Picking Ville Valo's brain, special guest: his ghost.

[@ashjamie]

Aw Ville has such a beautiful mind. No one really knows and realizes that he's a total genius.

[@JuciyLucy]

Probably one of the best interviews I have seen with Ville. I love that you are just having a really thoughtful conversation, really interesting questions. Ville is such a lovely, down to earth guy, I'm always blown away by it. It would be really nice to just sit and have a long chat with him.

[@erikaschmied263]

CB.

[@paulinacarlisle7389]

very well said; I 100% agree

[@ValoSue]

interviews from VILLE are always a enourmous pleasure-he´s a very deep thinking guy,a warm-hearted person -his divine smiling keeps me warm......

[@OurBrokenDreams]

the man sure loves to talk and just reflect on any thing. what can you do after all he is somewhere in between a scorpio and a sagittarius gotta love him

[@arneywonttell7263]

this man has a very beautiful mind. His perception on art is as deeply complex as that of hendrix or SRV. now i see why his music is so personal.

[@TheSassE]

His intelligence is unreal. Ville is beautiful.

[@TasteitTV]

It's because I look at myself as a fan and ask what I really want to know. It frustrates me enormously when reporters ask about girlfriends or why their hair is a certain color. I saw an interview w Robert Smith (the Cure) where the were talking about his make up! I just don't understand, I mean, this guy is one of the most amazing artists alive, has the ability to translate 'life' in music. I really don't need to hear why he wears lipstick.

[@robjbob]

He looked absolutely gorgeous yet so professional in this interview. And, he looked comfortable with himself. I adore it. Very good interview. ^-^

[@irisvalo8875]

How many times has he said "you know"? hahaha I love him, he is very smart and you can realise of that by listening to the songs he write... they're full of meaning

[@katkorman1581]

It's kinda like Billie Joe Armstrong "y'know, y'know, y'know"

[@PinkFloydMuser]

Like Matt Bellamy 😂😂

[@lexilee6946]

i love how ville talks with his hands

[@TasteitTV]

Yes, I think he's a really interesting smart guy who has some original points of view that I would love to hear more about, so I'll definitely ask for another interview. I think he liked the fact that we were having a conversation :)

[@fallingheart33]

My goodness I haven't seen this video in a long time; funny thing is I'm pretty sure thats the scarf I through on stage to him in November of 2007. Awesome story; he picked it up smelled it and with a big smile and wide eyes placed it around his neck. He wore it the rest of the show. :) Hmmm wonder if he really keeps things like that after the fact.

[@Itsrainingcatsyall]

American celebrities could never get away with conversational interviews like this…

[@raverella]

This is the Best interview I have ever seen of Ville. It is real and personable. Watching this makes me feel like I, too, am sitting in the room listening to his opinions and feelings on these topics. Two thumbs up. :-)

[@poemart99]

Love HIM even more now...great interview...*sigh* that voice...

[@0bananna0]

"trying not to be too blunt... and i'm not talking about james" lmfao

[@dreamsellernovak1]

ville's got a great perspective of life. he's a great guy and speaks from the heart. he's so intelligent and has obviously learnt alot from life.

[@him4evur]

Man he is just all around the greatest man on earth. Ville is just so smart and its really nice to see this side of him other than seeing his goofyness in interviews.[[which is chaming and cute to watch]] but its nice to hear his opinions in these kind of things. O god i could talk to him forever.

[@Fighter9876]

sorry i just couldn't help but realize when he interrupted you, he said "Sorry about that by the way." what a gentleman :) I agree with everyone else, this was a spectacular interview! i enjoyed it very much. The questions, and answers were great. :) thanks

[@sweetheart912r]

pain is a reminder that you live..that is so true...i love ville..he is a very special man..

[@wildebiester]

It´s a brilliant interview! It shows a very interested and intelligent Ville Valo.

[@catsandbarbells]

This was an incredible interview. I wish I could see more like them. Brilliant.

[@fannyalexander5906]

I'm a fan of HIM and Ville and it's funny when I introduce them to some of my friends, they tend to be so judgmental and everything. Maybe because they're kinda goth or the way they look with all those tattoos, smoking and alcohol. It's just so sad they don't get to see what we (him fans and Ville fans) on them. How incredible their music is, how talented they are and that in reality, Ville is a man of substance, very wise and a gentleman.

[@SacredShores]

Very true. There are aspects to him that are just very deep and thoughtful.

[@heathereton5582]

One of my favorite interviews.

[@TasteitTV]

Thank you :-) I am very happy that you enjoyed it, I hope I get a chance to do this again, it is always nice to talk to an artist who is not afraid to openly share his views :)

[@thekindredspirit]

It's refreshing to see the more serious side of an artist and not always the entertaining front they often put on for show. So many time in interviews Ville is joking around or giving different answers to the same old questions. This is a nice change of pace. Oh... and thanks for not asking him "What is Love Metal?"

