I love how he smokes on stage. They were amazing live. I wish I could enter a picture lol H.I.M actually helped me get through a brain tumor surgery at twelve in the hospital and past that. Helped me through a lot. Still do. Best band
TripHop B.C. Oh gosh I don’t remember when I saw them. Lol They were at the House Of Blues in Anaheim CA when it was last at Downtown Disney lol. So a few years ago. I started listening to them though when I was like 11. Stole my cousin’s CD lol was in love. They got me through brain surgery at 11.
Love me some old school ambient love metal from HIM. Now that you are borderline goth you should react to another great band from Finland - The 69 Eyes
You guys are great! You're not like other reaction channels with "wow cool..." comments, you see the details, and appreciate the small bits. Love it, you can do HIM anytime :)
One of my most favorite videos ever. HIM is so underrated. It’s cool that you guys enjoy it as much as I do. Hard to find other HIM fans out there now days. Check out HIM live @ viva overdrive 1998, will not disappoint!
He smoked about 3 packs of Marlboro a day during golden era of HIM. Smoking is important part of his image. Once he told these words "The more i smoke the better i sing". He gave up smoking because of health condition in 2010 but started again in 2012.
I would recommend reacting to The Path by HIM if you want another song on this level (not as heavy, but beautifully written) or Venus Doom, preferably live in that same concert you just did, if you want more vocals like that. BTW, Ville Valo, the singer, wrote all of their songs.
Oh boy, I've been waiting for this one! Amazing song, I'll never get tired of that insanely beautiful piano melody and chorus. But yeah, smoking on stage was Ville's trademark for a long time. He also used to have a bottle of red wine with him during the early years of the bands career. Great job as always guys, do some more His Infernal Majesty as soon as possible!
I was fortunate enough to see them on their farewell tour and they were GREAT. I was so sad to hear of them disbanding, but I’m always hoping that they’ll come together again 🤞🏽Thank you for giving them an honest listen. 🤘🏽
Thank for reacting to this beautiful piece of art. The song was written completely by Ville Valo. Linde, the guitar player has a solo project called Daniel Lioneye.
Ville wrote the lyrics, but her music, especially in her performances, was a sommunity project. This is what Ville has repeatedly emphasized in interviews.
No sabía que había personas que reaccionaran a HIM en estos días. Gracias por el vídeo. Sleepwalking Past Hope es de mis canciones favoritas. Lástima que jamás pude ir a un concierto de ellos y escuchar el potencial de la voz de Valo y en general de la banda.
I was enjoying of this performance since "live at orpheum theater DVD" came out. Countless times i saw this again and again and everytime with big pleasure. So i am very surprised that after all these years you guys made this "reaction vid" fresh one and it's trending now, especially after disbanding of HIM. Thank you guys, it was a good one ;)
Omg I still love ville valo H.I.M I remember when I seen them back in 2010 in Anaheim California at the house of blues he was amazing as always when he performs its awesome to know people still listen in 2019 H.i.M fan forever 💙
I love how you talk about the song(s) after the videos. I mean talk a lot, about the song and/or the video and not just like two words "yeah, cool". Keep it going, greetings from Finland!
This song and most of their songs have been credited to written by Ville Valo (the singer), but yeah solos are probably written by Daniel Lioneye (the guitarist).
Fun fact: Daniel Lioneye has released his own music too and if you ever watched the Jackass guys show Viva La Bam, the intro song of that show is one of his songs. ruclips.net/video/Ji27mG7ifhg/видео.html
It's a pity Ville didn't write more stuff for his low register voice in HIM. The guy has a vocal range very similar to Peter Steele but he chooses to do the whiny high register thing most of the time.
