I love how he smokes on stage. They were amazing live. I wish I could enter a picture lol H.I.M actually helped me get through a brain tumor surgery at twelve in the hospital and past that. Helped me through a lot. Still do. Best band
TripHop B.C. Oh gosh I don’t remember when I saw them. Lol They were at the House Of Blues in Anaheim CA when it was last at Downtown Disney lol. So a few years ago. I started listening to them though when I was like 11. Stole my cousin’s CD lol was in love. They got me through brain surgery at 11.
You guys are great! You're not like other reaction channels with "wow cool..." comments, you see the details, and appreciate the small bits. Love it, you can do HIM anytime :)
Love me some old school ambient love metal from HIM. Now that you are borderline goth you should react to another great band from Finland - The 69 Eyes
One of my most favorite videos ever. HIM is so underrated. It’s cool that you guys enjoy it as much as I do. Hard to find other HIM fans out there now days. Check out HIM live @ viva overdrive 1998, will not disappoint!
I was fortunate enough to see them on their farewell tour and they were GREAT. I was so sad to hear of them disbanding, but I’m always hoping that they’ll come together again 🤞🏽Thank you for giving them an honest listen. 🤘🏽
He smoked about 3 packs of Marlboro a day during golden era of HIM. Smoking is important part of his image. Once he told these words "The more i smoke the better i sing". He gave up smoking because of health condition in 2010 but started again in 2012.
I would recommend reacting to The Path by HIM if you want another song on this level (not as heavy, but beautifully written) or Venus Doom, preferably live in that same concert you just did, if you want more vocals like that. BTW, Ville Valo, the singer, wrote all of their songs.
Thank for reacting to this beautiful piece of art. The song was written completely by Ville Valo. Linde, the guitar player has a solo project called Daniel Lioneye.
Ville wrote the lyrics, but her music, especially in her performances, was a sommunity project. This is what Ville has repeatedly emphasized in interviews.
No sabía que había personas que reaccionaran a HIM en estos días. Gracias por el vídeo. Sleepwalking Past Hope es de mis canciones favoritas. Lástima que jamás pude ir a un concierto de ellos y escuchar el potencial de la voz de Valo y en general de la banda.
Oh boy, I've been waiting for this one! Amazing song, I'll never get tired of that insanely beautiful piano melody and chorus. But yeah, smoking on stage was Ville's trademark for a long time. He also used to have a bottle of red wine with him during the early years of the bands career. Great job as always guys, do some more His Infernal Majesty as soon as possible!
I was enjoying of this performance since "live at orpheum theater DVD" came out. Countless times i saw this again and again and everytime with big pleasure. So i am very surprised that after all these years you guys made this "reaction vid" fresh one and it's trending now, especially after disbanding of HIM. Thank you guys, it was a good one ;)
It's a pity Ville didn't write more stuff for his low register voice in HIM. The guy has a vocal range very similar to Peter Steele but he chooses to do the whiny high register thing most of the time.
This song and most of their songs have been credited to written by Ville Valo (the singer), but yeah solos are probably written by Daniel Lioneye (the guitarist).
Fun fact: Daniel Lioneye has released his own music too and if you ever watched the Jackass guys show Viva La Bam, the intro song of that show is one of his songs. ua-cam.com/video/Ji27mG7ifhg/v-deo.html
Omg I still love ville valo H.I.M I remember when I seen them back in 2010 in Anaheim California at the house of blues he was amazing as always when he performs its awesome to know people still listen in 2019 H.i.M fan forever 💙
I love how you talk about the song(s) after the videos. I mean talk a lot, about the song and/or the video and not just like two words "yeah, cool". Keep it going, greetings from Finland!
I usually don't watch any "reacting to" videos as most of them don't look genuine . But I actually follow this channel .I like how you don't "forcefully" try to react to the song just for the sake of making a new video for YT. It's clear as day that you two enjoyed listening/watching it and your reactions are natural. *thumbs up*
Love HIM. Valo has 5 octaves, pretty amazing. Love all the group, all the musicians, they were great together, but Valo will always be my fav male singer of all times for what he can do with his "gift". Love your videos guys. Hope you could find more available music form HIM.
This song is my absolute favorite from HIM 🖤🔥 I always felt that HIM’s Venus Doom and [AMATORY]’s VII are two albums with something subtly similar, like two brothers born from different mothers in different countries, even though [AMATORY] were much more hardcore at the time. Both albums were released almost in the same time back in 2008, and i thought why they are so irrationally close to esch other st some very deep level. I guessed that may be [AMATORY]’s producer Tue Madsen was a fan of HIM and that’s why i hear some kind of influence but a few days ago i’ve found out that it was [AMATORY]’s guitarist, who was creating all the music at VII. Anyway Venus Doom and VII are two my favorite heavy albums released in 2008, they always come together in my music universe, two masterpieces.
Ville used to be an EXTREMELY heavy smoker in the past, also heavy drinker. He always used to both smoke and drink on stage. This concert was done quite soon after he got out of rehab in 2007 and since he is stage shy ( you would´t guess right) he was using his cigarettes as crotches to help him get through it. You can notice he is not even smoking them so much most of the time, just holding them. Then he quit smoking and cigarettes disappeared but he replaced them with drinking tons of bottles of Vitamin water. He got back to smoking since then, alcohol we don´t speak about :-) Please check their Overdrive live performance from Germany, it´s an absolute gem.
Ah my favorite band of all time! Ville is my favorite singer/songwriter of all time. Ville is a throwback to rock frontmen like Morrison, Jagger, Ozzy....Great reaction!
You're comments had been exactly the same what i thought, when i saw this song the first time. But the best part was your faces during the performance, it was so funny. I wish more of such reviews :D
You should check ville valo&agents- tähdet tähdet. Its an old finnish song thats very popular and at the time was made famous by one of that time most famous singer Rauli Badding Somerjoki. Completely different kind of music than HIM but think Ville nails those songs too. Saw them live with my 5y old daughter few weeks ago. Went to see Lamb of god but really enjoyed Ville Valo gig too.
As stated below Ville used to smoke at least 3 packs a day in HIMs prime years. This performance is kinda at the end of HIMs prime era. I see some lame song suggestions in the comments, you should do HIM - the funeral of hearts (live at semifinal 2003) if you enjoy villes voice.
You guys should do an epic long reaction to the whole concert! It would be worth it, great concert! You should try cracking Knowing Me, Knowing You by MGT and Ville Valo, or even maybe anything else HIM/Ville Valo related 😂 love your videos guys!
Whenever I listen to this song (one of HIM's best, IMO), I am always fascinated by the backing piano melody, and it's funny you didn't mention that. As for the smoking, this concert was shot in the autumn of 2007, and Ville (the singer and mastermind behind everything HIM related, kinda like how T. Holopainen is for Nightwish) used to smoke a lot back then, he quit in the meantime. If you do more stuff from this gig (and you should, you'll find more cool stuff, like 'Soul on Fire' or 'It's all tears') you'll see him smoking some more. Anyways, great reaction to a great song.
The band's name was originally His Infernal Majesty but they had to start using abbreviation because they were associated to devil worshipping which was a big problem in 90s Hel(l)sinki. HIM also fitted better to album covers.
@@operatori I wasn't there to witness it but that information came from the police and other reliable sources. The band has also talked about it and it's mentioned on their Finnish Wikipedia page.
Yeah, this was the best live performance of their career. So if you could use this video so you surely can use the other videos from this concert. There were so many other good songs played at this concert like "Your Sweet Six Six Six", "Soul on Fire", "Passion's Killing Floor", "Vampire Heart", "Buried Alive By Love" and so on. HIM composed a lot of good songs during their career!!
