LONDON SHOW



Ville wore basic Black trousers shirt and waistcoat during the performance. he interacted with the crowd quite well talking to them and posing for pictures real close like leaning over the stage and shit. Fair play to the guy.

Lindes hair is fucking long now and he played his White Sg.

Gas is still bald and played the (H)-(I)-(M) kit

Burton has a cool beard and wore a white wife beater vest.

the setlist was something like :


Vampire Heart
Poisen Heart
In Joy And Sorrow
Right Here In My Arms
Killing Lonliness  ( I love this song )
Buried Alive By Love
Your Sweet 666
It's All Tears ( they played it diffrent though
Join Me
Wicked Game
Razorblade Kiss
Heartache Every Moment
Soul On Fire
Wings Of A Butterfly


Some I cant remember and I know thats not exact but near enough

After the show Ville went to the Cro Bar. thats all I know..


Thanks if you read all that, it took me ages.


Thanks for typing all that Shay!  wish I was there.  :'(

just one small thing.  Ville? check, Linde? check, Gas? check, Burton? check.    mmmmm - forget someone?  ;)

The gig was ace  ;D I'm so glad I went - I had the best fucking view I have ever had at a major gig.  I was only bout 40ft away from the stage.  Anathema were tonnes better than Cathedral (they even finished their set with a Pink Flloyd song).

Ville was looking fucking seeeeeeeexy as usual - even more so with the great view I had.  They played a good mix of songs altho I was expecting maybe a few more songs from the Dark Light album - but maybe they're saving tht for January (roll on 19th January  ;D Carling Academy Glasgow here I come!!)

Just like to add tht it was great to meet u Shay  ;D

EDIT: My pics didn't really come out tht well but I have giving my memory card to my dad and he's gonna c what he can do with them so I will post any good ones when I get them back.

The merch wasn't up to much - just t shirts from what I could see but I wouldn't say it was expensive it was £18 & £20 for t shirt now tht's not bad coz I have paid £25 - £30 for a tour t before so to me tht was the price i was expecting.

Shepards Bush 19.09.05



Okay so heres my take ont he gig.

Me Dan666 his girlfriend and my girlfriend all set off in the car to london at about 3pm listening to Dark Light on the way down on a personal cd player since my dads car cd player got stolen 2 days before.

 We got to Shepards Bush at about 5.45 and were just around the corner from the gig (outside a pub which I also cant remember what it is called).



Anyway I signed up for apparently a new offical HIM mailing list and then we just waited for about half an hour outside the pub looking at everyones different HIM shirts. I spotted a GLSV666 tour shirt!

6.30pm the reapers started handing out the fliers. I managed to swipe 8! I wish i could of swiped more but they were pretty careful they didn't give to many to one person.


(Becky, Dan, Char)

6.45 Dan said to me while we were all taking photos of eachother in the queue 'haha look at that mercedes its blocking the road and everyones beeping at it.' Little did we know that 5 minites later screams and flocks of people were running to the alley way that the car went down to get a look of Seppo and Ville who had just got out of the car!


Ville's Merc
7.10 The queue was finally starting to move. The gig was about to begin!

7.35 roughly the support band Anathema started playing their first song as we entered the venue. We got as far to the front as we could. I thought they weren't bad. They were kinda emo/blues/indie i suppose. Atleast the crowd were pretty respectful to them and they didnt get booed or bottled.







8.45 and everyone was inside. We had standing and were about 5 people from the barriers. HIM were going to come on stage opening with Vampire Heart in 15 minutes. We got chatting to a tall scandinavian guy and another guy in a black hat and who had seen HIM 6 times. I was talking to them about Dark Light and he was telling us about the Golden Gods 2004 that he went to.

9.00 HIM entered the stage to a masive raw and a pretty crap back drop. It was all projected shit and was quite difficult to see apart from the heartagram. First song was a shocker. I don't know anyone that was expecting them to open with one of their new songs but it worked great. Vampire Heart works awsomely.





5 Songs into the gig me and my girlfriend had to leave Dan and char at the front because my girlfriend was finding it all a little to intense and she needed a drink. But pretty soon Wicked Game was played which she loves so we rushed back to the front and found dan and char again.





Ville's voice sounded pretty good throughout the gig. Slightly rough at first but he soon got it right. The gig was absolutly awsome and it was made really special. Killing Lonliness live sounds awsome and Ville did the 'special' vocal ending for it.

10.35 and HIM go off for a quick piss and Burton is the first back onstage. He comes to the mic but I couldn't hear what he was saying and I thought I had heard Plasma Mullet. I nearly shat my self until he went to the keyboard and played the intro to The Sacrament  :'(



I didn't think The Sacrament was a good song to end the gig on. I perfer it when they play a heavier song such as Soul On Fire or Burried Alive By Love.

10.40 and HIM were gone. The gig over. And everyone heading for the exit. I stayed behind because char need to look for her lip ring that she had lost so i waited by the stage and managed to score a setlist.  I was amazed at how obsessed people can be though. There were girls beging the security Guards to pass a fag but on the stage.

The funniest thing i saw however was when one of the crew passed out a handwritten setlist (Mige's) and two girls tried to grab it at the same time and it ended up ripping in half.

10.45 Char found her lip ring and we headed to the merch stall so dan could get a shirt. And then left.

A Great Night. A great Gig.

I think Burton looks awesome with a beard, he looks like Dicamillo.

Upload them to a zip file, or photobucket or something.

I could be getting a DVD recording of this if all goes well.

Are you kidding?  Don't be modest, they're great.

You should see the pics I took last Oct. in Manchester and London.  They totally suck and I was only like 5 people back from the barrier.

These were tooking on a mobile, thus leaving them pretty much useless in terms of converting and such. Ill see what i can do though, you may have to wait until the weekend until anything happens with them.
