Solitary Man - HIM

[xiLucifer]

best band ever like UMMM obviously.

[dubsdigi]

i always hated this band and i never listened to it

BUT now that ive listened to them...

i now know this is the shittiest band that ive ever listened to

i would rather listen to some old, japanese fucks singing karaoke

no talent, you retards who say they love the lyrics should be better informed because these arent their lyrics

[nofear1909]

@dubsdigi find somethin better to do

[sammiepoof15]

This has been my favourite band for quite some time, and their music never gets old. I love Ville's voice. They will probably always be my all time favourite band.

[KyleeMay01]

This band takes my breath away. Ville takes it more away O_o Just listening to his voice awhhh my god just wow. Ville is perfect in his own body. I bet he is goregouse from top all the way to the bottom :P Yea....

[yourcircleoffear]

HIM is the greatest band on earth.

[rdiggie]

no pun intended..

[BearAssassin]

Who is the girl in this vide? Does anybody know?

[deadlymist666]

good video him, is great, the song too!

[Brianna32571]

I really like some of their songs. But he's too damn skinny for me. LOL But the boy has a set of pipes on him. (no pun intended)

[ogropt]

Someday you'll realize that there is no such thing as "the best band!" the only thing that exist is your opinion, but thats just gonna happen when you get old enough to have a bigger knowledge database that will allow you to see things from a different perspective...

just dont disrespect anything by taking your point of view as truth...

who cares?

how in hell this artificial skinny crap is the best band?

This is a truck load of shit!

[hispoisongirl36]

Perhaps when people say The Best Band! they are only expressing their opinion of what the best band is to them? To some of us HIM IS the BEST band. People can agree or not. When you grow up youll realize saying "thisis a truckload of shit" is only opinion as well. Im sure you listen to shitty music as well. Taste in music ranges. So fucking what?

[SheenaAlexis]

HIM is the best fucking band!!!

and im sorry if this doesnt sound classy lol but i seriously wanna fuck ville every god damn day for the rest of my days haha and i bet im not alone here eh girls?

he is just so damn sexy * sighs :)

[synystergatesonfire1]

I've been into HIM for a while, back to 2003...I'm 18 now...In my opinion I think they only get better, harder and the lyrics are like, I don't know something like deeper, cleaner...it penetrates deeper into the soul and actually makes you live them in the way Ville sees the world and feels those lyrics. I don't know, maybe its just me, I always try to see things beyond their superficial meanings, but there's more in Ville than just a pretty face and great talent.

[XjimmyXdarknessX]

man this song is great, HIM is great, but i love how when HIM started (before they had albums and CDs) they were pure doom metal, and now there like this its like

jese

how the hell'd they do taht?

[fallonvalo]

It's annoying how everyone claims to love bands before they became known. How exactly do you know that you loved them if they didn't have albums or c.ds to listen to?

[GroundZ28ero]

i wouldnt even call gnarkill a band

[DoIGetTube]

His Infernal Majesty interpreted this as part grunge, part heavy metal--and all too laid-back. It was very like that British guy, in the version of "The Jazz Singer" in which Neil Diamond appeared as jess Robin, who thought "Love On The Rocks," which is supposed to be a ballad, was too slow.

NOBODY seems to be able to interpret "Solitary Man" in a fast-enough tempo for my liking, and even the various karaoke versions of it STILL don't permit that either!

[infamousshadow92]

LOLOL

i 2nd that xD

[scratch17]

such a pretty boy. I'm not gay but I'd do HIM

[grimofhell]

too bad he has a gf :S. im really not gay but it's the weirdest thing it's just for ville valo (another wtf moment)

[hispoisongirl36]

he doesnt have a gf at the moment, go figure.

whoever it'll be one day is a lucky lady though. :1

[abergethirty]

It's legal to do any song you want as long as you pay the song writers royalties. Trust me, Neal Diamond wants everyone to cover this song and make it a hit. He's going to get the bigger slice of the money pie when you start selling CD's. If you don't like this version, don't listen to it. Don't buy the album. I don't understand why people are bitching about it like they just shit on a masterpiece painting. Songs don't work that way. Anyone can cover any song they want.

