H.I.M. - Killing Lonliness - TOTP UK

[Heartagram1973]

WOW an actually live Top of the pops lol...miracle!

[ale10593]

He looks kind of tired in here. What was wrong with his now ex-girlfriend?. I think she only wanted to spend time, hanging around and left him suffering. Anyway, i've seen some recent interviews and he looks old, i have to admit but in the good sense.

All clean and with better and fresh persepctives when it comes to music, life, etc. Hope he continues making great music and surprises us with new styles ;)

[CodyBear6]

Still Sing's Better Then me Any day

I Will Always Be A Valo fan No matter what

[Daytonl1995]

enough voice cracks?

[SonicFan2k90]

109 women were at this live and whore sexy shoes. 4 didn't

[ivanchica21]

wow his voice is really fucked up here. that was a really bad year for him, he could go only two ways from there.. up, or dooown.. I'm so glad he sobered up and chose the right path, and now the man doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, and sounds a whole lot better! Although, (I may sound like a bitch now), I kinda miss his drunk performances ^^. I mean I wish him well and all, but I miss his old craziness. But I can always watch some old videos, what's important is he's OK now :)))

[specialness16]

he looks beautiful here! :)

[SuperValo666]

love the band for about 7 years now. its great!!

[ladolcevitaxox]

he looks like he's having a ball LOLZ im so happy he stopped drinking hes a better singer :)

[shslltht1]

why is it they lip sanc for wings of a butterfly before?

[JukkaLover]

Linde broke his wrist?????

[bendinggreenvans]

I thought Dark Light was a fegging greeat album, and I've been listening to them since Razorblade Romance, Dark Light is my favourite album of theirs, I just don't get why people don't like it, nightside of eden was a bloody masterpiece! x

[rokincow06]

His voice is great now!

In the dark light era he was struggling, and most hardcore fans would agree that it wasnt there best album, every band has the over edited pop album and even valo himself has said that was the melodic pop album! lol

Venus doom is heavier, music reflects a persons feelings at emotions at that time, and HIM's "best" stuff was 10 years ago, music changes because people change so stick with them!

i cant remember what im commenting on XD

Anyway i love and adore HIM! lol xox

[bendinggreenvans]

dudes! ville wasn't as good on razorblade romance than he was on love metal and dark light, he's definetly singing better now, if only he didn't smoke, he could be fegging great, have you heard the vocal bit in 'bleed well' (studio version)? That's really good, technically. sounds like cornell

[playdead616]

dark light was the worst. he was in his worst stage of alcoholism and didnt put much effort in. he fucked up alot. and dark light was mixed in LA too, and it was overproduced to make it sound perfect. on venus doom he sings great tho

[Magorockero]

you're rigth dude!!

ville said it too

caused this performance sucks

just hear is voice its very fucked

and look at digital versatile doom

he recovered again :D

[1poison7Girl6]

he sings worse and worse every year!

[remrule]

ville sounds amazing live now since hes quit the drink,he has such an incredible voice .plus his voice has neva been particarly bad its just where he has been drunk sometimes.

[1poison7Girl6]

listen to "it's all tears live in studio" and let me know if you thing that his voice is the same since 1998..

[remrule]

well know his voice prob aint the same as it was back then but that was ten years ago plus know1s voice is guna stay exactaly the same .and come on i think he has done extremaly well considering all the drink and his smoking .i think that he sounds great and better than ever and i bet there are a lot of people who would back me up on this.

[1poison7Girl6]

you'd better learn how to speak english...

[1poison7Girl6]

listen to "it's all tears live in studio" and let me know if you thing that his voice is the same since 1998..

[PatWolf1988]

Then listen to recent live stuff of HIM, and tell me if it can even be compared to this performance.

He was having trouble with his fiance at the time of this video, he was drinking way too much, and I think he worried about other things then singing pitch perfectly. He just quitted the bottle last year, he needs time to recover fully, but, come on, listen to Hultsfred, Download, RAR... he is a vocal god again!

[specialness16]

@PatWolf1988 I love his voice here, I actually like voices that are a little messed up, I think that's rock 'n' roll really :)

[specialness16]

@PatWolf1988 I love his voice here - I like a bit of a messed up soudning voice, it's so rock n roll and cool here :)

[Magorockero]

all the performances in overdrive rocks

but it was 11 years ago!

we can't compare him to that years!

he become old and his voice change

ville can't stay young forever!! u.u

what a shame xD

[bendinggreenvans]

I think he sounds better now tbh overdrive was a long time ago and he actually had some flaws in his singing technique, now he sounds as if he's had some training...

[UnknownPowers]

whats up with his singing? ? ? hes all quiet as like he dont wanna sing!

[playdead616]

hes probably wasted here

[PelataValo]

AW!

love his likkel smile!

I fell apart when I saw this

HIM have never been on UK top of the pops

[vamrocks]

thank god that it isn't to playback. rock on live performances

[bain2k6]

why does mige always look like a hobo ?? anyone ??

[rendezvouswithanus]

Ha ha, if you read the autobiography, it says he's a 'bass titan and hygiene hazard'. How I laughed.........

