[MotleyCrueGrrl666]

[kakashi1090]

0:37 dude has the best bass face.

[wwwwir1]

He usually dosen't look so "girly." He last so much weight then. :( He looks GREAT now! ;)

[wwwwir1]

@wwwwir1 "lost" weight. Although he's always slender.

[SabethRavenwing]

i like the sound, but can't get over that the lead singer looks so girly

[mehself13]

This comment is pointless. But I'm the 666th like. Great song too

[rancid3757]

Yeah haggerd

[milest42]

Don Vitos song! YO!

[milest42]

Don Vitos song!! YO!!!!!

[eminemluver888]

has anyone else noticed that some clips are from bams:haggard .....any ways love him and im in love with mr.ville valo

[teriseopotamus]

@eminemluver888 bam made ville famous here in the states

[drlovebutton]

This version captures the lyrics emotions better than the original. My opinion of course.

[1951DDR]

A great cover! The chilling keyboard tone in the second half of the song makes it.

[stitchesinyourface]

Beautiful Ville... so slim... and.... shirtless.... gggrrrrrrrrrrrr

[shhhid1]

Enjoy this video every time i see it!!!!!!!

[666thekids]

doesnt get old afther the millionth time

[JONWWEKREBS1]

He kinda looks like Ozzy in this video!

[larissa5337]

oh hes so skinny . hes so hawt 

[darksorceressharuko]

Got my love of Neil Diamond from my Mom (R.I.P.) and got my love of HIM by myself. And this song rocks!

[09stoneheart]

I really consider this my theme song.

[stardomer]

I WILL BE THERE FOR U VILLE I LOVE U XD

[irishviolet14]

Did I see him do the Billy Idol Sneer a few times? I love it!!

[PrincessAkii427]

That "chick from CkY" is Bam's ex gf and that was a clip of themovie Haggard.

I love HIM.

[13OmarFlores]

i know what mean ville :/ 

[juniemoon63]

my daughter has been a HIM fan for years; just the other night she sent me this song...I

am from the Neil Diamond days (love my rock, tho!). This song freaking rocks! great job!

[KMarXno2]

I'm straight and Ville makes me wish same sex marriage was legal in my state.

[Bestintheworld1320]

Ville is straight he has a gf

[DUHBOfficial]

you can tell Bam margera directed this. because the editing is awful. and its got that chick from the cky series

[bludluva]

@DUHBOfficial HE directed this? unbelievable. whatever happened to the pro skateboarding? seems like he literally makes a living by just screwing around.

[MrsLC77]

@bludluva He does not make a living screwing around he directed 4 videos for the band for 2 reasons. Reason 1) he really likes the band Reason 2) he wanted to make a video for 1 song which was Buried alive by love and their manager Seppo called him to make a second video for The sacrament, then theyall decided to go to Pennsylannia to do videos for 2 other songs Solitary man and then And love said no!!

[lemoniceluxe]

Dudes... It doesn't matter if Villie is gay.

You shouldn't care.

(So maybe I care a little. If he was gay, I'd have even less of a chance.)

[Lancerlady]

You know, I'm the "older generation" but I LOVE this remake because I too love metal and this just kicks ASS. I saw them do this live at HOB in Orlando because my friend was their tour manager and I hadn't even ever heard of them but this blew me away and I also knew their "Wings of Butterfly" song. I got to meet the band, they were so frickin' cool. I really liked them.

[Onyx0Mango]

AHH!! THIS IS NEIL DIAMONDS SONG!!! OMG!!! This is FUCKING EPIC! hurrrrrr..... Them doing a cover of his song is just... IT'S JUST AWESOME!

[paolamaregatti]

I really felt something important when I first listened to ville valo singing... it doesnt matter to me what he is... or what's his sexual choice... he's an artist... I mean ... an ARTIST... he's an excellent songwriter, a fabulous musician... so I dont care about those aspects of his life... he belongs to the most wonderful band in the world...

[dreamofher665]

@paolamaregatti it's nice to see others that feel the same about Ville and H.I.M. as I do!

peace

[MrETCtv]

13 people Found Melinda holding Jim and loving him...

[Pinkspiderable]

Ville is just Ville we love him no matter his personal choice of female or make he's a wonderful singer, writer.

[r3ezro]

Rockstar!!!

[XxfilthifyxX]

Hes really gay??

[Forgottenandignored]

@XxfilthifyxX No who told you that lie??

[CallMeMidnightAngel]

@XxfilthifyxX What? NO

[Pinkspiderable]

@XxfilthifyxX he just likes everyone but seems to me his heart is with women.

[XxfilthifyxX]

@Pinkspiderable i was just wondering cuz everyone i know was saying that he really was gay so,,,

[BrianMChampion]

All this shirtless goth sh** is utter bullsh** but this is a damned good cover nonetheless. Extra Credit for Gibson SG. Four Stars, Lads.

[Milkit94]

FUCK YOU VEVO! YOUR DUMB FUCKING ADVERTISEMENTS!

[Agownsrs2]

I'm not gay but GODDAMN Ville is a stud! :D

[wthlolrofllmao1234]

@Agownsrs2 i'm not gay either but he's more then a stud T-T hahaha

[guachu94]

lolz i think some of the scenes are from haggard.

[arizonabay07]

he looks like the guy from Big Bang theory with long hair.

[SYNfulfoREVer]

@arizonabay07

OMG I discovered that today too and just about had a heart attack. Thought I was the only one that noticed. Glad its not just me.

[abd12385]

0:11 epic kitten face

[goodnplenty761]

i'm a solitary woman :(

[saintjon13666]

iam not fooled ville likes cock in his ass....ville is for the gays!

[zheckman89]

at first i was like 'whys he a moose...'

[Bubbleylove1]

♥-][=][-][-][Y][-♥

[Bubbleylove1]

This needs more views!!!!!

[21stCherryGirl]

2:13 - 2:27 I keep replaying over and over. One of the most beautiful music video moments Ville has ever had IMO.

[hne85]

2:26 SNAPE

[21stCherryGirl]

@hne85 You are so right!!

[trinigirl1978]

Neil Diamond wrote this song, then Johnny Cash sang it, then I heard Chris Isaac version and then HIM. To my opinion I love both Neil and HIM version, to each their own wonderful style.

[vassyatka]

people r always arguin about tastes. older people hang on to what they know, younger people defend what they like and know-its inevitable. its life. new teenagers come and like something new, and their parents say:"oh well, in our days"... and it doesnt mean, that old is better, and new is worse, or vice versa. it just means it is all different!:)

[AedanBlackheart]

@vassyatka finally someone gets it... :)

[lolwutnub]

I think this is mediocre in comparison to the NEIL DIAMOND version.

Johnny Cash did not write this song.

This is decent for what it is though.

[88FelineFan]

i swear his eyes are the sexiest green eyes on the face of this earth

[jRockLover333]

@88FelineFan ikr?! the part where they were focused on his face just made me melt <3

[RockinRustle]

gah, this song wasnt even originally written by johnny cash. its a neil diamond song

[lwhit7]

Lets all be honest, everyone will say Cash's version was better simply based on the fact the man was a music icon. However what HIM did here was not try to outdo Johnny, but show the versatility of Cash's lyrics. Johnny Cash inspired so many modern day artists. Personally I think this version kicks ass. Stop comparing the 2 and just realize its 2 different genres one awesome song

[contrafax]

@lwhit7 just because, we think Johny Cash's version is better does NOT down play how much we like or do not like this version. Not a big fan of this one. But they have some other songs I like



[AtomicRichie]

@lwhit7 Neil Diamond wrote this, but your point still stands. Cookie for you!