I actually had the pleasure of watching HIM perform years ago, and i can confirm, Ville did smoke during that concert aswell.. i smoked the same amount as he did at the time, a 90ish min gig, 26 cigs.. :P Ville also has a very good vocal range.. quote from his wiki page ' In 2014, he was found to possess the eighth-highest vocal range of any known singer in popular music by VVN Music.' so :) there you go! also, on a side note, i as a female can match his vocal low range pretty well, i have more issues with the high notes.. :P
Thankyou guys for the great review. Smoking was most definately part of Villes' image during his career. His voice was amazing throughout despite. Imo it was in its prime during their earliest years. Check out this m.ua-cam.com/video/oiuxQ5v9Mqs/v-deo.html to see what I mean. Him-Drown in This Love(Overdrive) 1998. It has that deep to falsetto back n forth that u guys enjoyed. Hope u like and review next!
15:23 Lana Del Rey used to smoke sometimes at her live performances, but not as much as Ville Valo, for example during her song Young And Beautiful (Istanbul 2013) or Gods And Monsters Live (Vida Festival).
Valo (singer) for the band wrote and compose almost every HIM song. You should check their debut album, Venus Doom, Love Metal and the EP if you want to hear some of the bands heavy and dark songs by them.
Him is the best band ever, i have h.i.m stuff every were even tatted on my body in a bunch of places. Im so sad that they disbanded but at least ville is still making music. If you want a little heavier venus doom album passiond killing floir is amazing. Older stuff deaths in love with us is freaking amazing Sigum doll is also amazing actually every song by them is a beautiful master piece.
People dont understand that valo got alot of vocal ranges that alot of singers lack
Yes he does if you look up his vocal range its pretty amamzing.
Hell yeah! A Master!
Absolute amazing voice!
That’s what has made me obsess! His range and music are beyond belief “ Christ his voice makes me shudder with envy!
@@ssmftattoo7960 where shall i look for his range???
I love how he smokes on stage. They were amazing live. I wish I could enter a picture lol
H.I.M actually helped me get through a brain tumor surgery at twelve in the hospital and past that. Helped me through a lot. Still do. Best band
They're amazing live! I first saw them in 2005/2006 when Dark Light was released. I've been in love since ❤
TripHop B.C. Oh gosh I don’t remember when I saw them. Lol They were at the House Of Blues in Anaheim CA when it was last at Downtown Disney lol. So a few years ago. I started listening to them though when I was like 11. Stole my cousin’s CD lol was in love. They got me through brain surgery at 11.
he smokes everywhere, i heard him say he smokes 3 packs a day :| started at 13
So nice to see you guys doing HIM again
It always nice to do HIM
You guys are great! You're not like other reaction channels with "wow cool..." comments, you see the details, and appreciate the small bits. Love it, you can do HIM anytime :)
slažem se ;)
Love me some old school ambient love metal from HIM. Now that you are borderline goth you should react to another great band from Finland - The 69 Eyes
I miss this band so much. Glad I was able to catch a show on the final tour. Awesome review y’all
New ep!
The whole concert was so touching, and the songs are so beautiful!
I wish a reunion!!
Casually singing at 5 octaves vocal range on a live performance while smoking a cigarette xD
How many octaves does he actually have?
@@natyknatyk2335 5 he is often mentioned as one of the singers with largest comfortable range. And he actually uses most of it in one song or another
HIM - For you (Viva Overdrive 1998), please or Endless dark and The Path (2003, Hamburg)
Oh yes I agree!! For you is the best!😍
"For you" is a hauntingly beautiful song 🌟great pick👍🏻
One of my most favorite videos ever. HIM is so underrated. It’s cool that you guys enjoy it as much as I do. Hard to find other HIM fans out there now days. Check out HIM live @ viva overdrive 1998, will not disappoint!
6:37 you can hear SAATANA in natural habitat 😂😂
Yeah! Guys thank you reacted to HIM again! Hope to see more!
