HIM Memoriam 1991-2017 / Ville Valo

[lego 44,165]

I had time to re-listen only beginning before Pretending so here's what they said

 

J: I promised to you, I talked you over to come here, I said I won't interrogate you about "basic things" 
V: but you lied?
J: yeah I always lie, it belongs to the profession
J: so I won't ask about new album or do you have gf blah blah...but I couldn't sleep last night and I opened Youtube and searched "Ville Valo interviews" and all questions were the same "do you have a chick? so you stopped drinking?"
V: But the answers are different.  It's related to memory loss (laugh), in my opinion it's good get used to it, to see things from different angle which makes life more interesting...or to change girlfriends more often(laugh) 
J: if you get lucky (?) haha

J: your new album is coming...maybe...sometimes?
V: yes yes, working hard on it, but you know how it goes, sometimes slower...have to write the songs. (something about playing live? didn't get it) 

 

I'm not a native speaker, so sorry.

Which song do you guys listen to the least? Is there a weak HIM song for you at all?

[lego 44,165]

@poison girl those screenshots

 

hmm... I think DS&BH bonus tracks, those I listen the least, but there is no song that I hate.

But I want to know does he have a gf... lol

Thank you for translation @YourSweet666 

Yeeees, beautiful screenshots. 

I don't hate any song etiher, but I rarely listen to these: Heaven tonight, Don't close your heart, Drunk on shadows, In the nightside of Eden, Cyanide Sun, couple of songs from SW, Hearts at war, Into the night, instrumentals... These are the first I could think of. But there is more.

They were trying to remember first time they met and they both had different story and place in mind.

Jussi asked him "were you very shy when you were young?"

Ville: "Yeah I was, well I still am, but we know each other for so long."  

Close to 40 and still shy.

before announcing Deftones and Finnish band Peer Günt, Ville talked about Cafe Maestro where you could send sms to play your favorite song on jukebox so he knew what girls like, so he had something to talk about/start conversation. 

Jussi said about the song Backseat by Peer Günt, that the guys had said "you don't really have space, you can't  **** at the backseat of transAm." And Ville went quiet for a second  "...

well at least they couldn't. " (laugh)

Naughty.

Talking about collaboration with Anathema, Ville loves this band so much.

He mentioned this acoustic song they did together

 

 

 

 

He was so drunk, but it's still beautiful.

Funny! Nerdy!

@poison girl I don't love The Sacrament so much. No reason for it though, maybe it's the video that I don't love more so.

about Type O Negative, they were in Finland in '96 when HIM's first EP came out, Ville just turned 20 years old. They were on that old Jyrki tv show.

They tried to get him to talk to Peter Steele, he said "I couldn't do it(I wouldn't dare) for the first time on live tv to talk in English with my idol". 

lol

That is cute, but understandable since that is one of his greatest idols or heroes. I haven't wanted to meet and talk with mine either. Ville is sweet. You forget it sometimes with that face of his.

Oh he is sooo shy.  It seems he'll never stop being shy.

Yes he is a huge fan of Anathema, I have read in an interview that YS666 song (I think) was inspired by one of their songs I can't remember which one. And I have been trying to find that interview, but unsuccessfully.  It bugs me so much.

Yes! He mentioned that with Jussi too. YS666 guitar riff.

He said it's this song, but I don't hear it...

 

 

But he couldn't remember many things, so he could've mixed up the songs.

He tried to remember some songs by color of the CDs/album covers.

Yes! That's the song, Angelica! Oh thank YOU, that was really bugging me.

I remember that I couldn't find similarity then, and I can't hear it now either. 

 

16 years! Pic says it all.

I am liking this band and music, it's so mellow and prog rock. I am feeling it now. I will have to check out more of the songs.

This part about White Zombie was funny. Ville thought they're some techno crap at first, until he saw them live. Jussi said he thought the bass player lady was the most good looking girl with bone in hair and mini shorts. 

So Jussi said "I had the best fanboy groupie experience" and Ville starts laughing. Jussi's like "yeah no not groupie, cause that means to sleep with someone.  So I bought monster lollipop and forced myself to backroom(backstage?), and whispered: hey I got this as present for you"

And she was like "oh so sweet!"

Ville was then teasing him about always going backstage, he wanted to know more maybe about groupies idk...I didn't get that part. But it was funny.
