so fingers crossed. Think tickets will be a nightmare to get this time, but we've managed the last 4 years so why ever not this time.

The teenage me would be going absolutely nuts over this. Should make for some unique crowds. I think most CKY fans that aren't HIM fans as well are past the hatred of the band in this day and age, but it should still be a nice mix of people at those shows. I wonder if this will help them get over the hump to sell out the tour. Only four so far according to Heartagram, but it's hard to trust that site and how updated it is. It's hard to believe New York isn't sold out. Almost makes me sad I won't be going.

I'm 29 and my teenage self is kinda freaking out. Truth be told, I've never stopped listening to CKY.  The only downside was I wish it was 5 years ago when Deron was still in the band.  New CKY album just doesn't have the same sonic spectrum.  Also, wish there was a trade in program. Perhaps 3 teeth in exchange for 69 eyes.

I'd be kinda sad if there's not any pro-shot gigs coming from the upcoming tour. I mean we have got nothing after 2014. I hope the final Tavastia gig is going to be live broadcasted on Finnish TV like 2004 new year.

I still listen to them as well. They've always been my 1b to HIM's 1a, except during times when I've been bored with HIM. This is one of those times with their new album coming out recently, which I enjoyed, but I do sometimes wonder if I would enjoy it quite as much if it didn't have the CKY name attached to it and it was just some random rock band.

Title: Re: 2017 Tour
Post by: six6sixways2love on August 09, 2017, 06:44:11 AM
big fat noooope.

Had 3 computers in 3 different households with 2 browsers running each. 4 of the browsers were between 97-99% before the beginning of the sale (we entered the queue an hour and fifteen minutes before). About a minute into the sale, those all refreshed to saying "the event is complete". 1 was able to load the ticket selection page. But when you you tried to go to checkout, it said "# of tickets weren't available"

Those who have been to Helldone before and aren't from Finland, how much was the trip? I'm talking about transportation, accommodation, and of course tickets. Not including food and everything else you need or may want while you're there, it's gotta be pretty damn expensive.

I think the last time I looked it would cost about ~$2000 for the flight there alone.
Title: Re: 2017 Tour
Post by: avr on August 09, 2017, 08:58:06 AM
From UK it was about ?700 for two nights with hotel.
Title: Re: 2017 Tour
Post by: AcousticFuneral on August 09, 2017, 08:58:27 AM
Flights are usually £300
Hotel for 4 nights £450(always stay 4 nights even if we only go to Helldone 1 night like 2013 and 2014.)
Tickets £60 a night
Spending money £300
So if one Helldone ticket £1100 (obviously 2012 was even more expensive as stayed for 5 nights and went to Helldone on each of the 4 nights.)
So in total flying from the UK £1100/€1225/$1440
I guess it depends which hotel you stay in or maybe some people stay in a hostel. Also dependant on where you fly from, I guess US could easily cost another $500-$1000.

I thought the name sounded familiar, but I couldn't figure out why. Now I remember I checked them out awhile back based on their NIN influence. I don't remember any more than that so I must not have liked them, but I might as well give them another shot. Finding new modern bands and artists that I like is so hard for me. I try but everything seems so soulless and/or a bad tribute to musical days gone by. No one seems to have anything to say anymore. And don't even get me started on how bland instrumentation across the board is today, when there's actually real instruments involved and it's not computer programmed of course. So dull. What happened to guitar riffs and basslines that would get stuck in your head for days they were so good? What happened to songs that hit you immediately upon your first listen and left you thinking wow and wanting to listen to it over and over again? Anyone have any recommendations?

Yeah, the sound is definitely better, but the view is not as good. It's kind of a trade-off depending on which is more important. If you've ever been to The Fillmore in San Francisco it's pretty similar in terms of view vs. sound.

I'm all about sound, nowadays. Been front row plenty of times, end up with a sore back and feet. Haha

For some reason, I feel like they added the second LA show so they'd have two nights to record (more leeway on fuck ups, and more songs possible).

I suppose you're right
, the man's a musical genius but definetly indecisive at times. what better way to go out with a bang like filming a DVD? would've loved to see them film at the orpheum again.

DVDs are a pain in the ass and expensive to make in pretty much all areas of production. Plus, like Jarvis said, they'd have to totally overhaul the setlist or else it would just be Digital Versatile Doom Revisited. Besides that, it would be months into 2018 until it's ready for release. Maybe even 2019 if there were any sort of delays. It just wouldn't make much sense to do that. I don't know what, if anything, I would want them to release as sort of a going away gift, but I don't think that there's anything in the cards at this moment except for the tour itself. I guess it would be nice if they streamed the last show, but that would require a lot of effort as well. Way less than a DVD, though, and they could charge for it and make money pretty much right away, but I don't see them doing it sadly. I'm worried that we're going to have to rely on cell phone YouTube videos in various lengths and states of quality to piece together their last show and I don't want that. I know there will be people there recording audio, probably decent video as well that's not on a cell phone, but will they share it for everyone considering how important it is or keep it for themselves?

yahoo streamed a show back in 2014 and it was a great setlist, [the mix was awful though] the only thing that would change between then and now would be at best 3 or 4 different songs, The Guitar, bass and keyboards all sound the same as the last 2014 show, even the tuning. Back in the day what made each gig special was the fact that every few years, the guitar, keys, or ville vocal technique would change...what also made the  DVD Live special was the fact that Ville made it a point [studio and Live] the whole Venus Doom era would sound heavier and boy was it a big change! I do also remember the DVD was delayed twice before reaching the market.....the thing that I'd love to see would be a Love Metal Archives, Vol 2 or some audio shows from the tour (we know they record them] that'd be the best thing to do aside from charging for a stream

There's an easy way to handle that... They still put DVDs up for sale, but everyone who buys it will get a digital version to watch so that way they'd still have something physical to hold/collect.

It would have to be a pretty primitive version for the digital download though or else you're right back into DVD territory having to set everything up for it and then have someone edit together multiple camera angles and mix/master the audio. It would still be a ton of work and pretty costly. I'd be fine with just one static camera shot of the band and clear soundboard audio myself if it was either that or nothing. But the biggest problem of all with a DVD release or something like it is that once the New Year's show is over, they're done. I don't think they would want to be further tied down by a release like that and all of the obligations that would come with it when they're ready to move on. I'm sure they want to relax and not have to think or worry about anything to do with HIM, at least for a little awhile.

guys, do you remember the 2001 Luxembourg? I think it was 1 camera only webcast, wasnt it?
that would be pretty enough for me if they placed someone on the balcony at the Tavastia with one camera, recording the entire stage with soundboard sourced audio and that would make a perfect webcast for me. There is no need to make something special about it. They can stream it on the heartagram.com , if they asked few bucks 9,99 € or something i am sure there would be a nice amount of people from all around the world willing to pay to watch it.
Remember RHCP with the Im with you tour? The entire tour was available in various formats to buy digitally. It is easy money without any extra effort. Because they save their soundboard anyway, they perform the gig anyway so they are getting paid for the gig from the tickets and afterwards they can make money on the same gig without them doing anything , just placing audio on the website and charging money for it. I believe if they were into money that heavily and wanted to suck every penny out of the HIM cow they would have been doing it already. This is what i like about them that they really play for the fans and not for making fortune out of it. This is the reason why i dont expect anything from them , they are giving us chance / tour to say farewell to His Infernal Majesty and Ville already pointed out his opinion about the DVD.
We must record everything ourselves, i am doing Prague
Someone could tape the Tavastia video

one question: even IF there is a proshot stream or some sort of broadcast how much say does the band have in it vs the label or whoever is managing the tour? I mean Ville said no DVD, BUT what if there is a yahoo stream or Kerrang decides to tape something?
DVDs are a pain in the ass and expensive to make in pretty much all areas of production. Plus, like Jarvis said, they'd have to totally overhaul the setlist or else it would just be Digital Versatile Doom Revisited. Besides that, it would be months into 2018 until it's ready for release. Maybe even 2019 if there were any sort of delays. It just wouldn't make much sense to do that. I don't know what, if anything, I would want them to release as sort of a going away gift, but I don't think that there's anything in the cards at this moment except for the tour itself. I guess it would be nice if they streamed the last show, but that would require a lot of effort as well. Way less than a DVD, though, and they could charge for it and make money pretty much right away, but I don't see them doing it sadly. I'm worried that we're going to have to rely on cell phone YouTube videos in various lengths and states of quality to piece together their last show and I don't want that. I know there will be people there recording audio, probably decent video as well that's not on a cell phone, but will they share it for everyone considering how important it is or keep it for themselves?

