HIM - Live at Den Atelier, Luxembourg (2001.10.31)   - Bury Me Deep Inside Your Heart sounds sooo good

How can they no longer play that song live??!!!

Kurt was like that at our show as well. He stood up for women's rights. stopped fights and still put on a better than average show. We left wanting much more from him. He wanted to fight this guy that slapped a girlfriend, in public. He meant war and the guy coward of course.

Oh wow, where did this happen??

Love's screaming,
"I will be the end of you."
And I'm pleading,
"Don't you stop, now."
Go on and tear me apart (tear me apart)
Show me all you have got (show me all you've got)
We will be so free
From all that has been
So free from all that we've seen
So free

During these two years, did you ever consider moving on to a solo career?

 -"I have always thought about it, but no, I'm not interested in that. Every time I play guitar alone home, it sounds like our band. And it always sounds better with the band. It's not about ego. The most important thing is, that the music is good. Even if I do the melodies, this is teamwork. This really is a band."

 

And you are the frontman.

-"Could I be the invisible singer? Let's put a picture of an invisible man in the cover of the Soundi magazine!"

-"Or my talking ass", Mige proposes.

 

But you could imagine, that Ville grew tired of being under scrutiny of the tabloids five years ago?

"-You mean my drinking and then quitting drinking? You make your bed, you sleep in it. I screwed up. In the end, that kind of publicity doesn't matter. I think it is nice that people are interested in us, and they have some kind of respect for us, but no one needs to know everything about your life. Or to know if it's Miges willie in the poster of Hungarian Bravo magazine."

 

Is it?

"-Hell yeah! And other thing is, that we are not U2. We are just a pump from Helsinki. We are just a rockband who got incredibly lucky with a few songs. Wonderful! That's it, and we still have eachother when things get rough."

...

 

When you write songs, does it sometimes take half an hour to complete them, or does it sometimes take two years for one song? Do you have a clear pattern in writing the songs?

 -In our last album there were a song called Disarm Me (With Your Loneliness) and it took like seven years to finish it. And in the other hand, The Funeral Of Hearts from Love Metal-album was created in an instant. We had already completed the album, and then I just started to strum my guitar. Suddenly I got this feeling, that hell, we have to put it all togerther immediately, it happened so fast.-That's how you keep the interest in music in general, that sometimes you create the songs really fast, great songs at least in my own opinion. Sometimes you can create the song in one hour, but in other hand I believe that all life lived and those tiki bars in itself are making the songs all the time. And it's also true, that in a sense, you are making the same song over and over again, like writers are writing the same book. It's just that they have different angles. That's how I see it anyhow, even if it's difficult to explain.

 

 

If you would do a duet with a woman, who would you do it with?

 -I did the song Summer Wine with Natalie Avelon at one time. And it was a great succes, which was surprising. We did other things with HIM at the same time, and the song accidentally became a huge hit, especially in Southern Europe.- But if I could choose, I would propably do a duet with Annie Lennox. That would be so great, fantastic.-And now when I start thinking, even more pleasing option would be Debbie Harry, but it must be because I had a teenage crush in her, and it would be great to meet her. I have heard that she is a wonderful person. But that's a classic, the bigger the star, the nicer the person. Young scamps are always the most full of themselves. Debbie Harry would also fit into our world, our ideology and the feeling of our band.

"What was the best experience of this summer?

Ville: The coolest thing was at the Méra Luna festival, I met Wayne Hussey ( the Mission) and we partied together. I also met Carl McCoy, and Sisters of Mercy were great too.

Does Wayne Hussey know your music?

Ville: He bought both of our albums in a record store, that’s rare!

Is there a musician you would love to meet?

Ville: Well, Sopor Aeternus ( laughs). But I’m not a stalker, I didn’t run after the guys in Mission, I met them by coincidence and it’s always nice to meet new people, famous or not."

Possible. I think he doesn't remember cause it was 14-15 years ago.

But omg he noticed me twice.  

Ville is still close buddy with him. Jussi recently opened rock bar in Helsinki and there is a Heartagram lounge.