[churchexile]

I'm not a HIM fan, more of the country version of this song, but this one is actually a great conversion, Grats to modern Rock for the cover.

[bark2themoon]

In a couple places here he reminds me of Ozzy. Just a bit thinner (and on fewer drugs lol)

[fackit74]

this is a johnny cash song

[AltNixon]

i thought that too, but it was actually written by Neil Diamond, i got corrected on that yesterday lol

[fackit74]

oh ok i did not know that thanx

[Gnarkill666xx]

H I M 4

E V A

! ! !

[6FlagsGuy]

lol i like HIM and i like your name...

HIM

and

GnarKill

4 Ever

[flyingscience]

When Ville/ Him sings this, its not quite as believable because if this dude found his girl with another man I think he'd just join in and not get mad !

[ExtraStrenght]

Hell yeah he would, or at the very least bust out the camera and record that shit!

[Yiszuusz]

HIM is so Cool (H)

[mrsvade]

Love it!

[pickard72]

I remember Chris Issak doing this song too.

[aalayah33]

me gusta him y este video

[bigdog0326]

what a fucking cover great job

[Pingaling89]

what idiot girl...would leave ville!!

[TheEthanAndKyleShow]

its a cover, lol.

[cand86]

I didn't think I'd like anybody's cover of Neil Diamond, but this isn't half bad.

[xhrisbaddaker]

I rather liked Johnny Cash's cover of it.

[lisak78]

I love this song!  Bam's ex at :27 and :36....glad he got rid of her. Funny that they put her sex scene with her friend in there though. (:36)

[hootinanny6]

HIM=KICK ASS!!!!!!!

[Ckylaurence]

][-][.][.][\/][. =Best Band Ever!!

[thejokernwb]

The song was on the greatest hits And love said no

[andthisisuber]

Someone looks like a flaming faggot?

[666BDSM666]

in the beginning his halo looks alot more like deer antlers

[VolcanicSlut23]

is not a song is a cover.

[cliniclown]

so you say a cover isnt a song? lol,

[MetalCommand1]

all i m saying is that is not one of "their" best songs.

[mrmouth92]

what album was this on??

[cliniclown]

and love said no

[0godangel]

][-][.][.][\/][. =Best Band Ever!!

[heartless13]

Love the song,but video sucks!The only thing that makes me watch it is Ville without shirt on:)

[himetal666]

muy buen video chingon him

[DocOfAreaology]

I was not aware HIM covered Neil Diamond, but hey...not bad.

[ildrugo]

CRAP!

[KillerOster]

and you are a piece of shit dude

if you do not like the video why you look at

[TearsOfRage07]

zevkime helal a.q xDD

[JulesXtheXJestess23]

One of their better songs, not one of their best videos. Sorry, Bam. Stick to "Where the Shit is Santa?!"

[elfka60]

paráda

[jameyjam101]

runied the whole song

[DuraheLL]

this just sound weird after hearing mr Cash

[truemmer]

Johnny Cash's cover of Solitary Man is the best one imho. Almost made me cry. His voice really grew old, maybe that's why it touches me so much.

[CyYoung52]

ich... and luis... Do a little research first - This song was written by Neil Diamond, who was a Brill Building songwriter before he became a pop star, and was his first single, getting to #55 in 1966 and #21 re-released in 1970.Cash covered it in 2000. As far as I know, the Hollies.

never did. (See Wikipedia and Allmusic Guide).

[rockafellateatime]

'Jim' looks like Ryan Gee

[hashlong]

this version is good but johnny cash is better at it

[ichgebdirauchgleich]

this is originally from the hollies and not from neil diamond

[MrKevinSpacey]

OMG, the only thing good on this song is text and text is not their. Listen to the first ones: Neil diamond and JOHNY CASH!!! ( best )

[luisvarela83]

yes the song is neil diamond cover off the big jonhy cash

[berserkley]

HIM's version might not have been half bad, if only they hadn't chosen such a BS video to go along with it. No style.

