So has anyone been/is going to any dates of HIM's recent tour?

I'm going to be going on monday and I'm really looking forward to it but I was wondering if anyone who has already been or is going?

I'm going on Monday aswell :D It's gonna rock so so much.

Hey all! i went to see HIM last night and they were absolute class! you're gonna have a great time. Ville Valo is a God.

Darn you United Kingdom People!!! Just wait til they come to America!! lol You guys are so lucky, I'm jealous! :( :( :(

I posted about the gig today/yesterday in the HIM thread so there's no point me posting the same thing here :)

Got 3 pictures I took there aswell

Last night was awesome. We were worried at first when we were queuing to get in that we wouldn't because we're all under 16 and there's no adult with us but we were fine so woo! When we got in we ended up standing right next to the mosh pit and so we kept having random people thrown right into us and the guy in the wheelchair ran over my foot! The whole set was brilliant and I used up my whole camera film and as I took the last photo some really tall guy offered to lift me up so I could get a good photo of Ville. Yeah, that annoyed me but it was one hell of a night!

I saw them on the first half of the tour on January 30th in Manchester. It was such a great gig... the crown were excellent and the atmosphere amazing.

While HIM did play amazingly well and Ville did sing his heart out, I couldn't help but think that he was absolutely worn out. He did say that he had been ill.... but he looked mental and phsyically drained.

Can't wait to see them again.... hopefully it'll be at The Download festival with A Perfect Circle, Linkin Park & Metallica.

Watch "Join Me" now! You can also see HIM's "Right Here In My Arms" & "Wicked Game" videos too!

You lucky people! going to HIM gigs, i have never been to any sort of gig sniff* tho im young...i still have time :/ well i guess il have 2 catch them next time round which i doubt will be anytime soon. Ah well, i cant be sad right now its SNOWING!!! yays!

I Wanted to go !!!:(

im goin on 31st oct to hammersmith gig, be my first HIM gig missed them all other times which sucks since there like my 2nd favourite band. well lucky this time when got the cash to buy the tickets all but one site had sold out, and that site only had 6 tickets left. way too close

I'm thinking of getting tickets to the cardif gig. Rumor going round on the seether thread is that seether are one of the supports is it true or is it a little white lie????????? lol :)

*Is also going to 31st Oct Hammersmith gig*

We went through a lot to get those tickets... as in 9am at school, surfing through all the ticket sites to see if they took paypal, which they didn't... but it all got sorted in the end.

I've not seen it officially confirmed that Seether are supporting HIM but APPARENTLY Shaun told someone at a gig and then they went and posted it on the seether boards.

If they are though... 2nd time seeing HIM, 2nd time seeing Seether. Although I definately know who I'll enjoy more... *coughseethercough*

ahhh we could hope for more would be for evanescence to come and join them, then i believe we d have "The" perfect gig :D

If they are supporting i will be so gutted that i cant go. I got disclaimer ll the other day, add that to the wembley gig excitement and im hooked! :D

omfg! i'm so gutted! HIM are coming to the norwich UEA which is very near me! it's like 1/2 hour away and i really wanna go but i'll be in hull at uni then!!! grrrrr!

norwich uea? as in the uni of east anglia? :confused: i went there for four days with my year group a few years ago, had a great time, it was part of a college induction, that owned :D

anyway, i'm not going, i don't even know any of their songs :o anyone wanna recommend any to listen to? :o

Seether arn't suporting now

(This does unfortunately mean that there won't be any touring with HIM this year, I'm afraid! Sorry! We need to finish the album

oh ok emi thanks for letting us know! we'd be lost without that!!!!!

uea is uni of east anglia! it's an ok uni. my mate went there for a week 2 years ago for a summer school. she said it was fun! i'd rather go further away...hehehe!

i went to uel for a week....uni of east london. it was fun but i dont really like the uni! it was good to see what uni is like tho!

they have a lot of gigs at uea and the waterfront! it's good but ive never been!

it's farther away... that cd's incorrectly titled ;) you should know that from the bleed title.

uel? east london at a guess? i'm surprised him will be at uea... i can't really remember what was there, well some lecture room with seating going quite far back, that's about it!

they've got a big hall somewhere on campus! i've been in there when we went for a uni convention! it's quite big!

ya my HIM tickets came today (quite surpising since i only ordered them 3 days ago, oh well im not complaining). so any idea on who HIMs supports are?

well it's not seether anymore! grr grr grrr!!!!!!! sorry i dont know other than that! look on the venue website. where are you going?

