i wanna see the setlist!!!!
Wasn't Ville doing Rambo Rimbaud advertised for today from a long ass time ago? From what I read in another thread, as of earlier today it was going to be both that and HIM (possibly a translation error or something), but then it ended up just being HIM. What the hell happened there? Does anyone know? Kind of a shitty thing to do to the HIM fans that bought tickets because they specifically wanted to watch a Rambo Rimbaud set. They got treated to the first ever show with the new drummer, so that's nice I guess, but still not what was advertised and what they paid money for. I just have to imagine that not all of the HIM fans in attendance would've been there had HIM been advertised from the beginning instead of Rambo Rimbaud. There's always chances to see HIM, but seeing Ville do his solo side-project live is something you have to take the chance at now if you want to experience what it's like, and it just seems to me like those people got robbed of that opportunity today.
i am seriously considering making a special T shirt for the gigs with the "FUCK YOUR BORING SETLIST!" on it but i am afraid that they will think that its meant for the other band .... and i may get killed by the touched 15 years old girls

I doubt there's any HIM fans who would be bummed about seeing the first performance with a new member instead of Ville standing alone playing atmospheric shoegaze. Those wouldn't really be "HIM fans" now would they? Anyone who actually thought Qstock would ramp down the energy of the festival to accommodate a quiet guy with an acoustic guitar wasn't really using their brain. I knew from the outset that it would most likely be HIM that played today, which is why I've been monitoring Instagram/Twitter all day. As for false advertisement, you pay for a ticket to a festival to see multiple bands, not one band, otherwise you'd be getting ripped off for the price.

As a HIM fan (obviously, or else I wouldn't even be here) if I would've been the one to have paid the price of a festival ticket because Rambo Rimbaud (what we know to be the name of Ville's solo side-project, not just another nickname to refer to him as) was advertised to play and that was what made me buy the ticket and show up to begin with (which isn't exactly the smartest use of funds, I agree, but I've done it before when I went to see the band play Projekt Revolution, but I don't use my brain well apparently so that must be why, although I would argue that doing something like that just to see HIM and HIM alone would be the very definition of a fan, but it's whatever) I would've been bummed that I didn't get to see something special and unique like the lead singer from my favorite band do a solo set (seeing as who knows if/when another opportunity to do so will arise). If it was Daniel Lioneye that was advertised from way back instead like Rambo Rimbaud was and the same thing happened where HIM came out and performed instead of them, would you feel the same way about it like you do in this instance? Probably, but I hope at least you can see where I'm coming from a little bit better now. Despite it all, I also do fully understand that there's an overwhelming number of fans that don't care what happens as long as they're in the same vicinity of Ville and get to stare at him in person for a little while, and that is likely the reason why no one else besides me who wasn't even there is even bringing up this shit and talking about it. They don't care about it, so I shouldn't either, but someone has to be the voice of reason around here.
