What does that mean? Was that video blocked in the USA?

Try this version:

Or just do a search for HIM Wicked Game in YouTube...

I don't know the history of this song, but I understand that a couple of versions of the track have appeared on HIM releases. According to the copyright on the video, it says 1998 so it looks like it was shot after the Freaks video.

The song was later re-recorded and put on their next LP Razorblade Romance. And a damn fine album it is too! This version is the original from Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666, released in late'97 so it would make sense that the vid was shot in '98. I know the bassist Mige has professed to liking Live in the past.

Having said that and after watching the two videos, I honestly don't know what similarities there are between the two. The only thing I noticed was how camp Ed looks when he sings the 'Henry Miller' line

Speaking of "Freaks" (I've been waiting a while to introduce this topic), has anybody heard the HIM cover of the Chris Issak hit "Wicked Game"?

Take a look at the video clip for it, it's strangely similar to Freaks. Except in Freaks we don't get a full frontal shot of a pole dancer. Oh well.

That's funny. The first time I saw the Freaks video I thought the way they were standing on a stage dressed up was a straight rip off of the In Bloom video by Nirvana:
