Ville Valo's lecture at the University of Helsinki(Finland) 14.01.2009

[@pitilessnightmare6879]

Just imagine you didn’t show up that day and when you come back you find out Ville Valo was in your class lol

[@facgce960]

YUP TIME TO MOVE TO FINLAND FOR UNIVERSITY CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN VILLE VALO MIGHT SHOW UP

[@Purplebellydancer]

my thoughts exactly :P

[@r___ane_0172]

I would weep Jesus tears if ville showed up at my school.

[@margaretkaPL]

I understand completely NOTHING but i really like this video. The piano version of 'Join me' and Ville's reaction were great :)

[@himacci]

Finns are obviously very kind people, I would like to live there.

[@alexprieto8277]

And educated. A lot of people from there are fluent in more than two languages.

[@kaskax95]

but its dark in the winter all the time and cold too

[@DM212009]

I can't understand a thing...but i heard the whole interview just to hear his beautiful voice

[@solominka]

Same

[@TheVictoriadeValo]

In this cute video (and yeah, i don´t understand a word too) i just know four things: 1.- I love when the conferencist (or teacher, i really don´t know what he is) plays Join Me with such a tremendous pleasure 2.- Ville is charming 3.- The teacher is really good, make their students laugh all of the time 4.- This vid needs URGENTLY subtitles xDDD

[@ILOVEDAVIDCAVAZIS]

I laughed a lot when he started playing the intro for Join me

[@Nxyphoenix]

The photographer taking a photo of Ville as he took a swig of soda 😂😂🤣 omg wth lol 😂 he must have been thinking “this moment ...this is art ! Must capture it!” Lol I can’t blame him but it was funny to see that excited energy lol

[@annsitar330]

This is awesome 👍👍👍 he plays that!!!!

[@galazprietof]

The lecture was about creativity, titled A Creative Life, under the Faculty of Behavioral Sciences in the University of Helsinki. Art is very subjective. Its weird to hear. When Ive written a song in a sad mood, and people use it as a wedding ballad, and theyre happily married, and they experience the song so differently than myself, its a bit weird occasionally. But still, it doesnt take from me away that feeling of nothingness, because that is what kills the analytical thinking at the cheese counter of music. *People burst laughing* Topic turns to a subject what are the essentials to conquer the world. There are no limits; just like with you [refers to the professor]. You probably didnt think of doing your career and professorship as quickly as possible, but for the fact that you were so into it. The passion just got you its like a whirlwind where youre rolling and then you find yourself a place like this. -surprising associations. The freedom of association is the foundation of everything in art. Keep everything open. -If you are afraid of that you wont be able to produce, lets say, the emotion that is extremely important for you, in melodies, then its better to let it rest for a while. Because otherwise you screw up because you wont be able to fulfil your own expectations that you have set for yourself. But if you screw up in, lets say Hesari [I think he means Kallio, the drunken area in Helsinki], that doesnt matter. *Audience laughs* Who am I to talk. All our albums sound the same. Weve polished the format. *And more laugh* Try to do this, especially if you have children. Turn off the TV for two weeks and see what it does to your ability to concentrate, and how it affects being awake in general. Talking about ADHD and everything, the flood of information is so heavy that nobody can concentrate on anything. It also associates with creating art.

[@kristinazuzu]

[@bubalicious2xx8]

I didn't understand a word but i laughed when everyone else did. :P

[@Oceansoul7777]

This is completely true... I's possible to recognise a Finnish guy by his voice (not talking about the accent)

[@poeticnerd1990]

@helsinkivamp101 true. He's like a good wine, He only gets better with age.

[@ZiaJester]

Every single member of my family ask me why would I want to go to Finland after I graduate from college. THIS IS WHY!!!

[@evilxolilgurl97]

Is it just me or do most Finish men have beautiful deep voice's

[@arttiwiskaru1970]

Isidora Soto yes we all sound like bears, and we all have huge penis and balls aswell. If u ask how i know: because we go to sauna naked

[@lillylazer429]

[@ih3artyou263]

[@lelecancook9474]

[@MarianaaCavalcantii]

Que legal! Seria uma pena se eu não falasse finlandês...

[@FerVenomus]

[@Nemie125]

It's good to see him looking so much healthier - he also looks very tall in this vid!

[@frauwaltraud2214]

1.83...wie immer

[@aaronzgirl]

A beautiful man most certainly. If there could be a translation that would be great. By the way,,,that lecturer is a good piano player, good rendition of Join Me.

[@Ninamarjaana]

Lecture is about young people how to success in life. Plus things what young people says (those funny parts when people are laughing).

[@ilovevilevalo]

[@mevbj9]

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

Wowww so cool

[@SRPSKAG0RAZDANkA]

omg ville valo shud come to my school =)) i

[@Ninamarjaana]

For example, Ville told that this song (Join Me) has been played many weddings..

[@Ninamarjaana]

At the end Ville gives adivice to those who have children: "Shut the TV off for 2 weeks and see what kind effect it brings for their conserstation"

[@taborszernagy]

respect

[@plusmiinusnolla]

And BTW , in Ville`s rigth arm there are pics of Timo K. Mukka, Charles Baudelaire and Charles Bukowski as far as I know. And upper there are this tattoo of a winged hourglass and a franch word for "a hermit" and also some strange figure I dont know...