I recommend you to listen The Funeral Of Hearts or W. L. S. T. D!))
i adore Ville's voice, i'm glad you guys liked it so much, i really hope we get another HIM reaction!:)
I was fortunate enough to see them on their farewell tour and they were GREAT. I was so sad to hear of them disbanding, but I’m always hoping that they’ll come together again 🤞🏽Thank you for giving them an honest listen. 🤘🏽
Sleepwalking Past Hope is the Masterpiece, the piece of pure art, the gem in heavy music 🖤
He smoked about 3 packs of Marlboro a day during golden era of HIM. Smoking is important part of his image. Once he told these words "The more i smoke the better i sing". He gave up smoking because of health condition in 2010 but started again in 2012.
Yeah and he drank 12 bottles of beer every morning just to get sober...
And today: no alcohol, no nicotine, no meat. His voice has changed, but not for the worse, as he just proves with the agents ;)
Tinka Ward he still smokes and occasionally eats meat...
@@fuhkshet9703 If that's right he's very sympathetic. I like people who are not so strict about rules 😄
I would recommend reacting to The Path by HIM if you want another song on this level (not as heavy, but beautifully written) or Venus Doom, preferably live in that same concert you just did, if you want more vocals like that. BTW, Ville Valo, the singer, wrote all of their songs.
Indeed, Ville is the author of both music and lyrics
The P.S. version of The Path is perfection 🖤
Please react to HIM "It's all Tears" live at Viva Overdrive 1998 .. actually that whole set is absolute magic!
HIM is amazing and now Ville Valo solo album as well.
Thank for reacting to this beautiful piece of art. The song was written completely by Ville Valo. Linde, the guitar player has a solo project called Daniel Lioneye.
And now 'Flat Earth'. :)
Ville wrote the lyrics, but her music, especially in her performances, was a sommunity project. This is what Ville has repeatedly emphasized in interviews.
No sabía que había personas que reaccionaran a HIM en estos días. Gracias por el vídeo. Sleepwalking Past Hope es de mis canciones favoritas. Lástima que jamás pude ir a un concierto de ellos y escuchar el potencial de la voz de Valo y en general de la banda.

one of their best lyrical songs ever, and of course the purest album of them all. just wonderous. perfection through out.

Linde did make some songwriting with valo around the time the band first started
@@JackM. he also married to the guitarist of black sabbath's daughter
"Bury me deep inside in your heart" from Rockpalst 2000 is a pearl!
Omg, yes
Agreed!
Omg I still love ville valo H.I.M I remember when I seen them back in 2010 in Anaheim California at the house of blues he was amazing as always when he performs its awesome to know people still listen in 2019 H.i.M fan forever 💙
I love how you talk about the song(s) after the videos. I mean talk a lot, about the song and/or the video and not just like two words "yeah, cool". Keep it going, greetings from Finland!

Love your videos guys. Hope you could find more available music form HIM.
This is my favourite song played at my favourite performance by my all time favourite band. :) So excited to see your reaction. :)
Check out HIM - Rebel Yell at Provinssirock 1999. They are so young and energetic there
Amazing video ♥♥♥ please more HIM

Venus Doom is my favorite Him’s album, Sleepwalking Past Hope is my favorite song from Venus Doom, it’s so epic and beautiful 🤟🔥🎸
Saw them during their farewell tour in 2017, I had a blast, best concert ever.
This whole show is a masterpiece from start till the end.
It is sad, that there is so few Him reaction videos in YT. Copyright issues I think.
You are correct, Copyright restrictions is the cause
Ah my favorite band of all time! Ville is my favorite singer/songwriter of all time. Ville is a throwback to rock frontmen like Morrison, Jagger, Ozzy....Great reaction!
Ah, I remember that. Ville smoked and drank some wine 🍷 on the stage during his “golden era” performances.
The band of my teenage years 😍 nostalgia
You're comments had been exactly the same what i thought, when i saw this song the first time. But the best part was your faces during the performance, it was so funny. I wish more of such reviews :D
i love your reactions guys!, you sould react to all the live song of the orpheum by H.I.M and overall my favorite 'Killing Lonliness'.