I usually don't watch any "reacting to" videos as most of them don't look genuine . But I actually follow this channel .I like how you don't "forcefully" try to react to the song just for the sake of making a new video for YT. It's clear as day that you two enjoyed listening/watching it and your reactions are natural. *thumbs up*
Love HIM. Valo has 5 octaves, pretty amazing. Love all the group, all the musicians, they were great together, but Valo will always be my fav male singer of all times for what he can do with his "gift". Love your videos guys. Hope you could find more available music form HIM.
Ah my favorite band of all time! Ville is my favorite singer/songwriter of all time. Ville is a throwback to rock frontmen like Morrison, Jagger, Ozzy....Great reaction!
You're comments had been exactly the same what i thought, when i saw this song the first time. But the best part was your faces during the performance, it was so funny. I wish more of such reviews :D
This song is my absolute favorite from HIM 🖤🔥 I always felt that HIM’s Venus Doom and [AMATORY]’s VII are two albums with something subtly similar, like two brothers born from different mothers in different countries, even though [AMATORY] were much more hardcore at the time. Both albums were released almost in the same time back in 2008, and i thought why they are so irrationally close to esch other st some very deep level. I guessed that may be [AMATORY]’s producer Tue Madsen was a fan of HIM and that’s why i hear some kind of influence but a few days ago i’ve found out that it was [AMATORY]’s guitarist, who was creating all the music at VII. Anyway Venus Doom and VII are two my favorite heavy albums released in 2008, they always come together in my music universe, two masterpieces.
Ville used to be an EXTREMELY heavy smoker in the past, also heavy drinker. He always used to both smoke and drink on stage. This concert was done quite soon after he got out of rehab in 2007 and since he is stage shy ( you would´t guess right) he was using his cigarettes as crotches to help him get through it. You can notice he is not even smoking them so much most of the time, just holding them. Then he quit smoking and cigarettes disappeared but he replaced them with drinking tons of bottles of Vitamin water. He got back to smoking since then, alcohol we don´t speak about :-) Please check their Overdrive live performance from Germany, it´s an absolute gem.
You guys should do an epic long reaction to the whole concert! It would be worth it, great concert! You should try cracking Knowing Me, Knowing You by MGT and Ville Valo, or even maybe anything else HIM/Ville Valo related 😂 love your videos guys!
Whenever I listen to this song (one of HIM's best, IMO), I am always fascinated by the backing piano melody, and it's funny you didn't mention that. As for the smoking, this concert was shot in the autumn of 2007, and Ville (the singer and mastermind behind everything HIM related, kinda like how T. Holopainen is for Nightwish) used to smoke a lot back then, he quit in the meantime. If you do more stuff from this gig (and you should, you'll find more cool stuff, like 'Soul on Fire' or 'It's all tears') you'll see him smoking some more. Anyways, great reaction to a great song.
You should check ville valo&agents- tähdet tähdet. Its an old finnish song thats very popular and at the time was made famous by one of that time most famous singer Rauli Badding Somerjoki. Completely different kind of music than HIM but think Ville nails those songs too. Saw them live with my 5y old daughter few weeks ago. Went to see Lamb of god but really enjoyed Ville Valo gig too.
I actually had the pleasure of watching HIM perform years ago, and i can confirm, Ville did smoke during that concert aswell.. i smoked the same amount as he did at the time, a 90ish min gig, 26 cigs.. :P Ville also has a very good vocal range.. quote from his wiki page ' In 2014, he was found to possess the eighth-highest vocal range of any known singer in popular music by VVN Music.' so :) there you go! also, on a side note, i as a female can match his vocal low range pretty well, i have more issues with the high notes.. :P
Yeah, this was the best live performance of their career. So if you could use this video so you surely can use the other videos from this concert. There were so many other good songs played at this concert like "Your Sweet Six Six Six", "Soul on Fire", "Passion's Killing Floor", "Vampire Heart", "Buried Alive By Love" and so on. HIM composed a lot of good songs during their career!!
