WTF!!

LONDON DATE NEEDED!!

WTF!!

Calm it dude.
"You may have noticed that there’s no London date on this tour. We thought we’d investigate a little further and ask a HIM insider and it’s expected that a London show will be announced around the time of the band’s new album’s release in early February.

Will it be an intimate show or will it be a bigger venue? Stay tuned to Hammer for more details."

You should read MetalHammer too.

WTF!!

to be honest i dont see why people from london have to have big bands play in there venues all the time, to be honest i say well done to HIM for not putting a london date on there! london seems to have every band touring there, but i dont think its very fair, people like marilyn manson touring around london, well why cant he perform in places like newcastle? well done HIM for not putting down a london venue. now people from london will have to come up to the north to see them, now you know what it feels like for people in the north when there favourite bands are touring london and they have to go to london, although some people may not be able to get to london... point being WELL DONE H.I.M

Yes but the only way to get a ticket is to pre-order screamworks so don't go round calling other people twats cause it just makes you look a dickhead, which you are.

LOL

well, that was a bad gig i have to say...but you cant judge from one gig..otherwise u would never see more than two gigs from yr fav bands...relax a bit!!! IT IS CERTAINLY NOT a waste of time or money to see HIM LIve...BOOK TICKETS NOW IF POSSIBLE :)

Posted by solnantie | November 18, 2009 4:20 PM | Reply to this

LOL

Hey

Just wanted to say; please do not judge HIM from the shambolic performance at 'Give It A Name'. In my slightly younger days I toured with them and have seen them over 100 times. That 'GIAN' gig was the worst gig I have ever seen to the point that it upset me to see and I left after the first song. Ville is singing and performing alot better since he cleaned his act up. If you can get to one of these gigs then you will not regret it!

that was a bad gig. but the tour after thatt hey were totally amazing. dont judge them off one show.....

Aye but that was becuase Ville was still on the drink at that time before he went into rehab.

They were MUCH better at Download last year :D

HIM UK TOUR

Well it's not really about dedication - some people can't afford to travel.
Why are all the dates up north except Bournemouth? Fair enough not putting a London one up straight away but they could at least spread them out over England a bit more...

Fluffing the Velvet Cushion...

...with style once again.

If any of caught HIM on the Venus Doom tour or at Download festival then you will know they have really stepped up the live performances to a phenomenal level.

There probably will be a London date because the band loves london ( there usually at the Crowbar after the shows )
Anyway HIM are in their performance prime,
Still fucking you up the arse with heavy riffs but cuddling you gently with sentimental Lyrics and Ville's Baritone vocals ;)

you lot are gays.

Haha, Quite pleased to hear about this.
Gonna be like my 8th Time of seeing HIM. They get better and better now a days. Also cant wait for the new album, hopefully gonna be better than Venus Doom. I'll be dissapointed deffinately if its worst than. Venus Doom was okay, before i start to get complained at and yelled at, but take a listen to all the previous, and you'll realise that was worst! ANyway, but on a good note, YAY!

COME TO IRELAND!!!

seriously do us irish ones smell or something or is it just because we're 'supposedly' known as being a pile of shit-faced foul-mouthed alcoholics???!!

finally got it off me chest although HIM arent the only band that does this...

Posted by RoZemary | November 21, 2009 9:20 PM | Reply to this

COME TO IRELAND!!!

Yes, irish people do smell, it's down to a recessive gene in your Celtic DNA.

Now if you were all to interbreed with those Poles who've moved over, you might get rid of the Paddystench. :)
Otherwise, rejoice in your genetic identity, and the fact HIM are avoiding you!