[MurderDollMk2]

directed my Bam Margera, what do you expect?

[FARfromYOU123]

gej...

[diimmortal]

lol, i have this on my mp3, and ive just found out this is by them, lol and i told my friends i had never heard of them lol

[PAUKARNITA]

i love this video but

killing loneliness is the best

i love ville valo

its fucking cool

[seekanddestroy09]

i love neil but i must say this version rips

[VampireIchigo]

I like HIM's version of this song..!

HIM rocks!

[arvi666cad]

greate song>>> lyrics, music, video..... everything! GREECE calling again!!

[Valoishot]

stfu!!!!

LOSER -.-!

H.I.M rocks!

and the singer is the SHIT!

mdfckr

[cofpfh]

ps your a they have their own songs only a few covers that they made a million times better ur just a butt fuck that cant realize it

[willexwalo]

Actually, most of HIM's songs Ville has written himself.Besides, the band re-making a song is no excuse to flame them.

fucking fail, kid.

Go choke on your daddy's cock.

[xDhimxD]

1:11 I love this moment :D

[ajjy502]

As they say on American Idol "this song was a bad choice for this band" Cash and Diamond both show more feeling.

[cofpfh]

neil dimond is a horrible singer his version sounds likes a wet fart

[LeaValo27]

this song is better than any of them so shut up him fuckin rock

[adventure91285]

r u serious? i mean i like HIM but come on there is no true feeling behind it like cash's version had.

[aphyd2]

i hear ya. ive never heard of HIM before. i think they did "okay" but cash owns this song. he even took it away from neil diamond. hehe

[mariuslefter]

Listen HIm's songs made by them, actually by Ville (the vocalist). They are brilliant, truely masterpieces.Cheers mate, rock on!

[Muttes7]

They Ruined the Song!!!!....

[17865329]

I love the Neil Diamond original and

am 50, but I like this too.

[jerzydawg333]

they did good job covering this,but it dont fit them...cash and diamond are well respected by it tho...

[Eviscera09]

I suppose him is good in their own way. it's unfortunate they chose to redo a song unsuitable to their performance style.

[ARKITOOTHUS]

I have of version of just Ville singing it on his own w/ just his acoustic and it's fantastic because he has such a good voice

[NeemaOrander]

Even nice song, bad video. Anyway Cash's version was better.

[smellydirty]

neil diamond is a douche bag but johnny cash didn't perform it any better than he did. HIM are a bunch of lovesick, artsy fartsy types IMO, but they do cover this song pretty well.

[NikolasThePro]

i love this song.....<3

[thepoiboy]

ummm, johnny's was better..gulp

[CRUNTCHBITE]

johnnys was better so was neil's

[killerkiwi03]

talk about killing a good song they suck

[CRUNTCHBITE]

AMEN! HIM sucks my cock

[klynt23]

this is the best version of this song. period.

[nine45]

neil diamond did this song

[nine45]

neil diamond did this song too actually

[Eurynomos69]

It's not that bad... just... totally "ordinary". Cash's version got both better music and vocal... Him's just not the right guy to cover this song, period.

[Rotytza]

People, I am not old (18 years) and I still hate this cover. It is NOTHING compared to the original song. The song itself is about sorrow because he lost all the loves of his life. HIM just made the song so that you can dance to it or something. He TOTALY DESTROYED the meaning of the song!!!!

[Legenda91]

Great job

[mrsSongbird]

I love him... He is just vampire Gothic wanna be thats all don't put him down just for his style .

[urgedmoon]

he looks like a crackwhore in this video

[FerreusSWE]

"theyre so different AMAGAWD!" uh yeah, they got electric guitars... very different, yay gratz on you

[dawgghogg111]

fuck y`all HIM haters, it`s a very different abordation of the song,and it`s really god

[ch3rryl3m0nn]

amazing.