[@xxmychemicalgirlxx]

You're the greatest interviewer I have ever seen. You don't focus on rumours of celebrity gossip, more on opinions and getting to know them more.

[@TasteitTV]

@Meredith08garretH no its the penthouse suite in a hotel in London, close to where they were playing that night. the record label had rented it to do interviews. It was quite incredible! even had a balcony.

[@Laerlend]

That was one of the best interviews I've ever seen :D Go you! This is so much more interesting then the usual mindless blabbering. :) And I bet it was much more interesting to Ville too :) He's such an interesting and deep person, and it's nice to hear his opinions on other things then the..teen-magazine-like topics many other interviewers talk about ;p Thanks :)

[@Klaryrock95]

I'm italian so I really didn't understand what he said but I can't stop listen to that amzing voice!!

[@ketrin1102]

I think he is talented of many sides ..not only in music.. He has opinion of everything which we ask of :) this is awesome :)

[@Damshii]

Ville likes to talk! :)

[@TasteitTV]

It's like sitting next to Shakespeare and asking who did his hair?! Or asking Michelangelo if his arms hurt from painting on the ceiling. I don't get traditional media anymore. Why do you think I started Taste iT Tv ;) I get a great response from a lot of people so I hope that I will be able to turn it into something big

[@emilyownsarat]

Probably the best interview I've heard yet.

[@naiadmuse]

I adore what he said about art and dna and everything. :) I view life the same way.. that almost everything is art in a sense, and that life and art imitate each other. It's all so very relative. Wow, he's smart and so profound! Love it! Also what he said about pain. We are such kindred spirits. This conversation is a piece of art indeed! :D When was this recorded? Anyone know?

[@jaketull7680]

thank god a good interview with ville

[@crimsonmoon92]

Omg, I love you! Please do! Ville is the only and most intellectual famous person that I have came across. I respect and admire the guy like no other. And you're right, he probably did, knowing Ville. Someone finally came at him with some thought behind the question, not the same bullshit questions that other journalists ask. Kudos!

[@soypedofrito]

I love your interviews Brigitte, this is amazing :) I love Ville's voice.

[@crimsonmoon92]

That's what makes it so beautiful, though. That it's actually a conversation and not an interview. Heartagram Hugs!

[@heavenmemoriesnotta]

he has great views on everything... especially what makes an artist. and that quote seems totally true and it's very amazing how it happens, that businessmen talk about art, but artist talk about money. i guess any artist is a businessmen and any businessmen is an artist. everything in the world is a circle... even life itself. :P

[@HamtaroMegan]

ive seen him live and i can say he truly is a very lovely human being :)

[@Thunder6957]

Very well spoken interveiw!!!!! Thank You for sharing!! Awsome stuff!!

[@dreamsellernovak1]

everybody's got a story to tell. everybody's got a different swagger to their walk. words of wisdom/ville

[@Jillian286]

he looks so good in his video, love his clothes and his hair

[@MrsHolliValo]

What a great interview! FINALLY an interviewer who askes good questions and has a good topic instead of the idiots who always ask about his alcoholism and dumb shit... this shows so beautifully his brilliant mind and deepness of the man who is Ville... the real side.. not the "rockstar" side.. loved it... 5/5/ and faves// plus subscribed so i can see straight away all new postings!!!!! XOXOX

[@him4evur]

o god that amkes me so mad too. people dont even realize how amazing he is! he is just perfect

[@VampireLily616]

Great interview - really interesting, thank you! Now on to Part 2! :o)

[@TasteitTV]

Thank you :) I have seen that in a lot of artists, they are great thinkers, we just have to allow them to really show this :)

[@Oddestgoddess]

This was amazing, finally an interview with this amazing man that wasn't based on useless modern CRAP! (: Thank you for this.

[@Jusplais]

hypnotic suggestion of the sales men, like Obama shouting change, but concealing what kind of change.

[@mariabella19]

yay he's seen closer I loveee that movie!

[@TasteitTV]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it :)

[@Himfannr666]

You ask really good questions! This is a great interview; not like any other! Keep it up; PS love ville! :-)

[@ladycroft17]

You did great work by doing that interview! Greetz

[@TasteitTV]

@headfirst4halos9 hahaha :) thank you, yeah, I do try to reply, doesn't always work, cause sometimes I have too much on my head and I forget to check out the comments, but it means a lot to me that people actually make the effort of commenting. It's not my job by the way, I am a computer programmer, this is just something I do because I love it :) x

[@Roux13]

I get where he is comming from. I agree with him about all of what he said. About Art, pain, emotional times. It's funny how you actually do listen to gloomy things instead of the happy things when you are depressed. It makes you feel better in a way. Like you are not alone and someone understands what you are going through. He deserves a pat on the back and a large hug^^

[@jetura07]

Wow! Excellent interview! Thanks for a nice, fresh, no random bullshit video!!!!

