lego 44,165 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 This is 3 years old, but I just found out and you guys, I'm so happy you have no idea! Thank you @Sister for this. It's translated from German so there might be some mistakes. The record companies’ pressure on the bands to produce single has somewhat lessened these days. “And apart from that, you never know anyway what becomes a hit when you work on new material,” says Ville. “It’s far more important that the songs are hits for the band members themselves because you know, we are the broken jukebox that has to play them on concerts for months! So it’s important to be selfish in that point instead of sitting in front of the radio and trying to guess what people might like. Especially in our case, that would just be a disaster, because aside from being dishonest, it would also not challenge us. Of course we can’t free ourselves from the songs we watch and listen to in the radio or on TV and YouTube. Very deep inside, we’re influenced by Lady Gaga, even if you, it goes without saying, don’t listen to it. http://valo-daily.livejournal.com/5071548.html "It" tho. They probably mean HER. But anyway I'm so happy!! He's watching the Queen on Youtube. Queen of influencing love metal band. Now collaborate! adding better translation "We are influenced by people on the radio, like Lady Gaga, even if you don't notice it in our music, which goes without saying."

hmm 979 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Just now, YourSweet666 said: Thank you. It does. Are you sure the comment isn't somewhat shady though? On second read it almost seems like they're holding Gaga up as a standard of mass made pop, but given it's a translation it's probably me over-analysing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to hear his tone to know if he's shady. This was in 2013, when Gaga was everywhere with ARTPOP. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok that sounds great too, thank you! He was talking in English or Finnish, so it was translated to German and then back to English.

Sister 9,907 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ville can't escape Gaga and her influence. I hope he'll mention more about pop influences when he comes back with promoting the band's new album, more on this subject. We are on FIRE @YourSweet666 The future's uncertain and the end is always near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
