HIM Memoriam 1991-2017 / Ville Valo

[Sister 9,907]

this pic is from 2013 but he looks like RR era Ville

I can't find the pic this reminds me of.  

 

the area around eyes reminds me of some of his expressions here

I'm such a loser.   

Me too, but No, we are not.

HIM Norway says on facebook that this is the drummers official page, so he must be right.

Dr Spin,

I love the band H.I.M. The music is awesome and Ville is fine.  But there is a ton of controversy that the band from Finland is satanic.  I've tried to look it up in hopes that they are innocent to this and received news that they were not satanic and others that they were in fact involved with satanic issues. Please help me find out the truth! Is the band H.I.M satanic?

Dear H.I.M fan,

I really do not want to investigate into whether a band is satanic or not, because it inevitably leads to people writing in about "satanic messages" and "backmasking" which I've covered in more than enough articles already.

I do not know much about H.I.M, but what little I found out, they seem to enjoy promoting satanic imagery; in that sense they remind me of Marilyn Manson; in other words, their "satanism" is tongue-in-cheek, and they play on it more for shock value than actual devout worship to Satan. They have been described as a "goth" band as well, and goth tends play up the macabre anyway.

H.I.M. does however stand for His Infernal Majesty, and that does concern me. At best, H.I.M, like Manson, is walking a fine, and as the old adage says, those who play with fire tend to get burned. You may consider lead singer Ville Valo "fine," but (not to get all Dr. Phil on you) maybe you're just attracted to his bad boy image.

If you're really concerned about H.I.M. being satanic, my best advice is to look for reviews from reputable sources, such as "Rolling Stone Magazine", or similar and see what they say.

I can't choose.  

I usually listen those two one after another and I appreciate those small changes in his voice and how he sounds older in 2013 but still so good and energetic.

 

Out of all of them maybe Kiss Of Dawn live, all those live versions in Finnvox studios sound so interesting and in the end you can hear the guys were having lots of fun.

I am talking to this new friend online and he says he likes a lot of HIM's music, but please do not tell anyone. lol So, I had to tell someone in private.

His favorites are Sweet Six Six and their cover of Don't Fear The Reaper.

Do most guys really hide that they dig their music?

They might hide yes. Because the lyrics are too feminine and cheesy to them, probably. So some hate them or hide that they like them. 

 

Look what Ville said about the haters

Ahaha, these comments. I agree with Ville completely and I don't like those bands that he called out either or nu metal.
