HIM - POISON HEART

[DJViking115]

Gods, I wish the singer would really milk his lower register for the chorus. T'would be much better, methinks.

[yourdeadfacex]

OMG DONT HAVE THIS ON IPOD WTF.

-shocked forever-

[BigRedTower]

Ramones storytelling meets HIM's low fuzz. Awesome!

[TiagoPeixeiroPedro]

Fogo estas versões melhores q os originais são F*****

[45AJG]

H.I.M FUCKING RULLLLLLLEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!­!

[raysmommy123]

@45AJG their the greatest band ever^^

[Angela1996Elle]

noooooooooooooooooo villeeeeeeeeeee ç ç come hai potuto copiarla?????? ke delusione ç ç...

[aijivl]

fuck this gay shit

[SuperCloud93]

Coldplay got nothing on HIM

[TheWhatwhat676]

I want to listen to something 1,000 times more hardcore than this, something like Coldplay.

[0darkTunes]

@TheWhatwhat676 lol

[necroscope101]

@TheWhatwhat676

seriously?

[DodoMustanG]

@TheWhatwhat676 Coldplay is hardcore?? FUCK SHIT UP! This song is from The Ramones!

[KAWIIDEPP]

eeeh i love this song i one one the first ones i heard from them n since thn have been a H.I.M. fan i have cried lagh n done alot of things with this song xD

[sinbysin666]

A bit too overproduced. Synthetic emotion. If you listen to the original, Joey's voice is so real, and so fragile, nearly makes you cry.

[4Nooby]

@sinbysin666 Yeah, his voice makes me cry really, feel so sorry for him....

[0darkTunes]

In my opinion this is much better than the original.

[DiannaRibeiiro]

Love the original, but this... Ehhh... Nice try anyway.

[irishpunkkyle]

good ramones cover. i love the ramones but this is a good cover.

[splatterhouse138]

What the f*ck?...I own this cd! This is NOT on the cd! Is there a version I'm missing?

[Faih96]

@splatterhouse138 this is actually from the "Wings of a Butterfly" single, not from Dark Light :)

[CreamLightPudin]

@splatterhouse138 It was a Japanese track. i was pissed

[JiFom]

@splatterhouse138 It's an extra-track on the Wings of a butterfly single. 

[necroscope101]

@JiFom

actually its on the japenese version.

[JiFom]

@necroscope101 Yeah, but I bought the "wings of a butterfly" single in Sweden and Posion heart was on it too. :)

[ginaraubal]

the digital version there it is @splatterhouse138

[necroscope101]

@splatterhouse138

its a bonus track. i think this one was only on the japenese version. my version only has vampire heart to nightside of eden so i feel your pain.

[AvAsoldier101]

ramones are shit. HIM not

[degebaldevuist]

Love the Ramones version,

Love the HIM version,

Love the song.

It's a tribute and it's great.

Also if this is true, it's even better:

"i read in a rock magazine (probably metal hammer or british kerrang) that ville befriended a young guy in a bar while they were recording in america, and when the poor kid eventually killed himself, ville decided to start playing poison heart live because the boy was a big ramones fan. dont know how much of that is true, though.

" - songmeanings

[TheCityBreeze]

@degebaldevuist That sounds like something Ville would do. If it is true, it's very sweet.

[fallen0from0grace]

Happy birthday Ville! Love ya!

[AnnnabelLee]

They have done better covers than this, but i like it, It is what it is, a cover. Don´t try to be better than the original, only is a tribute to the original band, doing it in their style. Really like it!

[xYum1x]

Stop hating every single band that covers the Ramones! I'm just as a big Ramones fan as you guys are and I also prefer the originals but come on, these bands that covers them does it to show that the Ramones influenced them in one way or another! It's pure respect! Shouldn't you respect them as well for that matter?! There's a whole lot worse covers than this one people... You gotta be more open minded. I actually think that the Ramones would appreciate this.

