I love the Rebel Yell performance at Provinssirock in 1999 where the mic gives feedback and Ville say "woo" in a really adorable way. Always makes me giggle like a schoolgirl!

Did they ever record Rebel Yell in a studio or it was just for live performance...?

No they have never done a studio version of the song, it would be great if they did.

I think the best cover is Rebel Yell, but Rebel Yell from Rock AM Ring 2008 was by far the best!

This reminded me of how THE X radio station was having a "cover" song day, so you could call in and request any cover song.  I called in and said "Hey can you play Wicked Game by HIM?" and the dude was like "The one from Razorblade Romance? That's a great one; yeah, I'll put that one on."  And two songs later Wicked Game was playing, hahaha.

So yeah, kinda random, but Wicked Game is probably my favorite cover then Poison Heart.

HIM has done a lot of great covers, but besides Wicked Game, I think Enjoy The Silence and Poison Heart are the best. Rebel Yell is awesome, but I don't think it's better than Billy Idol. I like both versions about the same. And did anyone hear the Fade Into You live cover? I think that one was awesome, too.

this may sound strange but i really like the cover of all for you, the way ville sings it just makes it incredible despite it being just a intro to RHIMA.

I agree! I like that cover a lot too, especially when he switches to his high voice. I just wish it could have been longer. All of HIM's cover songs are awesome. :)

Wicked Game is the quintessential HIM cover song. It's the only one of the covers that I find is able to seem as much of a HIM song as their originals.

yeah.... this is right... but since most of their covers are live covers and not studio recordings i can't tell how the others would sound ;)

I think their best cover it is "Solitary Man". It is incredible how, after a long time of "classical" Wicked Game or (Don't Fear) The Reaper, they made a nice "cover-comeback" in 2004.
Another covers that I like are Poison Heart (live version) and Some Kinda Hate, more softly like the originals...

I did love the Poison Heart cover.  It sounds awesome and totally fits their style.

I still think though Don't Fear The Reaper is the best cover song I've ever heard, better then the original without a doubt.