There's an easy way to handle that... They still put DVDs up for sale, but everyone who buys it will get a digital version to watch so that way they'd still have something physical to hold/collect.

Its not too bad but sometimes people end up pushing to get to the front. The problem comes I think from doors opening at 8 and HIM not starting until 12 so many people turn up at 11-12 and try and push through the crowd to the front.

If I recall correctly, throughout New Years show in 2004, Ville seemed to be annoyed at someone in the crowd throughout the set. I wonder if he's ever gotten so pissed he just cant wait to finish the set

Ville often seems to have problems with his ear monitors nowadays... He often looks at the mixing guy and points his finger up if he wants the mic louder (of course the press tells that he pointed at his bandmates). Then during most of the songs he does something with the device in his pocket. I don't know whether he wants the mic louder on the whole mix or only in his monitor. Then he gets pissed when he can't hear what he is singing which is pretty understandable. Imagine singing to a big audience, and then you fuck up because you can't hear yourself.

Well the key doesn't matter much in that point. It's about hearing yourself and singing in pitch. Every song has its own singing register and some parts are sung lower, some higher. Venus Doom tour sounded amazing even if they played in half step down tuning, and to me Ville's live vocals were in their peak during that era. After that maybe the Summer and Fall tours in 2013. But playing in the original key sounds more like on the actual album, which I like.

the tuning during the VD era was extremely beneficial to the "natural voice" Ville has, he always sounds like he's strained out his voice. During the last 2014 show that was filmed, it sounded like he had trouble....

I guess he had a little flu or something. He often starts to lose his voice during the end of a tour. The mix sucked too.

But yeah let's hope that he will be comfortable on stage during the upcoming shows. Then he usually manages to sing better.

A few years back for Kill Hannah's last show they included a digital download of the soundboard audio from it as part of the VIP ticket package, among other things. I considered buying a ticket just for that with no intention of actually attending the concert. It's too late now, but they should've just done that. Super simple, they make however many extra bucks for however many VIP packages they decide to sell, people get a great momento to remember the show with, and then eventually it leaks and we all get to hear it.

Yeah, you're probably right. I remember when Rebel Yell used to be a real treat to hear live. Now it's right up there with Wicked Game pretty much. I thought Strange World was going to become the new cover song that they played every night, but they dropped it right quick. I'd rather hear that than Rebel Yell at this point.

Post by: avr on September 02, 2017, 08:20:48 PM
Mikko "Linde" Lindstr?m, born in Klaukkala in August 1976, is known as HIM's quiet man and guitarist. But when investigated in more detail, his artist picture shows more than just punishing six-language: Linde makes songs and also sings them if needed.

HIM is the songwriter Ville Valon show, but not for the sake of the circumstances: from Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666 debut (1997) a couple was written by Valo and Linde. A few Linde compositions are also found in his first wife Manna's first album, Sister (2007).

Established in 1991, HIM has been keeping its members as charcoal since Linda has not had much time left for other projects. The rocky guitarist, however, was featured in Carcass legend Jeff Walker in Helsinki with a cover album entitled Welcome to Carcass Cuntry, which was released in 2008. The roughest side projects are the WhoCares, a heavy rock superconductor that raised funds for rebuilding an Armenian music school destroyed in the earthquake.

With WhoCares Out of My Mind (2011) with Linde was played by Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain, former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted and Deep Purple Legends Ian Gillan and Jon Lord. The project was launched by Linde's great guitarist and the father of the then spouse Toni Marien, the Black Sabbath riffier Tony Iommi.

Daniel Lioneye, who grew up from Linden's alter ego and the hood project to Lindsey's most discriminating gossip at the turn of the millennium, became a true band and a significant part of his job. It has had to work under the terms of HIM's schedule and has solved almost all of Linde's mainstream members but has also been an important channel for the guitarist's creativity. She is a songwriter and singer of Daniel Lioneye, and today she is considered her band.

Daniel Lioneyen was originally not intended to meet anybody's expectations, but over the years it has surpassed all of them. The first album released in 2001, The King of Rock'n'Roll, was still a record, with the mixed-minded psychedelic stoner rock being more of a desire to relieve pressure and relax than to seek any kind of artistic gains.

The next Lioneye album Vol. II had to wait for almost ten years due to HIM's hopes. The second album released in April 2010 contained debut and heavier rock, with even black metal influences. On their second album, Daniel Lioneye made a massive tour of the US as a Cradle of Filth warmer. For more information on this topic, read the book about the Jenkkirundi book by Kimmo Aroluoma, a member of the band's crew (2016). It is an interesting fact for a trip that was originally completed in a variety of ways beyond what band members were familiar with in the HIM rounds.

Vol. III, published in August 2016, continued to portray Daniel Lioneye, a mature woman. Linde's band combined the influences with previous releases more ambitiously. It was promising for the future of HIM's members, which is currently completely open.

The big love metal band ends at the end of the year when HIM plays his last gigs. Linden must then stand on his own.

Just a nice sort

Linde lives in the countryside about an hour's drive from Helsinki. In the capital, a man who has spent his youth and has traveled around the world many times does not want to get caught up in the crowd. With a dog and three cats, a guitarist who shares his home tells that he is "fully fledged". As a musician gets more than enough travel for work, Linde enjoys leisure time in her field. Favorite buds are long loops with the dog.

Linde's life is a fourteen-year-old daughter. She is no longer married to her mother's mother, but her relationship with herbivore has remained close.

- We spend time together and we really have a good time. I am happy about the fact, Linde says. - I also have loving friends, which I try to see more often in the future. However, I enjoy very well in my own life. Maybe a little too well.

It is entirely in line with the image that Linde has received over the years. He has learned to know HIM as a gray eminent, with a key role in the band, but not to the center of attention even in the name of the international rock community.

- I'm not really a master of ceremony, guitarist admits. - I like to talk about the right things, but small talk is fucked, I've never learned it. I do not understand people who can not withstand silence.

From the viewpoint, Mikko Lindstr?m's career choice is quite special. The work of a performing artist is not optimal for a human type that does not enjoy the spotlight. On the other hand, HIM has come up with this in mind. Almost all the publicity burden has been borne by Valo, and HIM's guitarist has been a favorite place for Linde. He likes his work so much that he feels privileged.

- This area suits some people badly, and I think that is caused by so many artists' intoxicant problems, premature deaths and suicides. However, I like the sense of how lucky I am, when I have had to do this for a living so long. It is rare. All professions have their own shadows, including here, but nothing is easier than complaining.

Daniel Lioneye's albums and gigs have shown that going from one side of the platform to the focal point is not a problem for Linde if he comes. But how does he feel it? Well, that's a bit of a day.

- Singing is not my favorite, especially live. In studio, singing alone is much easier, Linde says. - I have my own voice, but I do not love it. In the end games, very few people have a good singing sound. I was in terms of time-critical.

The glitter of the guitar

When Mikko Viljami Lindstr?m was small, her father listened to a lot of cassettes on a trip. The enthusiasm grabbed the backseat's footsteps (the family also included Linde four years younger brother), and so little Linde learned to love music. As an engineer, a father often rode Elvis Presley in the car, which is still one of Linde's favorite types today. For the man had a very good singing sound.

At the age of ten, Linde received her first guitar, the acoustic mini-Landola.

- I had been thinking about it for some time, Linde recalls. - I started playing the music the same way and learned quickly when I was so excited. My first lesson was the KISS Heaven's is the Firestop riff. I played it with my thumb in one language. It did not sound like KISS, but something has to be started.

When the upcoming HIM guitarist started playing guitar, Duran Duran and KISS were hard bands in the early youth. Linde chose the best of them for their favorite.

- In KISS, the guitar playing was much larger than in the Durane, so it took me to go. The guitar interested me. It had some unexplained magical attraction.

The end of the eighties was the golden age of lightning guitar heroes. Their king was crowned in Frank Zapa's band with his spin deserved by Steve Vai. Surprisingly, Vai was for some time Linde's great hero.

- Steve Vai played in the late 1980s with the band David Lee Roth, and Eat 'em And Smile and Skyscraper came to be listened hard. Similarly, only solo albums Flexable and Passion & Warfare. I was just inspired by one summer in Boston, Berklee College of Music. I was then 15 years old. It was inspiring to sit in the same pulp that Vai had once sat.

As you listen to Linde's guitar playing, Steve Vain's name does not even blink in the mind. His Gibson sounds much blues, harder and heavier than Ibanez. They are the callers of different schools.

- Or is the only "tilukitaristi", which I've really been able to listen. He has always been able to offer something movable and touching beyond just technical skill, Linde refines.

- My friends came to know me also Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix sun others.

Their names are much easier to associate with Linde's play, especially Black Sabbath. After all, his favorite guitar is Gibson's classic model SG. In the 1960s, Tony Iommi chose the tool as well, and HIM has resumed and refined its own romantic style, which has been produced by Black Ribbon on Black Sabbath.

When the guitar plays long enough and passionate enough, it develops its own style. Linde considers the best part of one's own play, on the one hand, the ability to throw and improvise, on the one hand, precision and certainty.

- And the style of life, even if it's a taste. The guitar is played well when there is a combination of technical know-how and an apologetic vision. In general, it requires a life experience and courage to call "wrong".

The atmosphere of the departure

Mikko Lindstr?m has been the last of a quarter of a century HIM's Linde, but that is about to be behind. One of the most popular Finnish bands announced in the spring that the head of the road hunts. According to publicity, the decision does not involve any major drama. Everything just ends up in time, and after the last tour comes HIM's end time.

When you've done the groom's groom most of your life, the ending of them is not a tad. Linde does not have you yet with the idea, even though he has had time to spin it for a few months.

"The band is such a big part of us all that life is still controversial," he says. - On the other hand, I am relieved, on the other hand horrified. The change is really great and I do not really know what to think about it. Time will tell you what really follows. Hope something good.

Now, on top of Linde's mind, there is a worldwide farewell tour of HIM in June, which will continue until the end of the year.

- It feels really nice to visit the last time, sharing the fingers with the gang. I'm sure rundista will be really good.

HIM ran from victory to victory until the 2010s. It has sold millions of records, circled the world many times and built a solid fan base on all continents. For band members, those achievements were not self-explanatory. The inexhaustible stuff what the fuck moments has been silent.

- They've been pretty much there. When Join Me rose to the German lynch at the turn of the millennium, it made me look gorgeous. Likewise, a few years later, Dark Light went to the 18th place on the Jenkki list and sold gold there. Then came the kind of feeling that something wrong happened here.

HIM is not only an international success story, but also a rock band set up by friends who have known each other since the puppy. Linde was acquainted with Ville Valo and bassist Mikko "Mige" Paanasee in the seventh grade. Keynote player Janne "Burton" with Puurtinen has been playing for over fifteen years. Everyone in the bushes connects them to the end. Linde says he will miss most of the black humor and throwing of the crowd.

- Certainly we will be dealing with the future. If you do not, then you will get rid of this country completely, which is also quite possible.

Life goes on, the guitar rings

HIM's breakdown is a situation in which Linde had not previously existed. He does not have to start all the stuff, of course, but if he wants to continue in the music industry, he has to find something new and lasting to learn something else than HIM's Linde.

The world of music is very different now than when Linde dropped into it. What advice would she give her daughter if she wanted to become a professional musician?

The answer is a traditional fatherly but quite unexpected man who lives up to playing rock.

- Maybe I would be bored to leave it completely or even to get some contingency plan. Musabisnes has changed so much that my practical advice can be outdated. It may well be true that it is not wise to put a name on any paper if you do not understand what it says.

For Linde, those tips, except for the exact reading of contracts, are no longer at this stage. He is a college student, so the contingency plans were unpublished at the time, and the white coat was not a two-lane suit.

- I visited the daybreak of the K?pyl? nightclub when I did not reach Sibelius High School. Or I actually did just to do exams and writings when there was no attendance, Linde recalls.

"I always went to mother to miss out on the morning, time to get to the center of the bus, and went to the Academic Bookstore to read erotic cartoons. Then I went to Stocka with a coffee and came back home. It took two and a half years and it was a waste of time. I just did not read the scripts, but I still wrote M's papers. I have not done anything with them.

And Linde's bad luck for them to continue. When HIM ceases to exist, life will continue and the guitar will ring. Linde is only 19 years old, or a moderately young man in the 2010's rock business.

- At least I want to continue with Lioneyeta, but the plans are not yet clear. I have nothing more to dream about, but I'm still going to continue playing music with music, as it still feels good. When there is some new, awesome song under the work, it is still the world's finest feel.

But do not go ahead. It is now important to get HIM's farewell tour with a glory in the package.

- Only then can I concentrate on the future. Whatever comes, it has to be received with the most positive and open mind.

My favorite mistranslation is 'She is no longer married to her mother's mother, but her relationship with herbivore has remained close'. And that the text constantly misgenders Linde because the software doesn't know what to do with Finnish gender-neutral pronouns. Amazing. And people think we already have very good machine translation...

Interesting read though, if you can guess what is meant. Or understand Finnish xD

I’m not going to the final tour, I recorded the last gig I went to and it was a good time but I’ve seen them 11 times since 2004. I consider myself lucky to have seen them that many times, the only thing I’m looking forward to now is Ville solo project and at some point warner brothers releasing b-sides and demos from the albums recorded under that label.

I have a question here, guys and gals. I have a general admission standing ticket for the wiltern. However, I'm not sure if GA means you  can go in the pit. Is the pit first come first serve?
Title: Re: 2017 Tour
Post by: avr on September 26, 2017, 11:02:02 AM
Guess general admission is anywhere in the venue.
Title: Re: 2017 Tour
Post by: imyourmaster on September 26, 2017, 02:30:21 PM
The entire downstairs floor of the venue is general admission, but there were a limited number of tickets sold for the pit at a higher price. Those who purchased pit tickets will be receiving wristbands from the venue on the night of the show which gives you access to the pit. They only do this for certain shows, but they don't say how many pit tickets were made available in the first place. For that reason, they sell out quickly. Other shows are on a first come first serve situation, if they give out wristbands at all. It all depends on the type of show. Since this isn't the first time they've played at this venue, they are well aware of how crazy it can get with people pushing and shoving their way up to the front. Having a limited capacity for the pit helps prevent things from getting out of hand. If you're general admission but not pit, you can either get to the venue early and end up on the first tier just above the pit, or you can try and take advantage of their VIP underground lounge which gets you early entry, so you won't have to wait outside in line all day, as well as a few other perks. Call Tim Harrington for VIP availability. (213)531-0588  :D

I'm not positive if you can text that number or not. I would assume that it's a landline because there is also an email address included for those who don't get through on the phone. I hope you can get through to him eventually. I know there are a limited number of passes for each event they do it at. He's the only contact that I know of who can make it happen. Good luck to all of you who are trying. Here is his email address. TimHarrington@livenation.com

Post by: imyourmaster on September 29, 2017, 04:52:58 PM
It looks like they have the same perks except for the optional table reservation being Level 5 instead of Level 2.


The Wiltern Gold:

Premium VIP parking in our private underground garage, an hour before doors open to the general public, with exclusive access to the venue

Pre-Show access to the Wiltern Underground Lounge with complimentary catering by local Italian eatery Pasta Sisters, a private cash bar, and no waiting outside in line

Reserve a private table during the concert; enjoy an excellent eye-line to the stage, ample room to dance, and a dedicated server to take care of you! (Located on Level 2 directly above the PIT)

Wiltern Back Booth:

Reserve a private table during the concert; enjoy quality acoustics, easy in-an-out access to the main floor, and a dedicated server to take care of you! (Located on Level 5 directly behind the soundboard)

All packages subject to vary dependent on the show.


I think if you get through to anyone you can tell them what you're looking for and they'll help you choose the package best suited for your needs.

I consider myself lucky to have seen them that many times, the only thing I’m looking forward to now is Ville solo project and at some point warner brothers releasing b-sides and demos from the albums recorded under that label.

This.

Demos and whatever else that remains unreleased from the last four albums would be cool to have eventually. Just throw them up on iTunes and let us know they're there and be done with it. No remastering. No vinyl nonsense. No CDs in fancy packaging. No dozen different versions or limited editions with pointless and valueless extras. Nothing that we don't truly need and is designed and created only in an effort to pinch us of every penny we've got. Just the music.

