Nice to know. I like all the covers they did, specially Wicked Game and Rebel Yell.

Jerry Lee · « **Reply #5 on:** July 28, 2007, 08:30:54 AM »

Rebel yell. By far the best.

Crimmins · « **Reply #6 on:** July 28, 2007, 03:33:29 PM »

You can't compare them, one is studio one is live. HIM's live version is good, but not amazing. Billy idiol fuckin rules.

half the time you forget wicked games a cover

yah i know and it seems like evry review ive red of a HIM show they have to mention tht wicked game is a cover

Zhivago · « **Reply #11 on:** August 20, 2007, 03:26:37 PM »

I didn't know this.

Which video are they referring to?

Spiritual_takeover · « **Reply #12 on:** August 26, 2007, 03:22:17 AM »

Wicked Game is a great cover. Why don't they do a cover album, like Placebo did? I think it would be a double cd album considering the number of songs they covered. Anyway some covers made by HIM sound better than the original songs (Wicked Game, Don't Fear The Reaper, Poison Heart and others).

Jerry Lee · « **Reply #13 on:** August 26, 2007, 03:29:16 AM »

Someday Warner will put something together to make money off the band/Ville.

nevaskinha · « **Reply #14 on:** August 26, 2007, 09:10:05 PM »

yeah, but will definitely be nice to hear a studio version of Rebel Yell or Enjoy The Silence... maybe Larger Than Life...

man ive been wanting that for a very long time, cuz im a huge Depeche mode fan, and HIM fan, and ville singing that song is just so awesome. its so different from the original but its good in its own way.

Agree There Cover Of Rebell Yell Is There Best

Yeah, studio version of Enjoy the Silence would be awesome. But I would like full studio version of All For You and Paranoid more.

I like the larger than life cover but its hard to imagine a studio one, be awesome tho

Email · « **Reply #19 on:** August 28, 2007, 04:04:33 PM »

i like the Solitary Man Cover

Rasta666 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 28, 2007, 09:43:24 PM »

paranoid or rebel yell

if they did a studio version of paranoid it would be my fav

fictionface · « **Reply #21 on:** August 29, 2007, 01:27:55 PM »

Solitary Man !!

TooHappyToBeAlive · « **Reply #22 on:** August 30, 2007, 02:19:28 PM »

Wicked game is actually the one I like the least. Could be because I have heard it too much.

1. rebel yell
2. enjoy the silence
3. solitary man / dont fear the reaper

Emma · « **Reply #23 on:** September 03, 2007, 07:20:21 PM »

Oh that is so cool! I would have thought that Hendrix's "All along the watchtower" would beat out a LOT of those ones, wuch as Under pressure by MCR and the Used...

eairthrow · « **Reply #24 on:** September 04, 2007, 10:56:18 AM »

Solitary man is a great cover, and i have another favourite: Poison Heart! Mainly the acoustic version! Beautiful!