[djrogerspy]

This cover is a shit

[xiantelurio]

i like HIm but this cover is shit

[RNRLL]

the name of the album this song is at is "wings of butterfly"?????? my god!!! show some respect you fucking emos!!! this is a masterpiece of punk rock and you turned it into a tea party, assholes.

[RNRLL]

Here's my point, if you are covering Joey Ramone's voice, try not to sound like a fucking pussy. Even Blondie sings it with more balls...

[MissLaurelindorenan]

@MaxxJayy:

are you kidding? every song is perfect and I have to admit that I kinda dislike wicked game because it is a cover. him wouldn't so successful if they where just a cover band. of course, the songs written by ville are different from the covers and you don't have to like them as much as the covers but just keep thinking about saying sth like this...

[finskametal]

where can I get this song?

[JoshuaMr007]

My butthole is poisoned by the very penis that penetrates the rotted hole that dwells between my cheeks. My asshole to be exact

[JadedSketches]

Funny part about everyone criticizing this song in particular, is I believe is a Ramones cover. Ville Valo never wrote this song.

[dismemberedANDmolese]

@JadedSketches u the man ya this is the RAMONES and him is just an awesome bad that re did it in a diff way and yes liste to the lyrics its not a happy song ihope they do they texas chainsaw massacre took my babay away

[MaxxJayy]

You are all aware that this is a Ramones song right? I love This Version, Ville's Voice suits it better than joey Ramone, I think H.I.M do covers better than they do their own songs, Wicked Game, Solitary Man, this one......... they should just be a cover band.

[Shorty61309]

Lets get the likes at 666 instead of 600.

[Pelonnumba1]

people who dislike any HIM songs, are retards that cant open their ears and listen to the true beauty of the songs!

[fpbarb]

I have the Dark Light cd ,but I didn't find this song on it....:-(

[lovemetal1016]

@fpbarb It's On Wings Of A Butterfly CD Single =D

[sweetestormentx]

FUCKING LOVE

[kkrazyish]

love this song

[TheMETALBOLIC]

@fallen0from0grace ya pretty much

[Thunder6957]

I LOVE this song ! Never felt like I belong here, because of all the cruelty , never understood why it exists ! There is no need for it ! All it does is destroy !

[JeremyGladden]

is this a hidden song or something? sweet!

[abd12385]

@JeremyGladden It was on one of there cd's (dark light i think..) but only on the japanese release.

[MaxRamoneSRB]

Ramones version is better. This is a very good cover. So shut the fuck up. Ramones are punk. Him are doom/goth metal. They are very different. But song is fucking amazing. Long live punk/meal!

[Gresaaa]

@MaxRamoneSRB ditto!

[Shorty61309]

31 Idiots

[gilllie666]

awesome version, fuck yer ramones!

[bonjovigirl2011]

This song got me throught an ugly point in my pass when i was beaten to death by my roommates land lord's wife and girlfriend. Also that when i decover HIM music from my boyfriend in iowa at the time. Bad thing i had an head injuty who my ex roommate was helping withbefore he screwed me out of a home.

[tokikokoable]

[humanxfurnace]

HIM stomped the Ramones version.

[HirakuAnimeLover]

[TheRealSk8rGurl]

29 people havent got a life =]

[v4mpir3h34rt1]

HIM always makes the songs sound really good :)

[llstarlight]

[Ilqunstreitter]

I find original versions almost always better.

[emosuxxx666]

i like the ramones version better

[RyoHayashi100]

i love this cover the ramones are awesome and hearing HIM do a cover of this song is great but i cant find somehwere to download it even itunes dosent have this version only the ramones one

[derobin]

@RyoHayashi100 listentoyoutube(.)com problem solved ;)

[sigliumdiaboli]

i just wanna walk right out of this world cuz everyone has a poison heart

[biangelboy21]

HIM mainstream?!?!?!?!?! fuck off lol they are so not!!