However, I am still interested in what the setlist is going to be for the tour/final show. If they play something cool, I'll check it out on YouTube eventually and probably be disappointed because whatever it is doesn't sound like what I would hope it would sound like. Honestly, I'm more excited for CKY in the hopes that they play some stuff from their new album that they haven't played live yet.

Hope they play Stigmata, Resurrection, Bleed Well, etc for US.  Cky might be cool if they play older material.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Unfortunately, my last HIM experience will be cut short due to unforeseen circumstances, and am now selling two GA tickets for the Anaheim show on Oct 27th at the house of blues. I'm asking for $500 for both or (LITERALLY) Best Offer. I know it's a huge stretch, but I wouldn't be doing this unless I had to :(

Also have 2 tickets for the Wiltern on October 26th, if I sell those, I will keep the Anaheim ones....I'm unable to find any tickets for The Wiltern Show, so I'm assuming it is sold out

It's a ridiculous offer I know I basically saw it Ticketmaster was charging per ticket and went on average they charge anywhere from 166 to 333 I really don't want to let them go I'm going to see if I can get a loan from someone somewhere to help me make rent for the month

Ouch, man. That really sucks. I hope you're able to figure out a solution where you can still go to at least one show and actually enjoy it. Are you part of any HIM groups on Facebook or anything? I'm not sure how active the HIM Collectors group is on there anymore, it's been a few years since I've been a part of it, but it was still fairly active even back then and besides places like Stubhub and Craigslist it's probably your best bet to try.

Post by: 666WTLOnVinylFTW on October 24, 2017, 03:04:26 AM
Yeah, it's on setlist.fm. You won't be very happy. They got rid of Resurrection. The rest is the same as usual. Nothing new. Nothing changed. No premieres. No fan favorites brought back for one last go around. No reaching into their catalogue and pulling out something special for the occassion. Disappointing because I truly thought they would put in the thought and effort to give us some great final shows in terms of the setlist. It's like waking up on Christmas to find coal in your stocking. Appropriate tour name, though. I gotta give them that at least.

Ah well. It's just the first show, but I can't see them changing anything. There's always New Year's, I guess.
Title: Re: 2017 - The Farewell Tour
Post by: 616 on October 24, 2017, 04:06:42 AM
regarding Resurrection - as i feared, but expected.......
Maybe they had a curfew so they shortened the setlist and did the "best of" usual setlist with one rarity Stigmata. Its just the first gig of the US leg of the tour. Maybe they will rotate some setlists or they will change songs in encores a little bit, one day it will be Pretending, another night it might be Resurrection or something different, maybe they will play some cool shit on the European gigs or this is the one version and every other gig will be exactly the same
I saw the tour merch - i like one T-shirt but i fear its a girly one... dammit https://scontent-vie1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/22688106_1574838602573993_310002316463622927_n.jpg?oh=2b27867a01ee1afb82e425fe2a6916c6&oe=5A6A31FA  - the very left one , is it unisex at least?  ;D is there something on the back of the shirt too? price? anyone?

Did the crowd just have a bad reaction to Stigmata or something? Whenever they've played it live in the past, granted not very often and not for a long time, it's sounded good. It's not like Love's Requiem where the crowd seemed confused and it didn't translate well live on top of it, so it made sense to drop it. There has to be a reason why they decided against playing it again. I'm just wondering what that is. Those who were there live or who have seen videos of it, was the crowd not into it or did it sound off in some way? I enjoyed the fact that at least every album was being represented while it was part of the setlist.

i dont think that is the reason, when they played Resurrection everyone was just so surprised, girls yelled at the videos, everyone was singing (check the youtube videos) and yet they cut it. I think this Stigmata and Resurrection being cut off from the setlist has something to do with the curfew...... if they didnt respond well to Stigmata or Resurrection, Ville would swap those two songs with some classics like Scared to death or All Lips or Into the night. Not just shorten the setlist by two songs. They will bring it back. I must believe, at least for the Prague   ;D

Post by: 666WTLOnVinylFTW on October 27, 2017, 05:46:52 AM
That's hilarious. After someone posted they were waiting for them to come on in Arizona, I was going to say start a Too Happy To Be Alive chant. Chant, sign, Sleepwalking, same thing. Pretty cool that they actually did that.

I remember them playing And Love Said No one time because a guy had a sign that he lost his job to come to the show and he wanted them to play it. Start bringing your signs, I guess. Just make them for better songs. ;) Gotta be ones they're rehearsed in with Kosmo, though, and feel comfortable with, and therein lies the problem.

Man, it would've been great if they had fans vote on what they wanted to hear during the encore on social media like WWE does at their house shows with matches. I hope we get more situations like this, whether it's due to signs or whatever. Just hopefully it doesn't wind up looking like being at a WWE event with all of the signs being held up haha because that would annoy the piss out of me if I were there.

I always wondering what is so interesting about Sleepwalking past hope...
616: in that case I will take sign Endless dark, Circle of fear, All lips go blue and "go fvcks your self with BABL and Wicked Game"...I probably needs hands  :D

I didn’t see what the big deal was about it until I heard it live as darksecret666 said it really is epic.

Sleepwalking:

- The song is nicely built, doesn't get boring at any point
- Great and cathy melodies
- Tempo changes
- Nice vocal things
- Splendid solo parts from Linde, Mige and Burton
- Simply epic.

Watching a video from last night with the rebel yell transition = beyond epic, ville does say something about it being epic on the Toronto live version I believe

I don't even know what my face looked like when I watched it... Ville singing the Rebel Yell thing in the end of Sleepwalking in that "bluesy" way worked out well. And yeah he says that in the Toronto version. Maybe someday the English dictionaries will have the meaning "Sleepwalking Past Hope" under the word "epic" :P

I read that they're charging 40 bucks for a shirt and 70 for a hoodie this tour. Am I the only one that finds that just ridiculous? They're pricing the average fan like myself right out of the market. You have to save up money for a concert nowadays like you're going on a Disney vacation. On top of tickets, transportation, food, lodging in some cases, ect, how do they expect us to drop an additional $40 on a t-shirt or an additional $30 for longer sleeves and hood? I feel bad for the guys in CKY because they're being forced to price match. I guess HIM is worried about someone having to choose between one or the other and losing out on a sale. At least they're giving away a copy of their new album and other free stuff to make up for it. That's a class act right there.

No WLADE? Setlist.fm says that Ville walked off stage upset with the sound crew. Seriously, there's always something wrong with the monitoring system. Ville just keeps looking at the sound guys while pointing his finger up to tell them to turn up the volume (volume in what?). Sometimes Mige does it too. Also Ville's doing something with the wireless mic thing in his pocket. The sound guys are pros, but how hard can it be to fix a simple thing? Also Ville is sometimes mixed too down. If you watch videos from the Van Buren and HOB Anaheim gigs, you can't hear Ville too well. Both Wiltern are slightly better. If you watch this BABL video from last night in SLC, you can't hear shit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MefGGfEm2pE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MefGGfEm2pE) And look at Ville, pointing up and also down. This video from RHIMA, you can hear him better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWbrYF3zUiY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWbrYF3zUiY) Are those sound guys mixing up the ear monitoring volume channels with the actual monitoring ones? Maybe playing Pacman using the volume sliders while eating pizza? Drives me nuts. Vittu.

went to both wiltern gigs, the first night was great but the vocals couldve been turned up a tad. Also noticed that burton's keys (piano) were specifically hooked up to a different part of the sound system, (maybe pre-recorded) nonetheless the show was a great farewell!

Post by: 666WTLOnVinylFTW on October 29, 2017, 11:21:11 PM
It's not a HIM show without Ville looking off stage and pointing up. It's one of his signature moves that I always enjoy watching. Seriously, though, why can't they ever get the levels right? The band has their own sound guys. They've probably been working with them for years. They soundcheck every night. I can understand malfunctions, but at this point all the problems should be ironed out and everything should run like clockwork. Sucks that the audience got a shorter encore because of it. If you can't hear what you need to hear in your monitor, though, it's difficult to perform. It does make Ville look like a diva, though. Remember the time he threw the microphone down pissed because the sound wasn't right, among countless other times where he was visably or audibly upset about the sound? I don't think Ville is the nice, loveable, romantic guy that a lot of people think he is or hope he is. Just take another short break if you have to, get the issue fixed, then come back out and finish like professionals. Maybe they had a curfew and there wasn't time for that.