[smithsweeney]

lmao linde breaking his wrist befor top of the pops

[sandra230479]

"ohhh I'm Killing Loneliness!!!!!" I LOVE THIS SONG!!! VERY VERY NICE!!!

[Erikkaa]

It was horribla! Whats happened with Ville?

[bennyboy123456789]

ive seem H.I.M 3 times live and everytime has been fuckin awsome he can sing amazingly and he can make girls faint GOD !!!!

[Hidden2006]

I think Ville was drunk in this performance.. Still the song is awesome and he sings okay, but he's not at his usual best. No offence here, because I've been a fan of HIM for 7/8 years.

[AzrielUndead]

He's not a terrible singer, he had a rough time during dark light. Any other live recording, like Rock AM Ring and such sound great.

[dvddq]

singer sucks

[Micoooooovalo]

you can go fuck your self. . .when ville sing live then . .he kinda have 2 scream a little bit so that's why it doesn't sound GREAT. . .he have sang a lot beter live but this timme ,maybe he was tired or whatever. . .all i know is that when he sings 2 a little croud you can really hear his beautiful voice

[arwenarwen]

tapiyorum sana ville .

[luminainen00]

I knew Ville can't sing, but didn't think it could be sooo bad...he gets worse actually, it used to be A BIT better in the past...take the shame, Ville :)))

[Micoooooovalo]

go fuck yourself

[HereticAndDivine]

Someone said Ville Valo can't sing...

That's a first!

And I strongly disagree. He really can sing!

I've seen a few videos of their latest gigs and his voice is amazing. Pleople who were there were talking about how great he sounded.

[AkiraDeMuse]

it´s like yaruscka said. but this performance

actually is one of this best. i guess they looked

forward to it a while and rested or he was lucky.

anyway. i like him as well :) on tape.

[Yaruschka]

Ville has quite nice and pleasant voice on CDs, but I heard him live several times, and I must say that he can´t sing. I think that he doesn´t hear himself when singing and that´s his problem. Nevertheless he´s very charismatic person and I like HIM, but only on CDs. Juha Pekka from Charon is much better singer and he has beautiful voice.

[bellaladonna]

Something has to be the amtter with Ville voice? He is straining on high notes. This is my first live performance I have seen, so I do not know if he normally sings live like that. But he sounds so nice in his videos. Kind of a disappointment.

[xxsam666]

he does high notes

[Micoooooovalo]

Shut up. . .he sings great live , even greater to a little croud , now he has to scream so you can't hear his beautiful notes and voice

[god3atgod]

this is so gay lol. never realised they played totp uk.....and to a load of jumping clapping kids. Looks over weird n shitty t me

[devilindisguise3]

I was so upset when I saw this! He's singing live, but he's so uncomfortable! I really don't know why they agreed to do it. The rest of the band aren't playing live, and you can tell they don't like it. Just... Ville especially. No beer, no cigarette, not his audience... It's just cringy, as brilliant as HIM are and that song is.

Ville doesn't look too healthy here, either. I'm glad he does now :-)

[himevanescencesilver]

they are playing live.. some parts you can here it's different from the cd so.. but they don't like it, that's true

[xxsam666]

BECAUSE ... he preforming to a bunch of little kids..and HIM is not pop.. thats what pisses me off!

[meluvhim]

HES PISSED!!!!!!!!!!

[33erick33]

no me gusto como sono

estas ultimas canciones estan bien poperas

[bammargerarocks]

to me ville sounds like ville this is live so its not gonna sound like the cd ville does different techniques with his voice that why he sounds different or maybe its cause he dnt have a ciggarette and beer.

[xxsam666]

he prob. didnt hav a cig and a beer cuz hes preforming to a bunch a kids

[AlexFruen]

He sound like mr burns in this performance...

[DarthValo2000]

finaly!!!! HIM not having to dub on Top of the Pops, and I agree, Ville is not his self, he must've been sick.

[LjungbergArsenal]

It's like seeing them live all over again!

[h1m616]

that was amazing in glad u put it on because i was seening the live the day it was on!!! xoxoxoxoo

[littleXmissXvalo]

Me too lol =]

[DarknessLordRaven]

Awesome! Killing Lonliness is mah favorite HIM song!

[aza0]

Oh my gosh the day after that i met them in newcatle *HMV* gosh that was fuckin brill!

[rifl]

ville looked pale and sick

he didnt sound too well either :-/

[xalexis013x]

does he not seem pale alot of the times?But i do agree that he didnt sound like his lovely self in this song at 1:20,his voice seemed to crack

[avicutez]

Lovely performance, thanks for the upload otherwise I wouldn't see it. Ville has a foot fetish? Haha. Glad to see his hair is back to normal again.

[creepwer]

[luthien666]

Damn my luck for not living in the UK ¬¬

[FallenVampire]

SMILE! *Melts* Aww. SO CUTE. *Claps along like a little child* That clapping was just . so random :] \m/

[tollilai]

Yay thanks for sharing this with the people who don't live in England and would have missed on the hotness that is Ville otherwise... :)

[rainbowinthedark]

Wow! They actually got to sing live instead of having to pretend. Ville looked hot as usual. HIM rock!

[xalexis013x]

they usually sing by themselves,i have seen other videos like this that ville sounds normal and not a recorded robot =]p
