No, I don't think it actually has anything to do with the dvd coming out, it was just a clear version of a song since all the rest on youtube were either bad audio or bad picture. Sorry for the confusion.

HIM - "Bleed Well (live)" Digital Versatile Doom video


Complete tracklisting from an email I got. I'm liking the fact that there are lots of extras, and that there's an actual Venus Doom video that hasn't been plastered all over the internet yet. Sometimes surprises are good

thank you for the information

And yes, I agree, it was a horrible decision with that preview, people just ripped the show, and many of them won't buy the DVD... I don't know how they consider themselfs H.I.M. lovers, when they don't help the band at least by buying their material for which they have worked so hard!

Errat, I agree it was a bad decision to show the whole dvd before hand because of how easy it is to rip things from the internet now, but the only reason I posted the Bleed Well clip was because it was from HIM's official youtube page, and I figured if Warner's was going to post it, it was ok to spread it around. Had it just been on some random person's page, I probably wouldn't have posted it. Speaking of that clip, holy shaky camera, batman! I sincerely hope the whole dvd isn't like that because I felt like I was riding a roller coaster while watching. I didn't think the sound was that great either, but I'm chalking that up to my computer speakers.

oh, no, I wasn't saying anything that you didn't do right just me, I was just unhappy about Warner

come on guys, no-one did anything wrong here

No worries, Errat. I understood what you were saying, I just wanted to clarify so others didn't think I was posting these clips here as a means to not go buy the dvd. Though I've got a feeling I'm going to be saying "Fuck Warner" a whole lot tomorrow when I watch the dvd. Apparently from what people have been saying, the 3 music videos aren't on there, and the only good extra is an interview with Ville, since Warner decided the rest of the extras didn't need to be there. Guess I'll see for myself once I pop it in, but that would just piss me off if stuff they're saying is on there isn't. Especially the videos since the sticker on the front clearly says, "With the videos for KOD, Bleed Well, and Venus Doom" or something to that effect since I'm not looking at it currently.

might happen, you know. i've got a thing or two against Warner myself.

I'll try not to go off on a rant against Warner, but no promises. And if you want to know about something I don't mention, just ask

Ok, so there aren't any music videos on the dvd, unless they're easter eggs, because when you go to the extras menu, it's only the interview, HIM's biggest fan winners, and a photo gallery. Though the band interviews is really just an interview with Ville, though it in itself is worth the price of the dvd, IMO. It's 45 minutes of him talking about anything and everything--though I am a bit biased and could listen to him ramble forever A bit sad when talking about his relationship with Jonna, though. Not bashing her here, but she really fucked with his head.

The photo gallery is all pictures of some/all the guys with fans, set to music, which is nice but I can't see myself watching it again. Same with the biggest fan winners. The 10 min clip was entertaining, but I doubt I'd ever watch it again.

Can I just say that I love HIM even more now since they used Dexter music as an intro. Love the show, and if they played it at my show, I totally didn't notice. Loved how the beginning of the dvd seemed like a movie, with black & white footage of the band backstage before going on and starting the show. It just gave off a really cool vibe. The concert footage is good, but I wanted to smack the audience. I've never seen a more unenthusiastic crowd in my life. They're all just standing there like they were afraid to move. And my one complaint about the cd is they left Right Here In My Arms off. Probably because the audience sings most of the song, but that would've made it more fun. Though if Ville's laugh makes you laugh, I'd suggest not listening to the cd whilst driving because he laughs at least once per song, which led to me laughing all the way home. Then there's the line about Bon Jovi which is priceless. Ending It's All Tears with a line from a Monster Magnet song was pretty great too. Not so great that I had my 4 year old niece with me, but I don't think she was paying much attention anyways, other than wondering why I was cracking up, lol.

Bottom line : Get the dvd for the interview. It's totally worth it.

I got my copy today=)
I really like it, it really was worth the waiting.
I only think, at the beginning, you see every black and white.
But when Ville come's up, everything become's colourfull..
I think this jus accents how important Ville is..
I don't like that because they're a band, they should all get attention..

EDIT:
The audience really sucked!
And I don't understand why they put of RHIMY of the CD, because the audience didn't sing that much of the song..

Glad you're enjoying it

I sorta liked how it was black&white until Ville went on stage. I don't think it accented him being any more important than any of the others, it just signified that with him coming onstage the show could begin. But I like little effects like that and think it made a stronger statement about the show starting than had all the backstage stuff also been in color. Just my opinion, though.

So glad I'm not the only one who thought the audience sucked. And they knew the show was being taped for the dvd. You'd think they could've mustered up some enthusiasm. They did pay to go to the show afterall. It's not like HIM just said we need to fill a theater with a bunch of people so find anyone you can.

The RHIMA thing was just an assumption since I couldn't figure any other reason to keep it off. It's not like Ville said/did anything bad in that song.

This really sucks, I just found out that on the digital version of Digital Versatile Doom, they included RHIMA and not on the cd=(.

That kinda blows..

made them few weeks ago but didn't find the time to post them , now i see some are not very clear , when i get another free moment .. i will make another try