[theleoandsatanfan]

@biangelboy21 you got that right man

[DusanDixMaricki]

Awsome Ramones cover ^^

[sinbysin666]

His inhales annoy me!!!

[magdaleena90]

@sinbysin666 It's his style!

[sinbysin666]

@magdaleena90 Doesn't make it less annoying..

[magdaleena90]

@sinbysin666 -.-

[sinbysin666]

@magdaleena90 So, what you doing later?

[magdaleena90]

@sinbysin666 Probably listen to HIM...;)

[RenegadeSorrowCBP]

@magdaleena90 It's because HIM are amazing, isn't it.

[magdaleena90]

@RenegadeSorrowCBP Of course. I hope you are not being ironic...

[RenegadeSorrowCBP]

@magdaleena90 Nope. I'm stating that HIM are amazing. If I was being ironic I would have said something a little more interesting than that. ;)

[magdaleena90]

@RenegadeSorrowCBP Oh, ok... ;)

[biangelboy21]

@sinbysin666

dont listen to them then problem solved

[MORTVIVANT13]

GREAT COVER...RAMONES 'TILL DEATH

[Night94Wolf]

the intro is pretty cool but the vocals....x_x, ramones 4ever!

[nnewmy]

someone tell me which songs i should put on a CD of the very best of HIM for my car

i cant pick XD

[Alexandre4429]

só essa musica dessa banda q é massa msm!

[kiwikeee]

beautiful song. HIM is my passion. :) \m/

[popwarforlife5]

Everybody hating on HIM needs to stop and think, they did this cover to honor The Ramones, quit hating on it and realize that they loved The Ramones just as much as you.

[vanessagiannotti]

you know that life really takes its toll and a poet's gut reaction is to search is very soul so much damn confusion before my eyes but nothing seems to phase me and this one still survive well i just want to walk right out of this world cause everybody has a poison heart poison heart

[Tabiiri]

i dont like him but this cover is very good!

[RickThorne1]

HIM is a band for BITCHES AND FAGGETS!! LONG LIVE RAMONES!!!

[MarrieVable]

@RickThorne1 Well that was rude...what if someone said something like that about the Ramones? Wouldn't feel so nice then, now would it?

[GunsNRoses606]

@RickThorne1 Your point is no longer valid because you used the word "fagget".

[lerchfreyley1]

This is a blasphemy to the RAMONES

[hukkunut]

I hate the people whining that HIM makes this song sound so angst... Isn't that the point? HIM's style is influenced by Goth and Doom... What part of that is jolly or happy?

[lerchfreyley1]

@hukkunut no..they didn't make anything sound angst, they made it sound wussed up. The original song was not JOLLY, but it had more heart than this PLASTIC remake

[blackopsxblackout]

@hukkunut they cant get that man they are so far lost in mainstream music its sad

[hukkunut]

@blackopsxblackout

So what if HIM sounds a little "Mainstream"? I don't get it. I find it pathetic to say that "Eww, that's mainstream. I can't listen to that!" I listen to whatever I find good enough and to me HIM is far lost in good music.

[blackopsxblackout]

@hukkunut you misunderstand me.... i mean they cant appreciate music for what it is. there are people who listen to music they dont like because they think it more of an enhancer which makes them look better to other people. its a fashion statement to them

[klutz94306]

@hukkunut That's one of the many reasons why I listen to this band cause they don't sound mainstream. These guy's are the only modern type music I'll listen to.

[captainortega]

@hukkunut Your favourite list has like 4-5 bands in it,killswitch engage,him,warrant,whitesnake and paramore. Get REALLY involved with music before you start characterising sounds as ''good'' or ''bad'' music.... Seriously...

This may not be utterly correct since i dont know you,but i judge from what i know of you,as little as it is.

[LilKISSman]

@hukkunut two top comments bro. Your my hero.

[hukkunut]

@LilKISSman

I'm just a diehard HIM freak. :D

[Ferlief]

@hukkunut And the lyric of the song is sad, Ramones made that way, then people don't have the right to whining about that of HIM.

[llstarlight]

Two assurances-if Ville covers it- he feels it has something to say and he does a good cover

[glenncontrolhate]

this a hidden track or a bonus from iTunes ?

[demonvictoria]

my heart is poisoned....so is my tongue & my lips

[JenniferSakurazuka]

are you sure this is from Dark Light....? i can't find it on the CD

[ka0spUnK]

ta weno tii

[MikesMusicNComedy]

not as good as the ramones but still enjoyable

[Monasster]

][=][ ][ ][V][ Forever

[AnnnabelLee]

This is not a competition Him Vs Ramones. Every time and every style is different. Perhaps you must think about a tribute, not a cover ( I do, I preffer The Ramones , but this is pretty good)

[mikalioneye]

taka lajtowa wersja Ramones xD akurat pod klimaty "Dark Light", ale ciekawa byłabym jakby to brzmiało, gdyby Ville i chłopaki zrobili to w wersji ciężkiej:))

[GreendayversusU2]

This is pretty good. The Ramones version kicks HIM's ass though. RAMONES!

[MaxPayneIzRudog]

This is shit, Ramones did it better.

[juan13579run]

@MaxPayneIzRudog you re right friend....nothin compare with the original

[c197373]

ffffffttttttttttttttt



[madmanlll]

the ramones live on... in a band whos music has gotten me through a lot of hurt. HIM is responsible for some of the greatest musical achievements ive ever heard

[adictedtofantasy]

shitness XD

[JackPudding666]

This rare track is much more catchy than the song Dark Light, actually.

[KatrinValo398]

just divine

[Ballad2Grave]

Awesome cover from awesome band, 10/10 from me.

[MoonShadowWolfe]

NEVER go to a video of the Ramones version and say you like this better. They will SLAUGHTER you.

But they are wrong.

[iamzmagic]

The Ramones is better, but this is alright.

[MsImpala1967]

Sh@ts on the Ramones version. <3 HIM

[brosqee]

WHY THE HELL WAS THIS SONG AND VENUS (IN OUR BLOOD) NOT ON THE REAL CD? ID TRADE IN THE NIGHTSIDE OF EDEN....AMONG OTHERS FOR BOTH OF THESE SONGS....sorry for caps ppls...just very oinionated<3 him forlife

[sebamop]

@brosqee Venus in our blood and The Cage are in the limited edition Dark Light (with a hardcover book) and Poison Heart is in the limited edition Vinyl

[foreverloveless27]

And i just wanna walk right out of this world, cause everybody has a poison heart!!!

[coffeetogo83]

HIM FOREVER

I love Ville sooo much he is the sexiest men alive :-))))

[craigbondtube]

i prefer this version, XD

[WildnessNerveLight]

OMFG!!! I <3 Ville So Much, I love how He breathes between lines, its amazing :D

[duratbey]

I am not against covers, especially when they're well done as HIM's :) Ramones have marked the time of my growing up, and this is just an excellent confirmation of how good music was in the 80's :)))

[xYum1x]

Good, but I prefer the original by Ramones

[DeeSuckers]

@xYum1x

dito!!!

[justing86]

-][=][--][--][\/][-- <3

[LizLoveandDeath]

Just because you think the Ramones version is better, doesn't mean that HIM's version lacks any artistic or musical qualities and talents. It's all an opinion thing and which ever version you think is better is based on your own tastes. Don't trash someone else's opinion simply because it is different from your own.

[klaark1]

Not bad, but I think I prefer the Ramones version.

[jonomar]

I am a HIM fan but Ramones are much better I dont like Ville's breathing sounds in between words here

[ifislm]

@jonomar

ville's breathing allways sound setween the words, lol....

bless him

[AcialProduction]

How come i've never heard this song ? :OOOOO

[KillingLonliness88]

@AcialProduction It was on the Wings Of a Butterfly single. I don't think US got it, at least not that I know of.