[@cla855]

When I was younger all I wanted was to kiss your heavenly face. Now I wish I could converse with you. Every interview blows me away. You are so ahead of the game, your fans have no clue.

[@erikaschmied263]

DU*ARME*.

[@Love4Mcfly]

i find Ville so interesting♡

[@TasteitTV]

it was just before the show in London, in December. I don't remember the exact date anymore, but i think the 7th

[@EcHeLoN5242]

very very interesting interview..I really like the questions

[@TasteitTV]

you are welcome :) it's the only type of interview I want to do (except for the hilariously funny one's like with MSI and The Blackout :) as long as it shows the artist I'm happy :) B

[@TasteitTV]

this was the 7th or 8th of december, don't know exactly anymore ;) was the second date they played in the Astoria in London.

[@danielhatter]

Ville

[@dreamsellernovak1]

pain is a reminder that you live.

[@MrGreenbottleblue]

Art to me is the aspect of individuality to have it's own meaning to be completely different from everything else out there. But that might just be me. Lol

[@Adarii555]

ville is a super random man

[@EcHeLoN5242]

*bows head* to Ville, I really would like to speak to a man like this for hours!

[@TasteitTV]

I will try my best :) if you want to help and have ideas on that, please don't hesitate to share, I can use all the help I can :) B

[@TasteitTV]

yr welcome :) thx 4 watching :)

[@Dayscape]

Fucking Brilliant Man! amazing interview very informative

[@insaneindamembrain9878]

Ohhhh woww

[@Jusplais]

simple art is replication and cleanly presented of information with the viewers extra angle. entertainment is amusment. That is why a diary is a diary. specific definiton, but things cross.

[@jeseyraalcantar]

Pure poetry n.n 3 VILLE

[@taniareginadeolivera6072]

[@TasteitTV]

Hmm interesting, I didn't mean it to come across as negative, when I am discussing stuff and I'm thinking I can be quite passionate with my tone of voice, but it wasn't meant in a negative way, more in an encouraging, 'I wanne know more way' I'll try to think more about how it comes across. thx :)

[@rivaltuna]

actually, i had a loose tooth, and sneezed in my basement on a white wall about 7 years ago, the tooth came out and there was some blood on the wall, and i missed a few specks or so, and eventually the blood turned brown green.

[@Theaba15]

I think it was something about what causes a depression.. it could be almost anything and that a depression means there's something wrong..

[@tforal2]

and because he's hot , cute and funny

[@TasteitTV]

thx, I was a bit offended at first when I read how you hated that I interrupt him. I get quite a lot of 'hate' comments on conversations that I do, and it sometimes gets to me. Especially because I try to respect everyone and I really do have a lot of respect for the artists as well as my fellow fans. Heartagram hugs too :)

[@KendraJo97]

I know I did not just hear Ville Valo say "swagger".

[@amalijabatak2015]

great love it

[@VeganDeterioration]

ok at 8:12 i just want to hug him, for some reason

[@TasteitTV]

@headfirst4halos9 thank you :) x

[@catsandbarbells]

I want to find more interviews like this. If I watch one more interview where they ask, "who are you dating" I'll slash my wrists and die. Again.

[@jakedanx]

@crittoprrr watch the digital versiltile doom interview it close to an hour long and so deep.its on here

[@TasteitTV]

You are welcome;)

[@TasteitTV]

Thank you :)))

[@TasteitTV]

thank you :) and that is because next year I am marrying to my one and only love of my life ;)

[@apokalexa]

hmmmmmm...I wish I could talk to him ♥

[@robjbob]

I get mad every time she tries to take the microphone away >:o

[@TasteitTV]

thx, I had 7 or 8 in my head, but yr right 13th :)

[@fallingheart33]

No, just a hotel.

[@crimsonmoon92]

It's exhilirating; I'd rather see a person with their sword down than up. By the way, would you ever do another interview with Ville? It seems like he likes you.

[@LuvBugBlaqkHart]

wow! he doesn't look like the type of guy to like Neil Young! But fuck yeah Neil Young is awesome!

[@crimsonmoon92]

Yeah, I kind of knew someone would be, but I didn't really care. And it really wasn't meant to be a 'hate' comment, it's probably because I used 'fuck' and 'hate' and the negative connation that those words carry that made you think that. I don't like arguments, period, I hate being in them, and I hate being around them, the negative energy hurts me. There's a weird feeling I get when I can change an argument into a friendly conversation, just by a change in tone and in use of words.

[@Meredith08garretH]

that is the house of ville???

[@Marizaa1]

great interview,I'd like to talk to him for hours,he's very talkative and smart,and when was this?

[@TasteitTV]

I really don't know how you can download the vid from here, maybe someone else on here knows? If you want to use it on a site, you can use the embedded code, but that doesn't give you the video yet. I hope someone else will be able to help you, I don't know :( I have it on my pc of course, but it's too big too mail.
