HIM - Wicked Game - Wembley, July 8th 2007

[alexrose1uk]

Having seen them a few times, they get a bit boring live (in my opinion :p). Not to mention I prefer thier older stuff (Love Metal etc). Im sure you'll get other good bands come through.

[gigimusik2]

I want that HIM come to Peru T________T

[MikhailAaron]

In Moscow was hot too)

[MrEmoMonsterr]

Jeez , i was there , that was before i loved H.I.M so much , and now feel like a total jerk for not liking them at this gig.

I was just there to see metallica , but it kinda put me off how the Metallica fans booed H.I.M

[specialness16]

yeah I would have thought Metallica fans, or any fans of alternative music would have at least had like enough decency to give a band a chance regardless of whether they liked them or not - after all what you're into is all about taste, and unless you give musical reasons for not liking a band is pretty much pointless - booing and jeering is just cowardly really - it's cool you have an open mind though I like both bands though HIM is probably my favourite modern band, I listen to jazz mostly

[hispoisongirl36]

ALL bands have haters so HIM not getting good reception isnt a big deal...metallica fans can be dicks, true, but they payed to see metallica....but they shoulda been more respectful becuz they just made themselves look like idiots...and even metallica have had haters who have spit on them before and called em sellouts of course and the whole napster thing...but im not saying, just pointing it out....HIM has loads of fans, and thats all that matters...personally i think metallica is overrated...

[hispoisongirl36]

btw, the guys from metallica personally chose HIM to be their opening act, i think it was Kirk who really liked HIMs music...so metallica fans should know that.....

[bunnygirl373]

mhmm i no people payed money to see metallica... but i went to a concert to see black sabbath and they had other bands playing there before they went on and i didnt even like them and probaly other people didnt but they payed there respect to that band and the people at that metallica show should have done the same with HIM.. I love HIM they are my fav band ever, if i was there i would have told every on down there to shut the hell up and stope booing at them just because you done like them..

[bendinggreenvans]

yeah the metallica fans were being stupidly indecent really, I saw this bitch walking around with her fingers in the air (in one of the other videos) that annoyed me, what a dork

[marcelovesrock]

YEAH THEY ARE VERY SILLY...I LOVE HIM

[vAmpyr616]

did they get good reception at this??? metallica fans can be dicks to support acts.... i would know.... i am one lol

[agatju]

This is fuckin' awesome! I do love HIM ! ! !

But what happened to audience? How they can not enjoy the concert?...

[QuutamoMoonlight]

That was kinda harsh how people threw bottles at them. They wernt bad at all, I miss that day, great memories:)

[hyvaailtapaivaa]

HIM forever <3

[mrsamwise]

lessthanmason is right, both bands are good in their own way but putting HiM in front of a heavy metal crowd is asking for trouble much the same way as putting 50 cent in front of a reading crowd is asking for trouble

imean hey guys are always gonna bitch at someone like ville as he's become like poster child for 18 year old girls ( i can back this up people i was at HiM in brum in 06 and the number of claires accesories goths was fucking laughable

[DaisukeTakao]

Disrespectful idiots! Music is music! You dont go to a show and boo one of the acts! Fucking idiots! I mean come on! The majority of Metallica's fans are dumbasses who's IQs are that of a boot's..

[beautifulandblind]

fuck you.

your calling people "disrespectful idiots" and theres you insulting metallica fans.

yes, your entitled to your opinion, but maybe you should try thinking before you say something.

metallica AND him = love.

=]

peace xxx

[DaisukeTakao]

Actually I'm basing this on something that has been proven to me personally unwise? Maybe. True? Possibly. I'm not saying they all are if you notice I said "majority". I know alot of metallica fans. Let's say about 13. 8 of them are the people who think they're so tough and think they can do what they want. The other 5 are older people who know what they're talking about. And don't insult someone and say "peace xxx" e.e

[beautifulandblind]

i wasnt insulting you.

i was merely pointing out the flaw in your statement.

xxx

[DaisukeTakao]

ah ok my appologies

[beautifulandblind]

=]

xxx

[LessThanMason]

metallica should have known better than to have HIM be their opening act. their 2 completely diffrent styles of music so obviously the crowd isnt gonna take it too nicely. HIM's a good band as well as Metallica, but i like HIM more.

[Vampiberry]

I would be happy because I like both :D but youre right, HIM is more special for me

[beautifulandblind]

i love metallica and him, too.

but yeah most people like one or the other.

they didnt really think it through.

lol.

xxx

[azz1985]

they got booed off half hour early. they sucked plain and simple

[HIMmyheart]

you idiot!HIM not emo...but love metal!fuck!

[vonHelsinki]

maybe it wasn`t a good compatible choice, i mean metallica and him, becouse the mood is so different?

[denigm]

shut up you little piece of shit HIM is a good anyway and im not saying that metallica isnt good

[EVILLORD987]

him r shit

all the people payed to see HIM suck !!!!!

[19gillybean85]

fuck all the people that said they suck. they still have your money so they really dont care!

[Fribbe]

Oh you emo fuck. People payed to see METALLICA and not HIM!

[AngelOfSacrament]

And some people payed to see HIM and not Metallica!!!

[Fribbe]

Well, go and to a fucking HIM concert then, not METALLICAS CONCERT.

[villesooocool]

i didnt care that it was Metallicas concert, all i cared about is that HIM was there thats why i went.

[originalbloodlord]

booed all the way they suck balls

[evilxgirlx666]

I agree with people who said HIM didnt fit in their, but I still dont think the 'Metal' fans should have been so disrespectful.x

[martingoresound]

stupid posers ,with fatpig behaviour !

everyone can clearly see they don't know much about music , just posers with black t-shirts , this is all they know ,even about Metallica !!!

[thephantomgateHIM]

i think it's awsome they open metallica.. HIM it's my favorite band.. and it's obviously not to everybody going to like them..

[xN4Zx]

hahahaha

[Fizzzer]

this is so not intereseting to wathch.

[sambrown52]

i dont think you should comment on the performance if you werent even there. i was there. and i like all four bands that played.

i think it was wrong to place HIM after machine head, cos the whole crowd was pumped after the huge machine head pits.

but owel. they are a good band. just didnt fit in.

[Madhouse2332]

i don´t hate HIM but i Do not think that they should be open act´s for MetallicA... open act´s for MetallicA should be like Trivium and that kind of bands....

[Narvalha]

You are 100% correct.

[bammagmargerafan]

love HIM

but dont tihnk they should have played after everyone was moshing as said by iheartagramville.

xx

[iheartagramville]

well i thought all the bands were amazing! i love HIM like crazy but i agree they shouldn't have been there or if not they should have been on first as everyone had just been moshing + were realy hyped up + HIM were not the best choice to have on straight after they should have gone on first! but people shouldn't have been so negative as as far as i no no one in the audience have had an opotunity to support metallica!

[bmagreene]

I was in the stadium to see Metallica, and the booing was from a small minority and was barely audible. HIM were better than I expected, as I had never heard any of their music before. I really don't know why some Metallica fans were so negative!!

[LindeLionEye666]

I'm glad to hear that from someone who was actually in the stadium.

[stuartlarge]

HIM suck get over it.

They could never survive with Metal giants like Mastodon, Machine Head and Metallica.

What did HIM expect? everyone clapping and singing along to gay boring songs.....no.

[neam88]

well no, i agree with you, but they shouldve had the decency to stay quiet and show some respect that they at least tried...

[glove2him]

HIM are very very good. I hate the other bands, but i'm not going to degrade them because it does no good. The Metallica are just several crusty old men trying to rock and failing is something i suppose you dont know. That's ok, just dont insult music that doesn't quite suite your taste

[booolki]

HIM is the best and don`t blow up with JEALOUSY, please! :)

[alexrose1uk]

I wouldnt go that far :P but there are a lot worse out there!

[Humn2k]

Jealousy? why the fuck should bands like Metallica and machine head be jealouse? HIM SUCKED so bad in Oslo aswell.And people booed at em, which I understand very well

[booolki]

linde (guitar) was very angry and played guitar very loud

[alexrose1uk]

Which ironically made them better than the earlier bands as you could actually HEAR the guitars and vocals, funny how life goes, no?

[booolki]

How could ville sing loud, if Idiot Metallica fans were screaming VERY VERY loud... maybe he didn`t want to sing for them well?

[HeLuvsMeMore]

I would venture to bet that Metallica doesn't even want to claim these people anymore. Can't say we didn't see this coming though...they had to KNOW that this wasn't exactly a marriage made in heaven. Just glad it didn't seem as if anyone threw anything at them! Just a bunch of losers booing and not even giving it a chance.

[midude007]

this performance rocked!!!!!!!! i got nothing personnally with metallica, but i do with their dumbshit fans who booed dem

[humnabuzz]

im sure they thought it would be a good bill..bringing different fans together to maybe expand their listening audience for all the bands. you cant categorize him they are their own genre..a bit different.

[alexrose1uk]

Agreed Metallica were amazing, but I've cleaned this commentary up, no reason for there to be a lot of shit posted over it, when if you dont like the band, there's no reason to be here and commenting in the first place. Simple fact is that from the stands, Machine Head and Mastodon were NOT that impressive, really bad mixing.

[elliefanta]

i agree completely wiv metallica 135

metallica were fucken amazing

JAMES=GOD

[humnabuzz]

and im sure he was ashamed of the fans...him was there because they wanted them there...metallica likes them and thought they were well deserved...finnish music scene has been very good to metallica..apocalyptica has given them a whole new audience. hims just getting started so get use to it.

[alexrose1uk]

Hetfield was seen in the crowd watching HIM, so I'd agree, if they didnt want them there, they wouldnt have been invited, or watching. The Finnish and European music scene has a lot of good metal bands, of varying types. HIM just aren't the same type of Metal as Metallica.

[crimsonmoon92]

WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!! HIM!!!! I wish I would've been there to support the band.

[theredbfg]

I agree shame the stupid little kids at the front ruined it

[drfrisby]

Yeah, i was in amongst the wankers, i felt like cracking some heads open

[lildeathmetalrmajor]

I Thought HIM were fabtastic apart from the fact that Ville Valo didnt sing loud enough and his voice was drowned out a bit by the guitars! LUV IT!!!!!!!

[AnnaPassionis]

thanks for sharing with us this fantastic video (this song is amazing and ville sang her sooo well)

[AnnaPassionis]

sang it so well*