Shame on whoever edited the Denver show setlist on setlist.fm. Quickly came on here to see the excitement about Beyond Redemption making a comeback only to find nothing. I figured it couldn't be true because it also has BABL listed twice, so whoever did that was obviously confused about what they were hearing.

Does anyone else think Ville suffers from some stage freight? Maybe he's mentioned it before, but without smoking and drinking on stage, he just seems uncomfortable or bored, and in my opinion it really meses with his singing. He has to have that towel with him just to have something in his hand that's not a cigarette or a beer. It's not a new thing, of course, just something I thought of while watching some videos of the recent performances that I never really thought of before.

I honestly think stage fright is a bit of an understatement he may be socially awkward overall which isn't necessarily A Bad Thing but yeah I can see that sometimes when he performs the shows it seems like he keeps just really anxious to get out of there no matter how excited he is to be there at the time. The Yahoo Vegas gig is the perfect example it was a really long setlist and it really seems like he was having a good time but it's just not the same as it once was. Mige on the other hand seems like the total opposite as of recent gigs the first night at The Wiltern he seemed like he was having a blast I took two friends who have never really been into HIM before and even they noticed that he has a very good burst of energy. Honestly I never noticed this before but I feel so sorry for linde that Gibson SG has got to weigh a ton for him to be holding it for over an hour and a half is really amazing

When the Farewell Tour is over and HIM is done, we will be so overdosed with those songs, that the overdose will withdraw in 20 years  ;D

Honestly considering making a sign that says, "I'm 6 months pregnant and my baby wants to hear Stigmata Diaboli" for tonight in Houston lol. I'm driving 4 hours (yes while pregnant) to get there and dragging along a friend who is gonna hate it (the hardest thing she listens to is Death Cab for Cutie, she's only going because I already had two tickets and my husband can't go, and I didn't want to go alone, plus she lives in Sugar Land), it'd better be a great show! Not to mention the fact that this will be my first (and last) time seeing HIM live.

I didn't do the sign, had no time since I had to get my oil changed before the long drive out to Houston from Leander. I also did not record audio (sorry 616) but I did get a video clip of each song! Had a blast even though we were packed in there like sardines! A few rude fans, but for the most part everyone was nice and the show was so great. I'll compile my clips and upload as soon as I can! I'll probably post each to Instagram first (same username).

Oh and yes, merch was pricey. I got the purple heartagram tee for $40 and a beanie with a a new skull/crossbones heartagram logo I haven't seen before for $30.

I don't think I'm going tonight any more. I'm exhausted. I'm not staying in Dallas so it'd be a 6 hour trip alone.  I wasn't going to stay last night as Houston is just over an hour from me but a friend let me crash.

The only thing I was disappointed with at the concert was CKY... It's sad to see them in the state they're in. Chad's vocals are pretty bad especially while playing the older songs. His voice and the bassist's voice do not blend well either.

LOL, what does that even mean? You know I only had 2 beers lol.

The only thing I was disappointed with at the concert was CKY... It's sad to see them in the state they're in. Chad's vocals are pretty bad especially while playing the older songs. His voice and the bassist's voice do not blend well either.

Haha, I know.  Yeah I?d agree that Chad?s vocals are better suited for their new stuff. He doesn?t have the same style as Deron so the old stuff sounds off.

Here's audio from Houston's show... It's lossy, I know, but it's just so that I can get this up quicker and you guys can listen and see if it's worth downloading. I have included 3 CKY songs that I recorded and I have video of everything. I shot CKY in 1080p and it came out okay, but I recorded HIM in 4k and it came out looking worse in some ways because I had to zoom in to get a good shot so it's very grainy looking... I was about 75ft from the front of the stage so I was pretty far away. Also, with 4k I was limited to 6min recordings so a couple songs are broken up into two parts and as a result a second or two of the song is missing.

The first Wiltern night was awesome. The second night just kind of a lazy imitation. Walked out during the WLADE outro, not feeling sad, but not happy either. Sold the Anaheim tix a day later.i really expected more rarities

I'm looking forward to that interview.

Hopefully he provides some real insight into how they reached the decision to break up.

I'm also very curious about the solo album.

Musically, of course, but also the fact that he has stated it will be what the next HIM album was supposed to be. In that regard, I can't imagine Ville doing anything else except for maybe a covers album that probably wouldn't draw very much interest or income. Whatever winds up happening, he's still going to be much better off than the rest of the guys who will fade off into obscurity once it's all over whether they choose to make me music or not.

I'd love to know the thought process behind the solo album and how the rest of the band feels about essentially being replaced.

LOL that's SO what I can read him saying too...

I was talking with a friend today and had an idea that HIM was in fact dead, but came back as another band that was darker/heavier, but never acknowledge their past and don't play their old songs.  Similar to Ghost, who was a pop band before they changed their gimmick...though I don't expect them to change singers each album.

I've seen a few scans of the MH interview, not big enough to read the whole thing but some larger quotes. Choice ones were "I felt like the guys weren't interested anymore..." "What's next for me? I have picked up a guitar." and "It's not goodbye. It's thank you."

Also, here is the begining of the article:
"Here, for the first and only time, Ville Valo reveals why HIM have chosen to go out with a with a bang after 26 years, and why some things are best left to die
It’s mid-afternoon on a Monday in October and all eyes in the country are turned towards the sky. Hurricane Ophelia, one of the most colossal and potentially violent weather systems to emerge in these parts for 30 years, is slowly, inexorably amassing power above the UK with one peculiar side-effect. Vast amounts of desert sand suctioned up from the Sahara has intermingled with the low-flying clouds to turn the sky a deep orange, and – as confirmed by tens of thousands of pictures appearing on social media – the sun is currently blood red. We’ve been assured that Hell hasn’t opened, but it’s as if someone’s added an Apocalypse filter to the UK and it’s hard not to imagine that if the world really was going up in flames it might look just a little bit like this – and with everyone Instagramming it as it happens.

It’s a fitting scene, because at this very moment at Murder Mile Studios, deep in the bowels of Walthamstow in East London, there’s a world that really is coming to an end. Photographer John McMurtrie is currently taking what could be Metal Hammer magazine’s last ever pictures of Ville Hermanni Valo: a man who, as the founding frontman, visionary and creative force behind His Infernal Majesty, has graced these pages more times than this 31-year-old publication could easily count. To say he’s been a giant in our world would be understating the case, because nearly 20 years to the day that HIM’s debut arose out of the Finnish rock scene and went platinum there, Ville Valo has proved himself more than a mere musician. The wry gloom of his outlook and his flair for a dramatic turn of phrase have established him as a formidable songwriter, but it’s his inimitably gothic style, his comfort with the lens, the studied way in which he expresses himself – his personification of the Heartagram – that have long since established him as one of his generation’s last, true icons. If HIM have endured then it’s because the man at the helm hasn’t just captured hearts and imaginations the world over. It’s because he’s interesting. It’s because Ville Valo is an original.

And then there’s the music: heavy as wrought- iron, unabashedly romantic, and resolutely Sabbathian while embracing the poppier sensibilities and emotional earnestness of the 80s goth movement, HIM didn’t just record songs; they built a world around themselves which Ville has presided over for a staggering 26 years. Now, like an indifferent god, he wants nothing more to do with it."

How I know I'm still a HIM fan: I woke up tonight and immediately I had this weird sorta sad sorta anxious feeling because of the Chicago show and my not being there.

Before I went to bed I saw a post from CKY on Twitter about the concert, so I guess it was the last thing on my mind before I drifted off to sleep.

Despite everything, that was last chance to experience everything for the final time. To be among other fans and to relive old memories in my head of days gone by with great friends I don't hardly talk to and never get to see anymore. I still can't really say I regret missing the show itself, but I did experience a brief moment of realization that it's really over now and it's sad thinking nothing will ever be the same again within the HIM universe as a whole. It hasn't been the same for awhile as far as the online community goes, but now I can imagine it'll only get worse. It feels almost like growing up and leaving home. I truly miss the old days where this message board and other message boards were packed with people and excitement about the band. Those boards and this one have always been a place of comfort for me. Like an old relic of better days.

Maybe they'll play that during the encore.

Being in a band is a job not unlike any other job. We're the management, and this Farewell Tour is akin to them giving us their two week notice. In the meantime, they're just going through the motions in order to fulfill their remaining duties. I'll still give them a good recommendation, but I'll make sure to note that they lack initiative.