I'm gonna be going to their 20th October date which will be cool - havent seen them live before. :)

x x x

I'm going to both the Leeds Uni gig and the Hammersmith one. I can't wait. I went to see them in January at Rock City and I was also lucky enough to go to the metal hammer awards to see them too. They rocked both times. Best band ever. I'm very glad that Seether aren't supporting them.

I so want to go, I'm still waiting to get paid before I can go. Only one more week to go lol :)

I so want to go, I'm still waiting to get paid before I can go. Only one more week to go lol :)

you wont be able to get standin no more, they ve sold out totally on all sites, unless your willing to pay through the nose on ebay. im goin hammersmith oct 31st, wonder if they ll do something special what with it being halloween

the tickets aren't too expensive on ebay! you could always come to norwich! they're still available here!!!

hez wtf?! seether rule! didn't you like them at the ev gig?

either she didn't like them or wants to see a different band maybe? sounds like the former to me atm though.

I didn't like them! sorry guys! But to be honest I don't care who supports as long as I see HIM!

doesn't matter :) we all have different tastes... but ofc we all like (love) ev :D

i'm sure you'll enjoy it anyway... as long as no support bands aren't to your taste... like that glitterati bunch ;)

fair enough! if you dont like them you dont like them! thats all there is to it! im sure there's people out there who like the glitterati (somewhere far out there!) but personally i think they're a pile of poo!

y'anno, this might sound dumb but I'm not even looking forward to seeing HIM anymore. :( I do really like HIM but seether...... no seether.... poo. I guess I was looking forward to seeing Seether again a lot more than I thought. I'm still going though. And I'm going to wear a seether t-shirt just because I am.

Oh well they did say if they got any good offers after they've done the album they'll take 'em so fingers crossed....

why dont you sell you're ticket? you'd get quite a bit for it now!

Nah, I'll still want to go eventually.

I love going to gigs... but I was so excited because I like Seether more than HIM and well... as I said in my last post, knowing their not playing now is disappointing.

Still, come 31st Oct, I'll still be there, probably wearing a Seether t-shirt in hope...

And I'm going to wear a seether t-shirt just because I am

wear it in protest of there abscence lol :p, still least in means seethers new album is well on the way as shaun said they we refinishing it off or going in for recording if i remember correctly and thats why they couldnt make it

yeah! suppose there is a bright side!

i just saw a huge poster advertising the him gigs in town! theres never any gig posters up so it surprised me a little!

ally come back to the wembley thread!!!!!

HIM have just added another date at London on the 30th Oct. I'm so tempted to go...lol

so am i but i think i'll be too busy at uni! sob! but if ev did a gig then i wouldn't think twice!!!!!!!

Nah, I'll still want to go eventually.

So Seether's touring with HIM? I really need to know cuz I'm going to the gig on the 25th of october in newcastle

by the sounds of it, they're not.

there's nothing on the official seether tour page either. hard luck!

seether are not supporting!!! read more of the thread and you will find that out!!!!!

Cathedral are supporting and some other band I can't remember the name of for the London shows.

Does anyone know where you can get a list of US tour dates for HIM, or where to buy them? ..

It's happening im finally going to see HIM!!!!...gosh im so excited eeeeee. Im going on 14th October lalalalalalalaaa. *ahem* First gig ever!....well okay i went to an Usher gig....but that was with friend who is usher mad. So this is the first gig for MEEEEE! *jumps,sings,*
I heard CKY were supporting HIM....but that probably just a rumour. I hadn't even heard that seether might have....but im still sad that they aren't :(
well i can't stay sad for long 'cause im going to see HIM!...right...must.stop.now

*yeah im just a little bit hyper at the moment :D *

yay HIM got best Vid at the K awards *wooooo* and Ville looked lovely again yay no beard *haha*

it's been confirmed that Cathedral are supporting. never heard of them but yeah..!

Is anyone going to the Leeds HIM gig on the 26th of Oct.? I'll be at that one and the London one on the 31st :D

im going to halloween hamersmith gig hehehe. What no beard?! damnit that suited him lol made me want to grow one! cky supporting would be good. hopefully it ll be a good supporting line up though never heard of Cathedral.

so what songs you guys dying to hear them play? my number one has to be soul on fire (recently learnt to play on guitar, love playing the solo and intro tons of fun) followed by pretending and then deaths in love with us

Yea, i have no idea who Cathedral is either. Well, we will soon find out :)

<3 Liz

Heartache Every Moment, that is just so awesome live. Gotta agree with you on them playing Soul on Fire, it just turns into a big mosh pit, tis awesome! Join Me In Death is always great too.
But i've heard them all live, soooo i'd love them to play: Beautiful, Razorblade Kiss or When Love and Death Embrace. 3 Songs that would just be pretty great live.

I wonder if they ve got anything special planned for the halloween show?

I think they'll do something different at least, i'd kill to see Gas in a clown suit or something.

lol that would be sweet

damnit i've jut re-read some of this thread and i really wanna go see HIM now!!!!!! grrr! i wish they were on tour a little earlier then i could have gone before i go to uni! grr argh! :mad: :(

I wanna see them do Heartache Every Moment, death is in love with us, you are the one, razorblade kiss, one last time, resserection...

I saw him performing live on tv once My sweet 666 and Soul On Fire i think were the songs. Sounded really good

i ve got the "...and love said no" album (along with all there others :D ) which includes a live dvd, they truely do look awesome live

i ve got the "...and love said no" album (along with all there others :D ) which includes a live dvd, they truely do look awesome live
Same...and yea apparently they are really good, and just like 40 days or something like that till i find out for myself :D

<3 Liz

SO cant wait, i dont think i ll want it to end. ultimate gig would be evanescence and HIM both headlining. can you imagine it, we could even have a joint song of "(dont fear) the reaper" since that has a female vocalist :D (dreams on...)

ps. i found out who the other supporting band is meet esoterica heres there site, and there damn class, i was impressed + very hot guitarist :D http://www.esoterica1.com/newsite/newsite3.htm

I can imagine that! Aw that would be sooo good! You got me fantasizing now!I can't wait either eeeeee :D

<3 Liz

you'll all have to get pics and post them on here! i know someone whos going to the uea show so i'l try get some pics out of them and post them one here!

that other support band are alot better than cathedral in my opinion. but i dont care whos supporting. just can't wait to see HIM!

ah kirsty dont worry, they ll be back before you know it, uk is one of there favourite places

ooooo im so gonna try and meet the band and get some pictures that ll be so groovy :p

Was gonna buy tickets to see them when they play at cardiff uni, sold out before I got there. Damn.

I only got into Him when I bought metal hammer and there was a free cd with it and that had "Love said no" on it. Bad timing.

I'm gonna try and meet them too. I have 3 chances so hopefully one will pay off. I'm praying!

tell me more about these...chances

I just meant that I'm going to 3 gigs so I have 3 chances. lol.

heylop. HIM totally kicked arse on wednesday at wolverhampton though the crowd, i thought, was fairly shit. the band deserve much more respect. however, in the circumstances i thought they put on a blinding show with ville looking just as lovely as ever. well done lads!

OMG last nights show was simply incredable. the best gig i ve been to fact. my favourite moment has to be when valo put on a jack skeleton mask and sang beyond redeption. then in the middle they stopped and added the halloween feam to it. so incredable.

the set list was (not all in order)

-soul on fire
-sweet 666
-funeral of hearts
-wicked game
-the sacrement
-poision girl
-join me in death
-beyond redemption
-fortress of tears
-solitary man
-and love said no
-right here in my arms
-burried alive by love

You forgot In Joy And Sorrow and It's All Tears from that setlist ;) And of course and the little Solitary woman interlude, hehe.
Here's one of my piccies from it:

doh! lol

it was solitary wo-man lol. cool i ve got pics but not as good as that, you got any more? ;)

edit: heres mine, disposable are crap and always look a mile away but i was pretty close

sorry to double post but only way to get pics in

whoa that was a really cool pic Emi! :)

Hehe last night was cool! It was my first HIM gig and I was definately impressed! They made a real show of it! Not sure if the bra suited HIM, but hey... all good fun :)

By the way... how cool were esoterica, the first support band???!!!

incrediably cool as i knew they would be. cathedral sucked ass though. i loved it when they played the halloween theme in beyond redemption. and starting with soul on fire..pure class tis my favourite song

well twoz the first time I've heard them! They rocked! Plus I think I'm in love with Lara the guitarist! Phwooor! Ordering EP later on! Yay!

Didn't get home until 2:30 last night! Someone decided to pull the emergency alarm on the tube so we missed the train from Waterloo and had to wait ages!!! Grrrrrr. Oh well, all in a good cause!

HIM were good. Esoterica were good. Cathedral were utter shit.

To be honest, I don't think HIM are suited to a larger venue like hammersmith. Walking from front to back of stage may be okay somewhere small like astoria but when there's a huge stage you've got to use it. So yeah, that's my little complaint about the show, that and the whole standing up for 8+ hours straight.

It was pretty cool though, the whole halloween thing made me enjoy it more.

