Ahaha, you're welcome. I don't listen to them very often, but my friend is a huuuge fan. So whenever we party, I go YOUR LAAAHV IS A RAZORBLADE KISS and she's like SWEETEST IS THE TASTE OF YOUR LIPS :cryga:

I cried to Gone with the Sin once :toofunny:

This interview is now uploaded in better quality

 

They performed Join Me and Death Is In Love With Us (for the first time).

The mess with Gas' drums at the end. :air: 

This was year '99 on his birthday, so he just turned 23?

 

@PennyroyalTea if you have time please translate for other HIMsters here. :heart:

 

Oh my God, this interview was hilarous :air: He's poking fun ALL THE TIME, it's just impossible to put in the translation. He's not taking that seriosly the questions, so you shouldn't either, well you can see it :DDD He looks so young and cute here too :wub: 

But here it is, with all the mistakes, enjoy :staymad:

_______

You have so many words like "love" and "death" in your songs, why is that? are you so gloomy fellows?
- ..what could I say to that... well, yeah...
-...or are they connected to each other? these two things?
-Not necesseraly, we are these boring, post-puberty boys who have spent their lives watching b-class horror movies... and ****, of course. sponsored by my father :D
-excellent.

-Good morning Ville! Dont look so tired! Or are you already old and tired`?
-I'm not old, I'm just tired.
*people are singing happy birthday to ville, giving the cake*
-Oh wow, this is bad for my image...
*people giving all those gifts, Ville hugs and thanks them all*
-This is so adorable, gives a tear to my eye!
-But besides celebrating your birthday, you also have to work, how do you feel, you got the single out today?
-Is it, I don't know... I have not seen that single cover before today, this is all record company's doings. But it's great, we can get it going. We've got a lot of gigs going on in the future.
-*ville takes a slice of cake*
-I take just a small one, have to think about my figure! *laughs*
-...And also making an album takes it's own time, mixing and mastering. It's been all work.
-If you compare new record to the earlier one, what kind of changes has happened?
-It's better, the songs are better, it's more progressive, it sounds more like how we sound when we play live on stage. It's more boastful, honest, sweaty, bloody, powerful, beautiful, more sensuel, it's what an album should be.

Part two
-You said your very slim appearance is because you are "pining away of poetry" or how did it go? You do really not look like that...
-well, but I can hear that.
-you can still eat that cake

The questions:
-Can you ask do HIM have a gig on Helsinki, and if it is, where?
-Tavastia-klubi. It's the new-years eve's most rock n' roll scene out there. We have rock'n roll people opening for us, so if you don't want teenage-pop like Don Huonot, you can go and see us big boys. *laughs* well, I'm one year older than them...

-Is it ok if we play your songs on our gigs?
-Of course it is, I get coins out of it. *laughs* well, it's great and I'm honoured that people do that, even in Germany people play our songs. It's greatest thing we can get - doing something that has an effect to other people.

-Well I'd like to know are you gay or not? *hungs up*
-Did not have guts to hear the answer *laughs* Well I cannot tell that, I'd gotta keep the tension and mystery. My favourite restaurant is Lost and found, but I still like so spend time with young women.. So maybe there is no definite solution to this, you can lose either gay or straight audience, so let's try to keep both audiences. *laughs*

-Do you have a girlfriend?
-I'm not telling.. I have several girlfriends, but I'm not in a serious relationship now.
-Does this keep the rock image, saying you are not committed so that girls can have a crush on you easier?
-Hard to say, after all my private life doesn't belong to anyone. I try to avoid telling too much about my family or friends.
-It makes sense.

-I'd like to ask how do you relax yourselves?
-Well... This is young people's show...
-Say the clean version
-I drink myself to intoxication without throwing up. It's a good way to relax, going to a loud bar and spend time with girls like these *looks around* and drinks a couple glasses of red wine, and everything is ok. Its a good way to remove the pressure of this world, get them off your shoulders, it is an excellent way. Of course there are many more.
-Say another really good way? Other than bars...
-I love to bathe. In a bathtub. With blood *laughs*
-With foam and oil and ducks...
-Even though my mom's family is from Hungary, we dont have that hard Transylvanian rites. *laughs*

-Another questions about tattoo, apparantly shows the arm tattoo first time. Says that he's not a fan of piercings.

*Performance of Death is in love with us*
-What was this?
-I don't know, it's our Black Sabbath fixation on fire again!
-this is good, because one of the questions was that are you going to slowly slide into a pop band, and I think this proved that wrong.
-No we are not going to, and that was a reason why we played this song.

-And then we have all these letters of how Ville is so sexy...
-I'm going to put these on the walls of my bathroom.
-So many of these praise you the most sexiest man on earth. Is it a horrible thing that people think that you are a sex symbol?
-Difficult to say, it doesn't affect to my daily life that much.
-You can get all these...
-Nice, its good stuff to masturbate, no need to buy the next Jallu when it comes (a finnish **** magazine:toofunny:) *laughs out loud*
...But that was an ugly thing to say, I'm so sorry.
-Thank you for being here, what plans do you have?
-I'm not sure yet what the boys have planned, most likely being bored with a beer and think about good and bad things in life.

@PennyroyalTea Yes, Thank You! So, we have Birthday, blood, rites, Black Sabbath, girls, gays, beer and wine, naughty big boys and even cake....Awesome and Ville looks like a perfect and pretty little thing back then, too pretty for Love.:wub:

I can't wait to find out more about the new surprising recordings with Ville and his friends, I just want something and not so much time to go by in between. Patience. Right, my dear ones. :excited2::giggle::hor:

The future's uncertain and the end is always near.

Oops I forgot to answer earlier! You are all very welcome, it's nice to discover old interviews and make a little nostalgia trip (when I thought about it I'm 99 procent sure I've seen this one cos I used to always watch that show for music videos...)

And WHAT are these special recordings?? Is it going to be with Andy McCoy, I'd be here for it.  :giveup:

Patience, never heard of that word before :gaycat:

Yes. I have watched that old Birthday interview before untranslated and in worse quality, but it was always cute. I guess that we at least have this first special recording with Andy McCoy, but maybe even others. Ville seemed to hint that the band were working on other projects that we all do not know about, when he let us all down in his announcement about having no Helldone this year, so all is not lost, at least. I am interested in Ville's solo projects and any work that he will do. His voice and mind is so intriguing and unique. I just want him to have frequent work and to not stay away, even if the band is in a break mode for even longer than we expect.

Big week for Gaga and us fans and to a bright and fun full week~

:wub:
