What covers made HIM in their early years?

[Spiritual_takeover]

HIM started off as a cover band, that's what I've heard. What were the covers made in their early years? Before Wicked Game & Don't fear the reaper...

[six6sixways2love]

from what i've heard they covered alot of maiden and sabbath. but none of it exists cause they were just a bunch of teenagers jamming in a house

[Grim]

Wicked Game is one of their most noted.. That is my guess why they play it so much live

[outerheaven2005]

They sang some US pop songs in finnish

[LonelyRoad]

a lot of bands start out as a 'cover band'

gotta jam someone else's songs out for a little while until you get the feel for how the others operate.

its much much much easier that way.

quoted from 'synnin viemaa'

"The band was called B.L.O.O.D......... We played Run to the Hills instrumental from Iron Maiden"
"Then we started to perform at school parties as the Elovena Boys.   We played songs from U2 and Dire Straits...."
..."We had also been busy rehearsing Smoke On The Water from Deep Purple, Purple Haze from Jimi Hendrix and Paranoid from Black Sabbath."
