Yes. Drugs are the end of the line. Ville motivates me right now to drop even cigarettes. I am clean besides those. I doubt Ville will be pictured running, he seems to know how to stay out of the media when he is away. A good and bad thing, lol.

I don't see why he worries so much about competition and charts. Bands and especially, metal bands are all their different parts and ways that make up the sum of it, we need all of them and charts do not matter, nor competing with other bands. There is only one HIM and that is enough, they are different and still needed.

That would be so fun to see him running. :air: There is one gif, I can't find it now.

Yeah but he should know that all artists suffer from lack of sales unless you're Adele. :green: 

They were signed to Warner, lots of promo, it was different time. It's important that they can still tour, that's where their money is and the merch.

Also because he's refusing to use social media, I bet the sales for next album would be bigger than expected if he would do some promo on twitter/instagram/facebook.

 

Yeah, let him inspire you Sis, it must be hard for him to drop the cigarettes, he was too addicted :giveup: I hope you can do it too! It's hard, but you can do it!

I don't think he should worry either.. HIM's got pretty loyal fans, they always have public, even with all the hiatus etc. It is SURE that the sells would increase if he made a social media... I think their managament probably already said it to him, because sometimes the managament takes care of the social media, which they make exactly for this, even if the artist doesn't really have interest on using the page. I don't know why Ville refuses it so much.

He is too good in hiding. It's annoying. ?

Even in Tavastia, we don't know WHEN they arrived or when they left. We saw the car in front. Inside there is 'semifinal', smaller venue, I went there to female toilet hoping to bump into any of them. :rip: But no. There was a guy standing in front of the way to backstage, they were so well protected.

These fans who met him, they have so many pictures with him, I guess also more experience how to find him. 

Yes... Sometimes I think this is really unfair. Everybody should have an opportunity, and while we don't have any, they have a thousand opportunities to meet him :giveup: I really don't know how they do it. haha

I think in the UK was easier to meet them, it seems.

That one blonde girl though? How? She is just lucky or knows someone? All of this is both good and bad. I feel caught in the middle.

They even became popular more in 2001 with the help of Internet! Heartagram.com had very nice page and a chatroom, I used to spend my nights there. :air:  I was also smoking that time, staring at the screen and chatting about Ville. lol

Then they had forum and later it was closed, it just became online shop for merch. Idk why they don't hire someone to help them with that website.

It seemed like Russia was easiest for all and happiest of all. We got a lot of great stuff, so I am happy that the fans got so much out of them, but especially out of Ville.

Yeah she said it was by accident before the show. But she didn't want to tell me when. And she has pics with Kosmo and Linde inside the venue. I think she even went backstage. I asked for some tips, she just said "good luck and don't push it, you know how it must be annoying when everyone asks him for a picture..." :emma: I was thinking "well no ****." lol

Yeah Ville asked is there any muscle guy to take him out. :air: He said "soon he'll change the shirt too", cause he was second time fighting, but this time without a beanie. He's so stupid. :smh:  

Ville had enough of his bs.

in that Soul on Fire video Ville said they won't remember anything tomorrow. lol

"Let's take it easy, it's not cool to have bloody noses" or something, that was first warning obviously.

no one recorded bleed well... :air: 

I know, I was looking at all of these nights last night. I have only seen yours on your day, I think. Someone may still add more in a few days. Or just audio from whole shows. I am thankful for yours. :flutter:

I am mad at myself, because I didn't catch the beginning and my camera was losing focus, getting blurry all the time.ugh 

I was hoping others will do a better job but no one is sharing. :noparty:

Yours is alright, it's hard to focus to begin with and to focus in a moving crowd and with Ville in front of you, I am sure. Maybe someone will pop up with it on The Sacrament board and say they are only sharing there. Things turn up eventually. Even that super fan Sinulle might put some things up later.

It has been a fun experience, all of this and much happiness and laughter. I even enjoyed trying to watch the live broadcasts and all from afar.

I do not know where that thumbnail pick comes from on that video above, it looks like it is from an interview and I think that I scrolled past it last night while looking at stuff. If I see it first, I will post it here.

*flawless answer is Flawless

Twin Peaks : Fire Walk With Me

"I watched the entire series of Twin Peaks for the first time in ages and I ended it by watching Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me. It's the movie that describes Laura Palmer's last couple of days. It's the time before the series started. I think that was pretty scary because it's so odd. There are scenes that are so wrong. It was old school too. I loved it when it was the biggest thing and it was on TV. We always talked about the series at school and we couldn't wait for the next episode to come out and figure out who was Laura Palmer's killer. It's a big part of my youth as well! It's not a recent film and it got really bad reviews when it came out because it's so arty and different as opposed to the bit more palatable Twin Peaks series. It's funny because I didn't remember the movie being so weird and left-of-center. Some things stand out, like the ladies at the end that just dance around to that really moody music. There's nothing going on and it lasts for like five or six minutes. David Lynch is great at setting up a mood. It's a mood where you're not sure if you should be scared or you should laugh. I like those borderline emotions. You're not sure how to feel. That stuff gets me going. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and the tips of your toes. You always remember the scares don't you? I'm basically looking for anything that's out of the ordinary. I'm just waiting for new stuff to happen."

http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/119066/hims-ville-valo-shares-his-favorite-horror-flicks/

But, I am happy to see that Ville chose that movie and likes it, most people hated it and have given and still do give it a hard time. I love it and recommend it and especially if you have watched the entire Twin Peaks series and skipped this movie because of ratings or word of mouth, also David Bowie is in it.

I love it, saw it first night Midnight viewing at the theatre and someone let a snake loose that stopped the viewing during, but all went on :air: my friend who went with me was ::::shattered:::: lol

@SubRosa

What all exactly did that blonde girl who kept meeting Ville say? She was just lucky? Did she say how he was with her or what was said? Curious as a cat here~ :gaycat:

Also, that thumbnail pic from the video, do you mean the one that is pictured, with the soft gray hoodie?