Post by: anony12345 on November 14, 2017, 02:06:53 PM
Do you guys think it's possible that Ville dislikes a large amount of the backcatalogue? I've heard of artists having this happen before, where they start to hate their old songs. Is it possible he thinks the 'best of' setlist is actually the 'best' stuff they've done? I saw an interview a few years ago where the setlist was brought up and I recall Ville seeming adverse to any suggestions somewhat (I can find that link maybe if it is still around!)
Title: Re: 2017 - The Farewell Tour
Post by: Daedalus on November 14, 2017, 03:27:33 PM
I disagree with the fact that he hates a large back catalog because even during the ToT tour, they only played a handful of ToT tracks and still reverted to the usual Wicked Game, Join Me, BABL, ect.  I've seen plenty of bands that only play the newest album or two, and then a couple of older hits. They could have done with with any of the later tours if they really wanted to.
Title: Re: 2017 - The Farewell Tour
Post by: 666WTLOnVinylFTW on November 14, 2017, 10:05:23 PM
The only reason we pine away for the setlists of old is because the band simply had less material to choose from, and thus they were playing a larger variety of songs in order to fill time because they had no other choice. The truth is, though, that HIM setlists and shows have always been very formulaic. Over the years the setlist has transitioned into the greatest hits setlist that we know today, but older shows were the same exact way just with different songs replacing the ones that hadn't been written yet. Certain songs got played all the time still. There were one off premieres and songs that they dropped after a short time of playing just like they do today. After they were done promoting a new album, they dropped most of the new songs except for the singles. Wash, rinse, repeat. It certainly doesn't change the fact that the current setlist is a borefest or make it any better. With more songs you would expect more of a variety, but it's also not out of line with what they've done in the past.
Title: Re: 2017 - The Farewell Tour
Post by: 616 on November 15, 2017, 04:36:58 AM
who know what is really on his mind?
Of course back in the days they usually played even not released new written songs so they practiced it live and they saw the reaction of the people to these songs. Ville mentioned it many times. Yeah they stopped doing this because of bootlegs. Ville said that too. When he was so pissed? In 2004 when there was this minute long video of And Love Said No on the internet wasnt it? I still have that video somewhere i believe
Also the less materials they had they were forced to play pretty much everything. But even with 3 or 4 albums  released, they never performed certain songs - do we have informations about Dont fear the reaper, Love you like i do, dont close your heart, the 9th circle, heaven tonight? I think not. And there are songs that they performed only while "practicing" while writing to see if they work : I Love You, In Love And Lonely, Again, You Are the One, Beautiful. Or songs like One Last Time that they did only few times and dropped them immediately, something like Loves Requiem in 2014.....
And also The Beginning of the end, Our diabolikal Rapture, these were stopped in 2000 actually..... And Our Diabolikal Rapture was later played in 2002 if i am right, correct me if i am wrong.
This was still in the era when they did not have 8 albums out, large catalog and were forced to play just hits.... I think the reaction of the crowd played very important role in Villes opinion on if to play or not to play the certain song. Ville said that in some interview or on the video about some song that was proposed to him to bring back to the setlist and he said that "nah, that one just didnt work live". If it was Circle of fear or something like that i would lie, but there was a video i think of it somewhere.
This still makes no full and logical sense why they retired for example "Resurrection". This has nothing to do with the fact that its my favorite song. No, but from the videos from Spain and Portugal gigs in June, the crowd pretty much loved the song. People screaming, singing very loudly and after the song the applause was huge. Yet they retired it very quickly, after only 5 gigs. In Miljoonarock they already didnt have it in the setlist. Now we have Stigmata already retired, Pretending seems to be retired too. The same situation was here in 2009/2010, they performed And Love Said No on Helldone and in februaray they had it printed on the paper setlist, but they never played it. They only played it on the soundcheck with RHIMA. I doubt that ANd Love Said No was that bad or the crowd reaction was lame to the song on the 2009 Helldone. 
My personal opinion is that Ville is a jerk and every single detail that makes him insecure or he just simply expected to sound better he sees it as a huge problem and thats why some songs are just "album fillers". I can imagine he simply listened to the soundboard recording of the performance of Stigmata at some point and he hated it, maybe he thought he sounded bad so its retired...
the same i imagine with the rest of the dead songs that we will never hear live in this life.
Its not about "hating" but "it just doesn work live"..... that kind of thing. When Ville feels insecure, his performance is not so well. With the songs like Wicked Game, RHIMA, Join me, and i could name the entire current Farewell setlist, he is pretty much strong on it.
And another thing is that they are lazy. I think Mige confessed this in one interview, that they are lazy to practice and play old songs. I think this is a huge reason - there is no need to practice songs like Farewell setlist at all, maybe one session before the tour and thats it. And with the Farewell tour - there is really no need to give some extra effort to it, right?.... just play the "best of" and thats it. Everyone knows these songs and "we cant just skip" RHIMA, Join Me, Wicked Game...

I have seen them probably 20 times since going to the very first US show in 2004. I'm going to the last ever US show in ny and was hoping to hear one or two songs I haven't heard live..im excited to hear the usual songs one more time but I'm am sad that I won't get to hear something I haven't heard in a long time

That's the interview I was referencing too I think. You are probably right about feeling 'insecure' on some songs, although honestly I think it's strange given that some of the current setlist Ville has struggled with vocally in the past, not always but sometimes BABL sounds really strained as an example. Whereas Resurrection and Stigmata sounded like they were more comfortable in comparison.

The band poorly conditioned fans in the states over the years. In the early 2000s while they were building their fan base, the hits were needed to get people to the shows. That's fair. Problem was they kept doing that tour after tour. And casual fans were never introduced to the "non-hits"

I've been waiting to hear some information on those. My brother and I received one at the Anaheim show after I was saying farewell to my friend. He's been one of the band's concert photographers for the last several years. He surprised me with it and I never got the chance to ask him where it came from and if it was even for sale anywhere. Thanks for the informative post! I'll forever cherish it because it's probably the last piece of HIM merchandise I'll ever have received or purchased. :)

I don't miss the days of standing outside all day (usually in the freezing cold it seems; what's with the guys and their fondness for winter US tours, reminds them of home?) to get a good spot.

Enjoy the show! It'll be nice to have a recording of the last US show ever, if all goes well hopefully. Now if we could just get the first. I was on the right track at one point, but that's a story for a different day.

Looking back over setlists from the first US tour. 2004 seems like it was a century ago, yet just a few years at the same time. I remember everyone's excitement about the setlists because of Ville's comment about how the US audience only knows Razorblade Romance. Playing the entire album or at least most of the album seemed like a real possibility since he seemed worried about doing songs the crowds weren't familiar with. Of course that never happened, and we were all much more familiar with their work than they thought; much to their surprise and delight, I'm sure. I forgot just how short the shows were, though. Eighteen Visions wasn't my thing, but I really enjoyed Kill Hannah. I became a fan of them before the show even. Speaking of opening acts, later on I loved Auf Der Maur, and Monster Magnet was cool with their lead singer throwing cigarettes into the crowd and playing porno clips on the screen behind them.

Read on the CKY reddit that this last show was kind of a shit show. There was apparently some sort of trouble with letting people in or a miscommunication between the ballroom crew about set times. CKY started before a decent portion of the audience was even inside the venue, so a lot of people either missed their set completely or most of it; some of those people coming for CKY instead of HIM, so that sucks. They had some sound issues as well, having to finish their set down at least one guitar. Sounds like it was a hell of a night.

dont stone me guys, i was kinda pissed that they did not even bother to play anything special or at least different order of the songs in the setlist in St. Petersburg #1 night, was watching and listening to 2017 live version of Resurrection and decoided to make a little compilation - multicam of it. All the vids are ripped from the youtube , only one was original sourced, audio is a mashup of Tuska performance from two youtube sources edited by me to sound better together.
As videos are mostly edited on youtube by uploaders, bastardized by youtube and then ripped by me, the final result has video resolution glitches sometimes, i bet with original videos i would not face these problems with editing. Well youtube grabs 1000 GB video with 25MBPS bitrate and bastardize it to 1024 kbps stream of 250 MB size , yeah the result i made really sucks but what else do we have from the farewell tour? Few bootlegs from GODS - you guys are my heroes! And nothing from the band, no stream, no webcast, no proshot video, nothing.