As stated below Ville used to smoke at least 3 packs a day in HIMs prime years. This performance is kinda at the end of HIMs prime era. I see some lame song suggestions in the comments, you should do HIM - the funeral of hearts (live at semifinal 2003) if you enjoy villes voice.
Thankyou guys for the great review. Smoking was most definately part of Villes' image during his career. His voice was amazing throughout despite. Imo it was in its prime during their earliest years. Check out this m.ruclips.net/video/oiuxQ5v9Mqs/видео.html to see what I mean. Him-Drown in This Love(Overdrive) 1998. It has that deep to falsetto back n forth that u guys enjoyed. Hope u like and review next!
The band's name was originally His Infernal Majesty but they had to start using abbreviation because they were associated to devil worshipping which was a big problem in 90s Hel(l)sinki. HIM also fitted better to album covers.
@@operatori I wasn't there to witness it but that information came from the police and other reliable sources. The band has also talked about it and it's mentioned on their Finnish Wikipedia page.
15:23 Lana Del Rey used to smoke sometimes at her live performances, but not as much as Ville Valo, for example during her song Young And Beautiful (Istanbul 2013) or Gods And Monsters Live (Vida Festival).
Valo (singer) for the band wrote and compose almost every HIM song. You should check their debut album, Venus Doom, Love Metal and the EP if you want to hear some of the bands heavy and dark songs by them.
![H.I.M - It's All Tears (Live in Studio) [Reaction/Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/d6E2Z06FMTo/mqdefault.jpg)
People dont understand that valo got alot of vocal ranges that alot of singers lack
Yes he does if you look up his vocal range its pretty amamzing.
Hell yeah! A Master!
Absolute amazing voice!
That’s what has made me obsess! His range and music are beyond belief “ Christ his voice makes me shudder with envy!
@@ssmftattoo7960 where shall i look for his range???
I love how he smokes on stage. They were amazing live. I wish I could enter a picture lol
H.I.M actually helped me get through a brain tumor surgery at twelve in the hospital and past that. Helped me through a lot. Still do. Best band
They're amazing live! I first saw them in 2005/2006 when Dark Light was released. I've been in love since ❤
TripHop B.C. Oh gosh I don’t remember when I saw them. Lol They were at the House Of Blues in Anaheim CA when it was last at Downtown Disney lol. So a few years ago. I started listening to them though when I was like 11. Stole my cousin’s CD lol was in love. They got me through brain surgery at 11.
he smokes everywhere, i heard him say he smokes 3 packs a day :| started at 13
So nice to see you guys doing HIM again
It always nice to do HIM
Love me some old school ambient love metal from HIM. Now that you are borderline goth you should react to another great band from Finland - The 69 Eyes
You guys are great! You're not like other reaction channels with "wow cool..." comments, you see the details, and appreciate the small bits. Love it, you can do HIM anytime :)
slažem se ;)
I miss this band so much. Glad I was able to catch a show on the final tour. Awesome review y’all
New ep!
The whole concert was so touching, and the songs are so beautiful!
I wish a reunion!!
One of my most favorite videos ever. HIM is so underrated. It’s cool that you guys enjoy it as much as I do. Hard to find other HIM fans out there now days. Check out HIM live @ viva overdrive 1998, will not disappoint!
Yeah! Guys thank you reacted to HIM again! Hope to see more!
I recommend you to listen The Funeral Of Hearts or W. L. S. T. D!))
Casually singing at 5 octaves vocal range on a live performance while smoking a cigarette xD
How many octaves does he actually have?
@@natyknatyk2335 5 he is often mentioned as one of the singers with largest comfortable range. And he actually uses most of it in one song or another
HIM is amazing and now Ville Valo solo album as well.
i adore Ville's voice, i'm glad you guys liked it so much, i really hope we get another HIM reaction!:)
He smoked about 3 packs of Marlboro a day during golden era of HIM. Smoking is important part of his image. Once he told these words "The more i smoke the better i sing". He gave up smoking because of health condition in 2010 but started again in 2012.
