¤ Let's try to sort out this DVD business, shall we?

Here are the scoops:

November 1st, a UK only DVD will be coming out entitled HIM vs. Bam, which is a collection featuring Bam Margera's 3 "Making the Wideo (Video)" documentaries for "Buried Alive By Love," "The Sacrament," and the previously unreleased "And Love Said No." Bonus footage will include the video for "Solitary Man," an interview with Ville and TV ads and trailers.

December 1st, the US DVD will be released. This is going to be a video collection, featuring all but three of the band's videos. Some extras will be interviews and "Making of" type thingies.

March 2005, the promised HIM DVD that we've been hearing about since 2003 may be released. This is the big one with live footage and other crap that I forgot about.

That should clear up any confusion as to what's coming up.

Also, Love Metal will be released in the US February 1, 2005.

¤ I finally managed to peel myself away from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas long enough to update.

My good friend and yours Cher Hell sent me some scans of the other 2005 HIM Calendar...not the official one, but the one you can get from eBay. Honestly, I think I like this one more than I do the official one...the official one's a piece of shit. At least this one has some up to date pictures in it.

¤ I added some more Fakes to the section. There is some seriously bogus shit flying around these days.

¤ Hey sucker, have you checked out the Forum yet? If not, you're missing out. Come meet other degenerates like yourself, and possibly get a few downloads while you're there.

¤ For those attending the Halloween show this year, you may want to dress up. There's a contest going on where the best dressed person will get to meet Ville after the show.

And with about 10 days left before Halloween, I figured it would be a nice gesture to give you a free download of a HIM Halloween at Luxembourg 2001. Click here to download the show.

¤ *Sigh* I give up...you win. After a long time of debating whether or not to make one or not, I've decided to finally give you what every other decent site has...a forum.

For those who don't know...I really hate forums. Why? Because people just bitch at each other, calling each other gay, blah blah blah, and possibly giving somebody a complex. Not to mention that kids today can't seem to spell for shit and type with numbers instead of real words.

So let's do something different and create a cool community instead, not a collective bunch of douchebags. It's looking kinda shitty now, so you need to sign up and start posting to get the party started.

I'll assign mods later, so don't ask about that yet. I'm not 100% done with it yet. Tootles!

¤ I don't normally do this, but since he's a friend of mine and he does a lot of good work for the Fakes section, I'll do it once. *Sigh*

Hey kids, go to prom and homecoming in style with this one of a kind, handcrafted HIM necktie! Seriously, be the center of attention with the HIM logo surrounded by SUPER FREAKING AWESOME vines!

  ¤ I probably should have mentioned this earlier, but our host is having a friendly contest to see who can pull in the most hits...so, although I hate whoring myself out...I want you to help us rank in the Top 10.

¤ I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the long-awaited HIM DVD is finally going to be released on Nov. 1st. The bad news is that it's coming to us in the form of HIM vs. Bam (Region 2 PAL DVD) a collection featuring Bam Margera's 3 "Making the Wideo (Video)" documentaries for "Buried Alive By Love," "The Sacrament," and the previously unreleased "And Love Said No."

Bonus footage will include the video for "Solitary Man," an interview with Ville and TV ads and trailers. What I don't know if this is the actual DVD that was promised to us last year, because if it is...I'm sad. What happened to the video collection?

¤ Also, I haven't forgotten about the Newsletter. I just haven't decided what content to post for you. It'll be ready next weekend, so here's your chance to be cool like everyone else.
