H.I.M. butchers Depeche Mode
 

And I, for one, am not happy about it...

HIM is terrible. Did you expect anything different?

I had never really heard anything by him/them. I don't listen to trendy music, NOR do I listen to trendy opinions. It is just as trendy for kids to listen to H.I.M. as it is for "goths" to be pissed about the bands fame.

Oh god, why did I click? Why?
Drunken karaoke would be better than that mess.

There are songs where Valo sounds good.
But that was BAAAAAAAAD.

Curiosity got the better of me, I wish it hadn't. That is truly terrible.

Sounded decent to me. As does most music.

Jesus Christ. It's like he can't even hear his own band.

My ears...They hate me now.

Oh my. This is probably the worst cover version I ever heard. Even M.Manson can do better.

Now that is a magnificent insult.

Manson does a good DM cover.

Ah, CHRIST. O_O
My ears.. they bleed..

Ironically, I was listening to the original version of the song in question this afternoon during my daily carriage ride home from classes. What a ghastly rendition this was by comparison!

That's just sad.
I need to cleanse myself with Speak and Spell now.

I'm not really that interested in Depeche Mode, so I can't really have a proper take on it. To me it sounds like any other over-produced crap that sounds under-produced at the same time. Now, if they'd covered Boneshaker baby...

If someone makes an awful cover of Boneshaker Baby because of your post, I'm going to have to punch you.

Ah man, DM do not translate well into whatever H.I.M do, "love metal" or some crap. It's like Graveworm covering Losing my Religion...which they did.

I think when bands cover songs that they should really think about how that song will sound in their style because sometimes, you just aren't going to capture the real essence of a song when you take it in the opposite direction. This is why I end up being reluctant to cover anything.

Go ahead, I'll bite you.

Are HIM considered Metal at all?

They are Pussy Music, for slavering cunts.

At least they are trying

I...this is....I can't even begin to describe....
DEPECHE MODE is MY BAND. Jesus CHRIST that's one of the worst things I've ever heard, next to Shpongle! Fucking ludicrous, this is. Enjoy the Silence is dead to me now. My ears bleed in protest.
I think I'm going to go bash my head in with a rock.

Trying to what, exactly? I've been making music since before that whateverthefuckitis lead cock wrangler was a fucking zygote, I TRY. They caterwaul and croon bullshit lyrics and doodle pathetic hooks for faux-rebellious suburbanite fuck-wit little girls who think he's oh-so-dreamy. Fuck 'em, fuck everyone who was retarded enough to click the link, fuck you for posting the link and, supposedly, going out of yr way to find it (Whether you did or not, I'm sticking with that), fuck that sad, miserable excuse for a band and their sad, miserable excuse for music, and fuck the dicks that keep giving them money so they can continue to bring down the musical standards of anti-top 40 music.

bitter at all?