[itsahardknocklife1]

They say its a cover and I have to say he does not sound anything like the original which is good because that makes it HIMs own version and not a classic copy cat fall flat on their faces cover.

YAY HIM!!!!

[docbeetle]

This is a fantastic cover, Neil Diamond is a wonderful artist and song writer, HIM made this song even better in my opinion, I bet half the people who hate this cover are old as fuck

[franktyrell]

I'm not old, and i not hate it.

But it's shit... Johnny Cash forever!

[KARKAEVER]

is this a joke?

[ricardoatzin]

HIM, YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG...

[merel8710]

Differently!

[stephenleonheart]

this song has been destroyed by shitty HIM

[jameyjam101]

ruined

[himrules123456]

DEATH TOOOOOOO ALL HIM HATERS (6)

HIM rules

[TenthBlackRose]

wow. everyone grow up about a score of years ok? Ville is beautiful and straight. it may not be the best cover, but u guys r pointless and if this is how you want to spend precious minutes of your life, be my guest.

[himrules123456]

i agree Ville is hot ^^ ( aint gay )

[ang0r]

Killed the song too....... what a crying shame.

[NosferTheLegend]

I came to watch this video because I was curious to see what a modern band would do to such a great classic. They say curiosity killed the cat, and while I can't speak for that, I certainly know it killed my ear drums...

[Skaldicgoth]

This version really sucks donkeyballs

[XxDaveyXxXHavokxX]

PEOPLE!!!! What the hell?! "Look at that gay guy singing this!" and "Ew, look at the tranny!" ENOUGH!! If you come to these videos so you can make fun of them, get a life! If you have nothing better to do than sit at home on the computer and write this stuff about Ville and how bad this cover is, then not to be rude, but you're a loser. I'm not deffending HIM either(even though I love them), but I mean, come on! If I went around to videos all day saying,"They suck." then wouldnt I be a loser too

[pitchforkjesus]

Watching this is like when you burp and a little bit of vomit comes up in your throat leaving a nasty aftertaste for an hour or so.

[VeneficvsArt]

Yeah, it is like fucking your mother without condoms

[livenr8]

Then why the fuck do you watch it? Makes no sense.

[pitchforkjesus]

because it was a related video to Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt which captured the essence that NIN embedded in... With the Cash cover, it's still a dark and depressing song, but he adds a whole new level of sadness to it, and in conjunction with the video, it just eats at your soul. HIM's cover was related, I checked it out and it was complete and utter garbage in comparison to NIN/Johnny Cash. Him as a band is alright, but they mutilated the whole meaning and feel of this song & that's a fact!

[flyingscience]

Because the diffrent versions pop up as related videos - people give it a try some times they are great sometimes stinkaay !

[flyingscience]

they keep switching back and forth between the pretty girl and the look alike NOT pretty boy  uggghhhh spiting up fridge lint !!!!!

[flyingscience]

Somebody tell Mr. Tranny to put his shirt back on .Seeing this guy is like eating fuzz under your refrigerator.

[VeneficvsArt]

flyingscience, you definetely have something with him! WHy don't you take your mother and suck Johnson Baby Cash's dick ? Fucking loser, go listen to your gay slow pop shit.

[Soldier016]

Wow, HIM fucked it over. Johnny Cash forever!

[J35y]

Actually Cash "fucked" (read covered) it over also. Neil Diamond forever....

[Soldier016]

lol, neil diamond covered it fromm johnny cash. johnny cash wins everytime

[J35y]

Ok. :D. Neil Diamond-Solitary Man 1966, Johnny Cash-Solitary Man 2000. Quess again who covered who. Check the facts next time you wanna make yourself idiot.

[varelaskatecrew]

I first listened to HIM's version a long time a go...so I can't say the original is better or not.. I like how this version sounds but without the original it was impossible to this cover to exist...