Yeah and he drank 12 bottles of beer every morning just to get sober...
And today: no alcohol, no nicotine, no meat. His voice has changed, but not for the worse, as he just proves with the agents ;)
Tinka Ward he still smokes and occasionally eats meat...
@@fuhkshet9703 If that's right he's very sympathetic. I like people who are not so strict about rules 😄
Sleepwalking Past Hope is the Masterpiece, the piece of pure art, the gem in heavy music 🖤
I would recommend reacting to The Path by HIM if you want another song on this level (not as heavy, but beautifully written) or Venus Doom, preferably live in that same concert you just did, if you want more vocals like that. BTW, Ville Valo, the singer, wrote all of their songs.
Indeed, Ville is the author of both music and lyrics
The P.S. version of The Path is perfection 🖤
Oh boy, I've been waiting for this one! Amazing song, I'll never get tired of that insanely beautiful piano melody and chorus. But yeah, smoking on stage was Ville's trademark for a long time. He also used to have a bottle of red wine with him during the early years of the bands career. Great job as always guys, do some more His Infernal Majesty as soon as possible!
I was fortunate enough to see them on their farewell tour and they were GREAT. I was so sad to hear of them disbanding, but I’m always hoping that they’ll come together again 🤞🏽Thank you for giving them an honest listen. 🤘🏽
HIM - For you (Viva Overdrive 1998), please or Endless dark and The Path (2003, Hamburg)
Oh yes I agree!! For you is the best!😍
"For you" is a hauntingly beautiful song 🌟great pick👍🏻
Thank for reacting to this beautiful piece of art. The song was written completely by Ville Valo. Linde, the guitar player has a solo project called Daniel Lioneye.
And now 'Flat Earth'. :)
Ville wrote the lyrics, but her music, especially in her performances, was a sommunity project. This is what Ville has repeatedly emphasized in interviews.
No sabía que había personas que reaccionaran a HIM en estos días. Gracias por el vídeo. Sleepwalking Past Hope es de mis canciones favoritas. Lástima que jamás pude ir a un concierto de ellos y escuchar el potencial de la voz de Valo y en general de la banda.
Please react to HIM "It's all Tears" live at Viva Overdrive 1998 .. actually that whole set is absolute magic!
I was enjoying of this performance since "live at orpheum theater DVD" came out. Countless times i saw this again and again and everytime with big pleasure. So i am very surprised that after all these years you guys made this "reaction vid" fresh one and it's trending now, especially after disbanding of HIM.
Thank you guys, it was a good one ;)
"Bury me deep inside in your heart" from Rockpalst 2000 is a pearl!
Omg, yes
Agreed!
one of their best lyrical songs ever, and of course the purest album of them all. just wonderous. perfection through out.
Omg I still love ville valo H.I.M I remember when I seen them back in 2010 in Anaheim California at the house of blues he was amazing as always when he performs its awesome to know people still listen in 2019 H.i.M fan forever 💙

Linde did make some songwriting with valo around the time the band first started
@@JackM. he also married to the guitarist of black sabbath's daughter
best live version!!! love your HIM reaction :)
6:37 you can hear SAATANA in natural habitat 😂😂
It's a pity Ville didn't write more stuff for his low register voice in HIM. The guy has a vocal range very similar to Peter Steele but he chooses to do the whiny high register thing most of the time.
We need more HIM on this channel! Thanks for the great reaction. 👌

Gas be killing them drums
This is my favourite song played at my favourite performance by my all time favourite band. :) So excited to see your reaction. :)
Saw them during their farewell tour in 2017, I had a blast, best concert ever.
Ah my favorite band of all time! Ville is my favorite singer/songwriter of all time. Ville is a throwback to rock frontmen like Morrison, Jagger, Ozzy....Great reaction!
Amazing video ♥♥♥ please more HIM
Thank you for talking about this song!