So check this and feel free to share it anywhere https://youtu.be/yenYGpAvZJE 
in case i manage to compile a good sources of Stigmata with good audio i will do the video of Stigmata too!

I finally got around to watching the Sleepwalking into Rebel Yell transition. It was kinda cool, but man, poor Kosmo. Everyone else stops for a dramatic pause I guess (it would've been better if they just went right into it) and he keeps going until he finally realizes what's happening. He had a similar mishap in a video of Wicked Game during the jam they always do from one of the other shows. I can't remember which one it was. I mean, all things considered I think he's done a fantastic job taking over for Gas, but I feel kinda bad for him like he's treated as an outsider and they haven't really given him the time to rehearse with everyone and really start to gel together as a group. I can just picture them at rehearsal barely going over the songs because no one else needs to, and then ignoring him while everyone else talks and hangs out instead of practicing, leaving him to try and figure out things on his own and on the fly live. Forget Ville, I'm more interested in a Kosmo interview.

Those extempore type of transitions are hard for Kosmo, because he is playing with a click track so it's hard to suddenly change the tempo.

I think Kosmo has been the perfect fit for the band. I met him in 2015 and he was super chilled, didn’t say much but Linde did say in an interview he is super quiet. After Gas left I didn’t think anyone could replace him. Most of the HIM stuff on drums is super easy if you’re a technical drummer which Kosmo is.

They might not have set up an actual click TRACK in Pro Tools or something. Someone just controls those BPM's. Gas also played with a click at least from 2003 onwards. They have had BPM's in setlists too.

2 days until Prague gig, and i am getting a flu.... call me bad luck Brian guys.....

@Peter Forge they have a day off on sunday after the Prague gig and the next gig is in Leipzig on Monday, its not far from Prague so i bet they will have a day off in Prague, they could give a little bit more into the gig on saturday and play the entire Hand of Doom! , right?  ;D and hopefully the metal heartagram will be in Prague too! i have read that they are opening Forum Karlin at 18:00, 19:45 are The Biters performing and HIM is scheduled at 21:00 - i bet there is no curfew or limits right ? So teoretically they could extend the gig with a song or two from 21:00 - 23:00, dude i plan to get a spot at the 1st balcony as there is a handrail and its more comfortable to be leaned on it waiting and taping too, will you go to the center in front of stage or will you join me at the balcony ?

Hello there,

Just a quick question for those who have attended this years HIM performance already.  Do the concert start on time? I have tickets for Prague show on Saturday, 02 December 2017 18:00.

I am traveling there from Budapest where I will be arriving by plane. I am a little worried i won't make it on time. SO if the ticket states the time 18:00 should I except the show to start on 18:00 actually or will it start later?

Thank you for the answers in advance.

Hi,

HIM are due on stage at 9pm and the doors open at 6pm. You'll still gain access in to the venue after 6pm. Don't stress and hopefully you'll have plenty time to get to the venue in time for the concert and get a good spot.

I wish that they will keep those 23 songs from Docks 2nd night in the set + Resurrection.

Razorblade Kiss from Docks 2nd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9G4zD0M5ro (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9G4zD0M5ro)

I think that's a great performance of the song! Ville's vocals have become more audible and he sings well in key.

Prague gig was really bad. I'm wondering when they became a bunch of liars. I'm glad that was my last show because they not working anymore. Same setlist only without It is all tears and with Stigmata diaboli...HIM is dead

Very briefly about the Prague gig....that awkward moment when the supporter is much much better than the main headliner

I will write a full review about this shit from home from my laptop
The truth is that this was my worst HIM live experience, i am bitterly disappointed
This was a HUGE fiasco

Looking forward to your reviews. I enjoyed the show, what ruined it for me was the shitty security at the venue. For the first 30 minutes there was a drunk couple falling in to everyone and everyone was pushing and fighting with them. Everyone was notifying them and they didn’t do jack and when they did notice the just acted like it wasn’t they’re problem.

You guys definitely have me curious what was so bad about the show. Was it just being there firsthand to witness what people have been saying about the band all tour long, or did something happen on top of that to make it an even worse gig than usual?

Sad to hear that the gig sucked. Exactly my thoughts after when I saw them at Miljoona Rock. Looking forward to your reviews too. I'm also curious about the reason what made the gig bad? Ville? Sound? Dumb people in the audience?

Ville and the boys aren't kids anymore and they've been touring for years. They can't be excellent during every gig and that's a sad fact. In my opinion Ville sings better nowadays than the drunken Ville era in 2004 for example. But he's just playing too much with screams (voice cracks) and low oooooh things.

Is anyone (who isn't attending) still looking forward to Helldone? Realistically, we can probably expect them to play everything that's been played on the tour so far (like Stigmata, Sleepwalking, Pretending, Razorblade Kiss, etc.) Maybe they'll bring back Resurrection as well since they'll probably do a couple of encores and there's no curfew to worry about, but more than likely it won't be the extravaganza I/we were hoping it would be.

For historical purposes, I hope we get at least one solid full recording - which I'm sure we will. I've actually been surprised at the audio quality of some of the videos I've seen from the tour on YouTube. For entertainment purposes, though, I just can't see them doing anything or playing anything I'd be interested in right now. Maybe further down the road I'll get an itch and I'll scratch it by listening to the show and reminisce about days gone by. The band has sounded their usual selves as of late, but it's still nothing I haven't heard a million times before, and done better, honestly. But I'm hoping still. Maybe they'll play an old cover or have a guest appearance that's worth checking out like they did that time with the dude from Cathedral. I'm not expecting anything, though.

I know there's a separate thread for ink, but since all eyes are on this thread these days, as well as this is also a farewell of sorts, felt it appropriate to post here.

Got this done after the final 3 shows in California. My gf and I both felt getting "branded" was the perfect way to cap off a week of bittersweet celebration.  She got a simple heartagram on her wrist. I had already jumped in 10 years ago with the BABL cover image.

Just take a random show from the past seven years and change the date and venue of it in the title. You'll never know the difference. Ok, maybe you would, but most other people wouldn't have a clue it's not from this year. It's probably for the best we're not reminded of this era of the band, anyway, although there seems to be plenty of videos on YouTube from what I could tell. Who's recording and not sharing, though? Shakes the CKY fan clown?

Yeah, maybe this era is worth forgetting. When the band was doing their first US tours in 2005-06 I bought LMA Vol 1, and noticed every album had a specific era which made it unique regardless of how good the album was. So, I figured the farewell tour would be an "era " but NO, it seems it's better forgotten. If I wanna hear the last HIM gig pro recorded, I just listen to the last vegas gig


still find it hard to believe that so little effort when into the "final tour" no rare songs, autograph sessions, or even Soundboard recordings. It was a huge bummer going to the two shows we went to and not seeing cameras in the venue or even interaction between the band and the fans. This specific tour, I noticed that I encountered a whole lot of rude fans, was it just me?

it only makes sense to do that in LA because there's no smoking in buildings [although, i have no clue what the laws are in other states]  but if it wasn't gona be during WG it was gonna be during KOD which is equally as bad!

First time logging in here I?m a very very long time and last night was first him concert in 15 years (roundhouse, London). We?re some good bits, stigmata and rebel yell were great, but was a really weird feeling gig. I kind of got the feel that ville wasn?t especially happy with the whole thing. Certainly didn?t feel like a farewell!  :-\

Cry tears of joy maybe. Seriously, though, I honestly don't think anyone in the band is going to be too upset for it to end. Somewhat, sure, because it's been a major part of their lives for so long except for my boy Seinfeld, but I think they're ready to move onto the next stage in their lives. If anything, they might be relieved to not be bound by anything anymore and be able to do whatever their hearts desire from now on. It's like being locked in a room for years and then finally going outside to breathe in the fresh air. They might very well be happier than they've been in a long time during that show or at least afterwards. I mean, we've already had an interview with Ville where he finally admitted that they got together to rehearse and no one was into it. And as we all have witnessed on this tour, it's apparent during their shows. I don't think there will be any weeping except for the fans in the crowd. I hope we get some good videos of people sobbing and consoling one another while Ville walks off stage never to be seen again except for every now and again at the organic market in Helsinki. I wish the best of luck to the other guys and hope they saved and invested their money well because without their meal ticket they're going to have a hard time making money making music, if that's what they try to do afterwards. I'll continue to support them if I like what they're doing, I won't just blindly buy shitty music because of who they are (*coughgas'newbandcough*) but it's going to be an uphill battle for them.