[@may0217]

I agree with Diana1988!!!!

[@Blackbullet0666]

I've got a few things to say regarding this video. 1. Thanks a lot for posting!! Also, yeah he does look a little less skinny (gorgeous none the less). I do wish I we could understand what he's saying but he's obviously making his audience laugh! :) & I like how he's being photographed whilst he's just....drinking coke! Last thing...If he turned up in one of my uni lectures I'd be running to the front!! aha :D

[@natyknatyk2335]

Any trandlation, please! I'm still waiting..

[@julianaschirok2681]

When you read all those names and then Ville's...his name really doesn't sound too Finnish :)

[@shaun2053]

Hello everybody! Wow it is really intriguing to see an intervention by Ville Valo during a University Lecture! and it would be even better if those of us who don't understand Finnish could understand it, lol! So could someone PLEASE translate what Ville says into English? THANK YOU!

[@EmmyS92]

The only thing I can hear is (I think) is that he curses at one point (?!) xD I need to start learning Finnish again! When I was little I could a bit Finnish (I only had Finnish friends) It's awesome, especially when you're mad!! I still curse in Finnish rather than Swedish :P haha!

[@ninaj6051]

This is proof that the Finnish education system is the best in the world!

[@muana0]

I thought the first guy who appeared in the video was Benedict Cumberbatch 😂

[@drasticandsarcastic]

Yeah, he still is. (Yay for him!) He mentions it a couple times in an interview about the new album (interview dated June 6th of this year) posted by OdeForCruelty95. You should check it out, it's a great interview!

[@BarbwireHalo]

oh man i wanna go to this school if it means lectures from valo himself

[@mollyslips5380]

WE NEED A SUBTITLES

[@ILOVEDAVIDCAVAZIS]

Could anyone please translate this? En puhuo suomea

[@IreXD]

io lo amo semplicemente

[@sigidark]

Sorry there was something wrong with the programm. Nice video!!!!!!

[@kierkiegaard]

Even if I had one... don't you see that dictionary is of no use in this case? But thanks any way for the video, the most interesting one I've ever seen with Ville [:

[@StevenHoeg]

[@jessicanite1197]

Please translate this!

[@LuvBugBlaqkHart]

Oh, thank you "JamesWyndorf" for finilly saying that!!!!

[@mcblueyes]

@brenvonblumenkron thats sooo nice ! :]

[@theMyrtovio]

Can someone say what’s that video about?❤

[@lillinablue]

Subtitles⁉️

[@xxxWelpjexxx]

Me to ^^ whats the tattoo at is upperarm?? (above his elbow on the back side(yeah my english sucks -.-') But didn't we all already know Ville is smart (A) -xxx-

[@kierkiegaard]

I know 3 languages very well and I won't learn another one just to understand one video! Anyway, I translate regularly documents on-line and I do it with pleasure because I know how valuable is the knowledge that I have. I wish there were more people capable to share their abilities for free instead of spending their time on writing nonsenses like yours !

[@XxmanijakexX]

OH MY GOD

[@Ruhelin]

The timing of the piano player at 3:38 is a bit off. I've only listened to about twelve seconds of it, but I don't want to hear anymore simply because of that. Still, props to him for trying. If he could sort out that one little thing it'd probably sound great (unless he's just nervous that he's actually playing in front of Ville Valo, in which case I'm not sure I blame him :P).

[@frauwaltraud2214]

Sweet

[@GunsNRoses606]

@brenvonblumenkron Thanks for the advice. :D

[@HighestMetal]

lol dude playing join me in death on the piano

[@FerVenomus]

[@mcblueyes]

@brenvonblumenkron hmmmm idk why but im still curious about learning finnish :P lol anyways is finland a nice place? are finnish people amiable ?

[@plusmiinusnolla]

Who owns this video? I want, I need to know, please. I would like to see the whole footage not only this short version.... Thanks!

[@mcblueyes]

[@mcblueyes]

[@heavenwithin81]

OK PEOPLE where can i listen to Ville Valo when he was on loveline back in 2006. I've tried to go to the loveline archives and NOTHING..Help!!!!!!

[@thebitterpills]

[@ergoproxy2007]

[@rokchik37]

[@SacredShores]

I wonder what he was lecturing and what's the new tattoo of?

[@result-smayvary]

Damn it! What are they saying?

[@inloveinfreak]

it's to complicated for the dictionary...you can't completely understand what he is saying and even if you do you can't find every word and translate it... so if anyone know Finnish can he/she translate it??? if you can send the translation in the private message and I will put it in the info :)) thanks in any case :D

[@mcblueyes]

[@ReSiVaLo]

4:13..is that a tatoo at the back?!...I don`t mean the two faces...there is smth at the back up rfom his elbow..is that a tatoo...I had never seen that thing b4!

[@sick0304]

[@OneVikingHeart]

The only man on earth who is allowed to msoke in university lecture theatres.. :lol: ..Damn, his hands really look as if he's been working out. Now, we now that he's not a fan, but he really looks so, nothing leaft of the skinni guy from the end of 2007.

[@EllenBrodin]

[@EllenBrodin]