[MrThatbeastkid]

I like HIM, but this sucks compared to the Johnny Cash version

[LilacCrush1006]

:P appeals to the male audience with half naked women appeals to the female audience with half naked Ville :P I love this song this song is awesome...

[MemoryResidesInDeath]

what album is this in?

[ATCRyderX]

fuckin LOVE HIM's versions of this and Words are ver-ry un-nec-cessarrryyy

[danaATTACK]

Johnny Cash > HIM's version > Neil Diamond

[AntiFacist66]

props to HIM

[guitarriff1988]

This video is amazing.By the way how does Ville manage to stay super thin i wish i was that thin even thoe im 5'7 119lb.But i wish i was that slinder as ville.Any tips folks?

[GothVampireQueen]

@guitarriff1988 He's a vegetarian. So maybe that contributes to it.

[GothVampireQueen]

You can hear the HIM in this version. Like its sounds like something from HIM. The Love Metal stuff. Screamworks is changed but I like it. Its just that I just wonder did they sell out?

[theonescaredcat]

@GothVampireQueen Screamworks does song like something HIM would sing because just like all other songs they make they base off their fealings, if they are happy i am happy i they are not I am not. Live with the changes

[GothVampireQueen]

@theonescaredcat I love Screamworks. I mean like look back at their older stuff. Its progressed amazingly. I'm just thinking did they lose their edge or something.

[theonescaredcat]

@GothVampireQueen oh ok

[XxMrEmoTacoxX]

sorry but Johny or Neil doesn't have anything on Ville's version

[chrissonicamy]

Ville glows in the light. <3

[TheFranchesca2009]

Don't worry Ville! I won't play games behind you! <3 <3 <3

[XTaYKaYD]

DAMN!!!! Ville Valo looks really young here!!!

[tuesdayblackmon]

<3 <3 (((_\_)(_/_)(_|_))) <3 <3

Dlishousness

[nevskislake]

Does anyone kow if the girl in the video is Ville's ex Jonna? Also, what's with all this petty "emo" bashing? We have emotions people, we're not robots. And, lastly, can I find one Youtube video where there is no mention of Justin Bieber, Lady Ga Ga, or Twilight? Really folks, all three are popular; GET OVER IT!!!

[willman1661]

@nevskislake Nobody has ever mentioned those topics on my videos.

[nevskislake]

@willman1661 - Read the comments. All of this crap comes up except for Lady Ga Ga, which was just a generalization on my part to show how some Youtubers have these over-the-top obsessions over certain people or movies, in the case of Twilight, and they feel compelled to bring up their obsession whether it's relevant or not to the topic of the video. As far as wanting to know who the girl was in the video, I was just curious; I didn't mean know it would offend anyone to ask. Sorry!

[KellyLovesHailey]

The most beautiful person to ever roam the earth is Ville Valo.

[citylightslikefire]

@KellyLovesHailey

hmm i pick Linde and his sg instead

love ville

but i would take a 60 minute guitar solo anyday

[Pinkspiderable]

@KellyLovesHailey You are so right he is off the charts gorgeous, talented, and sexy!

[shanelucky13]

does the guitar player ever play anything accept the same gibson SG

[drprofjohn]

wow they all look different

[1295antonio]

ville kinda looks like ozzy

[ArmoredSombreros]

Hey, I like some slipknot, but I do like listening to some finnish metal. There nothing wrong, its this metal. At least its not rap, now thats shit.

[24Juggalo]

I hope everyone realizes HIM covered this song.

[shebop4331]

@24Juggalo NEIL!!!

[usstunnelsnorks]

Ville, you don't have to be a solitary man, you know. ;) jk

[abd12385]

I like ville cause if you marry a buff man they always end up with a pot belly but skinny men stay the same

[kathymclean1]

@abd12385 lol I dont know about that I married a skinny guy 20 something years ago and now well lets say it wouldnt hurt him to miss some meals and exercise a bit more

[abd12385]

@kathymclean1 usually... but in my mind I fuck him on every single surface in this video..