[TestDrive231]

lacks the rawness of the original... im not digging this "modern" pop sound at all... not to mention the fact that this is sung by some lame pretentious model guy, playing rockstar for his little girls.

Joey sung this for survival. Joey is the truth...

this is like the "poison heart" for underage kiddies...

[KillingLonliness88]

@TestDrive231 Wow, you're pathetic. And Ville Valo is an amazingly talented man. Artist, song writer, poet, producer, and sometimes quite an actor. He has stage presence and an amazing voice which he can hit many variety of notes with. You're just fucking jealous because you'll never be as amazing as he is, which he doesn't even have to try to do. It's just him. Grow up and get a life. :) And no, I'm not a fan girl. I love the whole band, and am a fan of all of them. They are amazing people.

[Polloapuarenas]

sorry but RAMONES are the best band that ever existed!!! yeah this is good xD..... but the original have no comparation!!!

RAMONES NEVER DIE!!

HEY HO LETS GO!!

[666hellraiser1]

ramones one is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, better.! ! !!!

[pillarockaHIM]

what they really need to do is record their version of Rebel Yell and put it on a fuckin CD lol that would be the shit

[pillarockaHIM]

yes its better than the ramones

[SteveM08attLA18]

are you kiddin??????????? this is better than ramones??? hahahah LOL

[vampix91]

rock = screaming??

???? xD

[Cutiepi1994]

I usually don't like rock..but this band is gud..at least there's no screaming:)

[vampix91]

goth? emo? whatever...

dont talk so much about the styl.. just listen. be happy. :)

[pillarockaHIM]

honestly ville hates the name HIM, lol he came up with it while hammered at a party, he also didn't like the fact that they are considered a gothic band, in an interview he stated the one of the reasons behind screamworks is to show a lighter hard rock side and get away from the dark side.

[Starchild132]

@pillarockaHIM well he shouldnt have named the band His Infernal Majesty and had an album called vol.666 and make a logo with a pentagram

[pillarockaHIM]

@Starchild132 ok yes i agree with you on that, but it was a joke, its stated in the HIM and love said no book. but with the pentagram, doesn't exactly mean satin worshipers, motley crue used the pentagram and do you see any relation there? its a symbol for rock as well, so with the heartagram it made love metal, i'm not trying to snub at you or anything but i'm just giving from what i know. we all like HIM and thats all that should matter

[Starchild132]

@pillarockaHIM true and same with me alls im saying is the pentagram was a sign for magic and witches and shit of that nature before anything so the first thing people are gonna think when they see it is satanist no matter how a band has warped to somethng badass and i dont thnk like this of course but look at other bands that have/has used it Slayer, Possesed, pretty much every black metal band etc

[pillarockaHIM]

@Starchild132 ok were even this is dumb to fight about lol,

[johnybladex]

FUCK ''HIM''... FAGETS''...

RAMONES FOREVER!

[jn33403]

@johnybladex........... oh fuck off  you didnt even spell faggots right lol ,you suck.

[johnybladex]

@jn33403 Yes, I noticed that after I wrote it. hahahaha

SONG IS FOR LADIES :))))

[kubo0666]

I can´t stop listening this ... It´s just amazing a I heard it about 50 times since yesterday ..

[Noksvalo]

This version is better than the original because Ville can sing

[ADTNMusic]

@Noksvalo I like this version but really..The Ramones version is alot better because its not a cover its from the heart of the band and if you think Joey Ramone can't sing then you must know that is just not true at all anyway whichever one you prefer is none of business but I have reply to this because no one insults Joey Ramone

[Noksvalo]

@ADTNMusic ok it wast my intention to insult Joey, im sorry, but i think that Ville is a much better singer, I really like this version, but i do like the original, and what you said its also true.

[ADTNMusic]

@Noksvalo ah well i think Joey is much better so to each his own haha