I'm honored man  ;)

Show was fucking awesome. Hadn't heard In Joy and Sorrow or Stigmata Diaboli live in my eight times seeing them, so that was a nice treat. Pretty standard setlist with a Rebel Yell -> WLADE encore. Not embarrassed to say I cried a little bit as the last chord rung out! I thought Ville's voice sounded pretty good, and I have a few clips of him laughing and smiling with the front row. Didn't get the vibe he wasn't having a good time, but maybe that was because I was having the BEST time.  ;D

Ville said in a recent Finnish interview that the mood has been relaxed during the tour, unlike most of the tours. He also said that of course there is a special feeling when you know that it's the last time and the guys don't have to be smelling each other no more after 2017 xD

To be perfectly honest, if a reunion ever did happen (I'm of the opinion that it won't) by the time that it did I don't think there would be enough people still left that cared enough about it to sell out the shows. For a large portion of the audience, I think they're going to be one of those forgotten acts who they're reminded of years down the road somehow, and they say to themselves “I remember this band” but it won't be enough motivation for them to buy tickets. At that point they will have already moved on to some other band or other interest.

I feel like reunions usually happen years after a fallout of some kind. A way to finish where they left off sort of thing.   HIM doesn't fit that. If their hearts were still in it, but just tired, they'd go on hiatus instead. I also feel like Finns are less gimmicky in regards to "we broke up. now we're back."  I'm sure we'll see Ville show up at a Daniel Lioneye gig and maybe do a HIM song or something. But not a reunion. 

-thoughts by the guy that just got a HIM 1991-2017 tattoo and DOESN'T want them to get back together for that very reason.

SaintScream (you know, the site that steals stuff from here and doesn't give the proper people credit, and that thinks there's dots in between the letters in HIM lol) is doing a stream on the 30th. The news article on their site says unreleased tracks and a couple of exclusives. Now, I'm pretty sure they've done such and said such before and it was nothing but hype, but it wouldn't hurt if anyone has nothing better to do during that time to check it out and see what the deal is. It'll probably just be shitty covers, remixes, or live tracks stolen from this site and presented as “rare and never-before-heard” as if they haven't been available for years to anyone who was willing to look, but you never know. They did include an unreleased version of I Love You, or maybe it was Resurrection (the monitor mix?) in their mp3 discography torrent on RuTracker, so I guess if someone gave them something and permission to play/share it then it's possible something good comes of it.

No offense, but I thought those were your original rips that you did, but maybe not. Unless they switched them at some point in time, I'm almost 100% positive that they took your rips and posted them. Shortly after you did them, they suddenly appeared over there. It's happened with many other things as well. They've definitely stolen a lot from here over the years, nonetheless. None of it was that important, as none of this stuff really is, but it's the principle of the matter.

it seems weird that they would be so quick to just shut everything down without even so much as a "last chance to buy" sign on their website or something, almost like they want us to think they're gone for good but that may not be the case. These guys aren't big on social media, so it doesn't make sense they would care to completely shut down what's left of their social media platform overnight.

I wasn't expecting much from the final show, but I thought for sure they would do two encores. Either come back out and play Sleepwalking or do something like Razorblade Kiss and Pretending. Didn't they do two encores at least once during the tour, or am I just imagining things? Out of all the shows, you'd think the final one would be the one to do that with.

Dunno if they only play as much as they are paid for or just as much as they feel like it. It happened a few times now on the last tour that they played just Rebel Yell without WLADE.

Ville has never been one to show his emotions in public (other than the songs) dont you guys think maybe he ran off because he was getting upset. The backstage pics show him teary, I just dont think he wanted to make a big thing out of it for his own sake.

This is how I feel as well.

I think that's why we didn't witness anything different or special happen really at any of the shows because Ville decided to treat it just like any other normal tour and not make a spectacle out of it and add any unnecessary emotions to it that he was uncomfortable with.

While I certainly wish the tour and final show had gone differently from a few different standpoints, I can see things and understand them from Ville's point of view. HIM was his baby. What we might see as not caring might very well be him caring too much and wanting to keep his emotions in check. Everyone has a different way of dealing with stuff. For him it might have been going about things with the mindset of business as usual, as we like to say on here - including running off stage early and not being there with the rest of the band as they said their goodbyes after the show, among other things.

Still, and maybe this is selfish of me, but I feel like more could've been done for the fans to make sure we felt their appreciation for all of the support we've given them over the years. While I know on the inside that they are grateful for us, because of how Ville decided to handle things (if my theory is indeed true) not enough was shown on the outside for us to truly feel content with.

Had that picture of him hugging Mige after the show not come out, I probably wouldn't have felt this way, but that picture got to me.

In that sense, I do agree with that theory.  Remember that Ville, Mige and Linde have been friends forever.  And we don't know of their plans for the future, so they could very well be coming out with another project together.  It's hard to tell, because they don't tell us shit.  :P

Maybe if they had told us more about they "why's" and plans for the future, we'd feel a little better.

In a way im glade they didnt make a big deal out of it because it doesnt feel like they are truly finished for me. HIM will always remain my number 1 band. I think Ville was probably feeling alot more emotional than we saw or he let on, he has just always been one of those kind of blokes that turns a serious question in an interview Into a joke, He seems very private and I dont blame him, we can love the music but we dont need the in’s and out’s of his personal life as they are his and only his, he is human like the rest of us afterall.

He definitely seemed to get emotional during WLADE on the 27th then the following night they didn’t even play it and played Razorblade Kiss instead so I guess he doesn’t want to get too upset infront if everyone.

That's an excellent version of the song. I've never been a big fan of WLADE in any capacity, but I'm saving that performance. For once the “lock onto Ville” camera angle pays off.

Yes WLADE was great :) Most of the audience were holding their phones with flashlights on during the song. It looked beautiful especially on the seat rows above.

I think that may have been my favourite moment of any HIM concert.

Bringing in the big gun to help with touring to promote the new album?


Over the past couple of days I've listened to the band more than I have in I don't know how long and it was great.

I can feel another obsession phase possibly coming on, which kind of sucks because of the slower activity than usual here with the band now officially being no more and thus not a whole lot to really talk about.

I think that's going to be the biggest change for me, honestly.

Having been active on various HIM message boards since around early 2002 and this one since early 2005, moreso than not having a new album or a new tour to look forward to it's going to be getting used to having less and less people to talk to about the band that I still love discussing as more and more people lose interest and move on.

I just really wanna thank Jay for creating this place and continuing to to keep it up for us diehards.

I still check these boards multiple times a day and have done so for many years. Going without it would just be weird and kind of depressing, if I could be honest. Sounds kind of gay, I know, but it is what it is.

Awww *mush* 

Yeah, I went through that obsessive phase the last weeks of December.  I even replaced my heartagram keychain that I had lost a year before because now I felt I had to have it again.

It hit me about 7:30 on NYE we didn’t go down to Tavastia until 11:30 and I was just listening to HIM through my headphones as I went down for a few cigarettes outside the hotel between then and when we went down and seeing fans heading there for the final time every time I went down was saddening. But didn’t really hit me until we were sitting in the airport waiting for the flight home on the 2nd of January, wondering whether I would ever go to Helsinki again or maybe my reason for going had ended.

That Gas and Linde picture is from a new band called Flat Earth. They're on Instagram.

Seems like they might be in the process of, or almost finished with, recording at least an EP with Hiili at Finnvox.

Linde also has a personal Instagram now. Username lindelindstrom.

Just reading back through all the old tour dates throughout the years and it seems the played here in Wales twice, once in 04 and again in 2013.

As a kid/teen I recall Love Metal and Dark Light being on Kerrang tv etc constantly, as well as in Kerrang mag, and there were loads of us who were into HIM as teens so I'm surprised they didn't come here those 2 tours since those albums were well known here.

I wasn't massively into them like I am now, at nearly 26. Sigh. I wish I could rewind time.

It's a long shot, but if anyone has boots or vid of either of the Cardiff shows, it'd really mean a lot. <3

They do have an album out already. It's called None for One (came out in November, I think) and it just came through one ear, fell straight out from the other and that was it. Not catchy, not gloomy, not anything really.