[speakeasy1113]

what the fuck is this? I thought she was ugly until he started singing! LOL this chick has no tits/talent (i know this is a dude.....now) HARDCORE IMAGE with SOFTCORE EVERYTHING ELSE

[MattVehemety642]

@speakeasy1113 Fuck you dude. H.I.M. is the shit. Go listen to some faggish slipknot or something

[Raver9696]

@MattVehemety642 faggish slipknot? r we talkin bout the same band here? dont get me wrong H.I.M. is awesome but slipknot is sure n the hell not faggish. y u bashin something thats freakin good when other stuff like rap needs it?

[MattVehemety642]

@Raver9696 The only good members of Slipknot is James and The lead singer. Everyone else is worthless. Except trash can guy. He's entertaining. And yeah. Most rap sucks. I just don't like people judging a band on one song. H.I.M. actually has hardcore music. But then again not everyone cares enough to spend all of their time searching throuh a whole catalog of songs to understand a band. And thats ok. I don't like slipknot though. Or Tool

[Raver9696]

@MattVehemety642 if u didnt like H.I.M. id say u have no taste at all. i guess i can c how u dont like them. my music influence was my brother whos ten years older then me n he likes hard hardcore. he doesnt care 4 H.I.M. n the only reason i no bout them is bcuz i was lookin at the vampire lestat music.

[MattVehemety642]

@Raver9696 Taste is in the eye of the beholder. I can listen to them. Maybe a few songs are ok. But as far as "hardcore" goes I listen to Children Of Bodom, Moonspell, Motionless In White, Megadeth, and well the list goes on. I'm big on listening to all types of music, being a musician myself it helps. The reason I don't like them is because they're argument for being "hardcore" is that they use very dropped tunings and chug constantly. they use the fact that they purposefully play what is

[MattVehemety642]

@MattVehemety642 in all honesty, noise. It's just rebellion. I guess I can respect that in a sense. Only when James Root steps in do they present musical taste guitar wise. (and yes I know Joey is a great drummer but I think his parts sound too full. Like it's too much. You can be "hardcore" and still show that you can be catchy. Bodom songs get me because they are really catchy but painstakingly heavy. They present their talent. They show that they can be as heavy as possible and be beautiful

[MattVehemety642]

@MattVehemety642 also I know I said "they're" instead of "their" my bad lol

[Raver9696]

@MattVehemety642 motionless in white and megadeth i do admire. ill have 2 check out children of bodom and moonspell because they do have a sort of pull 2 their names.

[MattVehemety642]

@speakeasy1113 Actually, let me educate you. Go listen to Stigmata Diaboli or Venus Doom by H.I.M. if you still think this band isn't "heavy" then whatever. "Heavy" doesn't really mean anything anyway.

[goldpolo1]

well ville makes me feel better about my bird chest!!lol i guess skinnys not a bad thing after all

[AcidBotdfJunkie]

One word...: Sexy...XD

[jk4jb]

ay! bam's ex jen...aww that bitch... how i hated her... bam and now ville... ay uhm bitch? wanna die?

[vgsjim777]

ville looks stoned

[200freeswimmer]

awesome song :D

[guitmanlp]

fucking great this is one killer band...taking a neal diamond song and refreshing it...kickass

[ScubaSteve5k]

This is the absolute BEST cover of "Solitary Man". Linde shreds on that guitar solo!!!

[Tessashae1]

His lips bother me in this video :/

[TheKelseyshae]

ville has a nice butt(;

[Dro351x]

I didn't know this was a Johnny Cash song..

[nickyidol]

@Dro351x I think Neil Diamond did it first.  I could be wrong.

[Jillian829]

@nickyidol Yeah - It was originally a Neil Diamond song. Neil Diamond wrote the song. Johnny Cash did a cover of it. :)

[Magirk38]

Awesome video and sexy as hell.

[PoisonGirlValoHIM]

I just want to know 1 thing... What girl would be dumb enough to play games with Ville???? He is PERFECTION!

