    Jesus that's a blast from the past. Haven't heard or even thought of them in years. I had a mate who was totally obsessed with them at the time as well. God I feel old now.

    That's right I think I remember reading at one point as well that his dad had a sex shop and he used to hang out there after school.

    HIM was everywhere 12 years ago, you couldn't escape the heartagram t-shirts and hoodies even if you wanted to. Looking back they were basically Anathema sugar-coated for teenyboppers. A quick google search reveals that they're still going, but I'd imagine that most people rightfully don't care.

    Yes still going but not as good as they once were.

    I liked them back in the day they had some really good songs. To be honest even though they had a lot of goth-type girls as fans they were quite a bit darker than modern Anathema who are much more of a prog outfit.

    The Bam Margera association goes back years. At the last HIM show I saw in Dublin, Bam turfed himself out of one of the boxes on the upper level of the Olympia and went splat on the floor. The support band was Cathedral....which ws nice.

    Couldn't stand them, seen them a few times at festivals but tended to go to antoehr stage when they were on.

    Funniest HIM moment for me was when one of the support bands for Metallica at Wembley Stadium in 2007 pulled out, some bright spark decided HIM would be a good replacement, fcuk they got some savage abuse that day