HIM were good. Esoterica were good. Cathedral good but grannies

To be honest, I don't think HIM are suited to a larger venue like Cheese. Walking from front to back of Cheese may be okay somewhere small like Cheese but when there's a huge Cheese you've got to use it. So yeah, that's my little EGG about the Cheese, that and the whole Egg up for 8+ Cheese straight.

It was pretty cool though, the whole Cheese thing made me EGG it more.
Dude thats not kool, i dont like it wen your rude to support bands... there there for a reason. Having your opinion on them is ok tho... i just think that is a bit harsh. Tho their not my type of music (or many of the people in the crowds) Cathedral were ok in my opinion and put on a good show. I would never be a fan but some people were just bitchy. The way you said it was obvious who his hero was...ozzy (?)... well you could say its obvious of who the first frontmans hero was... brandon boyd.

Egggg, sick of being a bitch... it was fun tho :)

Wow anyway Him were really good, 9/10, one of the best gigs ive been to in a while... If u didnt go.. you missed out!!! How annoying was the line tho.... im complaining!! wow this is long!!! im amazed! ALLY stop being rude to Him and their big stage.... atleast he wasnt doing twirly wirlys..*ahem*...haha!!! lol!

well twoz the first time I've heard them! They rocked! Plus I think I'm in love with Lara the guitarist! Phwooor! Ordering EP later on! Yay!

like wise on both cases lol. check out the life is loney video!!! i tried to show you all before lol + she looks even hotter in that :p damn stupid london underground with its soddin stupid crummy district, circle and hammersmith line! me and my mate only just made it in time for the last train at liverpool street :mad:

Crush sorry but cathedral were crap. i ve got respect for them as a band who ve can put on a show as know how hard it is, but they still were crap and repative

emi YOU RULE :p

seriously how the hell did you get such great pictures it almost looks like you were on stage running from left to right infront of them snapping away!

*gets greedy* any more by chance? :D

LOL :D I was standing right on the front barrier on the right infront of Linde. I just have a digicam with extra zoom on it, it seems!!
They're my best pictures, I have a few more but most have too much smoke in them or they're very similar to ones i've posted.

LIAR lol

i d never take a digi cam or anything expensive like that to a gig, hence i get stuck with the disposable which produces crappy pictures :(

The show rocked yesterday ... by far the best out of the 3 I saw on this tour and 1 on the previous tour. the band were so up for it last night.... not seen a band have that much crowd interaction in a long time. highlights of the night for me were In Joy And Sorrow (my favourite HIM song) and Solitary Woman :D

Here are the best of my pictures ..... taken from the same place and Emi.... although they are not as good
:p

I'm sorry I didn't act on your wise words before Shadow! My God she is fine! Why is it female guitarists just look soooooo sexy on stage?!! I think Esoterica are gonna be big! Very very promising anyway! :)

not seeing them in video before the gig is punishment enough you are forgiven my son :p yea they ve had a lot of class reviews on there ep already. they will make it big and just think, we saw them when they were unknown and small :D

ps. those pic are sweet!

Emi and I stratigically planned because of live photos on their website to get to the right side of the stage in front of the hot guitarist..... and she ended up playing on the other side. Typical! :rolleyes: :)

.... and yeah I think they have a great chance of success. Fans of A Perfect Circle and Tool should definitely give them a listen.

lol she knew what you were planning and countered it. obviously a bit camera shy :p

hehehe!

Shadow do you happen to know if the last song that Esoterica played on Sunday (the one with the audience shouting "anyone" in the chorus) is on their EP? I ordered it yesterday! Yippee!

Sorry I'm not taking anything away from HIM with all my ranting, they were awesome to! But I knew they would be :)

hehehe!

hmmm not sure, ep only has 3 songs on it, rest are remixes of them (basically its a life is lonely single :p ). i ve ordered it too now. i held out before as wanted to hear them live 1st, so ordered it yesterday too.

HIM owned all, plain and simple :p

argh Emi I'm in love with your pics. The halloween gig was fab. I was stood just under the balcany so I didn't get many good pics. but it was the best HIM gig i've seen so far.

I also went to Leeds, Liverpool & Cambridge and they all rocked. I was front row for Leeds, got some cool pics and I met Ville & Mige in Liverpool which was just a dream come true!

I wish they could tour all the time!

I didn't get there in time to see the 1st support act but I have to say Cathedral suck big time. saw them 3 times now and they got worse every time!

Him gig reviewed in kerreng!.... its the hallowe'en gig, it got 4/5.... yeah, its got kol piks.... gnarley..
