Now there's a very hard question!! Which one is best?! Well, again I'm suspicious to answer as of course I like them both. However, initially "It's all Tears" seems to rock a bit more than "Bleed Well" just because it seems they go in a different direction than the original we hear from the album whilst "Bleed Well" in the beginning seems very similar to what was recorded. But later on, if we pay more attention, we notice that there is also some improvisations in "Bleed Well", not only Mige and Linde jaming on the bass and guitar, but also Burton with some different notes on the keyboard.... Just Beautiful!!! And then of course, we can't forget Ville's voice, always singing wonderfully well and amazingly beautiful... "It's All Tears" is one of the classics I love and everytime I see them performing this song live, it's different! So, definetely both of them rock, again in their own way... HIM can always improvise and play the same song in different ways and that's what makes them the good band they are! A good band is the one that can improvise and play its songs differently than recorded in the album! And HIM are indeed one of those bands!
(Sorry for my music iliteracy in using the right musical terms here, but I hope I made my point!) -

They're both amazing, no doubt about it, but It's All Tears was a heavier song to begin with a sure classic. Linde shreds and Ville shows off his range! To top it all off, the song closes with a bit of a mashup of Monster Magnet and none other than Iggy and the Stooges. How harder can you rock? ;] -

I love them both, they're equally great in their own way and honestly I just love that whole DVD too much to choose a favorite song performance. I think the band has a great stage presence and it is great when they interact with the audience and when Ville talks with us or just to us about random things. It is all great. :) Love the 'cock made out of platinum' line. It is random things like that, that tend to make the shows better. Haha. -

Answered Bleed Well
Bleed Well undoubtedly and by far surpasses It's All Tears in it's flowing melody coupled with the Venus Doom album's now-trademark power riffs and whose captivating vocals are inescapable, except the live version takes it to another level that solidifies proof that the members of HIM are as dominant a force live as any other rock band out there, if not better. -

I'm with Storm on this one...
Not that Bleed Well wasn't beautifully performed here and the band always works so hard...
but they rocked the utter living hell out of It's All Tears here. They're super tight and the break... holy mother of God. Linde and Gas are on fire. Mashing in the Monster Magnet tune at the end was just brainy and funny and rude and perfect.
By comparison Bleed Well was like being wrapped in a lovely warm fuzzy blanket of sound, lol. -