This whole show is a masterpiece from start till the end.
Ah, I remember that. Ville smoked and drank some wine 🍷 on the stage during his “golden era” performances.
The band of my teenage years 😍 nostalgia
🖤🎼 любимая песня. HIM гении в музыке

This is the best concert ever. Yall need to watch the whole thing sonetime❤❤❤❤❤
This gig was so beautiful! The sound is epic and come from another world 💖 please watch Live at overdrive :)
INDISPUTABLE MASTER PIECE!

Thank you guys for your reaction!)
My passion of music, singer since he started to sing...he is so amazing. Please check out Summer wine next you do HIM.
Oh finally, thanks for doing that! :)

Ese concierto que dieron en el Orpheum fue sin duda épico desde principio hasta el final
Yo los he visto dos veces en mi país y no me arrepiento de nada de lo que viví en esos momentos 💕

I've seen HIM twice and talk about amazing.
I sang this song to my girlfriend and HIM is my number one favorite band thanks guys
If someone sang this song to me, I would love them forever. :) Cheers to you.
luckily i saw him live 2 times before they stopped
Such an amazing band and Ville one of the most brilliant musicians ever.
Ville sounds so gorgeous here. What a vocalist ❤️
I love HIM.. and im from malaysian..
Do "For you" at viva Overdrive from HIM! Love to see your HIM reactions!
Yes!!!!
It is sad, that there is so few Him reaction videos in YT. Copyright issues I think.
You are correct, Copyright restrictions is the cause
Dark Light and Venus Doom are incredible Albums.
Thankyou guys for the great review. Smoking was most definately part of Villes' image during his career. His voice was amazing throughout despite. Imo it was in its prime during their earliest years.

That kid looks like he genuinely enjoys all kinds of music.
Thank you ♥️♥️♥️♥️🤘
The best about HIM is that they are unique and, trust me, that's much to say in music.
One of the few time you hear the inner metal demon Valo holds lol
Ville valo is the goat. I wish i couldve seen him live before they stopped doing music
react to HIM - for you
Maybe next time can you react to The kiss of dawn or Heartkiller
Check out "for you" live in 1997 jyrki
I caught this Shaw and when that piano riff came on i lost my frickin mind
Love Ville , And love this video ❤️🤘
MORE HIM
The band's name was originally His Infernal Majesty but they had to start using abbreviation because they were associated to devil worshipping which was a big problem in 90s Hel(l)sinki. HIM also fitted better to album covers.
Nice story, but nobody in Helsinki was concerned about demons at that time. They were more about torching their own businesses for insurance money..
@@operatori I wasn't there to witness it but that information came from the police and other reliable sources. The band has also talked about it and it's mentioned on their Finnish Wikipedia page.
Believe me, in Finland nobody cares about that Bible stuff.. If you want to be Satan., nobody gives a shit 😂
Just randomly saw this video. And yes Valo has a sweet vocal range and he smokes 2 packs per show or more lol true ganster!!!!
15:23 Lana Del Rey used to smoke sometimes at her live performances, but not as much as Ville Valo, for example during her song Young And Beautiful (Istanbul 2013) or Gods And Monsters Live (Vida Festival).
HIM - Close To The Flame (live Turku 2002)
Pure Loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🤘🤘🤘🤘
He used to smoke during every performance since the beginning of the band. I think he quit around 2010....
He started it again in 2012
Hi guys! I suggest from HIM "Our diabolical repture" from Overdrive and Cover " Don't fear the Reaper"
the singer writes all of it. in fact, he was the drummer for the guitarists solo album lol
React to Venus Doom fron HIM
Valo (singer) for the band wrote and compose almost every HIM song. You should check their debut album, Venus Doom, Love Metal and the EP if you want to hear some of the bands heavy and dark songs by them.
Valo is not the only one who smokes on stage, Tom waits smokes AND drinks his beers on stage xD
