HIM's Ville Valo on Black Sabbath, Type O, New Solo Album, Music That Made Him

[@cloudbloom]

Shoutout to Type O Negative, my favorite band of all time🙏

[@philscanlan7321]

What a wonderful dude, integrity and humility are rare personality traits in musicians these days. Always a pleasure listening to his interviews.

[@moonchild88899]

Ville is so interesting, charming, articulate and clever in conversation as opposed to in interview where he kinda repeats himself and gives default answers. But THIS talk you were so lucky to have with him, i do love 🖤

[@bmoneyrancidfan91]

Villes the fuckin man .super underrated musician.

[@UCHUJIN0]

The more I hear him talk, the more I want to be his friend!

[@baldy_locks167]

I first heard HIM 22 years ago when I was 13 and I first saw them live 20 years ago. As I grew older I always kept an interest in what VV was up too but work and kids and life in general got in the way. When I heard he was making a solo album and touring I started listening again. Me and my buddy saw him live in London this past week and since then I’ve been devouring as much material from VV as possible. This ‘interview’ which felt much more like a conversation was beautiful! My favourite so far and I’m so pleased to be listening to his work again and feeling like my old teenage self again. Thank you.

[@anjo9407]

This is the best interview I’ve seen Ville do! The host asked such great questions that I haven’t heard others ask 🖤

Thank you for uploading! Another great interview with the genuine Ville!

[@shilohivy4590]

He’s gorgeous inside and out.❤❤❤❤❤

[@musemuser777]

She asked him about Peter Steele and then changes subject when he starts discussing him... Too bad....🔥🔥🔥

[@cindy6787]

Such a missed opportunity to hear more about Peter. I was disappointed she did that quick change.

[@suicidebambi]

Actually the change of topic wasn't as drastic in the original full-length interview 😊 This video is an edited version of the podcast (available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts I believe).

[@1gamz]

Omg now i understand why i've never listened /couldnt /havent been able to listen to the beatles. Im 35.Surprised/glad to see im not the only one. Every musician just worships the beatles regardless of the genre.I cant understand the happy go lucky, or lovey doveyness of beatles type of music. Maybe it'll change but i' m not sure

[@kos4290]

I guest you either get it or you don't) never associated their music with lovey-dovey it's so much deeper than that

[@HeartagramGirl30]

That is wisdom right there.

[@Just_Jess01]

I love you Ville❤ your such an amazing man! Please come back to Nola❤❤

[@HoneyDropsForever]

OMG l am so glad someone else gets why l wasn’t a fan of The Beatles… l was called a cynical elitist when l revealed my apathy towards them.

[@1gamz]

Hahaha to me the beatles maniacs are a bit elitists... 😂

[@HoneyDropsForever]

@@1gamz Thank you! It was spit take worthy-- I was like, "What--yah kiddin'!" I mean, I can make a nod toward their contributions to music and still not be a fan.

[@kos4290]

I love The Beatles, but if you don't - there's absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, those who put you down for it are just mean) tastes differ

[@HoneyDropsForever]

Indeed, let people love what they love--appreciate your comment :-) @@kos4290

[@kipel1563]

Great interview

[@federicogiordano8305]

See you VV June 23 in Oslo at Tons of Rock with Pantera Gojira Ghost Napalm Death and others🤘🏼🔥

[@kos4290]

Finally found a flaw in Ville Valo - he doesn't get The Beatles) Kudos for Suede and Type O though For those who like Type O suggest to read the book 'Soul on fire' about Peter Steele - it's very good, feeling like you knew the man after you read it. He was truly a nice and deep human being.

[@quemsoueu5136]

Of the few concerts I've seen of Him so far, in sofa, there's one in particular that I loved. It took place 22 years ago...I trully think was spectacular... I haven't seen all of them yet, but That's my idea of passing a time of quality....

[@quemsoueu5136]

Who in that vivid audience hasn't longed for a Remake of that gig in present days? Not even I cared at all , to repeat the imersive experience of that Festival, which I never actually got the pleasure of receiving

[@Itsrainingcatsyall]

What was the soundtrack to his first heartbreak? Lemon head suade?

Lemonheads and Suede, they're two different bands

He had me until he mentioned he doesn't like The Beatles, but then said he was Type O fan and had me again.

[@DailydoseofSteele13]

I can't stand the Beatles either haha even tho ik Peter Steele loved them. Ty for being honest Ville.