[JacobBlackisCandy2me]

This song gets easily stuck in my head. If I didn't love H.I.M. like I do, I'd probably go crazy because I get everyone of their songs stuck in my head. Which is a good thing. ][-][ ][ ][\/][ <3

[svperstar80]

Debe de tener un gran chilote el Ville.

[CrystalMarieTries]

0:28 Is that Jenn from Viva La Bam? I almost fell out of my seat seeing that!

[LiveLoveBurnDie28]

@CrystalMarieTries yeah Bam directed this video and he threw a lot of his own video clips in

[CrystalMarieTries]

@LiveLoveBurnDie28 How cool! :D Did he direct any others?

[PHDxNC]

While this is a great song. and this version is good as well. I don't understand why they made a video for a song that isn't theirs.

[JacobBlackisCandy2me]

@PHDxNC well ya might as well say that for Wicked Game too. Who gives a crap if they made a video for a song that isn't theirs? They did because they wanted to. There's your answer.

[ladydancer20]

ville valo...what else is there to say lol

[purpleblue808]

ville has the most beautiful body ever and linde's dreads are fucking sweet! 

[smadden666]

Ain't love grand.

[flaresideg]

NEVERKNEWTHEREWASAVIDEOFORTHIS­WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[13tinyfaes]

this is a great song, i like this cover better than the original. i love how thin ville is in this video

[marylandmassacarebam]

the video was directed by bam margera

[MrPriestess42328043]

For once, a remake better than the original... leave it to HIM to accomplish that *:)

[digyourowngrave666]

How come this has only 360k views and that Justin Beiber faggot has 300 million views? What the fuck is wrong with people?

[Nhia89]

@digyourowngrave666 shut up with justin beiber

[digyourowngrave666]

@Nhia89 I'm just stating a fact. Fuck...

[Nhia89]

@digyourowngrave666 dang my bad your pretty cute actually i love your blue hair

[digyourowngrave666]

@Nhia89 lol it's all good and thanks. I've been in a bad mood so I'm all GRRR at everything. Sorry about my potty mouth.

[Nhia89]

@digyourowngrave666 no no its kool its alright u can take your anger out on me if u like if it'll make you feel better whats bothering you anyway beautiful?

[flaresideg]

@digyourowngrave666 Nhia89 is a solitaire man. And Bieber got half them views cuz people are curious who he is and why hes brought up on all the youtube convos

[thesadistgod]

@flaresideg He's like the boogeyman, if you stop talking about him, if you stop believing he's real, he'll disappear =P

[CrystalMarieTries]

@thesadistgod I'll never stop talking about him. I'll never stop believing (= <3

[starrbite1]

@digyourowngrave666 no taste...

[HIMlover91]

@digyourowngrave666 people just don't know what real music and real lyrics. We now live in a world where a kid "never says never" and he's forever more glorified and having bands that make ART through music barely go unnoticed. Well fuck it, HIM is #1 on my book.

[SatanasAngel]

@digyourowngrave666 the video came out years before it was uploaded, that's why there's a lack of views. and HIM is "underground" not really mainstream... so yeah that explains the view count, they deserve more.

[GothVampireQueen]

@SatanasAngel True that. But it could also be the whole Vevo veiw count thing also.

[theonescaredcat]

@digyourowngrave666 Because the 300 million view he has is from people who go there to put him down

[greenskuall44]

@digyourowngrave666 thats because most of the peaple that know about him already have their albums.....

[greenskuall44]

@digyourowngrave666 thats because most of the peaple that know about him already have their albums.....

[theleoandsatanfan]

@digyourowngrave666 One im tired of you calling her a faggot shes a lesbian, Two. because all the views are from people coming to make fun of her, and three Im responsable for half these views and my whole class I showed this video to

[Ms42069666]

In this video his face reminds me of ozzy osbourne and the body like iggy pop......but probably no one agress? but who cares : )
