But Ville shouldn't have pressure about he's looks. :grr: He's PERFECT. :flutter:He is right about the selfie stuff and also that it's not bad in itself to take care of themselves but it can go to far. I think the title in the video clip is a bit misleading, he is not meaning imo that everyone _should_ have pressure, but that everyone naturally does have at semi-middle age.

Funny that he' still joking about the satanic rumours.:toofunny: In Finnish mental and spiritual problems are almost the same words (henkiset ongelmat - hengelliset ongelmat). Those rumours were around because of the band name mainly and the first album.

It's awful to see that he was overworked and couldn't stop it in time. But I'm glad he could eventually ask for help. Blood coming from mouth, I feel like its a inflammation. You can get it even with drinking "mild" alcohol drinks, like beer (as Ville mentioned). It's some sort of "natural" escapism with us Finns, so many people here suffer from alcoholism or knows someone close who has it. Glad he spoke about this so openly.

About the videos  I did a flop translation. Not that much new to the Iltalehti news, I did not include it to this.

In the first video clip, the interviewer asks: at what point it did it came out that you cannot go on like that? (drinking)

-"I believe that it was more like "henkiset ongelmat" (mental problems), it's stupid thing to say but, like hengelliset (spiritual problems), as a satan worshipper as I am (laughing), satan didn't come when I wanted. It eats a man. (laughs) but it was when we had had a long album, one relationship had went to **** and many other things... Everyone breaks at one point."
-"I said to Seppo, their manager, if there is a place where I could go, just because... of course it was a good thing I was not drinking there but also one of the most important things was that my phone was not ringing and I could not use it. I couldn't handle all of that- everyone calling and saying to do this and that which was in itself sweet. But it has always been hard to me to stop in time. It has been my good and bad side. Patience takes to make stuff if it's a good thing. But who's to define that."

-But also, as the band profiles to you and you are in the album covers, do you have pressure about your looks?
-"Of course, but doesn't everyone have, like us semi-middle age one's should have pressure? Of course, people want to look good, it has nothing new or wrong about that. But everyone defines the line how much you want to do about it.

-"When you think about women, especially young women, it's insane, the energy, has been always but now.. When I look as an older guy, it's so.. like the internet and social media, it has became like this in my opinion through social media. You have so many people to compare yourself to all the time. Especially the selfie stuff. People start to walk on a street pouting their mouth, which is insane. Billy Idol didn't do that all the time, pouting half his face, he was a normal guy. (laughing, the interviewer: though it would be kinda cool) Yeah, but that would eventually lead to a stroke. But.. anyway, you try. When we did the ABBA video shoot, I did one and a half week maple syrup and lemon juice. I don't know if it's much or not, but anyway. I try to look good. Men cannot hide that much with make up... perkele. :D

Thank You! :wub:

I know that fast that he did. I know older guys than him that have done it for immediate results on short notice acting jobs and it works. I think it's a two week fast of those things and cayenne pepper, in a drink form. I have never done it though. It's a cleanser tonic.

Ville doesn't need to be thinking of feeling old and all of that, he looks so perfect now and handsome. I would be disappointed if he ever had work done out of all of this pressure. Doing natural things is great but nothing else. I know that I am outnumbered, but I honestly think he looks better now since he is older than all the times pictured as younger.

Fun mention of Billy Idol and of course he is so RIGHT! lol. Let Iggy Pop and Billy Idol guide him on aging in fine rock tribute.

and Hail HIS Satan~

lol **wink**

Another news above on Iltalehti: people have voted that they want Ville Valo to be in Vain Elämää show in tv, he has gotten over 10 procent of the votes :D But there also is stated that he will propably not be seen there this time. It's a show where there are musicians, who do stuff and cover each other's songs. It has been a hit here, but I got sick of it a long time ago, maybe just watched a few songs from youtube. It just seems so fake, I don't think Ville would want to be there. If he ever went there I would watch it of course. But it's so that I'm not sure if I wanted him to be there... Even though he could do justice to every song there, I couldn't take other singers raping HIM's classics....:saladga:

 

Someone made this photoshop

:yay:

 

I never watched it, I wonder if he'd accept invitation to any of these type of shows.

Too funny! I imagine that he would decline, but hey, I would like to see him anytime, so I would still watch it. And I hate stuff like that.

@Sister

 

The file is 183mb, over 2 hours (with music and commercials between) so I couldn't find a way to upload it to youtube, there are all sorts of limits.:neyde:

 

So you can download it from here

https://mega.nz/#!Cs8nUBTb!Mk7OKkkSHPgRL88fYyvI4YOw-ii7rgiNYAeoUrIrbio

 

@PennyroyalTea  it's safe...if you have time, please go through it and write some important points, like about the album etc.

 

He uses A LOT of slang, which I don't always get.

I understood that they are all on deserved holidays until summer(?) he's not even in touch with the guys. He mentioned autumn, but I think this year and someone said next year, so...:S

Thanks for uploading! I'll go through it when I have time, maybe tomorrow. The translation is sometimes a bit... I'd say challenging, but I hope you will understand it :D

He says something about Lady Gaga Poker Face, ABBA's Dancing Queen and Waterloo, probably about pop records that are popular and the ones he knows by ABBA :air:

why did I miss this live:flop:

Just was about to say this, he mentioned Gaga! He said that he doesn't listen to radio because he doesn't drive a car. And also said that he has missed for example Rihannas Umbrella, and Gaga's Poker Face, which was a super huge hit here then.

He said Abba is you know, disco-****, but good one. He had never heard the song before or Abba in general :air: When he was in Pop-jazz academy he had played bass in a music test then, song was Waterloo. And also that people joke about people who play bass here, but in drummers in abroad. Someone like Flea would be considered a freak here... Also that drummers are important, they are like a safety net. He meant that he's sad that so many have left, but also that they had good reasons to.

I think he secretly likes Gaga anyway :hor: I wonder if he has seen any of her performances?