[wellixl]

not liking this version at all, they ruined it! Him's cover of wicked game was better

[thexdarkestxdragon]

damn rockstars are so fucking skinny these days, well except for some of them in a7x but anyway as i was going to comment cash was better but they still fucking rocked

[Karumii]

gay

[benxander]

Look at the lulz created by dramatic camera angles of the guitarists ;)

Anyways, i don't mind this cover, because its a cover. Stop whining about it not being as good as Diamond or Cash.

HIM put a different spin on the song. Thats the whole point of a cover.

To make it completely different. To reinvent it

[ch3rryl3m0nn]

the versions of johnny cash and Him are the best ones

. . .

[GothikVix666]

Oh btw 2:13=epic prettinesss

[GothikVix666]

Okay to be honest, I like this version of the song best.And I'm not just saying that becasue HIM is my favorite band.

No offense, but the old version sort of bores me.

I'm not saying it's bad, I just prefer this version...

[angiethenative]

oh and for the record, HIM DID THIS SONG WAY BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GothikVix666]

True, so true.

[angiethenative]

hey haters, get a fucking life!! you just go to these videos to make fun of them. like what the hell. thats so stupid.get a fuckin life seeing as though theres nothing better to do in your stupid pathetic lives then to search all the songs you hate on youtube and write dumbass comments about them. think about it. dont u have something better to do?

[flyingscience]

This transvestite sucks ass singing this song .Him is not worthy to lick Cashes or Neils ass when their toilet paper runs out!

[sheikspace]

LOL, I'ts not all that bad though. True about the transvestite part.

[doomsdayspike]

Im sorry. I just can't find the feeling that Diamond and Cash brought when they sang this song..

[parabol]

Diamond must be puking and cash must be rolling over in his grave.

[MimiandtheSnow]

I'd be faithful. xD

[monty1067]

One of many covers of the original Neil Diamond song. Everything old is new again. At least the new, young bands appreciate quality and like to bask in reflected glory.

[tradesman666]

i like the johnny cash version the most but this is good too

[romneymarsher1]

HIM really knows how to ruin a good song!!!!

[HieiYYH2]

They did an amazing Adaption of the song. If you don't like it that is your problem. I like the original version of this song also but this version is also good.

If you don't like HIM that is fine, go listen to something else don't bash on them cause some of the fans of HIM may just go to your favorite singers and Bands and Bash them.

Remember, What you send out into the world will come back to you times Three.

[Jhonmtva]

the song is NEIL DIAMONT ???

[romneymarsher1]

Neil Diamond wrote the music and lyrics to The Solitary man

[KaanaRiot]

true, it also was the first single he released on his own after having written serveral songs for different artists.

[SessyGirl101]

wat is that girl licking?

[mungcray]

another girls boob

[filipinoboy619]

a boob if u saw the movie Haggard it explains a lot

[Heartagramlauri69]

Most sexy HIM video ever <33

[08356estela]

i love this song!!!!

[bryanbko]

the director should have fired the cameraman. during the guitar solo (2:00) they showed the roof of the building. i like the video except of the cameramans fuck up.

[chromecrescent]

you do know that the camera is attactched to the guitar, yes?

[Malice197]

wow he really looks like a fag... I guess if you're talented you can cross-dress all you want.

[44155]

he'll sure as hell stay a solitary man dressing like that

[MaterCz]

I am great rock and metal fan, but this version of the song is by far the worst. Johny Cash sang it the way it cannot be sang again. I am sorry.

[omgomg119]

listen up grandpa,

the members of HIM, are very intelligent, and brilliant people, and I think, that they made a great, very strong cover of this song. It is amazing, and has a softer tone, because unlike your redneck "Johny Cash" his voice is gentle and roams through each note with ease. No disrespect to you, or your "Johny Cash" but you simply cannot compare them. Fail.

[jCharon]

Well mz child, I think I miht be older than you since I am 21. But they are singing the same song so I can compare them. I was just expressing my oppinion so go flame someone else. I did not say this version is bad, his is just better. The feeling is completely diferent. And I am stressingagain, that I generly dont like country. Peace

affffffffffffffff

essa bicha parece não ter o senso do ridículo, viadão mago da porra...