Omggg, Now react to HIM - The Sacrament
Thanks for introducing me to this amazing song!
Check out "for you" live in 1997 jyrki

2007, still remember how it felt buying this album and listening to it on full volume..
Ese concierto que dieron en el Orpheum fue sin duda épico desde principio hasta el final
Yo los he visto dos veces en mi país y no me arrepiento de nada de lo que viví en esos momentos 💕
Maybe next time can you react to The kiss of dawn or Heartkiller
My passion of music, singer since he started to sing...he is so amazing. Please check out Summer wine next you do HIM.
The band's name was originally His Infernal Majesty but they had to start using abbreviation because they were associated to devil worshipping which was a big problem in 90s Hel(l)sinki. HIM also fitted better to album covers.
Nice story, but nobody in Helsinki was concerned about demons at that time. They were more about torching their own businesses for insurance money..
@@operatori I wasn't there to witness it but that information came from the police and other reliable sources. The band has also talked about it and it's mentioned on their Finnish Wikipedia page.
Believe me, in Finland nobody cares about that Bible stuff.. If you want to be Satan., nobody gives a shit 😂
This gig was so beautiful! The sound is epic and come from another world 💖 please watch Live at overdrive :)
Thank you guys for your reaction!)

Oh finally, thanks for doing that! :)
react to HIM - for you
I sang this song to my girlfriend and HIM is my number one favorite band thanks guys
If someone sang this song to me, I would love them forever. :) Cheers to you.
He used to smoke during every performance since the beginning of the band. I think he quit around 2010....
He started it again in 2012
Yes!!!!
Thankyou guys for the great review. Smoking was most definately part of Villes' image during his career. His voice was amazing throughout despite. Imo it was in its prime during their earliest years.

This is the best concert ever. Yall need to watch the whole thing sonetime❤❤❤❤❤
React to Venus Doom fron HIM
Thank you ♥️♥️♥️♥️🤘
I've seen HIM twice and talk about amazing.
The best about HIM is that they are unique and, trust me, that's much to say in music.
Hi guys! I suggest from HIM "Our diabolical repture" from Overdrive and Cover " Don't fear the Reaper"
Such an amazing band and Ville one of the most brilliant musicians ever.
luckily i saw him live 2 times before they stopped
I love HIM.. and im from malaysian..
Ville sounds so gorgeous here. What a vocalist ❤️
Dark Light and Venus Doom are incredible Albums.
15:23 Lana Del Rey used to smoke sometimes at her live performances, but not as much as Ville Valo, for example during her song Young And Beautiful (Istanbul 2013) or Gods And Monsters Live (Vida Festival).
MORE HIM
react to wings of a butterfly and in joy and sorrow by HIM
also 96 quite bitter beings by CKY
HIM is the best, underrated band. Vallo is awesome.
HIM - Close To The Flame (live Turku 2002)
Valo (singer) for the band wrote and compose almost every HIM song. You should check their debut album, Venus Doom, Love Metal and the EP if you want to hear some of the bands heavy and dark songs by them.
Just randomly saw this video. And yes Valo has a sweet vocal range and he smokes 2 packs per show or more lol true ganster!!!!
Him is the best band ever, i have h.i.m stuff every were even tatted on my body in a bunch of places. Im so sad that they disbanded but at least ville is still making music.
If you want a little heavier venus doom album passiond killing floir is amazing.
Older stuff deaths in love with us is freaking amazing
Sigum doll is also amazing actually every song by them is a beautiful master piece.
One of the few time you hear the inner metal demon Valo holds lol
Ok, I see you reacted to "It's all Tears" so try reacting to HIM's cover of Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell" live at Provinssirock 1999 🙌👏
I like more 2018 Rock am ring version.
I caught this Shaw and when that piano riff came on i lost my frickin mind
Love Ville , And love this video ❤️🤘
