I like that there are no backing vocals in this version, with later versions it's hard not to make (unfair) comparisons with the quality of the backing vocals on Chris Isaak's original. Ville's gorgeous baritone holds doesn't need anything more.
HIM HAS FINALLY PARTED WAYS WITH SIRE/WARNER AS OF MARCH 28!!!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT AN APRIL FOOL'S JOKE!!! (Check the heartagram(.)com if you wish!)
Let's all hope that whoever they sign on to next will give them much more support, and will not interfere with the band members' lifestyles or Ville's creative genius!!!
@latecia1 well I don't think he has totally damaged it with smoking and drinking (actually he has given up drinking and smoking) he still sounds great to me! :)
This was the best performance vid of them ever! His singing was at all time high, I give these guys credit. This is coming from someone who loves Black dahlia murder, whitechapel, etc. .....well done dudes.
ville has to come out with more kareokee songs only wings of a butterfly gets kinda boring ville if your out there please do some more it would be awsome and i would love you forever even tho i do. you are my only male idle H.I.M PRIDE FOREVER and good luck with your marrige you deserve it.
Out of all the covers of this song I think HIM captures alot of the darkness in Isaak's original version. Although it should be noted that no one but Chris Isaak can really hit home with this song, I still enjoy that HIM tries to make it somewhat different rather than trying to re-create Isaak's.
@exel191 and rammstein sings about pussy's... him has songs that REALLY has a meaning to people... but this is only my opinion, just had to say it.. :)
@roekoe16 wtf!?!?! this is their best live perfomance??? then i say, thats a really bad live band.... i was on many concerts...i would never pay for this, its lame...sry to all fans :/
@Galloway8652 Thing is HIM cannot make songs like they used to as times have changed and the band are aiming to go more commercial I do enjoy the new material though.
i could be wrong, but i remember overdrive, that is not a special concert or something like that.
I think it goes like that, there was a channel called Viva and one show of this german musicchannel was live music, that was called overdrive...so name of the segment, name has nothing to do with HIM
awesome! :)))))

Ihan kiva versio, kuulostaa vaan ihan vitun paskalta.
Sorry hardcore fanit, mut täs ei oo mikään vireessä ja kaikki yrittää epätoivoisesti hakea samaa taimia.
Silti ihan hienoa, kasa suomalaisia umpi-ymmärtämättömiä amatöörejä sai lottovoiton. Paskaa, paskaa, paskaa.
Ja vielä surkeempaa on ne viritelmät mitä Ville kutsuu omiksi biiseikseen... Huh...
